The brief from Steve Jackson was to make the digital version feel as much like the board game as possible. “We’d done a lot of work turning physical games into digital previously, such as Chainsaw Warrior and our upcoming game Dark Future, and they said yes!” Faithful to the original Tom, our Design and Production Director, is an avid OGRE fan – he’s been playing it since he was nine – so he contacted Steve Jackson Games to ask if we could do it. Nina Adams, Ogre’s Producer for Auroch Digital (pictured left), tells us: “One of the stretch goals on the Kickstarter was to create a digital version. In fact, it was this Kickstarter campaign that… erm… kick started (sorry) the creation of the videogame. It has garnered a strong community of loyal fans since then, so it was little surprise that in 2012, 35 years after its original release, a Kickstarter campaign for a new edition of the board game raised just under £1million to make it a reality. If you are not familiar with it, the board game was released back in the 70s by Steve Jackson Games and features giant cybernetic tanks called OGREs fighting a seemingly endless war. “We did everything we could to make it feel like the original” Fans of the award-winning tabletop strategy game OGRE are in for a big treat: Bristol-based videogame designer Auroch Digital has released the official digital version of the war game on STEAM.
