Cyber Secrets: Virtual Tokens Unlocked!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 02:51:37 PM

Virtual tokens for The Lost Message will be available to download upon release of the PDF.

As well as working hard to finish an unforgettable adventure, after the Kickstarter campaign ended, I've continued crowd funding efforts for The Lost Message and will continue to do so until the completion of the project. These late pledges count towards the stretch goals, and I'm happy to announce that Virtual Tokens has been unlocked!

Everything is still running smoothly regarding completion of the project prior to the end of November 2022. A date for the release of the survey hasn't yet been set, but it is coming within the next few weeks. There will be ample time between the release of the survey and the response deadline to confirm your PDF delivery email, confirm your shipping information and pay for any shipping fees due if you ordered a physical copy of the book, include add-ons, etc.

I hope everyone is happy and well!

Twisted Tunnels: Add-ons Coming to the Backer Survey!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Sep 01, 2022 at 12:30:51 AM

Exciting news! After feedback from some game testers, the world of The Lost Message is expanding! Add-ons will be available on the backer survey via Backer Kit closer to fulfillment of the project for any adventurers wishing to create a more immersive experience.

I'm still testing out the best add-ons to include in the survey, so I don't have any news to share at the moment as to what add-ons will be available, other than to say the add-ons will not affect the completion time of the project. November 2022 is still the projected completion date. The only limitation I'm expecting for the November 2022 projected completion date is competing with holiday shipping for anyone who ordered physical copies of the book, which may create some shipping delays. But the PDF delivery of The Lost Message should not be hindered.

Though add-ons will be available on the backer survey, my main focus is still delivering an outstanding, fun adventure like no other. I care deeply about this project, and I can't wait to share it with you! I really feel that, with your help, we're building something special, and I'm so grateful for each and every one of you.

As the project approaches completion, my goal is to begin doing bi-weekly updates instead of monthly updates, mostly because I'll have more material to share. That said, sorry for again not including the standee preview in this update, but I'm trying to perfect the artwork for the standees - finding that balance between intricate and printer-friendly.

Have a lovely day!

Warm Regards,

Andrea

The First Piece of the Puzzle

536% funded! Thank you to everyone for a successful Kickstarter campaign, which has now officially ended. 

Though not all the stretch goals have yet been reached, late pledges will be accepted until the release of The Lost Message, estimated to be this November 2022. All late pledges will also count towards the stretch goals. I’ll continue to update everyone as new stretch goals are unlocked.

Everyone will receive a backer survey closer to the finalization of the project where you’ll be able to confirm your email address for the delivery of the PDF, fill out shipping information and pay for shipping costs if your pledge included a physical copy of the adventure, and possibly order add-ons. The survey will be administered through BackerKit. More information to follow upon release of the survey.

Have a mysteriously wonderful day!

PS: I don’t have the sneak peek of the standees just yet, but it’s coming soon!
