Project Update: And we're done!
Hey everyone
The campaign has closed! We ended up with a bit over £45000, which is terrific - our best-funded campaign ever by a big margin. Thank you all for helping us make this great game a reality.
From this point, we'll be focused on delivering the game. This is a relatively slow-moving process. We will keep you regularly updated but the reality is that not much changes week to week. We therefore expect to provide an update once a month. We'll do that even if there's not much to say.
This game is already a good way through the production process, with a well-edited text, most of the art complete, and the layout partially complete. Even so, it will take quite a while before you have the game in your hand. Thank you for your patience as we deliver Lovecraftesque.
That is (mostly) it for now. For those who like detail, there's a high-level project plan setting out what we expect to happen when, just below this message.
Thanks again for your support and we can't wait to get the game into your hands!
Yours
Josh and Becky

Here's a run-down, showing our best estimate of what we'll be doing in the coming months. We'll let you know if these estimates change, in our monthly update.

Here's a run-down, showing our best estimate of what we'll be doing in the coming months. We'll let you know if these estimates change, in our monthly update.
- Over the next 3 months we're going to be completing the editing and layout process. This is mostly focused on the scenarios, though we also spotted a few improvements we could make to the core text and will be getting these implemented too. Once complete this will enable us to share the PDF version of the game, hopefully by the end of January.
- Once we have the core text and cards completely finalised, we'll begin on implementing the virtual playroom. We have created a prototype for this so it's a case of getting all the text and graphics assets in place to build the playroom. We hope to have this complete by the end of March.
- At the same time, we'll begin work with Longpack Games to get the physical product made. We should be able to commence this soon after we have the final PDF files in hand. It's a fairly length process, as you need to create samples, with potential revisions, at two stages, and there will be a month's break in the middle because of Chinese New Year. We'll be honest, this part of the process is new to us and there's therefore a big error margin around our planning estimates. However we hope the manufacturing process will complete around the middle of 2024.
- Once the product has been manufactured, it will be shipped to our partner warehouses in the UK and US. Once they've got them, they'll package them up and ship them out to you. We don't have any estimates on this bit of the process just yet - we will update you nearer the time when we know the likely timelines.
