Onward on Gamefound: 1,500 backers and you.


Hello, buongiorno, bonjour!

More than 1,500 of you have already joined us for the reprint of Onward and the launch of its first major expansion: Twisted, introducing Solo and Co-Op gameplay.

We’ve reached the middle of the campaign, the quiet stretch where the initial noise settles. If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now is a good time to catch up. We recently posted a series of detailed updates breaking down core features of the game like heroes and items for those who are new. You can find them just below!

Onward: Twisted

Twisted is our answer to the request for a dedicated Solo and Co-op experience. It introduces variants for the 32 heroes you already know, but with a focus on keeping the overhead low. We wanted the "AI" to feel like an opponent, not a math problem.

You can find a cool video from Alex at BoardGameCo to see what the expansion is about:

Since we’re an independent studio, we don’t often have all our projects in stock at once, so this is a rare chance to grab our previous stories too. And yes by stories I mean games:

  • Skytear Horde: Our take on the siege-defense genre. It’s a solo/co-op card game born from our love of defending the walls against impossible odds.
  • Dicequest: For when you want to let the dice decide your fate (and your quests).
  • Olan Taa: The Worldbook for Dungeons & Dragons 5e that holds the lore and the "soul" of the universe these games live in.


That’s all for now. We’re heading back into the Gamefound comments to chat with the backers. We hope to see you there.

In the meantime: keep playing, keep having fun and enjoy your day!

Croa Croa!

Dear gamer, Skytear is becoming Season 8 of Exceed... on Gamefound soon! I’ve wanted to write this newsletter for a while but we've been too busy wrapping up our 2 recents projects: Dicequest and Onward: Twisted (late pledges for Twisted are still open btw). The Exceed Skytear season was announced about 1 month ago elsewhere... and since then a couple of Gamefound comments already captured the mood we're aiming for: “Oh god, my two obsessions are combining? This is the best” Or even: “THE...
