Progress Report
Thanks to your support, we are able to progress at a better pace and we are able to finish off some gorgeous looking and and produce more great stuff. The banner above is part of the scenery for the Illum region.
To create a more vivid world that can spark the players’ imagination, we have also started developing the common fashion styles of each region. Due to the mountainous landscape, Illumites have adapted to a sportier lifestyle. They prefer clothes that are easier to move in and the overarching style can also be observed in the fashion of the social elites. The image below is a rough draft of common Illumite attires.
As for monster design, we have also made a lot of progresses. We will reveal more information progressively. But to tide everyone over here is a series of illustration that shows the progress of the design process of one of our most powerful monsters, the Forest Avenger. This creature was originally a wood titan arcanoid, but its body was taken over by a powerful ruinarm, which bent it to the latter’s will.
Move to Backerkit
Just to let everyone know, we have moved all our kickstarter backers to backerkit, our chosen pledge manager service. You don’t have to do anything, the move has already been made.
The only change you will notice is that you will also be receiving notifications and questions from Backerkit. So please don’t delete the emails and questionnaires you receive from through them. Questions regarding your shipping address will be made through Backerkit.
We have also opened our preorder store at backerkit. If you know anyone who is interested in backing the project but missed the kickstarter, you can direct them here:

What an absolutely fantastic campaign! Not only we have succeeded, we have also smashed our original goal by 250%. The whole team and I would like to thank all of you, our 950 founding cloudbreakers who backed this campaign! You’re all legends!
SHOUTOUT
If you want more anime inspired TTRPG related product, check out Loading Crew’s The Complete Waifu Handbook, which will launch soon, in September.
It is a multi-system source book featuring anime inspired races, over a dozen new classes, subclasses, backgrounds, robust cooking and camping system. It’s compatible for 5e, Pathfinder 1, and Pathfinder 2e.
Additionally, I would like to thank all of our design team and illustrators.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Pledge Manager (Backerkit)
We will move our kickstarter project to the Backerkit website, which we will be using as our pledge manager. Backerkit is a website that lets you manage your pledge, provide your address, pay for shipping, and other details such as the name you would like to be credited in the rulebook. You can also use it to update your address and order add-ons. The Pledge Manager is going to take a while to process and open, so we will inform you the moment it does.
Playtest
In the meantime, we will continue playtesting and running weekly weekend games on our official discord server. Join us if you want to start playing early and provide feedbacks.
PAX Australia
We will be exhibiting Cloudbreaker Alliance in the indie booth at PAX Australia this October. Swing by our stand if you happen to be around.
Monthly update
We will be making regular monthly updates on Kickstarter to keep everyone informed of our progress. But we will also post any relevant news or announcements whenever needed. So you’re likely to receive more than one update a month.
Where to Reach Us
You can reach us easily using the messages & command function of Kickstarter, and also the Backerkit once it’s set up.
24 Hours to Go, Stretch Goal Unlocked & Still Going!

Thank you so much, for believing in this project, everyone! We have hit our 60k stretch goal! With this, we will be able to create additional contents and get our collaborators to contribute to the project.
From Brother Ming Games, Re;Act boardgame, we will have the artist known as The Painter converted into a Class under the Channeler Discipline. If you think summoning floating spectral weapons into combat is kinda neat, then this is the class for you.
If you want to learn more about Brother Ming's innovative boardgame or make a late pledge, you can visit his kickstarter page here.
Koi Siren
Koi Siren from Blaine Simple
From Blaine Simple, we will have the Koi Siren lifeform. It is part of his upcoming kickstarter: Silver's Monster Girl Manual! You can go to his kickstarter page here to get notified of its launch.
More Monsters & Player Options
From our own side, we will be getting more monsters and player options. You can see some exclusive arts that have not been published anywhere else before below.
A Paracelian Samurai
Sensha Dokuro, a multi-target enemy unit (Undead/Construct)
As part of the collaboration, Zedrin will be helping us design some monsters.
As we've discussed in the previous update, everything raised past this stretch goal will be allocated towards the voiceover and additional content.
Help Us Reach 200% & Stretch Goal Update!
over 2 years ago
– Mon, Aug 28, 2023 at 11:45:35 AM
Hello everyone, our kickstarter crowdfunding period is ending in three days and I am so grateful for all the support you have shown us by backing this project.
Currently, we are so close to reaching 200% funded and hitting our $60k AUD stretch goal. It is unlikely that we will reach the $90k AUD goal, but we promise to put every dollar we can towards the Professional Voice OverReward of the next stretch goal when we get above 200%. Even if we can't professionally voice all the videos, we can still do it for our gameplay introduction and other important videos.
Cloudbreaker Alliance is not a one-off project. It is a game that will be supported for years to come. That's why we want to create a base product of the best quality. The professional voice narration and animated tutorial will not only help teach new players how to play the game, it also goes towards community building, by making the game much more accessible for newcomers.
As we approach the deadline, I would like to ask all you cloudbreakers for a favour.
Please share our kickstarter to all your friends and anyone who might be interested in it, so that we can boost the quality of this product with more resources.
