New Website is Live! Plus: You can now pre-order Warden!

If you can read this you've landed on our brand new website! It should be much faster, more stable, and allow us to edit and add new content more rapidly.

In conjunction with this today we're going live with pre-orders of the PC (Windows/Mac/Linux) version of Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth. If you pre-order via the Humble Widget you'll get a DRM-free copy of the game, as well as a Steam key, for all three PC platforms, as soon as the game releases.

You can find out more info about the game and pre-order either on the landing page of our website or on the Warden page.

Or pre-order right now below:

CK Status Report, May

Hey readers!It's been a busy month for Cardboard Keep, but we're finally in a position to knuckle down and spend our time working on our game again for a good long while. What's been happening this month?

New Website

If you're reading this you're already on it! We've finally gone live with our new website and we're very happy with it. It should read well on mobile devices and is much simpler to navigate than the old site, feel free to take a look around!

Gamma.con Attended

Last weekend CK attended Gamma.con, a pop culture expo right here in Canberra, and we were blown away by the attendance numbers and the overwhelmingly positive response we got from people who tried Warden. If you were there and tried our game, thanks! We estimate we had almost 200 people play Warden, and the feedback was extremely useful. We spent all of Monday discussing it and making our next plans based off these experiences.

Our latest work on the art and texturing style in Warden.

Kotaku Mention

One play we got at Gamma.con was gaming journalist Junglist, who gave us a mention on Kotaku, thanks Junglist! You can read his article here: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2014/05/the-games-of-gamma-con/

Warden is currently in closed pre-alpha with early access planned in the coming months.

Newsletter

Finally, we've started taking subscriptions for a monthly-or-so e-mail newsletter. If you'd like to have our delicious updates fed straight to your inbox, you can sign up here: http://eepurl.com/US01n

That's all for now, until next time! Calum
