Project Update: Wages of Sin Backer Draft v0.1 available for download!
Hey gang,
We’re releasing the Wages of Sin Backer Draft v0.1 today! You should be receiving an e-mail shortly, otherwise just login to your backerkit account and you'll find it. This version contains all content everything except the ODC Prison Complex section at the end of the book. A few diagrams and maps are still in progress, but the rest of the book is ready for your eyes. I'm gonna pass things over to our Creative Director, Adam, who can explain more about the draft:
Hi backers! I’m Adam, Creative Director at TKG and first off I’ve got to thank y’all. The success of Wages & Mothership Month is what helped Sean and Alan feel confident enough to bring me on full-time, so cheers to all of you. I’m super excited for you to get your hands on this (and to see what we have coming…)
Wages is a beast. When the manuscript was handed off to me at the beginning of the year, I knew I had something incredible in my hands. We thought it might be a 200-page book at first. Nope! At 320+ pages (and counting), Wages of Sin has nearly as many pages as the entire Mothership catalog combined, and definitely has more NPCs and location maps.
As mentioned in a previous update, you'll see some elements in this draft that are marked "scan incomplete", etc. Sean and I will be tag-teaming the remaining visuals throughout the rest of the month, but we wanted to get the majority of the content in your hands in the meantime. Just in time for your traditional 4th of July Mothership-by-fireworks sessions.
Additionally, and critically, the book has not gone through PDF remediation yet. So the final version will have hyperlinks and be optimized for PDF readers, etc.
Where do I find the download?

Until next time!
Just wanted to check in before June wraps up. We’ll have a longer update at the end of the week, but here’s where things stand: We’re finishing up the backer draft of Wages right now and plan to distribute it to you all later this week (🤞). This version will include everything except the ODC Prison Complex, which is fully written and in rough layout, but not quite in a shareable state yet.
A few things to note:
- Some maps, diagrams, and illustrations are still being finalized and won’t be in this version.
- The draft has been edited, but not proofread, so expect a few rough edges.
- We’ll include a link to an online form where you can submit errors, typos, or feedback, so we can roll it all into the final draft.
- We'll talk more about surveys, charging cards, and distributing PDFs for everything else in the next update!
Thanks again for your patience and support, we're getting close. As always, if you have any issues, please reach out to Tyler at [email protected].
Until next time!
I have a question about the bonus stuff. It says that you have to back 5+ things at a physical level to qualify for the Supply Pods. I originally backed 3 at physical, upgraded 1 PDF to physical in the survey, and am waiting on survey's for 2 others that were originally pledged as PDFs. If I upgrade at least one of those 2 remaining ones to a physical product would I then be eligible for the Supply Pods when available?

Q: I added Gradient Descent when I did the survey, but have yet to be charged for it - will that happen when shipping is charged, or am I missing a "update payment"-button or something? Bonus q: I just now noticed that there's a patch in my included items, is that a bonus object I've missed? :D
