Project Update: Early July Update!
Hey Liminal Horror Fans!
We wanted to provide an early July update on where we are at in the Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition journey.
PRINT PROOF ORDERED
Given the size of the book (432 pages) we ordered a sample copy from our printer. This will allow us to see how layout and design translates to the page. This will help us make color, margin, and gutter adjustments to make the best product we can.
It will also allow us to determine final weight and size, which is the last piece of the puzzle for the BackerKit survey and preorder pages going up!
BACKERKIT SURVEY
We are finishing up the BackerKit survey and are just waiting on final weights to be able to get accurate shipping estimates. Once those are in we will be launching the surveys. It is important that once those go out you finalize the info! That is also where you will be able to add any additional items. Completing the survey will also allow us to start the digital fulfillment. We will be doing 2 waves (the first wave including all the previously released content, and the second wave with the new content unlocked by the campaign).
PHYSICAL COPIES OF EINFÜHLUNG
A lot of people have been wondering about being able to order a physical copy of "Einfühlung", the Haunted House Starter Scenario Zine that was unlocked during the campaign. While we unlocked the digital version of this for all backers, we didn’t hit the 150k to get everyone a free zine. Despite this, we’ll still be able to print copies and make backers able to add them to their pledges. (trust me, you won’t want to miss out)
PREORDER STORE
We will be opening up the preorder store for those who missed out on the original campaign. This will be going up when the surveys launch (it is also waiting on the weights and info from our publisher).
DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS
What's an update without a look at where we are in the dev-process.
- Goblin Archives created a sample print file (all 432 pages) that includes all the already laid out portions (around 64% of the book is already laid out) and annotated to-be laid out sections (making sure everything fits within the planned space). We were able to include different design tests in order to see how they show up in print.
- Josh Domanski has been finishing up the final stretch goal included adventure Cult Classic for the book. That will proceed soon to editing and layout within the final text.
- Goblin Archives just finished the draft for "Einfühlung", a Haunted House Starter Adventure Zine. That will proceed soon to editing and layout into the stretch goal digital zine.
- Case Files 01 is in editing and will proceed to layout soon.
- The next steps for the project are
- Goblin to get the rest of the text into the layout templates created by Josh so that they can do the design alterations/punch ups.
- Finish laying out the supplementary zines.
- Line editing
- Annotating (Goblin gets to create a massive index and internal hyperlinking which he’s looking forward to with equal amounts of excitement, humility, and dread).
- Josh will finish the maps for the generic locations.
It is both a lot to do and the home stretch on most of it! We will be launching another update when the preorder store and backerkit surveys launch!
Best,
The Liminal Horror Dev Team
