Welcome to Gods Eye Games! Gods Eye Games LLC is the creation of Sons of Mars author, Joe Veltre and miniatures enthusiast, Scott Holmes. During the summer of 2018 Joe and Scott worked out a deal to incorporate Gods Eye Games and acquire Sons of Mars and the YouTube hobby channel The Acceptable Casualties. Today we publicly launch our new game publishing venture with the deployment of our dedicated website. https://godseyegames.com/
We’ve spent that last few months building a business infrastructure that we hope with hard work, good luck, and our customers support will bring you many new games in the future months and years.
The successful release of Sons of Mars with the help our outstanding partner NorthStar Military Figures made it clear to us that we had a game that was interesting to miniatures enthusiasts and wargamers. We knew we had the entrepreneurial spirit and enough creative outpouring to build a business around it. To that effect, we decided to found a business entity that operated from our home state here in Colorado, USA.
The aim of this business is to expand the first creation, Sons of Mars, through direct sales, marketing, ongoing support, and new content creation. Central to the business formation is also the creation of new and different games. We are going to places near and far from the arenas of Rome.
To that effect we present the Gods Eye Games website. A web portal where you can get everything you need for Sons of Mars and our future games. You will find a full functioning eCommerce store where you can purchase print and digital versions of Sons of Mars. You will also find all the Free Content that goes with Sons of Mars along with an integrated news feed, our Casualty Report, where you will be able to see all the things we are working on as we grow our business in the years to come.
The months long process of setting up this business included all the legal and administrative tasks such as partnership agreements, corporate filings, banking, and website creation. It also included lots of discussion on the things we thought we could bring to the market that would add enjoyment and value to our customers and a business plan to execute. We also created a logo that we hope is evocative of the games we want to create.
During our planning the thing that immediately rose to the top was direct sales. To that effect we present our online store for customers in the United States. We have a number of retail partners in the United States that you can buy our game from, but we thought moving forward we needed the ability to sell direct. You’ll find our games here in the United States at Brigade Games, On Military Matters, and Badger Games, but in the future you’ll find about them here first! NorthStar Military Figures will continue to be our worldwide distributor and retail partner. We hope to bring direct sales support to the western hemisphere in the coming months starting with our wargaming family in Canada. For those who like to keep their collections of digital titles together you will still find Sons of Mars at the WarGameVault, but you can now also find them here on our site.
Please buy our games from your favorite retailer, but know buying direct here allows us to invest all the revenue back into our fledgling endeavor. We plan to bring you great things in the future!
To create the site we knew we had to increase the quality and quantity of our imagery so we endeavored to add some figures and terrain to enhance the visual experience of our creations. You can look forward to the level of quality you find here in future productions.
It was also necessary, if we were to start selling direct, that we needed to gather inventory to fulfill orders. Our partner in Nottingham UK swiftly helped us with that.
You may be wondering what will happen to The Acceptable Casualties? Fear not, it will continue to focus on battle reports and hobby news for multiple gaming systems as well as giving a behind the scenes look into the development of Steel & Steed (a knights at tournament ruleset) as well as other future titles by Gods Eye Games. After all we are miniature wargamers like you, we plan to continue playing lots of games! theacceptablecasualties.com will be shortly redirected to this site where resides all the same content.
You may be wondering about our business name, Gods Eye Games? When we decided to become business partners we went through a collaborative creative process to come up with a name that would be familiar to things gamers identify with. When playing games we often talk about the gods eye view we have, so it was apropos. We thought it offered a lot in the way of imagery and branding that we could work with over the years. It was also available as an entity for incorporation and on the world wide web, a feature that we felt was very important for our long term investment.
Looking forward we are very excited about what this partnership will bring to our gaming community. We will continue to pursue our goal of creating unique and immersive rulesets that not only focus on combat, but storytelling and campaign play as well. So head over to the main site, drop a book into your cart, plan your Ludus, and join us on the bloody sands. Make sure to take advantage of the sale this week where you can get a discounted price on a digital edition or FREE SHIPPING (USA only) on a print edition.
Thank you for your business and taking the time to peruse the website. The site has launched, the destination is set for distant locations, and there is no looking back. Join us on our journey!
