Whoopee!! The manufacturer managed to add the coins to the pin order, and WOW WOW WOW!

These also arrived today, and my goodness, they're heavier than I expected, and have such a great textured feel to them. 

Proper photos will be uploaded soon, I'm just in a bit of work-crunch until Monday (giving a class/networking event on Saturday for animation, Pride2026 on Sunday to boot), but I just wanted to ride this high and show everyone the amazing result! 

Thanks for giving this a looksee! It's happening!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to celebrate that the first backerkit for Arcton is over!

We were just shy of the second book, but tbh, I think that's fine! I can dedicate this time in finishing up Helm of Echoes and the Hulse expansion as best as I can! The first Overview book has been ready since late March, although I'd like to add 2 extra pages and update some of the art--but the hard part is over! 

I'd also like to cook up a little bonus, but that's a surprise for now, heheh. 

For now, thank you so much! 

We did it!!

With 25 hours to go, we finished unlocking the Primordial Kin illustration card! They'll be included moving forward!

The lore post will be up later tonight/tomorrow, sorry! I've been playing catch-up with work.

Afterwards, while I work on the Encounter Kit, the Solo Campaign, and the Hulse expansion, I'll be posting updates similar to the lore posts in the Backer Only Content. Showing off the worldbuilding, and if people have questions, they're more than welcome to ask them! 

Thanks again!

Hey everyone! Wonderful news!

The soundtrack is unlocked!!!

I already posted the main theme last week, which is downright gorgeous! I'm also excited to announce that my younger brother, who is another professional musician, is also working on the soundtrack and sent me the theme for the Primordial Kin, which...imagine dryads and leshys in underground forests, but full of body horror and wild magic. I love the dichotomy of the two themes so far, this one has more vibes akin to Dark Crystal or FF: Crystal Chronicles, which is a nice build-up to potential horror down the line.

After listening to the song, I couldn't help but make an illustration of it to represent this other side of a forgotten Arcton:

So!

To give ourselves a little boost in securing the funds for the soundtrack, I want to add a little "thank you" freebie for supporters. Let's add a final achievement goal in these last few days!

We have less than 75 hours to go, but thank you so much for all the support so far! Once the campaign ends, we'll be moving to backer-only updates, so I can show off all the work in progress of the Encounter Kit. And, if anyone's interested, can ask questions or even offer your own takes during the creation process.
