Wake up, crew! New update on the loose!

It's the very last day of the very last month of the year and I've got an update that has 75% great news and 25% middling news.

Let's start with the good stuff.

The digital files, according to our Revised Timeline, are good to go! That means:

Will be available to backers! ...

(here's the middling news)

So, you may have read in other places how Mothership Month projects are handling the pledge manager - the place where you can include add-ons to your order, catch items you may have missed during the campaign, etc.

In Mothership Month, we're doing a mega-pledge manager.

Which will allow you to do everything I listed above but for all your Mothership Month projects.

As far as we're aware, the mega-pledge manager is being built out specifically for Mothership Month (much like 2024's MoshMo was the first collaborative campaign on the platform). That means we're not just the first ones to use the mega-pledge manager - it's literally being built for us on the BackerKit backend.

(This is why you weren't given an email about surveys or filling out shipping information yet, in case you were curious.)

But! The wait is almost over. My understanding is that the mega-pledge manager is finished - it's just a matter of TKG putting in everyone's SKUs so that people have the right items attributed to them. I don't want to assume how long that will take, but my guess is that it will be Soon™.

All that said, you'll have to wait just a little bit longer for the files. As much as I would like to share the files some other way, I think best practice is to just wait until the manager is available and we can distribute files in an official capacity.

What I can do is give you a little peek at the files that are available so you can get an idea of what's coming to you shortly. That will be below, reserved exclusively for backers.

I hope you've all had wonderful holidays or, at the very least, some ample time off to play some games and spend time with loved ones. Maybe getting some Mothership in, hm?

In terms of scheduling updates, from here on out I think it makes sense to move to a once-a-month update. No doubt we're all getting enough emails as it is and frankly you don't need me telling you every week "Yep, still working on stuff!".

So, with that said, the next update will be at the tail-end of January in the new year. After that will be another one in February, then March, and so on. And then, before you know it, you'll be getting a very big, very magenta box on your doorstep, full to the brim with awesome stuff to run one hell of a Pound of Flesh campaign.

Until then,
- Nate
