Remember this stretch goal during the Kickstarter campaign?
At the time of the campaign, we were in talks with this actor, but we didn't have enough time to get all the paperwork ready. We appreciate your patience for the wait. Now that everything is in order, here is our official announcement:
Those of you who played Xenoblade Chronicles 3will recognise Harry McEntire as the voice of the main character Noah. He has done a stellar job on that game, expressing a wide range of emotion. He has also played Aethelwold from the Last Kingdom, Hunwald from Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and he is even credited on Final Fantasy XVI.
In Godshard Chronicles, McEntire will voice the high-ranking Mana Knight Thelonious Bane, who also happens to be a paladin (sprite pictured above). We'll share more about Thelonious in the future and where he comes from.
In addition to the game and the upcoming comics, we currently have several novels available in the Godshard universe. Although the novels share the same world and lore as the game, they are different stories with different characters written in the high-fantasy genre style. They're currently available on Amazon here: [link]
Note: the novels aren't required to enjoy the game, and playing the game isn't required to enjoy the novels.
If you haven't already done so, you can join our Discord here: [link]
Here you can interact with some of the staff, actors, and other individuals who share the same interests!
We are truly humbled by your support. Thank you again, everyone! Development of the game is proceeding at a great pace. We'll continue posting the updates routinely, so keep an eye out for us.
Cheers!
The Team at J-Cat Games

Thank you for voting! Here are the contest winners for the fan art contest, along with our staff picks:
3rd Place: @retrogirlplushy from Twitter
2nd Place: Tonic_Arts from the Godshard Discord
1st Place: Serra Britt from Twitter
Congratulations, Serra Britt! You will receive a signed copy of the OST by Noriyuki Iwadare. Are other winners will receive upgraded bonuses to their pledges.
Just a reminder, our Backerkit Store is up, and we are still adding some new items. We plan to add the physical art book in the future. We're also in talks with the manga publisher about adding the physical comics/manga to the store, so if there's enough interest, we can make this happen!
We are almost finished with creating our survey. Thank you for your patience. We should have it out this week. Once you respond, we can start assigning Discord roles.
For those of you who selected Design an NPC or either of the Legendary Hero tiers, please reach out to us if you haven't already (we will attempt to reach you via Kickstarter message or e-mail, as well). We will also create a Discord channel for you to discord how to go forward with the creation process.
We have already started shipping out the mana knight statue and the limited edition cassette tape this week. If you have ordered these and not provided your address and contact information, please reach out to us and do so. That way we can get these to you as soon as possible.
Note: Please be careful when removing the statue. Like most statues, certain parts can break easily. In this case, the part where the knight holders the mana lance is the critical point. If you pull too much on the lance (or staff), you risk breaking her thumb. If you are unsure of how to remove the statue, Dylan and Elmon will make a video next week detailing their methods, and we'll post it here and on our Discord.
Thank you again, everyone! We appreciate your support. Since the end of the campaign, we have already continued development of the game and will post game updates routinely.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us on here or Discord!
Our Backerkit store is now LIVE! For those who missed out on the campaign, or forgot to get a specific item, now is your chance to do so here (link is embedded in the banner):
Please note: If you place any orders on Backerkit right now, you will not be charged immediately. We're still clearing out things with Kickstarter first. Therefore, charges will not go through for at least another week or two.
We will continue to add items on the Backerkit store, so keep checking back if you don't see something you like.
For those of you who ordered the physical items above, the mana knight statue and the limited edition cassette tape, we will start the process of shipping them out (as soon as we get the clear from Kickstarter)!
We have already reached out asking for the proper shipping information. If you have ordered one or both of the above items and have not received a message, please reach out to us on here or Discord.
Note: These items are shipped by J-Cat Games, so they are shipped separate from the physical games by Premium Edition Games. Therefore, it's no problem for us to ship these out now!
After we send these out, we will start working on preparing the comics for fulfilment. We're going to wait until their official release by Antarctic Press before sending them out.
Elmon Dean will be conducting an interview singer Jennifer Stigile (the American singer for the PlayStation Lunar games) to add to the interview series on our YouTube channel.
To prepare for this interview, we'd love to take questions from you! Therefore, if you have anything to ask Jennifer, please go to the #suggestion-inquiries channel of our Discord server and field your question(s) there.
We won't be able to use every question, but we'll try our best!
The art contest is finished! A big round of thanks to all those who contributed. To be fair, we have only included the ones who did their original work instead of commissions, but we are also grateful for those who submitted commissioned work. We will try to showcase these another time.
Without further ado, here are the contestants:
We will have closed voting, meaning only Backers can vote. We will announce winners the following week on April 16.

As we mentioned, we're slowly reaching out to various backers depending on their rewards. This means assigning Discord roles, or collaborating with those who have the in-game rewards. Once Kickstarter finalises the payment process, we will proceed to this next step. Thank you for your patience!
Thank you again, everyone!
