Greetings ARKYVRs,

Anyone who late pledge pre-ordered the zine, got Add-ons, or adjusted their pledge tiers will have their cards charged next week on July 2nd. I'll send a 48 hour reminder before cards are charged. I've ordered the zine test print and will be placing orders for all of the backerkit exclusives next week.

Shipping prices will be made official once all of my prints come through later in July and I confirm weights. I'll begin locking shipping addresses at that time and sending out a final charge for shipping fees.

Printing everything should take more or less a month before I send everything to Flying Cloud for fulfillment. In which then, you'll get all your cool stuff!


I'll upload pictures of the test and final prints in a giant pile before shipping everything out!

I'll check back soon-

Greetings ARKVYRs,

Just a heads up that I'll be locking orders this Friday. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me through BackerKit.

Alex completed all of the NPC portraits and they look amazing! Editing is completed and I'm currently finalizing the layout and tweaking the copy as I re-read and re-read the module. Here are a few sample pages.

Map is almost complete. I'm waiting for Alex to complete the Relay Station artwork and adding a few more details to the map but here is the front and back of the poster/map exclusive which will be printed on 11x17" cardstock poster paper. Here's what it looks like so far:

Got the basic vector ready to submit and have patches made. Those who backed a physical tier within the first 48 hours of the campaign will get both the 48 Hour OMENDROME patch AND the ALL-Projects-Funded SOLARACOM patch. Everyone else who backed an individual physical tier will receive just the SOLARACOM patch.

I'm finalizing the postcards this week. Alex's art will really shine in these prints (literally and figuratively). On top of having a gloss varnish, the postcards will also be printed in CMYK so we can use rich black values instead of standard and really make those shades pop! It'll be a beautiful collection of some of the universes' worst people.

This will come closer towards the end of this month or beginning of July when I begin receiving the prints. I'll send reminder updates as this date gets close.



Thank you all for your patience and support. I've had the privilege of meeting and running games with some of you at conventions this past spring. It's been so much fun! I'll be running ARKYVR games all throughout GENCON this year so hopefully I'll see more of you then.


Cheers!

Greetings ARKYVRs,

This is the alert that I'll be locking orders in two weeks (June 6). So make sure your items are up-to-date, I'll be following up on locking shipping information toward the end of June.

We're nearing the end of the editing process! Amanda's been super flexible with her schedule and giving some great feedback on the minor details I've overlooked :) Love having multiple eyes on these things.

To keep the art style consistent, Alex Cheng has taken over the relay station art duties! I'll be covering the additional art and design to accompany the layout. We're hoping to have all of the pieces finished by mid-end of June in which I can start submitting orders for the Postcards and Poster Maps. I apologize for not having the Mothership Month Exclusive and 48 Hour Exclusive patches ready to show in this update, I'll have those in a separate update in a few weeks once I'm ready to place the order for them.


Back to the grind, I'll talk to ya'll again soon!

Greetings ARKYVRs,

Here are a few updates for this month:

I've received about 90% of your responses to the survey. I'll begin locking orders around the end of this month so there's still time. I'll send out final weeks and final day updates as we get closer to that.

I'm locking down the manuscript and getting it ready to send my editor, Amanda, next week. Then, I'll be focusing primarily on tweaking language for layout.

Now that Alex has completed his Grave Trigger campaign, he's now wholly focused on completing the portrait and front/rear cover art for Omendrome. We should have a complete collection within a few weeks. Rob, unfortunately, had to drop out of the project early to take care of things at home which currently leaves some of the ship art as only partially finished. I'll be contacting some new artists after submitting the manuscript next week and be adding some extra art myself to flesh out some of the pages.

As mentioned in an earlier update, I've moved away from the messy notepaper aesthetic because it was preventing me from expressing the nitty gritty details for these bounties and I think the real fun always lies in the details. The the ease of reading will be much less straining on the eye. Here's the current blocking I'm working with.

Patches, maps, and postcards will be completed once all of the artwork has been finalized from all of our participating artists. More updates when I get closer to that stage.


Now back to the grind, I'll check in with ya'll soon. Be Safe. Be Kind. Play games.


Also, fuck fascism. 


-Cheers!
