Project Update: Thank You & What Next...

Hi Everyone!

We've funded and over the next 14 days or so BackerKit will be charging and processing the funds for the Campaign. There are some failed charges, which BackerKit will email you about if this has occured with your pledge, you will have, I think, until next week to double check and correct this.

Now continues/begins the next steps to fulfillment. I've put together a rough timeline. open image in new tab to enlarge.


 A graphic timeline showing plans for writing, editing, design and surveys out in march, mystery planning beggining, and editing complete in april, with surveys closing and extras ordered. In May the Game should be in the layout stage and the internal art coming in along with the extras. June, Layout will be ongoing whilst the ephemera is being organised. July, a completed layout will go for test printing with a final edit review. Any dixes and revisions will happen before dgitial delivery and going to print. August Shipping will be calculated and charged with shipping begining after copies arrive.



Things are subjects to change in that they might be completed earlier or later, but this is the current plan which builds in a bit of buffer either way. As you know a first draft is already with Brent (Our Fabulous Editor) and some playtesting copies containing the core game are out too. There will be some revisions based on incoming feedback this week and a more complete playtesting copy will go out to Bookshop Patrons later in the month along with their special survey.  Designs are being done and finalised for the extras and I've reached out to get started on the art for The Curators Notebook. The next time you'll hear from me is when funds are received and surveys are ready to go out towards the middle/ end of this month.

We didn't quite meet all of our community goals. However I will collate a plain text book list of the recommendations given with the cards and prompts for them, so if you want to still add your recommendations to the resource, please do. This is likely something I will do in May. We were super close to the Independent Bookshop goal, so i'll also include a plain text list of those and if I have spare time I will pick a few to create map fragments from.

So much appreciation for you all!

Lola

p.s. If you are in the UK and feel like travelling to Glasgow later this month for the Inaugural Groundhog Play, sign ups are open for another week for this free Playtesting Convention.
