GLIDE 2 is now available in digital form. You probably have already received an email with your link to download it, but if not, feel free to use the following:
I'm working on finalizing the the print copy of the game now. This should take a week, then 1-2 weeks for the proof to arrive. I will be back with another update once this happens. Around the time of the next update will be the final notice for charging of all payment, plus updating of addresses as needed.
Enjoy Eridoor! If you have any feedback, please email me at: [email protected]
[EDIT] I've added DriveThruRPG integration for the digital distribution. You can access GLIDE 2 through your Pledge Manager (click here if you're missing yours: https://glide-part-two.backerkit.com/).
Update for May -- all the artwork is now finished by HODAG!

What this means is I'm now working 100% on the layout and revisions for the final game. I'm currently sitting at 153 pages, which is way more than I was expecting, and this is before the art being added. I'll be cutting some this down, hopefully closer to 120 total pages.

I'll be back in June with an update on the layout progress and with a better date as to when you can expect to see GLIDE 2 in your mailbox. Please not that payment will only be charged about a week before the orders will go to print and I will provide notice of this prior to.
Thank you for the patience on GLIDE 2. I'm excited to share the final product with everyone very soon.

The art for GLIDE 2 is now being done byHODAG. This change comes after talks with Evlyn concerning deadlines and estimated shipping time. Unfortunately, she is unable to complete the artwork at this time due to a large couple of commissions needing to be addressed before GLIDE would hit the table.
I've worked with HODAG on a few other projects and they have guaranteed all the artwork to be finalized by the end of May. I'm happy to share a concept piece that I commissioned last year (see below). I believe that HODAG can capture the fantasy/sci-fi mix I envision for GLIDE and am very excited to see what they come up with.

The core rules have reached an estimate 90% completion, with the total pages hitting 140! These additional rules won't be shared for play testing as it is mostly lore, background information on rules, and more tables. The total size of the project is likely to be slightly decreased as artwork is added to the layout.
I'll be back soon with more information, as it arrives!
A big thank you to everyone who supported the project! Thanks to you we reached over 300% of the asking amount, providing more funding towards additional artwork from Evlyn!
What comes next is me working on the game, finalizing the missing pieces and adding each to the playtest package (essentially the full game without proper layout and artwork). Feedback on the game has thus far been great! People are really loving the expanded events and interactions across the world. I'm addressing concerns and questions as they come in, so be sure to grab a copy of the playtest if you've not already:
I hope to be back very soon with some previews of the artwork. Evlyn is currently wrapping up a few other projects, so the wait may be a bit longer, but it will be well worth the wait!
Thank you to everyone who made the project possible. We've reached funding after just over 24 hours!
I didn't include any stretch goals for the project as essentially I want to put all that I can toward Evlyn and her artwork. As more backers make their way in, we work towards getting even more artwork for the final project. I want to fill this book with everything I can, giving a strong foundation for players to explore and providing a jumping-off point for creators to expand their world through homebrew.
What's Coming Next?
I will be releasing additional play test materials in the coming weeks. These will include rules for Guilds, Unique Locations, and options for spending your Credits for Upgrades and Gear/Equipment.
As well, a few players of the original GLIDE have asked about porting their characters to this new version. I am finalizing some rules for this process, which is quick and easy, and allows for you to keep your map, no matter how big it may be!
I'll be back very soon with more. Until then, enjoy exploring the world of Eridoor.

So I found a way to get the link for the files, but it was a very obscure, complex process to find it. My question is how was I supposed to be notified and be able to easily download the files?
<tldr> I was browsing Itch.io and I saw that Glide 2 was in the list of newly available games, and I thought to myself "Wait, I was a backer and I hadn't been notified of my digital copy?!"
So I searched my email first and nothing since the May update. I went to the project page and nothing there. I tried Manage Your Pledge and there was nothing there, either.
I went to Your Pledges in my Backerkit account and saw a tab for "Your Digital Rewards" ... it wasn't there either.
I tried the Your Surveys tab and clicked on my Glide 2 survey ... THERE! There was a button for Get Your Digital Downloads, which took me to the Itch page and allowed me to link to my Itch account.
I just feel like there should have been an email notification alerting that the files were ready and where I needed to go to collect them. Also, I'm not sure why there wouldn't be an entry for it under the Your Digital Rewards tab.
