I'm super excited to make this post. I just turned in the final main manuscript to Greenspore, and they are working on one final pass of dev edits and then copy and line edits. We'll be holding our editorial committee meeting near the end of April, and the full committee will be as follows:

We'll be having a meeting of the minds to look over the completed manuscript at a very high level. We're going to figure out what still needs work before we put in the effort of layout. This team will also meet again once we have completed layout to look at the final book to ensure we are ready to go to print.

Alongside completing the main manuscript, I have also completed the manuscript for the solo prequel adventure, now titled The Halcyon, that will be printed on the sleeve for the vinyl containing music by Anthers and art by Zach Hazard Vaupen. I'm attaching a link to the PDF of this manuscript for backers only that you can play through now. It is an even further stripped down version of the solo gamebook Mothership engine that I developed for Cassette X. This is an emotional, narrative pair of adventures there is not a huge focus on mechanics. We're moving to layout for the vinyl shortly once we finish a few other back projects, so we should be ordering them for manufacturing in May or June.

Until next time,

Good morning!

We have a brief update about progress, we wanted to post this last week, but we missed the end of the short month of February. We continue to work out our style guide, but our biggest progress has been completing the entire script for Amanda's 7 full-spread graphic novel pages that tell the story of the final two weeks of Brianna Pilgrim's life. I'd never written a graphic novel before, only screenplays, ttrpgs, board games, and academic writing. This made me scared of this task, but it was actually a joy to complete once I discovered the manuscript format used by Dark Horse comics. I'm also so happy that I have such a tremendous artist who I trust to adjust blocking and dialog as she illustrates, I trust Amanda's taste immensely.

We are now on track to have the solo prequel adventure done this month, to give everyone something short and playable. We will also start to share PDFs of each level of the station as we complete them, but we will save the final level of the station (there are seven total) and the back half of the campaign for once the book is finalized. We want y'all to be able to see work while still saving some mystery. We also look forward to getting more eyes on each section as we layout because we can make adjustments as we complete the book.

Much love ❤️
Violet

Good morning!

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:

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.

Much love,
Violet
