Update #14 - Final Stages of Development

We race to get the final draft ready for production. Plus another art sneak peak!

Greetings from July! I write this hastily during a break from copy writing :)

June

Last month was incredibly busy as we did our best to catch up after my illness. We are still a little behind and have had to push back our deadline to get the final draft to our printer. Fortunately when we planned out our timeline, we included an additional month of safety time spread out over the stages in case of exactly this sort of thing. So while we are still a little behind, we did a review of our timeline at the end of June and don't believe there should be any delays for our October delivery target.

Pledge Manager & Surveys

Thank you so much to those of you who have completed your pledge management. As of this moment we have received almost half the surveys back. If you haven't completed your survey please do so ASAP. The pledge manager will be open until some time in August, so I will be reminding you again then. But Tom and I will both be shifting into convention preparation by late August and will need to close surveys before September.

Digital Rewards

While we are a little behind, we still expect to be able to deliver digital rewards this month. Whether you are a PDF only or PDF + physical backer, we will have a PDF ready for you in the next couple of weeks. Please keep in mind you will only receive your PDF if you have completed the survey. If you have not completed your survey when we send out PDFs, we will do a weekly review of surveys completed and send your PDF to you within a week of receiving your survey.

More Art Revealed!

I am very happy to say we have now received all illustrations from our very fantastic artist, Danyon Street. The above is another recreation of a historic artwork, this one took inspiration from Wojciech Kossak, Wounded Cuirassier with a girl. If you like his work, you can check out more of Danyon's art here.

Next Steps

We are currently working towards completing the final draft on the 9th of July. After that we will complete the print and play materials which will be available on our website, before we send out PDF copies to backers. After that we have a list of peripheral tasks to work on such as recording new instructional videos (yes we know we need them badly haha) while we follow along the manufacturing and shipping processes.

You will hear from us again later this month when we send out PDFs. If you haven't yet, please complete your survey. And feel free to come say hi on Discord.
