Latest Updates from Our Project:
Spirit Island now available in Early Access!
about 4 years ago
– Fri, Apr 17, 2020 at 07:32:49 AM
Our latest digital tabletop game has just entered early access, and you can grab it for 15% off during launch week!
Spirit Island is a deep strategy cooperative game. Players take on the roles of the spirits of the island, and need to work together to build their powers. Protect the land and the native islanders, the Dahan, from the colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction!
Spirit Island is under active development and will be updated regularly. You can think of it as a step between Beta and Retail release. There will be bugs, and some content is currently not available, but the game is much further along than what you might see in a Public Beta (See Steam's Early Access FAQ for more). The current version allows you to play full games with 1-4 Spirits. Most of the content of the core game of Spirit Island is implemented and playable: all Spirits, Power cards, Scenarios, and 2 Adversaries. Your feedback during Early Access can help us make the game the best it can be. Check it out now.
The Nameless
If you missed the last update, we announced that we're working on the first expansion for Aeon's End - The Nameless! Stay tuned for more updates and previews as development progresses.
What’s in a Name(less)?

Greetings breach mages! It has been a while since we last checked in with you, but we’re sure the world is pretty much like it was back in November, right?
Wash those hands!
Several of you have asked about more content for the game, and we’ve been quiet because we didn’t have anything definitive to share - until now. We are pleased to announce that we are beginning work on The Nameless - the first expansion for Aeon’s End!
The Nameless includes:
Nemesis: Blight Lord
The humble Jade is one of your most trusted gems. What happens when a nemesis turns it against you? The terrible Blight Lord seeds your deck with Tainted Jade, which are both blessing and curse. The more tainted your deck becomes, the harder it will be to repel this nemesis.
Nemesis: Wayward One
The Wayward One brings the concept of position into Aeon’s End. This nemesis and its minions move to different positions, and if your spells are not aligned at the right time, they'll be more fizzle than fireball. Your strategic abilities will be put to the test!
Mage: Malastar - Breach Mage Mentor
Malastar’s unique starter is Immolate, which grants charges if you take damage with this spell prepped. And that’s good news, because his charge ability requires 6 charges, more than any other breach mage currently in the game. His charge ability is Gift of Aether which not only lets you gain a spell from any pile, but you can also prep it into any mage's open breach!
Market
Seven new player cards give you more options for the market, including:
Leeching Agate (Gem): When you gain this, gain a charge. Gain 2 Aether.
Temporal Helix (Relic): Cast any player’s prepped spell without discarding it
Scrying Bolt (Spell): Cast: Deal 5 damage. You may lose 1 charge. If you do, reveal the top three cards of the Nemesis deck. Return them in any order.
We don’t have a release timeline to share with you yet, but we’ll post more once we’re further along in development.
Playing Games While Social Distancing
Aeon's End doesn't yet have built-in online multiplayer, but you can still play it online with friends using third-party tools! For example:
Parsec is a game streaming service for playing games together with friends.
Discord is not only a great place to chat about our games, but also a way to play together using screen sharing & voice chat. Join our Discord server!
Skype, Zoom, Google Hangouts, and many other systems can be used as well. Know about a great service? Mention it below in the comments!
Since the coronavirus is making life difficult for (checks notes) EVERYONE, we're giving away our baseball game, Bottom of the 9th, for free! In addition, we are running discounts on the rest of our games, including Aeon’s End, through Sunday! You can read about it all here, and please stay safe and healthy!
Crossovers Now Available - Spirit Island Final Hours!
over 4 years ago
– Thu, Nov 14, 2019 at 11:29:15 PM
The updates for One Deck Dungeon and Aeon's End are now available, bringing the new crossover content to both games. Download version 1.4.3 of One Deck Dungeon to take Mist through the dungeons, and then grab version 1.1 of Aeon's End to team up with Xae, and try out the new digital promos!
Steam Remote Play Together
Recently, Steam rolled out a new feature called "Remote Play Together" which allows players to host a local game, and invite their friends to play with them via Steam. If you are a fan of Aeon's End who wants to play online, we'd love to know if you've tried this feature and if so, what your impressions of it are. Contact us here.
Spirit Island
The campaign for Spirit island was extended 1 week to give us some time to reach for some stretch goals, the first of which has already been unlocked! Head over to the campaign before midnight on Friday to back the campaign and help unlock even more!
Into the Breach - Crossover Coming On Tuesday!

