Amberspire will have a physical manual!

It is most useful a reference document for all the buildings, and of course seeing all the lovely art printed on a page.

A screenshot of our upcoming game Amberspire, showing the top right corner of a city. Six resource dice have been rolled but not yet used. The city is doing well, with a small number of terrain tiles around the outside, but they and the buildings are not currently in each other's way.

Can't wait to get my hands on this and to talk to Nic all about it at the FรS Games Summit this April! Woohoo!

See all those buildings? @nictringali.bsky.social and I have written hundreds of ways they can collapse into the mausoleum beneath, leaving geographical reminders of your cityโ€™s history as well as impacting the political machinations of factions ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Which can be experienced on MAY 6โœจ

A screenshot from our upcoming game Amberspire. One of the factions, Dais, has arrived in the city. To the right is a portrait of one of their members. To the left, a description:

The city has drawn the attention of a new off-world faction...

Dais

Dais are a nomadic religious order in a fervent quest to maintain the corporeality of their god. Small cadres travel the galazy in search of artifacts, converts, and political assistance to maintain the inertia of their faith. It is rumoured that the Dais knights have supernatural abilities, but these are so rarely seen they cannot be resolved.

The Dais favor adds two dice storage spaces, and the penalty removes two dice storage spaces.

Build a city on the ruins of an outer space mausoleum, manage resources to construct and maintain buildings, and preserve balance with the local ecosystem.

Oh, and try not to get on the wrong side of the strange factions keeping tabs on you.

Amberspire is out on May 6th!

Thank you to the recent folks leaving positive reviews for The Banished Vault, it is very helpful. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't aggravated by the top two 'helpful' reviews being mixed in text and negatives in the algorithm. If you've played the game, leaving a positive review helps us a lot!

The Banished Vault is amazing and you should absolutely check it out.

It nails its atmosphere so perfectly. Going to replay it today, because who among us is not occasionally in the mood for desperate space monks running from death

Thomas Was Alone - A rectangle with a small inverted triangle above it to show it is the selected character.
Volume - The Volume mask, made up of several polygon fragments.
Subsurface Circular - Two triangles rotated to interlock. The top is white-filled and 'points' to the right. The bottom is hollow with a white outline and 'points' left.
Quarantine Circular - A silhouette of Gabriel's head, the alien who features in the game, within a circle that has four small, equidistant gaps in it and represents the helipad within which Gabriel is held.
The Solitaire Conspiracy - Three cards stacked on top of one another, the top card white-filled with the symbol for Mantis Group, one of the crews in the game, in the centre. The two cards behind it are white-outlined and black-filled.
The Banished Vault - A silhouette of one of The Banished Vault's smaller ships with a central porthole. Just behind it to the upper left, but slightly overlapped by the ship, is a planet outlined with white.

Below the line of icons is the Bithell logo.

Over the last six weeks, we've revisited our self-published game and the work that went into them. The new projects we're working on are only possible thanks to the support those past titles received. Thank you for playing. ๐Ÿงก

A screenshot from Lunar Division and Bithell Games' 'The Banished Vault' showing part of a 2D, tabletop-game-style map of a solar system. Three planets/moons are visible in this part of the map, with annotated lines showing the route a ship can take to reach them. There is a black-and-gold spaceship in the centre of the image, which is the only 3D model we can see here. On the left is the information for this ship: It is called Sword Sixy One, and has one navigator and one traveller. It has 7 fuel, 9 iron, and 4 titanium in its cargo hold. The engine, fuel consumption, energy, and thrust calculations are also listed as part of the ship's information panel.

The Energy Calculator tool is open, which players can use to work out how much fuel they need for a journey. There are four categories, each corresponding to a set of numbers: Engine Efficiency, Ship Mass, Fuel, and Energy. When the player increases or decreases one section, the rest also increase or decrease accordingly.

The Auriga Vault Exiles made it home to write the chronicles of their journey, thanks to you. We hope.

The Banished Vault was the first game from our Lunar Division label. Our next title, Amberspire, is in the works, but there's time for a bit more space monks appreciation first.
