The Dinosaurs are coming back only to face extinction again at the table! We are soooo excited to bring Dino Dodge to your homes and it makes it all so sweet considering how far we've come together.
As some may know, this was our second attempt at bringing Dino Dodge to life. For well over 2 years we have been working on this game and launch. I don't want to get too sappy but there is true magic to be felt when you bring your dreams to life and when other people believe in you. We are feeling that magic now.
Thank you to each and everyone of you, including your friends and family, for believing in this project. We can't wait to embark on the next step of the journey with you and Dino Dodge.
What's Next?
In about 2-3 weeks will send out an update highlighting the next steps for surveys, pledge managers and timelines in detail. Β We know several of you are new to the crowdfunding experience, so we will be as thorough as possible and simplify the process to make this a great experience while getting the information we need for your order.Β
Here's what to expect:
1) The Pledge Manager will open in the 1st half of June for Backers only
A Pledge Manager is a software tool we will use to allow you to manage your pledge, update and pay for shipping, and include any add-ons to your order. We will be using Backerkit as the Pledge Manager. You will receive a link from Backerkit once the Pledge Manager opens.
2) We are slated to deliver the game by January 2023
Β We had confirmed with our manufacture if there were any delays surrounding the news we have been hearing about more lockdowns in China, and they assured us they were not impacted. However, we will continue to gauge the information we receive and send updates on this timeline along the way.
3) We are your team - ask us anything we may answer
This journey is continuing together. We are here for you and happy to answer any questions. Please feel free to leave a comment or direct message us so we may assist!
POLL #2 - The results are in!
Jungle background was the winner for this poll! The Role Cards will look closely like the version above!
NEW DINOSAUR INCOMING!
We astoundingly hit our goal to resurrect Dilophosaurus just in the nick of time! Now, every pledge of Dino Dodge will receive this Limited Edition playable dinosaur. For Deluxe and Collectors pledges, this means you will get the Dilophosaurus in a silkscreen printed wooden meeple and the Collectors backers will get another Dinosaur holographic role card to custom name.
THANK YOU!
For now, please enjoy and celebrate with us! Michael, Linh and I are going to turn every meme we had over the last 2 years into a reality as we promised we would if we funded - If you don't hear back from me, then its Linh's fault :D
Β Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in us and Dino Dodge :)
Sincerely,
Arrio and Blue Gear Games
NEW UNLOCKABLE DINOSAUR - Dilophosaurus, Last 2 Days & Project We Love!

LET'S UNLOCK A NEW DINOSAUR!
We are just about 2 days left with the campaign and have an exciting new update. Before the campaign, we had a community design vote for a potential new playable Dinosaur - Dilophosaurus.
If we can raise an addition $4k by the end of the campaign, we're adding this new Dinosaur to every Pledge!
WHAT A SUPRISE!
We received an email from Kickstarter this morning stating that Dino Dodge: Survival of the Fittest is now an official Project We Love on Kickstarter! This is so awesome everyone! Kickstarter does this to highlight examples of creativity and the truth is we could not have gotten this without everyone's support.
Thank you and feel free to spread the news! Hopefully this exposes new individuals to our game and helps us reach the new Dinosaur :)
T-Minus 55 Hours until this meteor (campaign) impacts!

UNLOCKS
Alright, we just unlocked a new component, Instinct Tokens: Free Bird
This component will be specifically for the Prehistoric Pals add-on. Everyone will receive a Free Bird Instinct Token at the start of the game and be able to trade it in to call in the Pterodactyl - even if they are under a boom!
THE LOST LULLABIES
For Dino Dodge, I decided to write tracks while developing the game, working on the theme and with my friends. "The Lost Lullabies" is the title of the collection of acoustic songs that serve as a record for what it was like to make this game and work on it with my friends day and day out. The first track "Under The Stars" is on the campaign page to listen. Here is the second track, "Secrets of Pangea" - a mysterious and ominous tune about what was lost with time.
Hope you enjoy :)
EVENTS
Here is us demoing at Three Suns from last weekend. It was great to see our old friends and make some new ones!
Our next event will be an interview with James from Board Game Binge. James does some great interviewing with individuals within the gaming industry and I am really excited to be on his channel.
You can see the past interviews from last week with CameronPlusDeanna and Wesley Edwards Art here!
