Critical Kit

Hey there,

First up, we should have a couple of production items landing with us in early April, so as soon as I have them in the studio, I will post some photos! We have also printed and ringfenced all of the extra games purchased as add-ons so we are ready to begin fulfilment as soon as we have all of the Wires rewards in hand.

In other news, we have a small game available for BackerKit's Pocketopia. Unleashed is a solo/multiplayer TTRPG about Doggos doing heists.

As a previous supporter of our Wires in The Woods campaign, we wanted to give you the opportunity to access a hidden pledge level that will allow you to add Unleashed to your WiTW rewards without incurring any extra postage.

IF YOU DO READ THROUGH THE UNLEASHED PAGE, PLEASE ENSURE YOU USE ONE OF THE LINKS ON THIS PAGE TO THE HIDDEN PLEDGE LEVEL IF YOU WISH TO BACK IT.



You can access the hidden pledge level here (please don't share this link as it's only for you).

How does it work?

What if I have already backed Unleashed?
Please head over your BackerKit account and change your base pledge level. We will do the rest.

As an additional bonus, you will receive the signed postcard for backers in the first 48 hours, regardless of when you pledge!

Don't forget, you can access the hidden pledge level here.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop a message to [email protected]

As for Wires in The Woods, we are working through the layouts and all physical items other than the book are in production. I will be back in coming weeks with photos of the physical rewards when they arrive in our studio!

Have a lovely rest of the weekend,

Tim

THIS UPDATE IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR BACKERS.

Hey all,

If you wish, you scroll to the bottom of this message to get straight into some lovely images, but please do return to read the following part!

So, we are beginning the process of working through the designs in preparation for manufacture. With the extra art and content from stretch-goals our estimate is that we will be fulfilling in May or June. This around 8 weeks later than we anticipated, but we also didn't expect the campaign to have so many backers which has bumped up our production time. Of course, we will endeavour to get things done sooner, but never at the cost of the quality of Wires in The Woods.

Either way, will ensure you get plenty of bang for your buck in lieu of this extra time we need.

Please, please, please get to your surveys and complete them as we antcipate locking them down this month so we can accurately manufacture the correct quantities of everything! You will still be able to change your address before we send your rewards and we will send you an email giving you time to do this nearer the start of the fulfilment process.

That said, I will still be giving regular updates including this one of the art Simon has produced for the playing cards:

Here's the before sketch:


And here the final coloured versions:



Ain't they lovely if not a little naiive and lacking in fashion sense when it comes to hats.

That's all for today. I'm heading out to Bournemouth tomorrow for Beachhead convention -- one of favourites to kick off the year. Then in a couple of weeks I'll be heading out to Louisville for the GAMA expo -- if you happen to be at either, please do come say hi!

I'll be back next week with more news.

Tim (& Simon who is busy creating these wonderful pieces of art).

Hey there,

It's been a while, but I thought I'd just drop in with some news before we head into the quantum timewarp that is the festive season.

So, after the campaign was over, I announced that we would be honouring late pledges in the target for stetch goals. Well, that has now served us well as we have blasted past our final stretch goal: The Headlands.

Which, I suppose, means I will have to finally spill the beans on what the Headlands actually is. There were a few valiant (and expansion-inspiring) attempts made by some of you.

Well, it is what it is. Imagine a world that is situated on the head of an emergent creature. A creature whose size spans that of a large town -- or bigger if you wish. It's a place where things shift and not everything is what it seems.

If you want the general visuals on this, check out Simon's piece of art, Forever Home which is also available in the late-pledge add-ons.


As with the whole project, Simon has created original creatures based on his work, so The Headlands may look slightly different, but you get the idea.

Okay, that's all for now.

On behalf of Simon and myself (Tim) I'd like to wish you all a great festive season, whatever your plans are and we'll be back with the updates next year ;)

Be kind!

Tim & Simon
