Update #1 - Zephyr at the ENNIEs Emporium!
Hey y'all! Welcome to the Zephyr Ennies Emporium campaign!
I'm very glad to have this opportunity, and very thankful for y'all to step in. Zephyr has been a huge undertaking for me, and in the same way it's been a whole oddissey to make it real, it's also now been two years of very hard work to get it seen and make people aware of it. Designers from the global south get few opportunities to boost our art, and so this to me signifies a chance to bring new and exciting ideas I couldn't realize back in 2024 - as is the backpack add on.
Fortunately, we already blew past that one, so: YAY! Is time to celebrate!
The backpack Add On, for those who don't know, is an add that turns the whole cargo system into yet another of the really cool, physical mini games that characterize several of Zephyr's subsystems, like cooking and gliding, by using item cutouts and arranging them like a puzzle in different kinds of backpacks :)
Also, the add on comes with a bunch of pre-printed color character sheets. Everyone really liked the character sheets I drew, but of course, when you print them yourselves, they kinda lose a lot of detail and charm. Having them pre-printed helps tons :)

On other exciting news, due to popular demand on our Discord (you're welcome to join it!), I'm preparing a free scenario for folk who wanna run one shots and quick games at conventions and clubs, with pregens :) also a chance for me to draw all new illustrations for all the spreads! here are some, included a WIP of the granary cross section.
Anyway, that's what's up for now! I'll be making an update in a couple days as we push onwards. I still have all the emails to shoot out to the mailing list so hopefully we pick up more steam with that. Please, do feel free to help promote the campaign on social media; you can find our posts in Bluesky here
Best wishes,
Federico

I bought the Zephyr Box some... months? years? ago. Is this the same game? Is there anything new, besides the Backpack?
