Thank you to all the backers who voted in the last poll regarding stretch goals! 73% of respondents said they preferred game related upgrades over more merch. With that in mind I have started working on a few things!
1. Playmats/Deskmats I sketched a few designs over the weekend for some potential playmats for Underleaf which could double as generic desk mats when you're not playing!! Underleaf is simple enough that there are only a few zones to remember and marking them out didn't seem that helpful, haha. I made a few basic rectangular designs and one custom leaf shaped mat!! If this is something you're interested in, I'd love to hear from you - what design appeals to you and why? :0 Poll attached below!
While I wouldn't be able to include these in the all-in pledges, I do have a couple of game upgrades that I'm working on and should be able to share this week that will!! And, if you're a backer who voted for art/merch related add-ons I will have some things for you too. :)
Dimensions are approximately 30"x14".
Thanks so much for all the support and I'll be back this week with more updates!! ♥ Laura
First and foremost, thank you all so much for backing Hercules and the 12 Labors! This has been the best game launch Envy Born Games has ever had, and it's all thanks to you. We hit our funding goal within the first two hours of launch, and now we're over 300% funded! That's incredible, and it's entirely because of your amazing support. (You must all really want this game! Which I love. 😁)
I want to apologize for the delay in posting this update. Normally, I'd send one out as soon as a game funds, but I just returned from TokenCon, which kept me very busy. The convention went fantastic! I had the chance to show off an early prototype copy of Hercules and the 12 Labors andeveryone loved it. Some people even backed the game on the spot!
PROTOTYPE COPY - NOT FINAL
I Need Your Input!
Since this project is only possible because of you, I want to hear from you! We've already unlocked our first stretch goal, gold foiling on the game box, which is going to make this game look absolutely stunning. We're now closing in on our next stretch goal, which is currently set as thicker card stock.
But here's where you come in: I want to know what you want to see unlocked next! I'm hosting a poll so you can vote for the next stretch goal. Whichever option gets the most votes will be the next upgrade we unlock. So please, cast your vote and help shape the future of Hercules and the 12 Labors!
Even More Exciting News!
Backerkit has introduced some awesome new tools, including one called "Achievements." I'm working on a fun way for every backer to earn FREE STICKERS! It's not quite ready yet, but I'm excited to roll it out soon. Stay tuned for details on how you can score some extra goodies.
Once again, thank you all for your incredible support. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or start a new discussion, I'll be there to answer as soon as I can.
We're at double our funding goal!!!! The Sloth love is obviously showing up, thank you so much to all our first few days backers. If you haven't backed Surplus of Sloths yet, what's holding you back?

We're an small independent publisher so don't your miss your chance as it will may be hard to find Surplus of Sloths in stores. If you back us now, you'll get it much earlier!

Thank you all so much for supporting this whimsical project of mine~
Now that POND is funded and guaranteed to be produced, I have some genuine Stretch Goals that simply will not be possible unless the print run is large enough to lower the per unit price to fit it all into a $60 game!
At 60k, I'll be adding an free sticker sheet featuring multiple small stickers of the Frogs of POND.
At 100k, I'll be upgrading the Lilypad tokens in the game from punchboard tokens to wood so that your frog meeples will sit on wooden pieces!
And at 150k, I'll be adding a playmat for the Frog Cards Shop to allow easy pick up of the cards you can buy!
Help make POND as premium as possible by sharing it with all of your co-workers, distant relatives, and whoever will listen to you!
Me and the homies ready to play POND
Playtesting Program Opens March 25th!
I'll be attending ProtoATL next week to playtest POND all weekend long to make sure it's ready for open beta. Once the Open Beta is live, I will be opening up a playtesting program where anyone who records and provides detailed reporting using our playtest feedback form for at least 3 games will get a free Pond T-Shirt added to their pledge!
We'll also be revealing some options for our enamel pin, included in the Indie Savior and Legend tiers, for everyone to vote upon~
Lastly, in case you missed it, Duo Leveling, the Twin VTubers, joined me in playtesting POND last night on youtube live! You can watch the VOD here.
