WEBVTT -- English

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:20.940
Hello Kickstarter.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.943
My name's Alex and I'm the founder of Sensible Object.

00:00:26.117 --> 00:00:28.596
We’re a new kind of independent game company.

00:00:28.681 --> 00:00:31.259
We make games in both hardware and software,

00:00:31.571 --> 00:00:34.625
combining the best of tabletop and digital play.

00:00:35.405 --> 00:00:39.137
After a year of development, hundreds of playtests and prototypes,

00:00:39.139 --> 00:00:42.012
and a lot of time spent watching things fall-over,

00:00:42.012 --> 00:00:44.484
we’re ready to share our first game with you!

00:00:44.485 --> 00:00:46.722
It’s called Fabulous Beasts.

00:00:47.081 --> 00:00:49.081
Here’s what you get:

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.140
A load of these curious artefacts,

00:00:51.289 --> 00:00:53.289
this electronic sensing platform

00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:55.670
and this tablet app.

00:00:56.789 --> 00:01:00.570
The artefacts connect to the platform which connects to the tablet.

00:01:00.612 --> 00:01:02.917
Together that makes the game!

00:01:03.728 --> 00:01:07.320
1-5 players take turns to choose a magical artefact

00:01:07.322 --> 00:01:09.490
to add to the balancing tower.

00:01:09.769 --> 00:01:11.957
Every piece you add either creates,

00:01:13.283 --> 00:01:15.283
enhances,

00:01:15.557 --> 00:01:17.995
or evolves the Fabulous Beasts

00:01:17.996 --> 00:01:20.609
which live in the connected digital realm.

00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.968
Your goal is to construct the biggest tower

00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:27.382
and conjur-up the most thriving fabulous world.

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.379
In order to beat your high-score and find the hundreds of beasts

00:01:31.381 --> 00:01:33.381
waiting to be discovered

00:01:33.382 --> 00:01:35.936
you’ll have to master the physical and digital

00:01:35.936 --> 00:01:37.936
properties of the artefacts.

00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:41.290
Choose your moves wisely to sustain your creations

00:01:41.478 --> 00:01:43.879
or else risk their extinction.

00:01:46.128 --> 00:01:49.760
You’ll need a combination of dexterity, strategy

00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.042
and cooperation to succeed.

00:01:52.754 --> 00:01:54.754
So why are we on Kickstarter?

00:01:54.756 --> 00:01:57.614
Well, our prototype won the Indicade technology award

00:01:57.614 --> 00:01:59.614
and the technology inside the prototype

00:01:59.615 --> 00:02:02.051
allows us to do some really cool things with gameplay.

00:02:02.052 --> 00:02:04.400
That’s really only possible with a connected game like ours.

00:02:04.724 --> 00:02:06.885
But a great prototype is really just the start,

00:02:06.887 --> 00:02:09.751
so we’ve been working with our partners Hardware Club in the UK

00:02:09.752 --> 00:02:11.877
and JDH Sourcing over in China

00:02:11.890 --> 00:02:14.614
to get the game ready for manufacture and shipping.

00:02:15.064 --> 00:02:18.289
Your support will help us complete our first production run.

00:02:18.502 --> 00:02:20.502
But more importantly, we want your input

00:02:20.502 --> 00:02:22.502
to shape the future of the game

00:02:22.503 --> 00:02:24.503
and we really need your help

00:02:24.504 --> 00:02:26.504
telling all your friends about Fabulous Beasts.

00:02:26.506 --> 00:02:28.506
Thanks for watching!
