Latest Updates from Our Project:

February 8 Update

Hi all! Firstly, from this point onward we are going to make our regular updates public. Previously they were visible to Kickstarter backers only, but we thought the public updates would be more convenient for Backerkit pre-orderers, as well. Our updates are about every two weeks, even if we don't have much new to update.

To recap our current estimates: We don't have an updated ETA yet because we want the next date we provide to encompass a timeframe for the print version. We are very close to finishing the print-and-play version, and have been working through the last blockers to release that to everyone.

Requirements for release Print-and-Play:

  • Editing of Variants: complete. All variants are edited, and we even got in a few more improvements to the cards and the core text.
  • Card Layout: complete. This covers the Theme, Companion and Reference cards.
  • Printable Layout: in progress. (This means laying out the cards above in a convenient format for print-and-play.)
  • Rules Layout: in progress. Continuing to iterate on this.

Requirements for going to print:

  • New Box Art: in progress. We approved some great initial sketches and color schemes.
  • Box Design: on hold, pending the new Box Art.

In the last month, we continued working through blockers. One thing that slowed us that down is that we (Dev & Laura) seem to have spent January taking turns being sick. Hopefully that will stop!

We are working to get the print-and-play out to all our backers as soon as possible.

Happy New Year - More Layout Ahead
