First and foremost, we have a Backerkit preview of the adventure ready for you! Keep an eye on your Inbox with instructions on how to download it from Backerkit. You should see that come through in the next 24-48 hours.
Please keep in mind, this is a preview; I'm still waiting on a couple more art pieces and some final editing notes but I wanted to get this in your hands for release as soon as possible. The final / v1.0 release will also have corrected cross references and hyperlinking.
Please take some time with it and let me know what you think in the comments. You can also use this form for typos or any other feedback you wish to provide.
Patch Feedback
Additionally, we have a vote coming that I want to get your opinion on. I've already revealed the 48-Hour Bonus Patch that for the Physical and Physical+ Reward Tiers but I want your opinion on the standard patch that comes with the Physical+ Tier. So please keep your eye out for the upcoming Poll on which patch comes with your reward!

PS. I'm so sorry this release has taken so long but I hope that you all enjoy some psychokinetic shenanigans in PK49 and look forward to your feedback!
Sorry for the late update! Combination of the short month (which always gets me) and a minor family health scare threw off my schedule.
I'm so close to wrapping up layout on the v0.1 draft for PK49. I should have a Backerkit preview draft ready for your eyes within the next few days.
In the meantime, here are some internal spreads to show you what I've been working on as well as Mykell Pledger's amazing character art.
For those of you that aren't aware, this zine has been heavily inspired by the Acid Graphics (or ACD GFX) art scene and design style. So there are going to be lots of beautiful looking spreads to separate the sections of the module and help with wayfinding. Finding a balance between making it look cool and legible and useful has been a task-and-a-half. But I think it's been worth it.
Also, I've gotten several messages outside of Backerkit saying how excited people are for this release so I hope it lives up to the hype. I just want to say a special thank you for the kind words in those messages.
Thank you as always for your support and everlasting patience as I wrap up this project.
As promised in my last update, I wanted to provide a revised timeframe for fulfillment and delivery. Please see that below!
I also wanted to make a minor note in regards to the additional rewards along with some of the content to expect in PK49. This primarily affects the 48-Hour Backing Bonus patch.
In the original campaign, I had a mockup for one of the possible patches that would be offered. Originally this was going to be a diegetic patch for one of the factions that your players could help. That of the military organization called the Eighth Assault Infantry. After digging into this adventure and re-writing some of it, this faction is, instead, going to be a main antagonist for your PCs' Crew and the NPCs they encounter along the way. They're the bad guys and I hope that comes across in the writing.
So it didn't really make sense for that to be part of the real-world rewards that comes with your copy of PK49. That in mind, any rewards that offered that patch I'm going to switch with the TR4CK3RZ faction that you all voted on a couple updates ago.
This won't be a major change but I just wanted to address it in case it comes up down the line.
Anyway, that's it for this update. Will have some more in-progress shots for you all shortly. Thanks as always for your support!
Apologies for the delayed updates and missing my last window. But! some of the personal issues I was dealing with and mentioned in the last update have finally cleared up. This will allow me to get back on track with work for PK49. This update will be brief but I wanted to be sure to get you something before the end of the year.
So with that in mind, I'll have a more detailed update for you all within the next week or so. This will include a revised timeline and some WIP screenshots of layout (which has been kicking my butt).
Apologies for the extended turnaround time for this project and thanks as always for your support and backing.
Apologies for the late update. I have been dealing with some personal issues that pushed out updates and digital distribution. I'll have a more detailed update for you all shortly. And, if I set it up correctly, the surveys for digital distribution should be going out soon as well.
