We have some exciting pictures to share… We have been sent some pictures of our ION Heart minis and we think they look out of this world!
These are the Red Wax masters, and the final step before we begin tooling the models. It is a real joy to see the ION Heart world brought to life, and we hope this makes you all as excited as us!
Coming to tabletops soon!

Explore the galaxy with fellow pilots and mechs in Ion Heart Multiplayer
The celestial treasure might feel worlds away, but it’s still floating among the stars…
… or to put it more simply - you might have missed your chance to pledge, but fear not -
late pledges are open!
Preorder here to be among the first to get your hands on Ion Heart Multiplayer.
The Mech Pilot Bundle: for pilots who like to be prepared
For pilots who are prepared to venture into the galaxy, the Mech Pilot Bundle includes all three ION Heart Multiplayer RPG books in both physical and digital (PDF) formats, along with essential gameplay accessories.
All Pilot's and Mech's to attention - The Pledge Manager is here!
That's right, it's time to tinker with your order and get things locked down - sort of.
Our Smoke Test went live today, which means 5% of you will have just received an email asking you to fil in your survey. That means 95% of you won't have received anything just yet, but should (if all goes well) be seeing yours popping into your inboxes in about two days. So:
If you haven't received your invite to the Pledge Manager yet - DON'T PANIC! You're just not part of the random Smoke Test.
Apologies from the team for how long this has taken, but hopefully now the ball is rolling it won't stop anytime soon!
We know everyone is excited to fill in their surveys and secure their trip the Astral Union. We're working hard to get the Pledge Manager up and running, because we're excited too.
We've been getting a few similar questions, so here's a quick FAQ:
When will the Pledge Manager be ready? We're aiming to get things ready and open by the end of May.
Will there be Pre-Orders / Late Pledges? Yes! Absolutely!
When will I get my rewards? Check the timeline on the campaign page, we're still on track to meet that schedule. Pre-existing digital rewards will be delivered as soon as the Pledge Manager locks (closes).
If you have any further questions, or want to join the Parable Games community, you can email us at contactparablegames.com or join our Discord: https://discord.gg/StcqgYjv7u
If you're going to be at London Comicon or the UK Games Expo this May, come say hello to the team!
From everyone at Parable Games, we just want to say a massive mech-sized thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign. We've been blown away by the enthusiasm and love this project has received, and cannot wait to fully bring this game to life for you all!
So now the campaign is finished, what happens next?
Next Steps - Pledge Manager and Surveys
Backerkit are processing the funds, and very soon the Pledge Manager will open for you to check, confirm, and add on to your pledges (the latter being an optional choice).
Be sure to fill in your survey as soon as possible, to avoid any disappointments further down the line.
We're already working hard on getting the books and all the other goodies from the campaign moving, and will be updating you all with the progress as on the project as we go.
Next Steps - Timelines
Please check the Timeline on the Ion Heart Multiplayer campaign page. It's still as accurate as we can currently be, and we'll update you here if anything changes!
Next Steps - Communication
From now on, the way we communicate with you will be a little different than during the campaign.
Once a month, we will send you an update here, on the campaign, along with an email notification. We'll do this whether there's been interesting progress, or not. As you might imagine, when making a game, there's a lot more boring bits than interesting ones, but we want to make sure you know we're still here and still going!
We don't want to overload you with emails, so it will just be that one update a month for this project - as regular to the day as possible, but at least one per calendar month. Please don't go straight to the comments with "It's been almost a month / 4 weeks since the last update and no new update!", because there will be one coming along that month.
Speaking of comments, we will be monitoring the comments and messaging through the campaign less now, as we focus on other aspects of game production and other project campaigns. The very best ways to get in touch with us directly are:
This is the best way to get in touch with us. Use this to speak to the team and other Parable Gamers like yourself! We can help with all sorts of quick and easy problems this way - and you get to meet lots of cool new people!
Use these for serious problems with your Backerkit Pledge or Parable Games product.
So if you have queries about our other games, other campaigns, payment issues, timelines, or anything else, please be sure to send them to the right place, at the right time.
Once again, thank you all for helping us make this game a reality. We can't wait to explore the Astral Union with you all!
