February Update: More Art From Zach Hazard
Good evening!
This month’s update will be short. We’ve been clearing our plate of 2024 projects over the last month, and we continue to make progress on Blood Leeches.

We sincerely apologize for the lengthy delay since our last update. It has been a crazy fall full of distribution projects, and in my personal life, sick kids and a divorce. This does mean that I am now the sole owner of RV Games, my ex-wife no longer has a stake in the company. We haven't been standing still on the project, we've just been lagging on communication. Here's where we are with a status update:
The score from Anthers, which is also featured on the solo vinyl adventure, has been completed and fully mastered. We'll share a link to this in the backer only content just like how we shared the rougher version in an earlier update.
I'm doing my final editing passes on the solo prequel adventure, and we're finishing up the final touches of layout on the vinyl. This means that in our February update we should be able to share a digital version of this adventure for everyone, and the records will enter into production at the start of next month.
Sam Wildman is making great progress on maps.
We've been nailing down our style guide for layout of the main book by first working on final layout for the standees and cards. We have a few different options that we will choose from, and then we move to laying out the main book, it will go smoothly.
I'm still working on making some pieces of the full book manuscript to work the way I would like them too, but we hope to have our editorial meeting to lock it down near the end of February.
Thank y'all for supporting us with our largest project ever. It's a journey, and outside life continues and doesn't care about the work.
It's been a little bit since I made my last update. This summer has been heads down production on a few projects, so I apologize for the silence. I've been working on adding more "glue" to the world. We have the main, most obvious line through the module, but I'm now working on adding side content: union or corporate bounties, bounty hunters, small mysteries and items, etc. We want Trellick station to be absolutely packed, the module should be pretty overwhelming when it is complete.
The coolest thing that we have to share is a rough mix of the score from Anthers for the solo gamebook vinyl. It will be going in for a final mix in September, so we will soon have the entirety of this element of the project done except for physical production. When we have a final mix and have a digital version of this solo prequel story, we will share it with backers early this fall. The rough mix from Anthers is linked below.
Finally, we want to let you know about the next project from 5 Million Worlds Press and Chris Airiau that RV Games will be distributing. It's a build-your-own dungeon Mothership zine launching on September 23.
I apologize for the late update, but I wanted to shift updates to the middle of the month instead of the end of the month, so I waited a couple weeks longer. I've been writing away at the dungeons and regularly meeting with my editor, I'm really slow, and the progress is good. We're on track to start layout by the end of summer, and things will move quickly as we move into that phase of the project. We have already started laying out player aids and accessories, so there is also progress on that front.
A couple of weeks ago, Anthers, who is providing the music for the vinyl gamebook, did a show in Oakland, and I was able to attend! One of the members of the band is someone who I've known for over 20 years, so it was great to see him play. They've worked out the entire score for the vinyl, and they are on track to go to the studio this month. I got some fun analog photography of Oakland and the venue where they were playing, and I'll share some of those with you here.

Thank you everyone for your support as I continue to build this ambitious project!
