Hi! With around 4 days left of the campaign, just a small update for all my awesome backers and followers!
Reddit Deep-Dive
A couple of days ago I did a Reddit deep-dive. In it I go into a bit more detail about some of the mechanics of the death-game, and how the adventure is structured. Give it a read and ask me any questions there if you're interested!
Shipping Estimates
I now have shipping estimates from Tuesday Knight Games! TKG is handling the shipping for most MM25 projects, making much shipping more affordable for those who will be backing multiple projects. Please check out the HUNTERS campaign page for more information.
Concept Sketches
Here is a little peek behind the curtain of how I develop the art for HUNTERS. Because I'm both the writer and the illustrator, there is a circular relationship between the text and the images: I try to draw what I've written in the text, discover issues with it or cool new ideas, and that in turn is folded back into the text. Or, conversely, I will start with a striking image and work backwards.
concept sketches collage: these are some highlights from my sketchbook
Officer Knight (pictured above) is one of the Target NPCs that players will meet. They are an old and defective security android from back when the dream was a corporate station; and have been thrown into The Hunt because people are sick of them following their outdated programming and "arresting" random citizens.
With the old corporate Station Security and Control being a major location players can explore, Officer Knight is a good example of how I'm trying to weave in hooks, clues and connections between the NPCs, the Hunters, the locations and the wider world of Prospero's Dream.
A couple more things...
We are closing in on the $35,000 stretch goal to make the trifold adventure The Castle of The Green Man a PHYSICAL reward for all physical-tier backers!
