Our Backers can expect The Color Dome as a complete Area this week! Our Lead Artist Shan Bennion is doing some final touchups on the art and then it will be on its way.
The Gravity Isles have moved through copy editing and markup, the ephemera is complete, and our layout artist Cris is putting it all together.
Project C-1019 is officially in production. We expanded the material earlier this year and now it's getting a bit more of a facelift by Sean D’souza.
Rockwater Isles is being taken up by Laya Liebeseller. It’s already gone through a developmental edit, and is on its way to line editing before the end of the year!
In Sujatha’s Journal:
Fallen Gods, Ajmniea, Alfira, and Bacha Lineages are all well into development.
Fallen Gods have been given to our layout artist.
Ajmniea and Alfira are going through some final editing.
Bacha have just begun with their first draft!
Working on Project C-1019 means the Chell and El’ell have officially moved into production.
In the world of mechanics:
The next draft of Calibration has been sent to our Backers! It still needs some information like examples of our character journals and group sheets, but the text is finalized and laid out!
The CGLA is going through a Line Edit and the in-progress document will be shared on our Discord in January!
Character Journals and Group Sheets are being worked on actively right now. We’ve met and ideation has begun. We’ll be using the CGLA to build out a Group and set of Characters for our layout artist to use to make our sheets.
Through the last couple of months Laya and Sylvan have been working on how to standardize Proficiencies and have completed an internal document called The Anatomy of a Proficiency which gives our designers more direction in building. Sylvan has officially started the redraft of both Conversationalist and Cooking!
Adventure Modules:
Brighton: A Gravity Isles module that focuses on small town politics and cult mysteries is through its first Developmental Edit.
Reviewing our Form: We have two forms of modules, one that builds out a location more fully and one that provides an act-based adventure. We are reorganizing our location modules for readability with the help of our editor Lauren Maddox.
Other Material:
Four Smol Inn Reviews have gone through editing.
All Gambling Dens are in editing and will be sent out to our Patreon subscribers in early December.
All Fishing Spots are in editing and will be going out to our Patreon subscribers in early December.
Laya Liebeseller has begun the writeups for our mechanical histories, starting with character sheets. Readers will have access to the old character sheets we made through the years of Confluence development.
In early to mid-January we are set to send out the following in-process documents as a package:
Calibration
The CGLA
Character Journals and Group Sheets
2-4 Proficiencies
2-4 Lineages
Area: The Color Dome
Area: Gravity Isles
Brighton - location module in the Gravity Isles
We will be sending the packet out directly to Backers via email.
Although we will not be doing another official playtest, we will be sharing some of these documents in the playtesting Discord server, should anyone wish to play around with the updated material.
Eerie Games is in need of more time for the Act One of the Fates of Those Who Dream. Although both of these games are important to us, life outside the work does take precedence.
Laya and Scott are working together to see what can be done given the current circumstances. The folks here at Confluence and Eerie Games appreciate your patience. We’ll have an updated timeline as soon as possible.
Did you know we have a community Discord? Join today!
You can still pre-order Confluence! Backers will enjoy early access to content as we complete it over the next year.
