Indie game developer Blindflug Studios has announced that its upcoming WWII base-building game Ground of Aces managed to reach its funding goal in four hours. Blingflug Studios is a Swiss-Polish developer and is currently developing Ground of Aces for which the developer started a Kickstarter campaign to fund its development. The studio set a goal of 30,000 Euros which the studio managed to reach within four hours. For such a strong start, the developers thank the community for their strong support.
Considering the fact that the game has managed to reach its funding goal and there is plenty of time still left for the Kickstarter campaign, the developer has listed the first stretch goals for the game as well. As of now, the studio has managed to reach the first two stretch goals of 40,000 and 50,000 Euros as well. Players will now be able to bring their pets to their air bases and build new structures to gather intel on their enemies. The next major stretch goal for the developer is 100,000 Euros to add Germany as a playable party in the theatrical campaign of the game which tells us the story of the Battle of Britain. There are many other smaller stretches in the middle as well.
In Ground of Aces, you will be tasked with building and micromanaging a World War II air base that is inhabited by a diverse cast of pilots and crew members. The game offers a never-ending free build mode as well as the Theatre Campaigns which will give you specific glimpses into World War II and the challenges that air bases and their crews had to face including the Battle of Britain. The game takes its inspiration from freeform base builder games like Rimworld and Going Medieval and history games like Hearts of Iron IV. The art style of the game pays homage to the ‘ligne claire’ style of Franco-Belgian comics like Biggles and Buck Danny.
Ground of Aces is currently in development, and it is planned for release in 2024. If you are interested in the game, you can head over to the Kickstarter page of the game and support the developers. Additional information about the game will be released in the coming months leading to the game’s full release.
