Oh hai, backers! I hope you're all doing well.

That's been a month already since the end of Moshmo25, during which time I've managed to get down from Inverness to Dragonmeet in London, meet a bunch of folks I've only previously met online and catch a brutal con-flu which I'm only just getting over now.

The update on Hippocrene is fairly short this month as it's mostly:

Finishing the script which sits squarely with me. After a lot of stop-start breaks I've got most of the day today and a full day tomorrow on this now, which I'm really excited about.

Art briefing is in progress. I've got layout templates from Lone Archivist that will work for most of the key spreads in the zone, and will be using these to put in my artwork brief to Malachi Ward for the spot art in the zine. I'm very excited to see what we get back here since he did such an amazing job with the cover art.

Patches have been ordered/paid for but not finalised yet. These are getting produced in the USA and I want to stall that order a bit until we're allowed to ship our goods to the TKG warehouse.

The Bonus Pamphlet stretch goal is ticking along well too. I've had the initial script for this through from DG Chapman, which looks like it'll be a fun 'who's got the diamond' jewellery heist in Hotel Mi Casa, one of the locations in the Malvolio district, the setting for Hippocrene.

I think that'll do for now. 

Have a bangin' festive holiday when it comes, I'll catch you in January.

Cheers,
Andrew
