Project Update: Last Week of Funding! + Stretch Goals + WIP Art
As of this morning we’re sitting at $3,804 funded with less than 5 days left in the campaign. Over the past two weeks, we’ve been blasting past our first two stretch goals (meaning we’ll be adding more inspiration tables and printable reference cards). We’re closing in on our 4k stretch goal where we’ll add 5 cities chosen by the backers as quick-starts to the game. See below for a sample of what that will look like for a local favorite Houghton, MI.
We’ve been fortunate enough to get some amazing coverage for the game now added to the campaign page including a feature by zine aficionado JP Coovert.
Development progress is continuing including new artwork and rules revisions. Here’s some early concepts for members of the “Myths” community done by Chris Carson II.
In terms of campaign progress we’ve had to do some recalculations based on the $600 we received from the “Art’s Patron” tier. The money for that reward largely goes to paying the illustrator so it was important to recalculate expenses to have an accurate understanding on how that affected the campaign’s journey to profitability. We’ll still be delivering on everything promised but the adjustment puts our break-even point closer to $4500.
