Hello Monsters,

I'm taking a quick break in the middle of my holiday vacation to get out our last update of 2025. As a reminder, I'll be posting these updates once a month, just to check in on the various projects from the Crowdfunding campaign and make sure we're all in the loop and on the same page. For many months, they'll be pretty boring - just a note that the Onyx Path team are "still working on it" and we'll see only incremental progress. Still, I find it's better to touch base once a month even if we don't have any big news than to wait in silence while we all wonder what's going on.

So let's get to it!

While our main book is finishing up in final development before heading to preliminary art direction in the new year, there has been a bunch of advancement on our jumpstart stretch goal. The writer has turned in a first draft and now the developer is providing redlines - feedback and corrections needed to move this towards a final draft.  Many more dots to fill in for 2026, and I'll continue with our monthly updates so we can all track it as it goes.

Once a project finishes up on the progress chart and is distributed to backers, I'll move it down to this list and note which update talks about reward distribution for that item in case you want to go back and get more information.

You can read Onyx Path's most recent monthly summary, covering all projects and their status up to that point here: <November 2025 Project Status Summary>

You can find the weekly Monday Meeting blog updates <here>, which note any projects with status changes since the previous Month End summary. The project statuses listed are current as of last Monday, so do check it out each Monday night to see if anything may have progressed!

I will continue to post regular updates every month until the final reward has gone out.
