Hello my friends! 

You have hopefully heard that there's a Kickstarter running for The Mending Circle. As part of that I've announced a giveaway the other day and I wanted to make sure you've heard of it too, because it's not exclusive to the backers!

As part of the preparations for the crowdfunding campaign I both made and ordered a number of different samples for the magic tokens that are offered as part of the different reward tiers. But that means I now have a box full of bags and wooden discs that I won't really need once the campaign is over. So why not share them with fans of the game? And what better way to do this than with a fun giveaway!

Just to give you an idea of the breath of prototypes I have collected and created: 

 So, if you're interested in joining the giveaway, there are four ways to do it.

• You can follow my twitter/X account @sharkbombs and retweet the giveaway post
• You can follow my Bluesky account @sharkbombs and repost the giveaway post
• You can follow my Mastodon account @sharkbombs@mastodon.gamedev.place and boost the giveaway post
• You can subscribe to the official Sharkbomb Studios newsletter during the giveaway period.

The giveaway will run from now until the October 24th, 2023 at midnight, German time. One winner will be randomly picked for each option to enter listed above. Note that you are allowed to participate once for each of the options above. Since each has its own prize draw this can increase your chances with every draw you enter. However each person can only win once. Being picked winner in one draw will remove you from all other draws. 

The Prize

The prize is a set of 10 wooden tokens from among the prototype pieces created for the Kickstarter campaign. They come in a variety of designs and colors. Which ones you'll ultimately get will be a surprise. The tokens will be sent to you free of charge.

The prizes will be sent out once the crowdfunding campaign rewards are delivered. Based on current estimates that means in the first half of 2024. At that time I will send to you one set of prototype ten tokens, free of charge.

The Rules

To enter you need to be at least 18 years of age and reside in a region that I can actually send a small parcel to. I reserve the right to disqualify people from the giveaway for unacceptable behavior at any point.

The winner will be randomly picked from among all eligible entrants. They will be notified within 24 hours after the end of the raffle. Notification will be using the messaging service of the social media platform they participated in or via e-mail in case of the newsletter. If they do not accept the prize within 48 hours of notification, a replacement winner will be picked instead.

This giveaway is also subject to our privacy policy. Beyond the use of the services you subscribe to, your personal data (such as your e-mail or physical address) will only be used to communicate with you regarding the giveaway and to deliver your rewards.

Good luck everyone,

💜 Martin
