Mid-June Update Post
🕑 Added 2023-06-14 03:36:16 +0000 UTCHello, this is a mid-month update post to keep you abreast with my current plans.
Cut the Deck
My prototype copy arrived! If anyone in Wellington, New Zealand would like to play, I'd be happy to arrange a time. The game is largely done, but there are plenty of edge cases we need to iron out by doing more playtesting.
Now that I physically have the game, it's going to be easier for me to decide what artwork needs a bit of extra polish too.
We've heard back from everyone who supported the panDEMONium tier, so there are 16 Mystery Swords in the works from the minds of the community!
I will do a Kickstarter update as soon as I've played a few games...
The Webcomic
I'm currently working on Episode 734. I'm currently mulling over putting all of my energy into reaching 750 by this time next month, because...
The Staycation
My partner is going on an overseas trip for almost a month. Some people would use that kind of free time to clean the house or play Final Fantasy 16, but I think it would be best served as time to do a lot of Deep Work and catch up on all my commitments. Especially overdue Patreon rewards.
The Video Game(s)
We intend to invite you all to do some beta-testing of a smaller Swords video game when it's ready. That might be soon?
Making A Real Sword
I promised to look into this if we reached 800 patrons, and there is a Sword making workshop happening here in Wellington next month with one spot still available... but they require that I've attended some beginner courses first. I'll keep an eye on things and maybe book in some earlier knife-making courses.
Makeship
My new prototype is scheduled to arrive in the mail on Monday, and then we'll establish campaign dates. And let's be honest, this will probably affect which characters appear most in the comics soon... [WRRH!]
Email Updates
New episodes have been accompanied by a Patreon update going out to higher tier supporters, posted along with the Textless Version - I hope they have been a welcome new feature for you!
And one more thing!
Please let me know which minor character you'd like me to kill off soon. The cast is getting too big. :-)
Thanks!
