Hello, my name is Mai Shirakami. I’m delighted that you’re reading this article.
Today, I’d like to share with you why I created AWAKE HEROES.
“A Miracle Born from the Bonds of Family” – A Heartwarming Board Game by Mai Shirakami, AWAKE HEROES, Launches on Kickstarter
Kyoto, Japan, August 1, 2024 – Driven by the desire to deepen the bonds within my family, I have created a board game called AWAKE HEROES, which has now launched its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Through this game, I hope to bring a sense of connection and inspiration to people all around the world.
A Heartfelt Project Born for My Son and Family
My story began with a game that my son started to create on his own, just for us to play together as a family. The game, which he sketched out with pencil on paper, was rough around the edges at first, but as we played, it reminded me of the importance of family bonds. This simple act of play inspired us to refine the rules, develop characters, and spend more quality time together as a family.
My Challenge to Enhance the Game for My Family
As the game became more polished, I watched as not only my family but also my son’s friends enjoyed playing it. This sparked a new desire in me – to share this happiness with the world. I then made the decision to bring the game to life as a product. While I had experience as a designer at a game company, this was my first time creating a game on my own. Despite many challenges, I was determined to bring to life the feelings my son had awakened in me, and I’m proud to have completed this game.
AWAKE HEROES – Creating Bonds with Family and People Around the World
AWAKE HEROES is a tactical card game set in a dystopian future. Players lead unique heroes, using strategy to battle it out. My hope is that this game will provide an experience where all players can enjoy themselves together and forge deep connections.
Kickstarter Campaign Launch
AWAKE HEROES is now available on Kickstarter through a crowdfunding campaign. The campaign features exclusive rewards and special cards, and we are seeking support from game fans. It is my deepest hope that this game reaches many people and helps them share wonderful moments with their families and friends.
