Wow, what an incredible few weeks it has been! We launched Role on Kickstarter at the start of June, excited and nervous to see how the community would respond.
The response was overwhelmingly positive, making the Role campaign a smash hit success! Together, we raised over $100,000 in support of our tools and passionate creator partners. We’re overwhelmed, awestruck, and immeasurably grateful.
To everyone who helped make this possible: THANK YOU!
As a special treat for our community, we’re celebrating with a brand-new pack of Role Wallpapers! Grab them for your favorite devices, and show off your love for all things Role. <3
We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we wanted to take a moment to share what comes next…
Early Access & Launch!
First, we’re moving full-speed ahead for an Early Access launch this Fall. Backers of our Kickstarter campaign, along with members of our creator community, will get private first-access to our tools as we prepare them for launch. We’ll be actively listening to feedback, and iterating on the Role platform every day to ensure the best possible environment for everyone to play their favorite games well!
Check out our early gameplay demos here:
Early Access will take us through the end of this year. For everyone else, we’re bringing Role to full public launch in early 2021! We know you’re eager to play, and we’re eager to get Role in your hands as quickly as possible.
Great Creator Games
The Role campaign wasn’t just about tools – it was also about funding great original games! Over the course of the first year, our 7 new creator games will be released – first to Kickstarter backers, and then also made available for sale on the Role marketplace. These titles include…
Wait… wasn’t there one more game coming? A stretch goal perhaps?
That’s right: thanks to everyone’s generous support, we’re bringing our own original cyberpunk horror hack – Mothership CHROME – to players everywhere!
If you’ve been following our Twitch streams, you already know – but if you’re new to the world of CHROME, we’re so excited to show you what’s coming!
Based on one of our favorite RPG systems, this stand-alone game will be a total-conversion of Tuesday Knight Games’s Mothership. Where the original game is rooted in deep space horror and interstellar adventure, CHROME takes players into the gritty cyberpunk metropolis of New Los Angeles.
Expect brand new character classes, skills, gear, cybernetic augmentations, and dozens of hours of setting & encounter content.
Blood, metal, bullets, ghosts in the machine – Mothership CHROME is coming to rattle your circuits in 2021!
Thank you again to everyone who has come along on this adventure so far. The Role community is growing every day, and we’re so glad to have you here. This is just the beginning of great things to come!
Let’s tell our favorite stories – together. <3
