$50K STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED: SHINY SHELF MODE ENGAGED ⚓
about 1 year ago – Sat, Jun 28, 2025 at 08:01:15 PM

4th Stretch goal UNLOCKED!

We're gilding the Red Tides box with gold foil and spot UV so it gleams like cursed treasure on your shelf.

When guests walk by, they won’t ask “What’s that game?" they’ll ask “Where did you get that relic?!”

It’s gonna shimmer. It’s gonna shine. It’s gonna whisper, “Take to the sea...”

Thanks for helping us hoist this upgrade aboard!

Stretch Goal 3 UNLOCKED!

 $40,000 Reached - Superior Organization Unlocked

Red Tides is overflowing with glorious plunder...so it's time to tame the chaos.

We’re adding a CUSTOM PLASTIC ORGANIZER to every copy of the game!

This isn’t just a tray, it is a piece (or 2) of hardened diatomaceous viscera, hewn by the Forgesmiths to contain the chaos of reality. 

Every card, every die, every token will have its place. No more digging through a sea of components!

Let’s keep sailing strong. Onward to the next goal!

NEXT UP: $50,000 - SHINY SHELF

As you walk by, the light reflects off a majestic box. Gold steals the hearts of every person whose eye catches the glint.

$30,000 crossed. Let’s get weird.

The diversity in the Great Houses is immense! You've officially unlocked 4 SUB-FACTIONS so you can explore another side of your favorite House from the core game! These give you even more ways to personalize your playstyle, starting ship, and Fortune abilities.



Each core house just got deeper, and every game just got more you

Thank you for sailing this far with us — onward to the next horizon!

 BTW, Has anyone found the little ship sailing on the map yet? It's making progress!

WE DID IT! Red Tides funded in 118 minutes + 1st Stretch Goal! ⚓️🔥
about 1 year ago – Tue, Jun 24, 2025 at 02:40:32 PM

We crossed our funding goal in 118 minutes, and we are beyond grateful to every single one of you. From the bottom of our pirate hearts: thank you for believing in Red Tides: A Tale of New Caribbea.

Your support means this game is setting sail for real and this is just the beginning. 

The first wave has crashed and you brought it home. We passed $20,000 and unlocked Stretch Goal 1: Cannons of Legend!



These legendary cannons aren’t just firepower, they’re stories forged in battle, each with a name and history. Now every player will get to wield one of these beautifully illustrated cannons on their deck. Every shot fired tells a tale.

Y'all just made this game POP even more! Wait till you hear about how Arsham's Prototype got John Davies out of his toughest pickle during the 100 Days of Flight!

 We have more stretch goals ahead (next is less than $4k away!), new reveals to share, and community events on the horizon.
