Hey folks!

Sorry for the late update. Ryan, the writer, had to have a lot of dental work done in February. Additionally, our copy editor had to leave the project abruptly. That said, over all things are going well!

Right now we have two big pieces of good news:

Wait, what does done-ish mean?

Well, this project was intended to be a lot shorter... but have more content and more art. Two things that are obviously mutually exclusive. This happened because Ryan is TERRBILE at estimating page count. We are currently looking at a roughly 60 page layout outline, once all the text is put on paper and given room to breathe and interspersed with art. The reason we say it is "done-ish" is because there are a few short, minor sections we'd like to it in, but it really depends on what we can fit into the zine without making it too thick to staple. We are going to be taking a serious look at what additional, nonessential content from the outline we can tetris into the layout once we get further along. As I'm sure y'all know by now, this is a work of passion for all of us on the team. If we could fit everything in, without ruining the centerfold or overwhelming you with TL;DR nonsense, we would.

Speaking of writing...

Once we've done some copy editing, we'll be previewing more of it. Our first priority are the patient generator and the premade, VIP patient missions. Those, large chunks of the zine are going to determine how much we can fit in elsewhere. Additionally, we really, really, want to make sure we convey the crunch in a way that is easy to digest.

Also...

Have an art.

Gratefully yours,

The Straight Arrows Team
