August Update

Production on Death of the Author is trucking along! Here's what has happened over the past month:

Victor and I playtested the two-player version. I made some minor tweaks, but the playtest went great! We told a story about a spaceship AI going rogue, who was both the Character and the antagonist.
The text of the game is officially finalized! Marx did an incredible job with their editing, I cannot recommend them more highly. The game is so much better than it was before.
James is continuing to work on the layout - he's sent me a few different options for the prompt pages and I'm very excited about them!
I started working on the tarot card extras: minor arcana with edits to the original prompts, and major arcana with messages from the Author.
Victor completed the stretch goal artwork of the Author! Here it is below: I think it's my favorite piece of art in the entire game.

The art for The Author, styled like a major arcana card. The top has the roman numerals XXII and the bottom says THE AUTHOR. Shows a woman standing with an open book in one hand and puppet strings in the other, a mannequin dangling from them near her feet. Her face is obscured with an ink smudge, and ink drips from the open book onto her sleeve.

We're still expecting to mail out games in October, and send out Backerkit surveys for add-ons and shipping in Aug/Sept. I'll send an update when that's ready to go!

Until next time.
~ Sam Leigh, the Author
