Dear Backers and Followers,
So, this is (almost) it!
Our campaign has successfully ended, and we are happy, exhausted, and proud at the same time. So far we have raised 474K EUR (525K USD), not even counting Late Pledges that will unlock new Stretch Goals!
You made this possible!!! Thank you so much for backing and supporting Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori!
Late to the Party?
Please don’t forget that we will allow Late Pledges for one week, so you can still back the project until Friday, 11th of April 2pm CEST. However, each tier will increase by 10% from their initial price points for all late pledges.
We have not fully arrived yet!
New Stretch Goals for Late Pledges
All Late Pledges will be added to the overall funding, so here is the list of our new Stretch Goals that may be unlocked:
The End is the Beginning
The digital Wallpapers and exclusive Discord role will be sent out to our backers soon and of course we'll make sure to have all rewards ready in time for the game's launch next year.
We will do multiple surveys in the future so that you can provide us with important information and give us more details closer to the game’s launch (like an updated shipping address, your Discord username, the name you want to be used in the credits including your personal 100-charter message, or which console version you want to go for exactly).
Most important of all we can now put all our energy into developing the game again, and thanks to the money we raised on Kickstarter we can make this one bigger and better than ever imagined!
A big thank you from the whole team!
This journey is far from over, please continue to ride with us :)
Also, we guess many of you saw the Nintendo Direct yesterday? We are now even more looking forward to launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 as well!
Incoming Pre-Alpha Tutorial Mission
Who thought this will be such a successful campaign and that Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori truly managed to break free from its niche, riding towards new horizons…

So close!

If you haven't backed us yet, now is the last chance to get your hands on the Kickstarter-exclusive Game Content (Avatar Warrior Skin and Warrior Horse), Kickstarter-exclusive Alpha Playtest in Spring 2025 and some Kickstarter-exclusive Physical Rewards such as the Khiimori Deluxe Miniature Statue and the Acrylic Khiimori Standee :)

Dear Backers and Followers,
Our campaign is coming to an end (Friday, April 4th at 2pm CEST), and we only have 48 hours left to raise as much money as possible to create the best game possible.
If you haven’t backed our game yet, now is the time!
These past weeks were a demanding but fantastic time, and we are grateful for all your support, comments, questions, and suggestions (especially the ones on breeding, made us very happy).
Straight from the horse’s mouth :)
We are proud and thankful to have reached so many of our Stretch Goals!
Especially “Cooking” (as we all love cooking in games) and “Peaceful Mode”. Why “Peaceful Mode”? Because this way we can ensure that Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori can be enjoyed by all sorts of players, from survival enthusiasts that love a true challenge to more cozy gamers who want to relax when exploring the vivid open world of 13th century Mongolia.
Our next Stretch Goal is at 410K EUR (approximately 440K USD) but we believe that we can even go beyond that!
This is the final push, and every backing helps us create an even better game: Please tell your friends about our campaign and share the posts in below social media channels!
Much love for our Community
Our plan was always to develop this game together with our community! The feedback and support we got from you in the past weeks was phenomenal, this is why we want to let our community “speak out” for our game right here, right now :)
Just a few comments that made us especially happy :)
“This game is everything I’ve been wanting in a horse game! So far excited for this game and huge props to the dev team for giving us horse gamers the kind of game we are looking for!” (Brittany)
“I've seen so many posts and videos about this in the last ~6 months, and I'm so excited for this! This is the first project I've ever backed on Kickstarter, and I'm so pleased it's a game with horses in it! Good luck to all of you, we're rooting for you all!” (Sabina)
“First ever game I’ve kickstarted because I’m very excited for this out of the box idea! I have been catching glimpses over the past couple months of gameplay and cannot wait.” (Kayla Willoughby)
“So happy to hear how quickly it got funded! I was hoping you would do a kickstarter so I could help fund such an extraordinary project.” (Liz Visser)
“This campaign brights my days since the beginning. What a journey! The concept art is really promising, love the inclusivity.” (Charlie)
“Damn I love this! So cool your horse can get unwell, and the note about using the powder to drive away other horses etc. sounds so immersive!” (Tasha)
“Wow what a beautiful story. I love this! Keep em coming! I felt like I was there. I am most looking forward to the journey. Taking my time picking our way through the path. I can not wait!!!” (Amanda Smith)
“I love the music, can't wait to hear more of it :)” (Sarah Coberly)
“I'm going to need a soak after this rollercoaster, lol” (Kysa Lusewing)
“Hahaha, i suggest the vendor of the horses from far away should only sell geldings. By the variety of all possibilities of breeding with such different kinds of horses, who you all wish to be in the game.” (CRa7y_HoRs3)
Finally, some Art and MEMEs from our community, thank you!
Thank you so much for your support and fingers crossed for a great finish!
The Soundtrack of Mongolia (new video)
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Mar 28, 2025 at 04:53:16 AM
Dear Backers and Followers,
Today's update is about music and the soundtrack of Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori!
But how important is music in games? And is it equally important across all genres?
For us, music has always been a key element when it comes to any great game that we love. This is why we gave our soundtrack a high priority from the beginning on!
What makes composing for this game especially interesting, is that Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori is not only set in fascinating Mongolia but in the ancient 13th century. So, time and location offer a wide variety of unique sounds and thus a perfect playground for our sound designers.
Furthermore, we work together with Mongolian musicians for even more authenticity.
But not only the music itself, also sound effects are a key element, especially in an open world game with horses at its core. So, we went the extra mile and recorded as many of them live at a horse ranch!
Check out our sneak peek into the extensive “Music and SFX Making-of” that we are planning for the future:
Last but not least we have a new, third track for you right here (two tracks, such as the Main Theme, were already shared on our Kickstarter main page):
How do you like our music so far? Feel free to leave a comment below, please.
