Critical Kit

Hey there,

Another quick update to let you know that the journals are now complete:



As with everything else in this project, Simon and I went a bit above and beyond on the nostalgia production values. We were specifically trying to emulate the old Composition styles schoolbooks. That meant rounded edges and sourcing book-binding cloth in the right colour for the spines.

I think we actually might have ticked all of our boxes.

Oh, and of course there are the interior wood free, fountain-pen friendly paper on the interior that simon added a few small embellishments to.



It's another step closer to having this project ready to head out of the door.

In other news, I have asked the printer to air-freight a few copies of the book and journal to me so I can take some better images.


We're only waiting for the boxes, punch out cards and dice to come out of production now and then we are good to fulfil.

Back soon with another update.

Hey there,

Just dropping in with a quick update with the actual finished book. And it's not just pictures!

Here's a video short of the books rolling off the print line, plus one being opened and shown off for your viewing pleasure.

The boxes should also be off the production line soon, so I'll drop a video of them as soon as I can.

Back with more soon!

Tim and Simon, both fans of that robot arm.

Hey there,

As the books are being bound, I managed to badger a photo from the printer with the printed edges that incorporate Simon's leaf design. They will look much better once bound (and once I have them to get better photos, but here is what they are looking like:


It's a short but sweet one, today, but I thought you might like to see the books as they progress. I'm hoping to get photos from the printer of the full book very soon, but I'll also be getting some copies sent to me by air freight so I can show them off with better images.

If your address has changed, please don't worry. We will reach out to all backers just before fulfilment. I'll do this in updates and emails direct.

That's all for now. Have a great weekend.

Tim (and Simon)

Hey there,

Coming in with a quick update for you as things plod steadily on. I'm anticipating photos of the books with edge printing at any moment, but in the meantime we've just been a photo of one of the boxes fresh out of production.

Before I dish out the photos, I'd love it if you could help me with something. We've been invited to take part in the BackerKit ENnies Emporium, because my game Punk is Dead won an ENnie last year. This is basically a drive to get more people interested in indie games. You don't have to back anything, just give us a follow.

Right, on to those box pics.


So, we are expecting everything to be start heading to us this month which means fulfilment is anticipated to begin in August.

As a reminder, I will reach out to everyone for the opportunity to change addresses, but in the meantime, hang tight! We are getting there.

Tim (and Simon, who now has a fixed computer)
