We're into the final 72 hours of our campaign already. Wild.
What to update you all with?
Trapped on Schrödinger's Moon zine
The zine script has been sent over to my editor for the editing pass, so that's moving along nicely. Once that comes back I'll implement any changes and then we're off into layout asap.
Calendar test prints
I recieved a couple of calendar test prints early this week to get a feel for paper options. It's looking sweet! I think we're going for a nice combo of textured cover paper and a thinner, retro off white inner to add to the retro feel of the whole package. Off the back of these prints we've been chatting through a few ways to make the lower half of the calendar look more branded and retro too, and a slight reordering of the months/artwork so it flows better. Almost ready to hit print on this run already though, so can't wait to get these ordered up.
Behold, a gif:
You would not believe how long this gif took me to make
Limited run
This Backerkit will be the only option to grab yourself one of the World of Tomorrow calendars unless I see you at Dragonmeet in November. Due to the tight turnaround I won't be running any kind of preorder after the campaign. At the moment I'm looking at a limited run of probably 250 of these in total, so if you fancy grabbing something very exclusive this is your chance!
Stretch goals
We're sitting at a tally just a bit over £10k at the moment, currently quite a bit away from our next 12k stretch goal for adding another couple of art prints to all physical backer tiers. I'd love it if we could hit the £12k mark (or beyond!) in this final stretch so I can get Luke Oram's artwork out to as many backers as possible. Much of the calendar art won't feature in the zine, so this is a way for those that haven't backed the calendar to still grab some of this amazing artwork.
So if you like, please share the project with anyone you think would love a time bending paradox module for Mothership!
Poll winner for art print three was July - Catastrophe:
And our final poll is between:
November - Organic processing
A billion human brains shall be wired into a single biomechanics computer, seeding our
intelligence across the stars. Humanity as fuel. Batteries. Organic processing power.
United as one.
A Choir of Echoes.
And
December - The godhead
You will worship us.
Be subservient. Thankful.
It is inevitable.
So hopefully we can hit that £12k and get one of these added as an additional A6 art print.
