Hello Crewmates!

Got the first print proofs for the card the other day! They look great! The colours pop, they feel good to play with, and they're nice and sturdy. I need to do a bit of fiddling with the layout, then I'll send off the updated card designs for another round of printing. I'll also start working on the box design so I can get a proof of that at the same time. Hopefully I can get those by the end of this month/early in May.

Just updated the early access files with some rules clarifications and fixes. Still not 100% finished but we're getting there. I'll also be working on the exclusive cards and game mode for folks who backed both this project and my collab partner!

Also the funds just hit my account today! Woohoo! Once everything is good to go I'll be sending out reward surveys. And I'll be reaching out to folks who got zines for their mailing addresses soo as well.

Talk soon!

Hey Crewmates,

Thank you all so much for your support! We've successfully funded and the campaign is at an end. So, what's next?

Well all backers already have early access to the game, and the digital version is very close to being complete. I have a bit more testing to do and some cleanup for the card designs and rules. I also need to work on a more printer friendly version of the cards, but once that's done the digital version of the game is finished.

I also need to finish the design of the exclusive cards and game mode for folks who backed my project and my collab partner. 

As for the print version, I'm still waiting on the first print proofs of the cards to arrive from DriveThruRPG. I also need to make and get a print proof for the card box. Once that is done the cards should be good to go and I'll be sending out the complimentary copies to backers. Remember if you got physical cards you'll still need to pay for shipping.

Once each version is complete I'll be sending out the rewards survey and getting info from people. And that should be it! Not quite sure on the timeline since I need to wait on DTRPG and shipping, I also have several other projects that need my attention. But I think this should take around 2-3 months, and as soon as I have any updates, I'll be letting you all know.

Again, thank you so much!

Hey Crewmates,

Red letter day today folks. I finished playable versions of all the game modes. All the rules for playing Escape, Hunt, The AI, and Chaos, and all the actions and cards you need to play them. Backers can see them right now following the details at the bottom of this update.

Also I just got a notification over the weekend that the print proofs of the cards have been sent my way. Now I just have some more playtesting to do, design the tuckbox, and do any print revisions, and the game is done. I also need to put together the cards and game mode for the backer of both Escape the Kronos and Escape the Lighthouse Keeper.

The campaign ends in about 3 days, so if you want to secure your digital or print copies, please back now!

Thanks!
-Michael

Hello crewmates!

We've got about 1 week left in the crowdfunding campaign for Escape the Kronos! We've funded so that means:

- 3 additional game modes
- 7 additional cards
- Printed card decks

Thank you all so much for backing the game! Please spread the good word to your other card playing friends! Word of mouth is the primary way folks find out about my games so please don't underestimate the difference just a shout out on social media can make.

All backers get access to the current digital print-and-play files and rules so you can start playing right away. Backers can also get copies of my physical TTRPG zines as add-ons: The 55, Fealty, Dungeon Local 001 and more!

Want to see how the game plays? Check out this video of me explaining the game and playing a few rounds.

My Pocketopia partner has also funded! I've partnered with Morgan's Escapes and their escape room experience Escape the Lighthouse Keeper so if you back both projects you get additional puzzles from them and more digital cards from me!

Talk soon crewmates!
