Project Update: February 2025 Update
Hello, all! There's been some silence on my end for the last few weeks so I wanted to check in and give an update on the status of the project.
As of today, what I hope to be the final proof before production has been ordered, with the inclusion of all submitted backer generated content. Provided that all is well with the new content in the book, once it is reviewed I will begin the process of getting books and PDFs sent out to all backers who qualify for them.
Due to print and shipping times, I hope to begin the fulfillment process towards the beginning of March, with an estimated arrival date of late March to early April. PDFs will be made immediately available for download here, while production and shipping will take some additional time. If there are any last-minute corrections that must be made, it might delay final fulfillment, but after the last review pass I am confident that this most recent proof will be the final one.
For the Stretch Goal the campaign hit, the Quick-Start Guide has also been written and designed, and is currently in the process of layout. Once completed, it will be gifted to all backers regardless of Tier as part of the project's overall fulfillment and be made available as a free digital download. It contains 15 starter characters and 10 templates for Missions. I had a lot of fun writing this content and it includes both some builds and Mission concepts that I had while playtesting that never got to see the light of day, so I'm very excited to share it with you all!
Thank you all for your continued patience and as we near the finish line I will keep lines of communication open to keep you informed of the project's progress.

Project Update: Update 12/17/24 - Locking Orders
Hello, all! Reaching out to say that as of this evening, after some delay to accommodate late responders, I have locked orders, charged cards, and confirmed shipping addresses for all backers who have submitted their surveys. There are still a few people I'm waiting on to complete their survey, and I will be extending the final deadline to January 3rd, 2025.
Please submit your survey if you have not done so! I need the names that will go into the book and final shipping addresses if you are receiving a physical copy.
Furthermore, the first pass on Custodian backer content is nearly done. I am just waiting on one last response and feedback from a selection of backers who have been sent their first draft. If you are in one of these two categories, please send me any feedback you have when you can so I can do my own internal edits and finalize things.
At present, I'm on pace to ordering the next and potential final proof in early January and shipping things out in either February or March of next year. Thank you all for your correspondence and continued support. I'll hopefully be reaching out again in a couple weeks with some more good news.

Project Update: Survey Update 12/2/24
Hello, all!
We're closing in on the completion of all surveys with only a few more to go before I can lock in orders. I can't charge cards for shipping or complete the list of credits until all surveys are completed so please fill yours out as soon as you can if you have not done so already.
Furthermore, if you are a Custodian Tier backer and haven't finished sending me your concept for the NPC or Android you wish to add, please respond to any prior correspondence as soon as possible! I'm going to try and finish all of the new additions before the end of the year so I can hopefully order a new proof before the end of 2024 and make any final adjustments at the start of next year.

Project Update: Survey Update 11/15/24
Hello everyone! Thank you for your diligence over the last week.
As of today the majority of surveys are in. I'm currently waiting for 11 more answers and then I can lock in orders and charge shipping as well as add-on fees. If you have not completed your survey, please consider doing so as soon as possible. While you still have plenty of time, the sooner all surveys are completed the sooner credits can be added to the book and the sooner I can start work on Custodian pledge content if you pledged at that level.
On that note, I've begun coordinating with Custodian tier backers to create their additions to the game. If you have not yet received communications from me expect it either today or Monday next week.
Thank you all again for your support! I'll continue to post progress reports as things get done.

Project Update: Surveys Are Out
Hello all! As of a couple minutes ago surveys have been sent to all backers.
As a reminder, the due date for survey submission will be December 6th. While that should give plenty of time for you to fill it out, please try to do so in the next couple of weeks. The faster surveys are completed, the faster the final product can be put together and shipped out to backers.
Hope to hear from you all soon and don't hesitate to ask if you have questions!
