Well, the funding is over and things are shifting into high-gear for "The Gammatastic Voyage." We're getting in the final pieces of art slowly but surely (they are all due in by mid-July). I'm going to do a version of the map of the StarSpawn facility in an isometric format (I feel like those maps are more fun) next week. I would imagine that will be the version for the final project. Meanwhile, final (professional) edits of the manuscript begin this week!

It's always hard to guess exactly when things will be done. My record is to deliver projects pretty much on time (with two projects that shipped a month late). I think this project should land in August as planned, I don't see much that would draw it past that time frame.

When surveys get sent out (probably at the end of this month), there will be chances to add things, etc. This being my first time using Backerkit, I am still working some of that out and have a slight concern that backers who added things on during the campaign might be confused when offered add-ons again during the survey. If you have any questions at all during that process, reach out to me and I can tell you what you are already getting, so that you don't double order (unless you want to!). This is also true for folks that were part of the early bird deal and get the PDF of the "The Village" supplement for free. On that note, Backerkit allows for a "minimum order" add-on, so I will be able to offer (on the survey) a print version of "The Village" so long as a certain number of folks pick it up (I'm still running the numbers, but I think it will be a thing that will likely work out). If you have any questions during the survey process, email me at [email protected].

Appreciation and Impact
Well, I guess I'm burying the lead here; my main point was to just thank all you wonderful people for believing in me and my project. Thanks to all of you, not only do I get to keep creating, but multiple artists got some income, an editor gets an income, the folks at my badge-making vendor (a US company) get an income, and the folks at my local printers will be making an income. I think all of us just won at the game of microeconomics! 

Here's some of the new art. This is a haywire maintenance robot called HKN-B01t5. The poor thing just loves to weld and rivet - Alloy-steel, duraplastic, flesh - doesn't matter! In the adventure, the StarSpawn facilities AI sends the seekers down to a weapons vault to get some equipment (or they wander there on their own) and this thing is trapped between the seekers and the vault...
