We love wargames, skirmish video games, passion video games no matter you need to name them. These (principally) little plastic miniatures video games have seen one other explosion in recognition since COVID-19, and the practice is not stopping. Launching a brand new sport within the house is not straightforward, nonetheless. With the mighty Video games Workshop taking on the vast majority of the pie, how does one stand out?
Nicely, that is the place Enviro Video games is trying to come to the desk (high) with their environmentally pleasant focus, they’re trying to nook a distinct segment available in the market and carve out a slice of the pie for themselves.
What, and who, are Enviro Video games
Enviro Video games is constructing its firm on 5 pillars from the outset:
Use paper-based parts derived from sustainably managed forests
Leveraging printing processes which keep away from oil-based feedstocks
Eradicating oil-based plastic parts wherever doable and
Utilizing miniatures produced from much less dangerous printing supplies, moulds with a number of manufacturing cycles and the power to re-use mis-casts and sprues (that are sometimes in any other case discarded).
Teaming up with native design, printing and manufacturing companions within the growth of our sport, not solely supporting the native financial system but in addition lowering the necessity for journey between websites!
“Roll the cube, however not with our planet”
It is a catchy tagline, however extra importantly, it is simply a good suggestion. Enviro Video games will launch its first sport, Novus Malum open to pre-orders for anybody trying to get entangled. The product can be made in Siocast, an injection moulded system, which signifies that firms on a a lot smaller scale could make a product on a a lot bigger scale than they may usually. Additionally, as Enviro Video games said in its five-point plan, Siocast may be reused after, so the unused sprue may be repurposed into the subsequent equipment to enter manufacturing. The important thing right here is, that whereas Siocast can produce the minies for you, with a well-trained worker you are able to do it your self.
Particularly, one draw back to the product that must be talked about is that Siocast IS the product, it is the corporate’s model, which implies they management the value. However, for a smaller-scale wargaming firm, Siocast is a improbable place to start out.

We had a short chat with Daniel Phillips, Founder and Innovation Director at Enviro Video games in regards to the product and what the longer term holds for Novus Malum:
” We might love to do each (develop Novus Malum and do different merchandise). We perceive that making a model that folks recognise is necessary. What we would love to do is construct on the map that we have created and included within the rulebook. This primary set takes place in only one a part of that world, so we would prefer to develop that with extra armies and to flesh that out throughout the continent (of the sport). Within the meantime, we are able to provide you with extra campaigns to get extra out of the product for individuals.”
So, the sport has scope to develop in future for those who undertake early, or what to come back in at a later date.
