Akumi's putting together a crew of misfit bounty hunters. Want in? A story-driven turn-based RPG video game for Steam (PC & Mac)
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
To the Bounty Hunter whom this concerns:
It is I, Rhoncha, Supreme Warlock of the Hex Realm. I am gracing your screen with a glorious update on your steam codes, cross-game rewards, and BackerKit digital rewards.
It has come to my attention that an Akumi Wars steam code has been generated for each of you. My guards have them under vigilant watch as my worker minions complete building the BackerKit. It pains me how slow they are moving. Fear not, our "morale enforcers'' are motivating them to finish faster. Once complete, you will receive a code you can activate on Steam. There, you will join Miltonious as he builds each zone out. One at a time. First zone is ready, 5 more to create and flesh out my empire!
We have "enlisted" the help of the Hex Realm's greatest coder, Tulio. He has moved into his comfortable new cell and is making a new version of the game that will allow you to keep your saves in between each version. (Well, he’ll do his best. This can be a tricky spell to cast as we make changes to the game. Saves will carry over unless the data format changes.)
Meanwhile, Miltonius has finished drawing your insufferable pile of cross-game rewards. He made far too many. You should have seen the look on other game's devs when they saw just how many he made! I only wish I could bottle such horror. It will take them an extra week just to get them all in.
Once my minions have completed preparing the codes and survey questions, BackerKit will go live. Then, you shall claim your delectable digital rewards. If you are a Kickstarter Backer and want to increase your pledge to a higher tier, you will be able to do so on Backerkit. This will also count towards unlocking that final stretch goal. So there’s still hope… for now.
All will bow to the Supreme Warlock and Ruler of the Hex Realms… Me!
Sincerely,
Rhoncha
Hello all!
Thanks again for supporting the Akumi Wars video game.
I'm getting your first batch of digital rewards ready. This includes early access codes for Akumi Wars on steam and also your cross-game rewards.
We're setting up a service called BackerKit to deliver your rewards. BackerKit will allow you to get your Akumi Wars codes and download your digital files at any time. It'll also notify you every time more of your rewards become available. This should be ready within the next two weeks.
After BackerKit is set up and you get your survey, you will be able to play the newest build of Akumi Wars on Steam. If you have not already joined our Akumi Wars Discord server, come join us. It is the best place to hang out with us and help test the game.
Custom Bounty Hunter backers! I'll be reaching out to you after the surveys are sent to start working with you on your skins.
Meanwhile, I've been working on finishing the cross-game rewards. In addition to the promised rewards, I am adding a few more variants. That is five different armors. There are male and female versions of each. Also there are also a ton of accessories, weapons, and hairstyles. Some of them will be color customizable. It will take three more days to finish the remaining pieces.
Onwards and Upwards!

Thank you so much. It means everything to me that you believe in my project. I'm putting my heart and soul into this game. We're going to take it to the finish line with quality.
Not only was Akumi Wars funded, but you and our other backers unlocked a ton of stretch goals.
Stretch goals for Akumi Wars include exclusive codes that will unlock cross-game rewards in another video game. See the full stretch goal details and progress here.
To be honest, this Kickstarter has kicked my butt... I’m not a natural marketing guy or business man, I’m an independent artist. So I want to say thanks to all my friends who helped me through this. Now I'm relieved and excited to get back to focusing on creating art and animation for the game full time.
Next step, Kickstarter will collect the funds while I prepare the survey which will be used to send you early access codes for steam and other rewards. I have 11 custom skins to make, streams to plan, a new player character to build, cross-game rewards to set up, and then we will build and test each of the remaining maps of the Hex Reams together.
Thanks for allowing me to fully dedicate myself to this project. I feel like we’re hitting the next evolution of Akumi with this game.
Onwards and Upwards!

We’re almost there! The Akumi Wars Kickstarter is just hours away from the finish line. Wanted to send you one last reminder before the campaign ends.
Backers unlocked a new stretch goal last night. Check it out on the official Kickstarter page.
