It was AWESOME seeing this hit the goal right at the end, and I am geeked to get to work with Cezar on this!
This also means that the final game will have 8 total mysteries!
Thank you all for your support during the campaign. Because of you backing the project, we are not only able to update the base game into physical format but also more than double the number of pre-made mysteries included AND hire 5 amazing writers to add their XP to the project.
To keep you updated on how we plan to get this game out to you, I have our planned timeline below, and I'll be giving updates between now and fulfillment to highlight what work has been done so far and if there's any expected changes.
Current priorities are in bold and the rest of the schedule is shown for transparency. This may change (for example, if proof copies aren't looking great, we may need to order another round OR if the first proof is good, we may be able to fulfill early), but if it does, I will let you know ASAP and explain any adjustments.
