Greetings, Visionary Backers!
We hope this update finds you in sky-high spirits as we dive into the latest developments for Skyrise. Let's jump right in!
1️⃣ Insert Design Preview: We are SO CLOSE to revealing the highly-anticipated insert design for Skyrise! Team Roxley has been working diligently to ensure that every detail of the insert is not only functional but also visually stunning. Kickstarter updates are meant to be a place for exclusive content, so you will be the first to see the insert design, once it crosses the finish line of internal approvals. We can't wait to unveil it to you!
2️⃣ Miniature Molds Update: The miniature molds for Skyrise are now nearing completion! Our team has been fine-tuning every aspect of the miniatures to ensure the highest quality and attention to detail. Despite the delay in approving the wash samples, our progress with the miniature molds is on track, and we're confident that the final result will be exceptional.
3️⃣ Team Roxley at Game Con Canada: Team Roxley recently attended Game Con Canada, a new convention that made a heck of a splash in its inaugural offering! Skyrise was available for demos, along with the roster of other amazing Roxley games. Seeing your passion and excitement for these games in person is truly heartwarming, and we're grateful for all the support we received during the event!
As always, we deeply appreciate your unwavering support, patience, and trust in us as we continue to bring Skyrise to life. We'll be back again in a couple of weeks, and until then ...

15 May - Wash Samples + PM Closing Date + Updated Timeline!
11 months ago
– Mon, May 15, 2023 at 06:34:03 PM
TL;DR: Wash samples are in, finalize your pledge, pm closes end of May and delivery is set for end of 2023.
Hang on tight; this update has a lot of important info, so please read carefully!
Wash is Approved!
Well folks, It has been a long road to get here, and we have a small crate’s worth of the wash samples that didn’t fly to show for it, but the process was totally worth it because, in the end, it landed us here. We are so very pleased with the results and are confident you’ll love them as much as we do!
Please note this is a hand-painted process. And that means every set is bound to have some unique traits, as seen in the photos. We feel that this also gives it a lot of charm.
We do not have a straight comparison of color plastic vs. wash because we need the molds created before we get color plastics, but you can get a sense of what the wash is adding to the depth in these photos.
This project has a lot of bits that need to be 100% Roxley-approved before production can begin in earnest. We can now share the updated timeline, which has shifted from our original estimates due to the proofing process.
Updated Timeline
Today - 3D Models and wash approved.
May 30 - Pledge manager orders lock
May 31 - Pledge manager charges for add-ons, shipping, and taxes
Late July - Molds complete
Early Aug - Mold testing complete, mass production begins
Oct - Manufacturing Complete

Dec - Product arrives for fulfillment
Dec-Jan - Fulfillment - begin the auctions!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!
BACKERKIT WILL LOCK ON MAY 30TH AND CHARGE CARDS ON MAY 31ST!
We'll be back with a reminder before the end of the month!
24 April - Flying High with Approved Building Minis!
12 months ago
– Mon, Apr 24, 2023 at 11:18:25 AM
We have exciting news to share regarding our game's progress! The 3D models for the towers and island frames have been fully approved and are ready to go. We're thrilled to share with you a full set of all the buildings, which look absolutely fantastic!
Our print components are also almost ready for full production, with most of them already in the final production prep stages. However, we have one small obstacle to overcome: we're still working on another sample idea for the washes. Unfortunately, this means that we're still a little ways away from finalizing the wash. But don't worry; it's not holding up production because our team is already working on the molds. The only delay is due to the fact that it takes our team a long time to create & review the wash samples with the factory.
To get you back into the Skyrise hype-train state of mind, we’re resharing the great Skyrise play-through from the Tantrum House team:
We can’t wait for each of you to sit around your gaming tables, enjoying the thrill of Skyrise with your own gaming crews of high-flying artisans. Once again, Team Roxley wants to express our gratitude for your ongoing support throughout the development process. We couldn't have made it this far without you, and we can't wait for you to see Skyrise in all its final glory!
28 Mar - Status update with more Red Wax and a Successful PAX!
about 1 year ago
– Tue, Mar 28, 2023 at 09:03:47 AM
Greetings to all our citizens in the sky!
We're rounding the corner towards the end of March, and we're back with the latest Skyrise information and images!
Team Roxley just returned from a wildly successful PAX East convention, where Skyrise was on display and in action:
Looking beyond the convention prototype, approximately one-quarter of our Skyrise buildings are now fully approved!
Behold their glorious final approved-ness:
The approval process may be a bit slower than previous Roxley games, but making sure that each miniature looks and works exactly as we envisioned (and you expect!) is of critical importance.
And finally, here are a few more red wax miniature samples to feast your eyes upon:
To reiterate what has been shared in previous updates, once we have wash samples that have passed through final approval, we will share those images. The Pledge Manager will not close until the final wash sample has been shared with our backer community.
