I don't know why but I still haven't made a thread here about the game while I made one on SPUF. Due to my laziness I'll just give the link to SPUF here for the largest part of the info, and give the short one.
I think some already know about it since an old thread talked about it, but I didn't really find ( as in search) it.

The Banner Saga kickstarter project.


The Banner Saga is a role-playing game merged with turn-based strategy, wrapped into an adventure mini-series about vikings.

Travel through stunning landscapes straight out of an animated film. Battle painstakingly hand-animated foes in strategic, turn-based combat harkening back to the classic "Tactics" days of gaming. Make decisions with consequences in conversations with people you'll truly care about.

And throughout the whole thing record the history of your people on your banner where it will be remembered, because soon there might not be anything left.

The Banner Saga is a mature game aimed at gamers who appreciate art, story and strategy.


The project has already been funded after only 36 hours and now with only 3 days to go it has reached 550% fundiong, which is really good, but more is even better.

It looks really cool, but all these kickstartes are really draining my funds.. I'm going to have to wait for release.

This may be one I will have to throw money at. $10+ so I can get the game as well. I wish I actually had money to spare and I would give more.

I went for the 50$ level, but it might be the only purchase I make for a while.

Basically from what we can read and what the devs says, we can somewhat expect a game with mechanics aligned to those of Final Fantasy Tactics in an adult Viking themed world.

So, im not sure if the template is a guideline and you make the crest, or you basically choose from an assortment of pre-made crests or designs to compile them into your own.

From what I gathered and seemed the most logical, it is a guidline to create the crest.
The current template is just a quick guideline and not the complete template.

When making the crest we will have to import an image following the criterias given and we will have to choose a banner shape and color from the given sets.

Since cfriend started a Thread reporting ongoing and complete kickstarter project, and the project soon ends, I'll close this one and go there.
