Year of the Green Snake, Solar Edition
I'd planned to have an intermediate update around the 15th of December, but this month has been ... interesting. I lived through my first military coup attempt! Then our second daughter was born. Then the Korean president was impeached. Then the acting president was impeached. Then it was Christmas. Then my daughter and wife came home. Then there was a cataclysmic plane crash in South Korea. Then the New Year happened. And that's just right here and here.
If I saw this sequence of events in a story, I'd think the writer was putting it on a bit too thick. Bobbly (Frank is on union break), I'll just call the last three weeks "paternity-and-force-majeure" leave.
conveniently for the chaos of the last days, this spread got a sprucing-upping with new spot art and some more examples. Also, the corner art for the rules section on display.
THE WEEK BY WEEK
Week 17 - Dec 23–Dec 30
The Work: no, not this week.
More Korean Drama: The acting president is impeached. A plane explodes at Muan while attempting an emergency landing. This month has been wild.
Baby Days: baby and mom’s homecoming. Adapting to having more humans in the household. It’s a roller-coaster (see above).
Not Work: Christmas Greetings
***
Week 16 - Dec 16–Dec 22
VLG: I think I did some editing but due to baby days I can’t exactly remembers.
Korean Drama: Protests ongoing.
Baby Days: the second baby is doing well.
Restoring tables proceeds. I developed a phobia of tables back around 2022, when the shift from Affinity Publisher 1 to Affinity Publisher 2 destroyed the alignment on 300 pages of tables in a book I was working on. Now they return at last.
***
Week 15 - Dec 9–Dec 15
VLG Work (Tuesday): the last chapter I wanted to revise - the other paths (additional character options) is done. Every path now has its items in a table, ordered from most to least expensive. Phew!
VLG Art: some lovely new tailored spot art to round out a few headers.
Protests: Vast protests against the president who attempted a self-coup. On Saturday the 14th the president is impeached. Drama continues.
T-0 Week: Baby two arrived on Friday the 13th. All went well, despite the ominous date.
Call the Manager ... the editor's already tackled these spreads, but this screenshot is from before I tackled the tackles ...
***
Week 14 - Dec 2–Dec 8
VLG Work: implementing editor feedback to the rule section, reworking the other paths.
VLG Art: some lovely new tailored spot art to round out a few headers.
Coup Attempt: the South Korean president Soon Yool Suk ... uh ... tried to carry out a coup or autogolpe around midnight from Tuesday to Wednesday. That was certainly a thing.
T-1 Week: 1 week to go till baby two.
Look how wisely I leave so much space for any text edits once the text is edited ... I just bet I'll regret this at least a few times.

OK! That's it for _that_ update. Wow. Really, what a weird month.
And now the friendly reminder—if you want to see Luka's processed food factory floor through the perspex portals of Noö, you can join the stratometaship discord: https://discord.gg/sEc6suMCmE (link activated 2025.01.01). He checks in there basically daily, and you get to see sketches and art and ideas that never make it through to the final product.

Pledge Manager Survey
All pledge manager surveys have now been sent out to all backers. Thanks so much for your patience with that! If you have any questions or need assistance with your survey please reach out to us at [email protected].
The Pre-order Store is also now open. If you are a backer, be sure to access add-ons only through for survey as going through the pre-order store will create an additional pledge instead of accessing your original survey.
WIP PDF
We have also sent out the first work in progress PDF of the Equipment Chapter from The Vastlands Guidebook!
All backers with The Vastlands Guidebook as part of their pledge should have received an email informing you of this file in your pledge manager survey. Please reach out to us if you need help accessing it.
Hello! As I fill out my survey, it is a little unclear to me if the Ill-Nano & Jubilee cards are already included in the Gold Box (Golden Unboxer tier). If they are not, I would want to add them; but I do not want to add an additional set if they are already included. Can you clarify? Much appreciated! :)
In the pledge manager, where you see a list of items with cost, it shows a shipping cost of $22 for my pledge. However when I go the final payment screen, the shipping cost jumps to $47.20. Is that a glitch that needs to be fixed?
