Greetings, vislae—

This exciting campaign has reached its conclusion. (After an amazing four hours of Overtime Mode!) THANK YOU so much for helping us bring Invisible Sun: Indigo, The Electric Sun, and all the other new elements of the Invisible Sun RPG into being—and for unlocking the stretch goals that let us build them out toward our ultimate vision.

We want to tell you a bit about where things go from here—and we have some very exciting news for you—but first let’s give credit where credit is due:

While this campaign has been running, Monte has been working on The Electric Sun with Sean’s help, while also leading the rest of our design team—Bruce, Shanna, and our editor Dominique—as they keep our pipeline of products, including Dig Your Own Grave and All Your Gods Are Dead (for the Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game), The Darkest Woods, and Make Your Statement (for The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game) moving along on schedule. Monte, Bruce, and Sean have also been working on a pretty cool secret project—more on that below!

Bear and Javier designed bookmarks and wicked keys, imaged the forthcoming products, and handled the graphic design of this campaign—and they’ll make Invisible Sun: Indigo and The Electric Sun shine! With Teri, they’ve also been shepherding titles like Neon Rain and Gunslinger Knights through their production phase.

Jen, Olivia, and Kate have answered your questions (and are always available to provide support to you, our wonderful community) and managing MCG’s presence at events like UK Games Expo and the ACD distributor open house, both of which happened during this campaign.

Tammie has been steering the ship and keeping the logistics plates spinning. And Charles planned and ran this campaign (and is the author of this update!).

We are a small team, but we’ve worked diligently to keep all of our products coming while also running this campaign for future products. We all thank you very much for backing this campaign. We love making mind-blowing RPGs with beautiful production values and immersive experiences, and your support makes that possible.

Now, here’s what to expect as we move forward from here. Please read it—and remember, there’s a big announcement at the bottom of this update!

Running a crowdfunding campaign is hard work, so we’re looking forward to getting a bit of rest. You may not hear from us for a little while, but don’t worry. As we’ve said, Monte and the team is already at work on Indigo and The Electric Sun. We’ll post updates any time there’s news share. 

BackerKit began collecting pledges the moment the campaign closed. But it takes them a full two weeks to release those funds, along with the data on our backers.

In the meantime, we will get the pledge manager fully set up. The pledge manager gives us the information we need to fulfill your pledge and lets you manage your add-ons and make any pledge upgrades you want. We’ll notify you when we open the pledge manager, which should be in about three weeks. Please look out for, and respond to, that notification!

Once you’ve completed the pledge manager survey, we won’t need anything else from you until it’s time to start fulfilling rewards. We’ll be busy crafting Invisible Sun: Indigo, The Electric Sun, and the other items you funded, in the months to come. We’ll post regular updates, but if you don’t hear anything for a few weeks, don’t fret.

At the same time, please pay attention when you do get communications from us. Our emails and updates include critical information about your rewards.

Every time a reward is ready for you, we’ll contact you by email to begin the fulfillment process. Generally, we’ll direct you to the MCG Shop, where you’ll log in, “buy” the product (for free, because you’ve already paid for it through this campaign), and check out.

This is an important part of the process because it ensures we have accurate delivery information for every item we send out. (With thousands of backers getting rewards, it's amazing how many people will change their address over the fulfillment period.) You'll pay for shipping at that time.

Please pay attention to communications from us—don't let our updates or emails go to your spam folder, or otherwise ignore them, because if you do you could miss out on some of your rewards.

Thanks for your support!
—Team MCG