"How do you prepare yourself to visit another world? Will my potions and salves seem primitive in comparison? Will those on the other side be amenable to my task? The questions spiral endlessly as magic courses nervously through my veins. The portal feels cold, swirling with energies that are unknown to this world. My staff grounds me, every nick and notch a memory of Goblins slain, Ogres left to waste, and that one mishap with Remi's poorly aimed dagger. I feel a smile creep to my lips as I approach the other side. I am the Captain of the Mage's Faction. I will do what is necessary to help Mynerva. I am Xae of The Guild." - Xae
"Gravehold, my home, cannot fall. I won’t let it. Somewhere, the source of the Nameless, humanity's greatest threat, must exist. Some world, some place that they call home. I can feel our time running out. For now, we survive, but can do little more. We cannot last like this forever. I will find a new weapon, allies... an edge must exist out there. So, each day, I channel a breach to a new far away place. Once, I nearly froze as soon as I stepped through. Another time, my clothes were aflame as I leapt from rock to rock in an endless lava flow. Always, I search for some sign of where they come from or others like us who can help. Today, this new world seems familiar. Despair hangs heavy in the hunched postures of its people. This is a place accustomed to tragedy. Perhaps I can exchange secrets with the warriors of this place. An unfriendly passerby points me toward a massive marble tower with a single utterance, “The Guild.” When I turn back to ask another question, he’s already lost in the throng of people. I suppose “The Guild” must protect these people from the omnipresent gloom. Seems like they could use some help. I will prove my worth and then they will aid me. They must, for Gravehold depends on it." - Mist
We are thrilled to announce that both prongs of the most epic crossover event in digital tabletop history will be launching this coming Tuesday, November 12th!
One Deck Dungeon:
On Tuesday, an update to One Deck Dungeon will bring playable character Mist to all copies of the game. Once you update, you should see Mist in the list of selectable party members. Mist brings her own brand of magic to bear on all the horrible baddies one encounters when dungeoneering!
Aeon's End:
Also on Tuesday, Promo Pack 1 will become available to all copies of Aeon's End. This pack is a DLC, so you will have to download it separately. On Steam, this will be a free DLC, on mobile, you'll be able to buy it for $1.99 (USD) via the in app store.
Promo Pack 1 includes:
Xae - playable mage crossing over from One Deck Dungeon, with unique starter card (Flight)
3 player cards - a gem (Glass Core), a relic (Staff of Wonders), and a spell (Lava Bolt), each with brand new mechanics
3 basic nemesis cards - Decimate, Baneful Crux, and Unmake
Thank you for all your support on this campaign, we can't wait for you to try out the new content next week!
Spirit Island Nearly Over The Finish Line!
As of this writing, the campaign to fund our next project was at 96% funded. Your pledge could be the one that pushes us into stretch goal territory! Check out the campaign now and help save the island from the invaders!
Xae Streams Posted, Mist Streams This Week!

If you couldn't join Jeremy last week for his playtesting streams, those streams are now posted to our YouTube channel! Get a first (and second) look at Xae - the new mage coming to Aeon's End from One Deck Dungeon. Jeremy also covers the new promo cards coming in Promo-Pack 1, and you even get to see how we submit bugs!
As you know, Xae is just one half of the most ambitious crossover event in digital tabletop gaming! This week, we'll be showing you Mist in One Deck Dungeon on several streams. Tonight at 7 Eastern, join John and Jeremy on Handelabra Live where they will be playing both One Deck Dungeon and Aeon's End. Then later in the week, Jeremy will do more playtesting as we prep these big updates to both games.
We’re now over 75% funded, but that still leaves nearly $10k we need to raise in the next 11 days. At the current pace, that breaks down to just another 300 pledges. Will you be one of those pledges? If you are unfamiliar with the game, why not let the designer himself tell you all about it! Eric joined John on the dev stream last week to talk about his inspirations, and take questions from the chat:
There will be more dev streams coming over these last 2 weeks of the campaign, and this week's is Music with Jean-Marc! Tune-in to Twitch tomorrow at 1 PM Eastern to watch Jean-Marc make beautiful music - then back the campaign!
