LAST DAY : Rewards Summary + Peacat and Sentient House + Press articles + Project We Love
about 4 years ago – Fri, Oct 02, 2020 at 02:48:21 AM

Dear friends, the last 24 hours are upon us. 

Let's enjoy this last straight line all together!

On the program tonight :

  • Rewards Summary
  • Peacat and Sentient House
  • Press articles, interview with Iris and more
  • Project We Love

Rewards Summary

First of all, we worked on a file that summarizes everything: reward content, who has access to options and stretch goals. Everything! You can check it here. And a second link just in case.

Please note the price of the add-ons: it already allows you to add the credit you need.. and smash this final 500K goal! Some options do not have any price  : they will not be proposed during the pledge manager.

And a reminder for all our new backers.

How to add options? Click “Manage my pledge” and add the amount corresponding to your option(s). You don’t need to change your chosen reward tier; just edit the amount you are pledging to account for any add-ons you want. When we send you the survey after the end of the campaign, you will tell us what option(s) the extra amount is for.

You can find the list of available options each with a link to the upate giving more details on the main page of the project.

Also, you can check the FAQ here. If you have a question or if you notice something strange, don't hesitate to tell us. We know all of this can be confusing, so hope it helps :) 

Peacat and Sentient House

Damna has finished his work on the Sentient House! The design and writing of the "creature" is in progress. Check it out :

Sentient House by Damna

And here is a first glimpse of the Peacat... in French for now! Enjoy :D


Press articles, interview with Iris and more

The Gamer made a great article with a preview of a very special new creature... learn more here. 

And that's not all because Iris answered an interview with D20 Radio. Thanks to Egg for the opportunity! Even Cool Mini or Not published a nice tweet about the project! Thanks thanks folks it's super cool :)

We are in the last hours of the project, help us to spread it on the networks by sharing these links :)

It's the perfect time to introduce you to Creatures' lead designer, the author who works in the shadows, the conductor who whips the teams (I get lost!): Iris!

Iris is also the co-director of the studio with me. When she's not writing, she likes to carry wheelbarrows full of soil and plant trees. And she wanted to share this one below too. Hi Iris!

Project We Love

Tonight we would like to highlight The Palace of 1001 Rooms! Let's let the author speak: "By signing up as a backer, you'll be helping to produce a 100+ page, fully illustrated PDF module for D&D gaming systems. This will be the second chapter of a 10-part series that encompasses all 1001 rooms of this fabulous and mysterious castle in the clouds."

Kickstarter allows many independent projects to exist, there are still 3 days left for this one to reach its funding! Good luck Michael :)

Our studio produces music. Since 2011 we have released 4 albums. And let me tell you that it's really hard. Tonight we propose you to discover this project which seems really promising!

"My name is Candy Emberley and I'm a composer for video games. You might also know me from writing music for theater in the Twin Cities, performing covers and original songs in the Los Angeles area, or playing viola on other soundtracks. I also have a background in music engraving for films and tv shows.

I've been working on the score for a game called Wildermyth for a few years, and it would be a dream come true to have it recorded with live players instead of using samples. To do that, I need your help!"

We are so close from the 450K mark ! Let’s do this !!!

Cheers

Can we do it ?

If you have any question, please double check the FAQ here. If you are lost, do not hesitate to post in the comments section, we will do our best to help :)

Last 48 Hours!
about 4 years ago – Thu, Oct 01, 2020 at 07:57:37 AM

Here we are! 

The last hours of this campaign !

What a crazy ride !

We are a small independent studio. Of course, we are passionate but it is not every day easy to live in precariousness and uncertainty. In France, half of the comic book authors live with less than the minimum wage in France which is 1200€ per month. It is even worse for RPG creators.

Thanks to your huge support, we will be able to continue our work, with our style. We are slow, we spend so much time and energy on each single book. We will simply be able to continue this, in an artisanal way, but with less fear for the immediate future, the fear that the studio will close from one month to the next.

We feel so grateful :)

For all this, a BIG THANK YOU!


400K Goal : Welcome to the Gobbler

Congratulations on reaching the 400K goal ! It is such a big achievement 0_0 All backers will receive the Gobbler's STL file. If you take any of the non-digital pledges, you will also receive a copy of the mini in 1 inch / 28 mm scale, plastic cast. You can find more information about the Gobbler and all the unlocked rewards here.

Is this the end?

We've already gone way beyond what we expected: your number of backers of course, but also the amount of bonuses unlocked! We have to be very careful about the financial balance of the project but also about the schedule. We will have to produce a lot for every single backer. Of course, these bonuses are part of Kicsktarter's magic. It's also a legitimate way to thank you and you deserve this so much :)

All this being said, we are living a unique moment, and yes we still have a few treasures in our bag.... So see you tomorrow for a new and nice update !!

Once again, thank you for your huge support,

Cheers !
