The last batch of Saber Tag Kickstarter photos came out looking fantastic! ✨

The final piece of the Kickstarter media puzzle will be a demo ‘tournament’, sometime in September.

We’re excited to see how it plays out, so stay tuned!

A quick update on Saber Tag’s progress towards its Kickstarter Launch. Several opportunities for more exposure and additional filmography have recently presented themselves.

In order to better capture and demonstrate the excitement and fun of Saber Tag, the decision has been made to push back the official Kickstarter launch until later this summer.

Updates will still be coming via the Kickstarter, social media, etc. while the product development and the marketing materials are worked on and refined. Thank you all for being a part of Saber Tag.

Here’s the final custom Saber Tag redesign, the Medieval Fantasy Saber 🗡️🗡️🗡️

Simple but iconic, and worthy of a few more tweaks before production, to make you feel like the Monarch you are 👑

More photos of the new equipment in action are coming soon, and then footage of Saber Tag in action! Stay tuned!

Here’s a look at the second redesign of the custom Saber Tag housing, the Video Game Fantasy Saber 🗡️🗡️🗡️

I’m still a huge fan of the color scheme, the gold makes the purple really pop, and both give it that regal feel 👑

The last redesign is hot off the printer, and we’re getting some new professional photos of the new designs for the Sabers and Armor.

Look forward to seeing those soon on the Kickstarter!

It’s official: The Saber Tag Pre-Launch page is now LIVE! ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Check it out now, and sign up to be notified the moment the campaign goes live.

Thanks so much for all the support and interest these past few months.

Share this if you can, and look forward to the official campaign launch soon!

Here’s a look at the first slimmed down custom housing for Saber Tag, the Sci-Fi theme. The futuristic style really pops with the illuminated blade.

Be sure to share this with anyone who might crave a realistic light saber battle.

I’m very excited to see it and the other customs in action soon, and to share that footage, so stay tuned these next weeks!

Here’s a sneak peek at the custom HP Indicators planned for the higher Saber Tag reward tiers! ⚔️⚔️⚔️

While we’re trying to keep the profiles for these devices to be as slim as possible, it’s been fun to experiment with different shapes and details, pushing the boundaries slightly while still staying compact.

I hope each design here is evocative and inspirational, and any suggested refinements are greatly encouraged before these designs get finalized.

Be on the lookout for the slimmer Saber redesigns, too!

Saber Tag’s newest prototype Saber is now in working order! ⚔️⚔️⚔️

After some collective feedback and insight, a new battery has been picked that will be housed in the hilt, which means the guard is a lot slimmer and trimmer.

We’re very excited to start field testing these soon, the lighter weight feels great to swing around and it should make the game play both safer and snappier.

And I’m personally excited to adapt the models of the custom styles to this new design, I can’t wait to see how they look.

Stay tuned for updates on these and more!

We had a blast showcasing and demo-ing Saber Tag at our friend reunion this weekend. ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Some new Armor designs with increased hit boxes were field tested, which worked out very well in play testing.

These changes, plus a new, lighter, and sleeker Saber redesign (!!!), are based off of tester feedback, and both design prototypes will be featured in the Kickstarter when it launches soon!

Here’s a look at some of Saber Tag’s Menu and Game Play screens. ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Saber Tag aims to be a sword fighting game that is easy to start, and easy to track/score, so the menus and game screens are being designed as cleanly as possible for the players.

The conveniently-located screen can be glanced at during the game, showing the players’ HP gauges and the timer, all displayed so it can be quickly and easily understood.

This is in addition to the HP Indicators the players wear, so there are two ways to track the game play, without getting in the way of the actual game play.

These screens will be refined as more feedback is gathered, so stay tuned for more Saber Tag updates.
