Smoke tests have just gone out!
As long as there are no hiccups along the way, we should be about to send out the rest of surveys Tuesday morning. :)

And here's a peek at one of the new pieces of art for the game! We only asked for female + hijab + cards in hand. I think our artist knocked it out of the park! <3

Thanks for all your support! 47 of you believed in the game and the music, raising $2186 CAD (that's just over $1550 USD!) towards making both a reality. After we take a short break we'll start setting up the pledge manager, and you should have surveys in a couple of weeks as soon as the funds release to us. We will have a few other Fool's Moon products available in the pledge manager, so if you're curious to check out some of our past games as well, you can get them all together!

Since our collab partner did not fund, we will discuss with them how to offer the collab bonus that wasn't reached, since the adventure on our end is complete. As mentioned in the comments of a previous update, we may add it to the pledge manager for a couple of dollars CAD and give it to our partner to offer future backers when they relaunch their project at another date. We'll let you know what gets decided!

We sadly did not quite reach the stretch goal for Downupright to expand the music into a longer album, but they still want to explore additional tracks, so if we can close the distance in the pledge manager and preorder store to reach the goal there's still a chance for more music! So if you know people who might enjoy the game or the music but missed the campaign - let them know they can still late pledge here: https://troubleseekers.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders (it will open when surveys go out so don't worry that you don't see anything there yet).

Our current projection is to have things in the mail by September 1st. We anticipate fulfilling prior to then, but we'd rather speculate longer and not need it than shorter and find we have to apologise if something arises to delay.

This is the LAST DAY you can back for Troubleseekers! Help us get a full album of music for the game!

Check out the campaign, and give the soundtrack a listen. We just added another new track!

We have another track up: Theresa Infiltrates the Club.
Give it a listen! 

And have a peek at more characters  :)

As we settle in to the quieter mid-campaign period, we thought we would share some of the sample characters with everyone!

Meet Drew, a Troubleseeker, and Reginald, one of the Oligarchs they fight against.
