Great news: All the modules are now complete, and I'm sending the files off to the printer to get proof copies back before I approve the full print run. While the printers are doing their thing, I'll be putting together the digital extras (like item cards and maps), and getting the itch pages ready. Download keys should be to you by the middle of the month, if not sooner.
This is happening a little later than I'd hoped; 'Leaves & Embers' proved a very ambitious and difficult project to work on; but, I'm very very happy with how it's finally turned out. I can definitely see a bit of Roach Motel's DNA in how I approached the layout, which makes sense since they were being worked on at the same time. I think the extra time in the oven was definitely worth it, the project is much better for it.
Shipping Soon
Since we're nearing shipping, I'll be charging cards soon, and then locking addresses. Make sure all your info is all correct, and sort out any errors if you get an email. If your card doesn't charge correctly in time, you'll miss the first wave of shipping!
An important note: If you're using a Discover card (or some other weird America-only card) your charge will fail with the default charging system (Stripe). To avoid this, please use the alternative payment option, PayPal, which I've just enabled in the pledge manager settings.
Bookmarks / Stickers
Fellow Mammal is working hard on the bookmark and sticker designs. I won't spoil the actual artwork, but check out this concept art for the characters that'll feature on the Mausritter half of it.
They'll be having a much better time than the characters on the Mothership half of the bookmark.
I'm super excited to see the artwork finished — you guys are in for a real treat!
That's pretty much it from me! Thanks so much for supporting my work, thanks for your patience, and I'm excited to finally — after what's felt like aeons — get this to you.
