Hey friends! We have some updates on Letty things we'd like to share.

For those of you in the Chicagoland area, Letty will be making an appearance at Horner Park on Wednesday. Her mom will be with her and they will be giving out special Valentine's Day cards. Well, cards for the dog parents, but special treats for her friends!

We partnered with Barry Sweets, a local Chicago baker who makes wonderful human-treats, and irresistible dog treats. Part of the sweetness includes how Barry Sweets repurposes leftover grains from breweries into flour for their creations. Since Letty and her core group of friends like spending time at dog-friendly breweries, we kept running into places in Chicago that had Barry Sweets' dog treats, so we said "HEY! Let's get a LOT!" (And then Letty's mom gave me a glare and I had to scramble and repurpose an idea (from one of our own backers, here) to create Valentine's treats. So here we go!) You can check out more about Barry Sweets over on Instagram. Letty's @AdventuringLetty account is already a follower over there, you could drop a follow, too. (Just not when you're hungry, though, it's a tough account to browse if you're hungry.)

Here's a little preview of what we'll give the dog parents. We're hoping sharing the love at the dog park will also help us push closer to our campaign goal. But for those of you already here, here's a little gem about Adventuring Letty after the campaign.

Our campaign is on track to be successful, slow and steady, but we're on our way. After we're successful and all of our backers have received their rewards, we'll start digging into the second phase of Adventuring Letty. We have planned out a handful of mini "Adventures" that we'll want to make after the core game. Think of this campaign as building the "everyday adventures" of Letty (and Melissa). These other "Adventures" are more specialty things that Letty and Melissa do, together. Our BackerKit Exclusive sticker, for example, the one of Letty sunbathing, that's from a "Camping Adventure." Ghost stories by the fire, cuddling in the text, lifeguarding mom while she swims in the river, (and more!) are all apart of that adventure. In these Valentines (above) we're using an illustration from "Beach Day" where Letty's chasing her friends. And we're using two images from the "Play Dates" adventure, where Letty and her friends are cuddling on the couch, and enjoying treats!

In our next update I'll share a bunch of the greatness about Letty's friends.

Oh also in some good news: we had a few folks express interest in a retail-level pledge to both support the campaign and get a few extra copies of the game to sell at a retail level after the campaign is successful. As a general rule of thumb, anyone looking for more than a dozen copies of the game will be encouraged to utilize the retail pledge. (Right now there are only 3 of you, and that's ok. We're just excited about the interest.) We'll have an added pledge level for retailers before our next update.

My hands are currently covered in peanut butter and I may have ruined this keyboard. I've some Valentine's Cards to package up. Oh and finalizing the "How to play" video! That's taken me entirely too long but should be coming real quick.

No backer-exclusive sneak-peaks today. (If you're a backer, the last two updates have backer-exclusive content. It's cute, too. You should check it out!) This is the whole update. <3 

I will reiterate what I do every update and interaction: sharing out the campaign to your network helps us immensely. Please consider sharing the Letty love with your people!

Much Love,
-Mr. Nick
