Spirit Friends,

The campaign was such a success that we have a lot of art to make over here and are adding new material and art to the book as we speak. Showcased here are illustrations for the Early Bird card that early backers will receive, and a sneak peek at Tytus the Owl, one of the Midnight in Jubilation special cards. We also have a draft of one of the Spirit Ambassador cards (still pending approval by one of our generous backers) to show off a cute and angelic little snake.

We're also happy to announce that the pre-order store is up and running if you'd like to snap up one of the last two Spirit Ambassador spots to show off your own imagination or commemorate a beloved pet. This pre-order option will soon be removed and unavailable after we move forward with card and book prototypes. There are plenty of other goodies as well.

Thank you all so much for your aid in bringing this to fruition,
Justin

Spirit Friends,

Pocketopia was a blur, and in the final 24 hours, you unlocked the Passions stretch goal. You have all been wonderful and I deeply appreciate your support. Time to get to work.  

Truly, thank you.

p.s. the pre-order store is now available in case anyone wants a handmade print or missed their chance during Pocketopia.

Hi all,

Less than a day left in the campaign and we are at a point where unlocking the Passions, spirits with emotions for aspects, is achievable.

You all have done enough to support the campaign just by following and pledging. But if you haven't pledged yet, consider doing so now, because even though the game will be available after the campaign, the stretch goals can't be unlocked once the campaign is dkne. If you have pledged, please let another gamer or lover of nature and art know about it.

Reminder, we have two spirit extended family spots left and two spirit ambassador spots left. So if you want you and/or your spirit (or a spirit version of your pet) illustrated and included in the book or spirit cards, grab the last ones before it's too late (multiple got claimed yesterday).

Also please consider checking out my collab-partner Midnight in Jubilation, especially if you enjoy horror or solo gaming. 

Otherwise, all that's left to say is a deep 'thank you' for all your help bringing this odd, one-of-a-kind game to life. I'll see you on the other side of Pocketopia. 

Testing, testing. Is this thing on? Are we—oh we’re live?! Ahem. We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this special broadcast, live from Jubilation.

Hi there listeners! I’m Dorian Blackwood, the cross-collaboration partner of Free for All Media and the mind behind Midnight in Jubilation. With only a little over two days left of Pocketopia 2026, we thought it would be a great opportunity to stop by each other’s campaign pages and tell you a little bit more about our projects. We’ve already seen how much they’ve resonated with you, and for that we are so grateful. It’s fantastic to know that there are so many folks who share our love for narrative-rich, solo-ready games! It was also an exciting opportunity for me to provide descriptions for two Jubilation and night-time inspired Spirit Cards for My Very Own Forest Spirit, as part of our cross-collaboration.

But what is Midnight in Jubilation? Its not only a solo journalling game, it’s the culmination of my terrifying encounter with the film Pontypool many years ago, as well as my love of horror stories and weird fiction. At its core, it’s about flawed people facing a dark and uncertain world. One where you’re only ever a call away from discovering you’re not the one in control, and perhaps never were. In it, you play as the newest overnight radio presenter of Jubilation, a town that can’t seem to decide when or where it should be.

Midnight in Jubilation is presented in A5 format, with digital, softcover, and hardcover pledge options. All digital documents are compatible with screen readers, and have already been checked by both a sensitivity reader and an accessibility consultant. Very excitingly, we have recently unlocked even more content for the game, where backers will get to name someone on Mwaki’s Missing Persons List in the Appendix. But I am giving thought as to how even more flavour can be added to enhance its use in play.

So why not stop by and see what Jubilation has in store for you? For today’s song recommendation I’d like to leave you with Night Mail by Public Service Broadcasting.

And remember, you’ve been listening to Jubilation Radio. We are here and so are you.

Hello to all spirit friends,

It is with great gratitude that we announce that our $7,000 stretch goal has been left happily in the distance behind us.

The final few days of the campaign are upon us, and as such we've placed two new stretch goals, a spot on the horizon to aim for. Specifically, these unlock rules for playing with Spirits based on emotions (called Passions), and rules for Spirits based on celestial concepts like stars and planets (called Supernals).

In the interim, our layout artist has been busily zhuzhing book to make it as beautiful as possible. It is going to be a bit of eye candy, in addition to a balm for your spirit (no pun intended).

We will likely post at least one more update in the coming days, but that one will be in the proper spirit (that one was intended) of the event and focus on collaboration and friendship.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Justin
