Latest Updates from Our Project:

150 Backers Reached! New Stretch Goals Revealed!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 09:51:05 PM

Over 150 backers. Over 90% funded. Two weeks to go. The campaign for Sovereign Tea has almost reached its funding goal! As discussed on our social media, we'd like to unveil the newest stretch goals for our campaign!

New Stretch Goal: Expansion Pack

At $17,000, we will create a post-launch expansion pack for the game. This update will introduce a new team to the mix: Soda! This pack will contain six new levels, featuring three entirely new playable Tea Princesses, alongside new music tracks crafted specifically for the scenario. The events of the expansion pack storyline will take place parallel to those in the base game, too.

Be sure to follow us on social media, on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord. Thank you!

75% Funding Reached!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Oct 14, 2020 at 06:05:42 PM

20 days to go for the campaign and we're already over 75% funded! We are so excited to talk about Sovereign Tea with you and share all of what we've been up to since our last update. We also want to share some behind-the-scenes views and insights on the game's development.

Progress Over Months

In the above video, we showcase how the game looked in its prototype stage back in November 2019. We compare it against how the game looks today in the beta build that will be rolled out to backers after the campaign concludes. As you can see and hear, a very large number of improvements have been made, but the overall goals for how the game should play were always the same from the beginning.

Beta Updates

Our pool of testers have gotten back to us with feedback on the beta. We're happy to say that we've started acting upon this feedback to patch and improve the game. The end goal here has always been the same: to deliver to the player as polished an experience as we can. The beta will be available for download to backers of the game when the campaign ends. Thank you for your patience!

Designing Future Content

Since the launch of the campaign, our designers have been pushing the game forward towards completion. Believing wholeheartedly that we will reach our funding goal soon, we've been working on the next levels and units for the title. We don't want to spoil too much about what the post-beta final game content will contain, but let's drop a few hints:

  • Stealth missions deep within Coffee Empire territory
  • Tea Minions that can temporarily pretend to be Coffee Minions
  • Units you can brew that for some reason have bunny ears?!

These concepts are already reaching a prototype phase in the game. While this content won't be playable until the game fully launches next year, we want to move forward through our tasks as quickly as we can. After all, the sooner we can iterate on our game design, the better the game will be.

Be sure to follow us on social media, on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord. Thank you!

100 Backers Reached! New Coffee Regent Unveiled!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Oct 12, 2020 at 10:46:43 PM

We've reached a significant milestone: 100 backers! We continue to be both amazed by and grateful for the support Sovereign Tea has gotten. As we promised before, we are going to now reveal a new Coffee Regent that has never been seen before!

Coffee Regents

Café au Lait & Yuenyeung

Previously we had shown off Café au Lait as one of the principal Coffee Regents of the Coffee Empire. Today, we're excited to introduce a new Coffee Regent: Yuenyeung! Let's get to meeting them.

Café au Lait is perhaps the most powerful Coffee Regent, second-in-command to the Coffee Emperor. She has a long storied history of successful war campaigns against the Tea Realms. Throughout her numerous campaigns, she has only ever lost a battle to one Tea Princess: Earl Grey.

Yuenyeung is a calm lady with an odd affinity for both tea and coffee. In spite of this, she was promoted to the rank of Coffee Regent thanks to the direct recommendation of the Coffee Emperor. Grateful for the unexpected recognition, she has pledged her full undivided loyalty to the Coffee Empire.

Be sure to follow us on social media, on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord. We're closing in towards 100% thanks to your contributions. Expect more exciting updates soon!

60% Funding Reached!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Oct 08, 2020 at 12:33:14 AM

Can you believe we're already 60% funded? With nearly 100 backers already? The rate at which this project has gained traction is mind-blowing for us. We have no doubts that Sovereign Tea will reach its funding goal so long as we continue posting on social media and reaching out to others. Importantly, while we are not against the idea necessarily, we have not spent a penny on advertisements for the campaign. We wanted to share this tidbit, as we feel is reflects very positively on the strength of the project and the appeal of the game's concept.

100 Backers Soon

The campaign will soon reach 100 backers. It may even reach it within the next 24 hours. We previously promised on social media and in our last update to reveal the design and identity of a new Coffee Regent once that milestone is met. We're on track for that announcement and look forward to showing more of the game!

Patching the Beta

As stated previously, we have released the beta of Sovereign Tea to those who supported the project from a long, long while ago. Our goal with this is to have them go through the ropes of playtesting the build prior to us releasing it to backers. We are almost done aggregating player feedback. Our plan is to patch this beta, taking their feedback and suggestions into consideration. That way, when the backer rewards start going out, you'll be able to experience the beta in as polished a state as can be.

Be sure to follow us on social media, on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord. We're closing in towards 100% thanks to your contributions. Stay awesome!

Day 2 Summary: 50% Funded!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 06, 2020 at 10:19:16 PM

Your contributions and belief in the project has led us to an amazing milestone. Sovereign Tea is now over 50% funded! I know it's been said a lot, but we really want to thank all of you amazing people for bringing us to this point. This game project has been a dream to work on, and we're beyond thrilled that people are excited for the vision we put forth! In order to reach 100%, we are now ready to unveil our immediate next goals for the campaign.

More Streaming

Remember in our last update how we mentioned the fact that the beta build of the game is done? We meant that. Recently, our Gameplay Director, Andrew deBronkart, has taken to Twitch to stream the beta of the game to a newer, wider audience. During his recent travails, he stumbled upon a truly magnificent strategy, one we've shared above. He's going to continue streaming some of the beta for the next few days. If you wanted to watch, you can do so at twitch.tv/GameMosquito.

New Backer Incentives

Our next social media posts are going to highlight one of the new backer incentives we have planned. After we reach 100 separate backers, we're going to reveal the design of a new Coffee Regent, one that hasn't been shown in any capacity up until now. In our goal to get 100 individual backers, we don't distinguish between those pledging $20 and those pledging $2. It's our hope that in publicizing this incentive, we can convince previous backers, those already interested in the project, to reach out to their friends who have yet to back. We're already not too far away from reaching 100, so we don't expect this will be a difficult one to fulfill!

More Top-Tier Rewards

Multiple people have reached out to us wondering if it's too late to pledge to the $300 tier where you can design your own Tea Minion or Coffee Empire. After some internal discussion, we have decided that we will open the doors for this particular reward, increasing the limited quantity from 3 to 5. We will also increase the quantity of the $150 tier for commissions from 5 to 8. This will happen approximately 5:30PM PDT on October 6. While we can't provide an infinite number of these types of rewards, as they take away dev time for the core game, we are pleased to hear just how enticing they are to our fans!

Be sure to follow us on social media, on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord. Thank you for backing Sovereign Tea! We look forward to speaking more with you.
