Project Update: BREAKING NEWS: Jan-->Feb updates, cranking up the horror
Hello everyone,
January flew by and we have been busy with getting closer to completion. Things are really taking shape, and I am incredibly proud of how the project is turning out. I am excited for the next steps, so let me share some progress and what we have been working on since the end of the year:
Early Access V0.1 PDF feedback and quotes :
I have started receiving feedback from early access readers, and here is a high-level summary. I was genuinely touched by the kind words, especially around the following themes:
I have started receiving feedback from early access readers, and here is a high-level summary. I was genuinely touched by the kind words, especially around the following themes:
- (re)usability and flexibility
- strong thematic identity
- depth and escalation
- terrirfic art
- great character design
I also took the feedback to heart. Based on a question from Schmaron, I realized we could improve clarity early in the book, particularly around the PRESS Badge mechanic and how parts of the book can be reused in other adventures. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and help make BREAKING NEWS better for everyone.
Blasto:
Blasto:
“First impressions for me are great. I love the style, art and layout.”
“I’m really excited about being able to use it to create more of these types of mysteries.”
Schmaron:
“I’m very excited to run this.”
“The premise reminds me of ARKYVR, but it’s doing enough different that they’re in different niches.”
“The idea that your group’s note-taker can be mechanically rewarded for taking notes is a very fun idea.”
Cross-Collab :
I finally wrote a description I am very happy with for the two extra NPCs drawn by Mathieu Baguet, borrowed from the Red Nation universe. I also added an escalating side quest for each of them that reflects their conflicting agendas. I would strongly advise your players to choose carefully who they ask for help. :)
Artwork :
Haven has been very busy. The stretch goal stickers are finished, so go check them out! He is also ramping up the final illustrations needed to complete the book, including NPC portraits and blueprints of the Oracle Tower. These will also be included as handouts for convenience at the table.
Below is one of the latest portraits he sent me, and I absolutely love how it turned out.
Timeline :
Schedule-wise, everything is looking very good as we move toward final copy editing.
That's all we have for today, feel free to share your thoughts and questions.
