<p>Updates have been, well, non-existent lately because we&#8217;ve been super busy pulling everything together for our first edition printing of JammerUp: The Roller Derby Board Game! Here&#8217;s a sneak preview of what&#8217;s to come:</p>
<p><a href="http://jammerup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/jammerupboxcover.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-209" title="jammerupboxcover" src="http://jammerup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/jammerupboxcover-300x289.png" alt="" width="300" height="289" /></a></p>
<p>The board, box, and other game assets have gotten a makeover and I&#8217;m pleased to announce that all materials are now with the printer and ready for mass production! We should have color proofs to sign off on in a matter of days, and then it&#8217;s just a matter of waiting for them to roll of the assembly line and putting them in the mail There are over 300 of you who&#8217;ve ordered already, and we can&#8217;t wait to ship them out to you.</p>
<p>Exciting updates are coming to the website as well, including a new &amp; improved Strategy section, new videos, our Kickstarter Backer thank you page, a Where to Buy directory, and  the final rule set in both English and Spanish! Stay tuned!</p>

<p>In fact, we&#8217;ve surpassed our goal by a little bit, and still have one more week to take pledges. Over-funding will be put toward the development of a social/mobile version of JammerUp, which is already in progress.</p>
<p>A huge THANK YOU to everyone who&#8217;s contributed, shared the link, or mentioned Jammerup to a friend. We couldn&#8217;t have done this without you!</p>

<p>These miniatures are available for pre-order on our Kickstarter page now. They are unpainted pewter and mounted on hexagonal bases that fit the board. You can play with these (once they&#8217;ve been painted or marked, so you who&#8217;s on what team) or with the colored glass pawns that are also included in the box.</p>
<p>The minimum contribution level that includes 2 teams of derby miniatures (10 individual  miniatures total) is $80. Additional shipping charges outside of the U.S. apply. <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nikihammond/jammerup-the-roller-derby-board-game" target="_blank">Order now and help us reach our funding goal!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One nice thing about having a solid, two-player, turn-based version of roller derby is that it lends itself to being turned into a mobile game or social game, like Words with Friends on your iPhone or Android.</p>
<p>Meet the beginnings of Phase 2 of JammerUp:  <a href="http://jammerup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/board_matrix.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-110" title="board_matrix" src="http://jammerup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/board_matrix-300x289.png" alt="" width="300" height="289" /></a></p>
<p>What the hell is that, you ask? It&#8217;s a multidimensional array that will that will be passed through a function that draws rows of adjacent hexagons of varying shades.</p>
<p>In other words, it&#8217;s a snippet of the code behind an <strong>iPhone/iPad/Android version of JammerUp</strong>, which we started programming last week.</p>
<p>It will take a lot to get from here to a finished product. But <em>we can see it</em>, and with <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nikihammond/jammerup-the-roller-derby-board-game" target="_blank">your help</a>, it WILL get done. (Ask anybody who&#8217;s ever worked with me. I get shit done.)</p>
<p>Funds raised from sale of the board game will go toward hiring iOS/Android platform developers and designers. If you haven&#8217;t done so already, <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nikihammond/jammerup-the-roller-derby-board-game" target="_blank">please support our JammerUp Kickstarter project</a>. Let&#8217;s make this happen!</p>
