Stretch Goal #9 - UNLOCKED

Welcome little Bluey, A hapless little blue heeler puppy, she is curled up a tattered backpack and and raises onto her hind legs when you arrive. How can you leave her here? Not with those big sad eyes you can't.

Blue is a new companion option for the solo plat mode of Drop Bears. She not only adds a bit of diversity to your game, but she's also adorable. Now you'll feel twice as bad each time she gets eaten by a drop bear.

Who knows where Bluey's owner is, but she’s our responsibility now and we can’t let such a cute little pup get eaten by one of those… those… there’s one behind me isn’t there?

What's Next? 

 One of the most essential compontents in any good modern day board game. The insert tray. We are still finalising a lot of the element for the tray but rest assured it'll be just as good if not better then the effort that went into the Ratcatcher one (which I think was amazing!) 

I haven't listed the expansion but it is likely this stretch goal will also allow the expansions to also have their own custom inserts. I'll keep you posted of this situation of course. 

That's right more stretch goals! 

Continuing on from our last bush track we now have another one... now I'm sure this is the right track. But I'm just checking the map to be 100% sure. 

 Don't Forget the New All-In bundles are now available : 

 ALL IN PLEDGE LEVELS

Now I know there is a few campers amongst our number who are keen to get there hands on everything without all that annoying clicking. Well do I have the solution for you mates!

Stretch Goal Unlock #7

Whoa, so many stretch goal unlocks and reveals in 24hrs. You are some dam-hard working campers! Ok so adding the "Neglected Q Station" Endeavour tiles. These old quarantine stations have long since fallen out of use. But there is always something eerie about an abandoned medical facility. It could be worth it to find some much-needed medical supplies.

Man if we keep going at this pace the stretch goals bundle is going to be a two person lift! 

SO WHAT'S NEXT? 

Oh, isn't she so cute!  Another compnaion option for solo play. A variety of abilities make the solo game a little more variable. 

 Is there more stretch goals? 

Yes, there are plenty more goodies to be had, so let's keep sharing the project so that we can all benefit.

So there we go folks, another fun filled update.

Stretch Goal Unlock #6 + ALL IN Pledges

A Radio is a handy survival tool no doubt. Now if only you could find some batteries to get the dam thing to work. A great source of survival points the campers will get repeated rewards out of this item.

So an updated loot cache - Wow look at all those goodies. I hope you're all packing something more impressive than a day pack to carry all of this?

---

What's next? 

Another location to explore and exploit. Just another creepy location in the dark bush.. Nothing scary about this one at all. 

Any guesses for the character stretch goal? What an odd silohette they cast?

Stretch Goal Unlock #6

Well, now you've done it. All that noise and carry on celebrating the stretch goals being unlocked now you've attracted another one of the monsters.

"Howler" is a Drop Bear renowned for its terrifying sound. Deep from within his chest, a beastly noise straight from the darkest nightmares echoes around the eucalypts. This haunting wakes the primordial fear in even the bravest camper. Hold your nerves campers, the Drop Bears will pick you off if you run.

Every copy of Drop Bears now comes with a FREE Howler Drop Bear miniature + Profile card.

 Look at all those yummy supplies going to waste. 

MORE STRETCH GOALS?

Yes, there is plenty more goodies for those campers willing to brave the darkness and beast of the bush. Next up are some new gear cards, new locations and another camper joining the adventure.

Something Ancient has awoken - Ancient Oonah.
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Jul 12, 2022 at 05:22:53 PM

Something ancient has awoken - Ancient Oonah.

The Ancient Oonah An ancient of its species and truly the last of its kind, the Oonah strives to stave off extinction. These Campers threaten the Oonah’s habitat, its instincts tell it that all intruders are a threat. With ancient cunning and poison spur, this creature must outwit and outlast the human intruders.

In this expansion for Drop Bears, Campers will have even more competition for survival. One player in the group will play as Ancient Oonah, the rest as Campers. Ancient Oonah must defeat the humans and survive, the Campers must now face the ancient threat in addition to the Drop Bears. 

“Oonah” (Oo-Na): 

With a giant iron jaw and razor-sharp teeth, this predatory Oonah is a deadly beast. Its size and aggressive nature are adverse to the behaviours of the modern-day platypus. This specimen bears the spur on his heels of each rear foot. Its spur secretes a venom usually used to cripple rival males. For humans, its effects are much more painful and often lethal.

 ---

During the extended period that Ancient Oonah lived it adapted and evolved to become an apex predator. Adaptation cards will continue to unlock further potential from this venerable beast.

The Campers have stumbled upon the ancient and forgotten lair of a creature thought lost to time. Surviving in isolation from the outside world the creature does not welcome intruders. 

Growing weaker by the moment, pain races through their muscles as their own circulatory system continues to pump the deadly toxin through their body. A poisoned Camper needs to find help quickly if they have any hope of survival.

New river multi-tiled terrain provides a natural habitat for the monster and adds a new natural threat to the Campers willing to brave the water environment. Waterways can be unpredictable at the best of times. But in the darkness, it only takes a loose rock or a slip and a Camper’s life can end.

ADD THIS RARE BEAST TO YOUR PLEDGE TODAY

So with this release, we enter the last week of the campaign - Where has the time gone!

Campaign update:

I'll be adding two all-in pledge options for a one-click solution. One will be for all game content only and the other will be the deluxe all-in, with EVERYTHING.

It's so much fun to finally share this beast with you. It's nice to unleash the prehistoric platypus that will take up the title of the Platypus Industries mascot. So expect to see more Oonah in the future, maybe not so toothy next time.

I really hope you all enjoying playing with this varied play style as much as I have had fun design and developing it. 

Regards
