Project Update: 🧿Rift Wardens of the Nexus. Vault of the Elders. Digital Exclusives.
Creed's Codex: Echoes of the Shattered Age
99% of products are in backer's hands. There are a 4 of you who have run into shipment issues. I am working those with the fulfillment center, though it has been more drawn out than I was hoping. They keep getting hammered with inclement weather and have been closed. I heard back on Wednesday that they are working on them. I am expecting a follow up this week to close these issues out.
Rift Wardens Update
Rift Wardens is going substantially slower than I was planning. Expected release will be April.
- Bad news first. I ended up scrapping the manuscript. It was too complicated, the technical editor had hundreds of questions that would need to be answered, and it was not going to deliver the experience I was planning. I'm just about done rewriting it and will be sending it off to the technical editor in the next few weeks.
- It was a tough call to make, but I've done the struggle with trying to repair a manuscript with this level of rework needed. It wasn't worth it, and as painful as it is to discard something I've paid for, long-term I'm confident it's the right decision.
- We're approaching the finish line on the illustrations! The subclasses in particular are spectacular. Third subclass illustration should be wrapping up this week or next!
Vault of the Elders
The encounters, subclasses, and creatures are beginning to take form! I'm working closely with the writer who's bringing it all together, and there are some killer ideas here. I'll drop another update in April with the details on the timeline.
Tokens, Wallpapers, and Digital Art Pack
The final illustrations are getting added to the products. I'll publish an initial version next month, and then add any final illustrations that trickle in as part of the final two PDFs.
Next Project
I had an idea to animate the illustrations in a PDF based on some obscure documentation I found in InDesign. InDesign is the tool I use for manuscript layout.
I built a prototype, and it turned out unbelievably cool!

The next book will launch later this year once I wrap up everything from this project. Before I make the next book, I wanted to try animating a full pdf.
I'm running a mini kickstarter to test it, and it's live right now! Come check it out!

Talk soon,
