We are entering the last three days of the campaign. We are still on our way to the €100k stretch goal and we are not giving up. As a treat for today: a new preview scene from a Luftwaffe air base:
If you are still on the hunt for amazing builder games, we have an absolute treat for you here: Circle of Kerzoven is a charming settlement-building strategy game paired with a rich simulation experience. Every animal and plant tries to find their place in nature while you lead your villagers to their future. The devs are good friends of us and really earnest in their endeavour. And if you act now, you can still get an early bird. Check it out!

In-game preview of a Luftwaffe hangar
Over the weekend, we have cracked the €80k goal! This unlocks the Flight Simulator building pieces that lets your pilots improve their flying skills. We are now at 277% of the initial funding goal. All thanks to you backers!
If we reach €100k, we can make a second theater campaign that tells the story of getting ready for the Blitz from the perspective of a Luftwaffe air base. Comes with the German planes for the free build mode and a new way to interact with the nearby village.
You want us to reach the stretch goal? You can help by sharing the Kickstarter page, the trailer and social media posts! Tell your gamer and WWII history buff friends about the project!

Preview of a Luftwaffe airbase
The last week of our Kickstarter is upon us, dear friends! We are getting close to the €80k stretch goal which unlocks the Training Simulator Building Pieces next. Fingers crossed we reach that goal this weekend.
After that, the next goal would be €100k, for the inclusion of the Luftwaffe as a 2nd playable faction in the base game. We would love to ship the base game with two playable sides, so we will keep informing as many people as we can about our project.
We made a few preview scenes of how a Luftwaffe air base could look like in Ground of Aces:
Playing as the evil side, fighting against your values and morals, is an ambivalent situation for us as gamers and developers. What are your thoughts on playing as a historical faction that is fighting for evil goals? How would your air base look and operate differently if you play as the Luftwaffe?
We have reached €70k, thank you all! Next stretch goal: Simulator Training Building

We have updated our page with further information about the bonus content inside the Deluxe DLC "Wings of Valor":
You will get this DLC with the game if you pick the Deluxe Base Crew Member tier or higher. If you picked a lower tier, the Base Crew Member tier, you can still get it as a FREE reward by completing at least four Mission Briefings. Mission Briefings give you social media tasks that help our game to reach more people. The more people we reach, the more game content we can make for you, like Germany as a playable side. Go here to participate!
Unlocked and decided by the community!
Part of the bonus content was added by the Ground of Aces community before the Kickstarter started by reaching goals we set for followers number of the "Coming Soon" page. Now the community can vote on the bonus airplanes and later on two iconic pilot NPCs for your base roster. The winner of the first vote was the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito. This week, the voting for the second bonus airplane has started.
Vote for the next bonus airplane!
We have prepared six candidates and you can cast your vote for your favourite aircraft on our social media channels: Vote on Twitter | Vote on Facebook | Vote on Instagram
