We've funded in an hour thanks to all of you! We have an update coming in later to summarize the day, but I wanted to say right now: thank you for your support, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the campaign together!
We are officially funded! And it took less than an hour!
We are happier, more enthusiastic and more humbled by this, and the responsibility that comes with it, than ever.
Most importantly, we are so thankful to every single one of you who made this possible.
Thank you for following us in this new adventure. Thank you for helping us continue working on Harp & Scry! We truly love this project, and we cannot wait to share it with you.
Night Shift: Devil Division is funded! £30,000. It's real, it's happening, and honestly we're a little stunned sitting here writing this. The SRG team stepped out for pizza and when we came back, we'd funded 😂
This game has been a long time in the making and getting it across that line with your support means more than we can adequately put into words in a BackerKit update. So we'll just say: thank you. Genuinely. Every follow, every share, every comment, every person who grabbed a friend and said "look at this", that's what got us here.
Now we want to step into second gear
Every pound beyond £30K unlocks something that makes this game better, bigger, and more complete. We've attached the next stretch goals below. Have a look at what's coming if we keep pushing.
Book ribbons. Spot gloss. Devil minis in the Starter Set. A brand new class added to THE DIVISION. A custom cover for DEVILS. Full Draw Steel Codex VTT support. There's a lot on that list worth getting excited about.
The single best thing you can do right now is share this campaign.
Every new backer does two things: it pushes us toward the next stretch goal, and it grows the community of people who'll be playing, discussing, and playtesting this game. More players means more playtesting. More playtesting means a better game for everyone at the table. We're hoping to build a community that Night Shift: Devil Division will continue to support for years to come.
So share the campaign page. Post it in your Discord. Send it to the one friend who you know would love this. Tell them there are Devils that need Detaining.
Today is the day! Cuddlelore Cuties will be launching in just two hours at 10 AM PDT!
We have 15 plushies to unlock and our first goal is Francine the Jackalope!
There are 100 Early Bird Bundle slots, where you can get a plushie, an outfit, and a pin for a discount! And if you back the project in the first 48 hours, you will get a free tote bag! Remember! Your card will not be charged until the end of the campaign, so back early to secure early bird rewards and help us reach our goals!
We have ten pin designs based on postage stamps that you will be able to choose from!
And it is the last chance to reserve your spot to receive the Cuddlelore Storybook Hinge Pin! This is completely optional, but if you would like to receive the pin with your pledge, you can reserve your spot for $3!
If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to reach out. You can contact me at [email protected]
Thank you everybody for your interest in this project! Let's unlock all of the goals!
Is there any chance to access HARP/SCRY slightly earlier, with maybe partial albums or partial functionality for testing? It's a torture to wait for such cool functionality more than a year. I am totally aware that it can be partially ready, contain bugs, etc. But man, June 2027 - that's waaaay too long to wait.
The Big Squeeze is already off to an awesome start, being fully funded in just 1 hour! Thank you so much for being here -- your day 1 support has set the tone and momentum for everything that follows, and at this rate, we're well on track to unlock what's next.
Founders of Rindfall
Congratulations to all initial founders of Rindfall! The first people to pledge for the Collector's Edition of The Big Squeeze may have their name immortalized on the Deluxe Edition box sleeve, and it looks like a lot of you are well on your way to becoming leaders of this new world. For any of you who want to upgrade your pledge, it's not too late but don't wait too long if you want it!
Regardless of your pledge level, your support means everything to us. Thank you for joining us on this adventure to shape The Big Squeeze together!
So let's get into what you can expect for the next few weeks...
What Happens Next?
Constellation Voting
Starting next week, Launch Edition & Collector's Edition backers will vote on which Constellation cards enter the game. These cards -- in addition to being looking pretty -- will give you alternative starting builds for more even variety each game.
But perhaps most importantly, each constellation is also designed to encourage a different playstyle. So when you vote, you'll get to decide the archetypes for this mini-expansion forever.
Stretch Goals Speaking of forever, you also have a chance to unlock two brand-new characters:
The Pine Lane Legend at 1,000 Backers
The Prophet at ???? Backers
With enough backers, that'll give us the resources we need to complete the design and balance of extra characters. Once unlocked, these characters will become permanent additions to every copy of The Big Squeeze, forever!
If you'd like to help, all you have to do is share the campaign. Bring new survivors to the cause! Every new backer will help expand what this game becomes for everyone... and if you're competitive, bringing in your friends can help you get extra votes for your preferred constellations too. :)

Your Turn
Let's see how the early polls look! Based solely on this art, which character would you play first?
And one last time: thank you again for being here. We can't wait to embark on this campaign together with you. Now let's make some lemonade!
Is there any chance of the Mastermind Pack for 5 Minute Mystery being its own add-on? I don't want to have to buy the base game again but would love to get those extra case files to add to our current copy.
We woke up to the wild news that we were going to be featured on the front page!! I'm so absolutely blown away! Yes, I DID immediately send a screenshot to my mom, no shame!
Thank you so much, BackerKit, for sharing our dinos!!
Unlocks!
Yesterday we not only unlocked Spitter the Dilo and his Warmable Egg, but also Ridge the Spino, JayJay the Deinon, AND Shelly the Plesi! WOW!
Our next unlock are our first two beanie dinos! Melon Slice Spino and Dart Frog Dilo, and we're already a good way there!
Second Chance!
I've had a lot of you point out that the Mosasaurs poll ended just as close as our two Deinonychus designs did, and I missed that! So it's only fair to give our Orca Mosasaur a second chance! We've added in Keiko the Orca Mosa at the $45,000 slot, and moved the first Backer Vote to $50,000, and Beanie Backer Vote to $55,000!
Thank you guys so much for the shares and the love on this project so far!
We are have introduced 2 new tiers which are made for the ones that would like a few more goodies with their plush order. We have added the Super and Mega tier. These will include more exclusive items for the campaign and 5 unlocked stuffed plush.
With the addition of add-ons (which I do apologize I did not add from the start as I was unsure) you can add extra plush to your order. Making it easier to get more if you want to add more plush as designs get unlocked.
As always this has been fantastic and we are just getting started. We are so close to unlocking the next design so let's see how it all goes in the next few days.
