Mesdames et Messieurs,

As of this writing, Ambition: A Minuet in Power is 102% funded, with 24 hours left to go in the campaign.  

The end is approaching...

It's been a long road on this campaign, and 988 of you have joined us to help make this game a reality. And while we know it sounds like a silly thing to push for, we really want to make it to 1,000 backers!

Can you share our campaign on your social media feed, or a forum you frequent, or show a friend for this last push? We're still pushing as hard as we can, finding new people to tell about this game, so we can ensure that Ambition is as funded as possible. After all, the bigger and better we make the game, the more worthwhile your backing will be!

Thanks for checking out our update, and have an amazing day!

All the best,

- Luther

Campaign Update: 48 Hours Left!
over 6 years ago – Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 03:08:04 PM

Mesdames et Messieurs,

As of this writing, Ambition: A Minuet in Power is 101% funded, with 48 hours left to go in the campaign. 

We feel like royalty, and we hope you do too!

It's been hours since we reached our funding goal and I still can't really believe it. This game is getting made, and we're bringing this romantic video game revolution to you, and the world!

Stretch Goals

With 48 hours to go, our next stretch goal, at $80,000, to hire an additional artist, may seem far off, but that doesn't mean we aren't going to try! We're still pushing along to make sure Ambition is as funded as possible, so we can make the game bigger and better.

Thanks for checking out our update, and have a fantastic day!

All the best,

75% Funded and Other Status Updates
over 6 years ago – Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 11:10:36 AM

Mesdames et Messieurs,  

Thank you for joining us, in yet another lovely campaign update. Shall we begin?

Funding Progress: 75%

As of this writing, we're over 75% funded, with over 7 days to go. Due to your tireless efforts, we're now three quarters of the way to being able to bring Ambition: A Minuet in Power to the world. 

The Reddit AMA

Luther, our Game Designer, had an extremely successful Reddit AMA on Friday. There, he talked a little bit about Ambition, as well as his experiences as a game designer in free-to-play games, designing loot boxes. We laughed, we cried, no permanent injuries were sustained. 

Also, Luther got asked to design the lootbox from hell, in order to protect his soul. This was his response.

The Thunderclap Campaign

There are two days left in our Thunderclap campaign, before the promotion for the last, big push of the Ambition: A Minuet in Power Kickstarter campaign goes out. If you're looking for an easy, free way for you, or your friends to support Ambition, this is it! Please consider signing up for the Thunderclap campaign in the link below.

Join the Thunderclap Campaign here.

Cross Promotion: For the King!

Here at the Joy Manufacturing Co, we're still firm believers in supporting our fellow indie developers. To that end, we'd like to draw your attention to the latest creation by our good friends at Iron Oak Games. It's called 'For the King'.

For the King is a strategic RPG, blending tabletop and roguelike elements. It allows for both singleplayer and cooperative play, as you (and maybe your friends) travel the realm in search of adventure, and to avenge your fallen king. It also includes:

• Turn based combat
• Procedurally generated maps, quests and events
• Single player, local, and online multiplayer modes (couch co-op!)
• A unique slot system for attacks and special abilities
• Extremely charming art

If any of this sound great to you, check them out on Steam Early Access!

Thanks for checking out our update, and have a great day!

All the best,
