Hi all! Another late update this month but we are getting very close to the finish line. I am working on putting all the final details into layout and design for the book and poster. I have also started layout and finalizing the writing for the bonus pamphlet. Then after a copy-editing pass we will be getting printing done. Here is a WIP of a floor spread that is pretty close to the final look:

Thank you for bearing with me with the delay in schedule, I'm excited to get the final product in everyone's hands!

Apologies, another late update this month! May flew by. I continue to make good progress and the floor maps are now all pretty much done!

From the beginning I wanted the maps to have a blueprint-like style to them, so I've been trying to balance that abstract look vs. what items are literally present. I didn't want to clutter rooms with objects, having them be more representative than literal while still conveying useful information about what is in the room. I'm pretty happy with how they came out!

In other news, the tower network map and corresponding poster are nearly done as well. The manuscript is still undergoing editing.

All in all looking at our timeline, we are a little behind schedule, but I would say not too much.  Everything is really starting to come together and I'm excited to move into the printing stage and getting everything out to backers soon!

Hello everyone and happy (end of) April! Sorry for the late update this month, I just wanted to make sure I had something significant to share, and I do!

I got all the manuscript into layout along with a major writing pass, so now it's ready to pass off for another round of editing. Since layout is mostly complete, this means we are well on track. My next focus is getting the design of the full network map done, both for the Deluxe poster and the version that will end up in the zine, as well as finishing up the floor maps. Those and two more art pieces from Chao are the last major steps for Death Pays All Debts! 

Additionally all the patches have been created and were shipped to RV Games, I'm really happy with how they turned out. 

Excited to be making progress! Catch you all next month!

Hi all! Another month down! Just a minor update this month, things are proceeding on schedule. Now that the initial dev edit pass is done I’m going through and getting the manuscript into layout and polishing up the writing. The final form is starting to take shape which is exciting!

Getting layout done is also helping show gaps where I can fit some more artwork, which will probably be a combo of pieces I do and some more commissions from Chao. 

Hoping by next update I’ll have some spreads more or less finalized to share. Until then, I’ll keep plugging away!

Hello! It's February and things with Death Pays All Debts are moving along.

Writing and Editing
On the writing side, Christian is continuing through the dev editing pass which is nearly done. Then I'll get to re-writes to tighten everything up. I have also started writing the final form of What Dreams May Come, the bonus pamphlet reward for all Mothership Month projects funding.

Once dev editing is done I think we'll be able to move quickly to finalize the manuscript and get it into layout for the last copy-editing passes.

Illustration
We have wonderful interior NPC illustrations by Chao complete!

Logistics
I have worked with the patch vendor and gotten final designs finished and approved, so they are in the process of being created now!

Thant's all for now!
