Hi everyone! Mark Sheppard (GR00V3R) here. I'm one third of Membraine Studios. Some of you may remember when we ran an Indiegogo campaign in June-July 2012 for Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire. While we were ultimately unsuccessful in that campaign, we are today proud to announce that Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire has reached Alpha -- and you can play pre-order and play the game right now for just US$10. That's more than 66% off the final release price of US$30!

We've had a lot of feedback so far from our Pre-Alpha and Alpha builds, which our Indiegogo backers have been enjoying -- and it's been very positive so far.

Why should I pre-order?

Here's a few reasons why we think you should pre-order:

1. You're going to love Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire when it's finished and offers the full tabletop experience to your computer, from list building through to deployment and challenging your friends. But it's already an awesome PC turn-based strategy game, and it's only going to get better over time.
2. You'll save US$20! Fractured Empire will be US$30 upon final release, but you get to feel super-smart for getting in early and saving more than 66%!
3. You get to play the game NOW! Even though it's only at Alpha stage of development, people are already loving the gameplay. And we've been updating it multiple times a week with new features and fixes!
4. Your feedback will shape the game! We've already, after just two weeks of Alpha development, made many changes suggested by the community. As a small, skilled and agile team, we can respond to feedback and will work to continually improve the game -- especially at this early stage.
5. You will be directly funding development of Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire. Pre-orders will help us complete the game more quickly -- all revenue generated goes directly into Fractured Empire so we can make it the very best it can be!
6. You get access to new features and content as soon as it is developed! Features like deployment, army list building and online multi-player are on our development road map, and you'll be among the very first to experience them!

We hope you'll help us realise Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire's full potential by pre-ordering from FracturedEmpire.net and participating in the Alpha today, and we very much hope you'll tell your wargaming friends about us!

From all of us at Membraine Studios, we wish you a very happy holiday season. Thanks for reading.

Thanks, @CyberShadow! And hi again, everyone!

Thought I'd mention that Fractured Empire's FAQ page includes a 7-minute video demonstrating the gameplay (it's a little out of date now, being pre-Alpha, but it will give you a good idea of how the game plays).

If you'd like to see some in-game screenshots, you'll find these on the Media > Screenshots page.

Thanks for your interest! Hope to get your support and see you playing the game in the near future!
