Hey y'all! Nora again, back with some incredible news!

It's been a busy week, but thanks to the help from each and every person that's backed, we've hit both of the goals needed to unlock the Custom Card Creation App! I've said it before, but this was something that when we launched the campaign never seemed possible - and yet here we are!

Having reached both 450 backers and $28,000 in funding, we'll be commissioning an experienced developer to create a Custom Card Creation App for Perfect Draw! This tool will let you easily take any of the strange and unique cards you've designed for your character, and get either digital-ready images or print-ready PDFs for your campaign!

Please note that this app won't be helping you through the card creation process itself. The Custom Card Creation process presented in Perfect Draw! is extremely open ended and often relies on confirmation from your Judge. Trying to fit that into this app would raise the costs of development significantly for relatively little benefit. 

It's likely that the final version of this app will take some time, possibly longer then it takes us to release the final book! Nonetheless, sections of the book will probably be modified to mention the app as an accessibility tool.  

Somehow this wasn't the only good news either, because, as I was writing this post, we hit 550 backers!! That means the first of our post-capstone goals has been reached!! Alongside the 4 playbooks already unlocked, once we've finished on the core book, we'll begin working on 10 special encounters to be included alongside them! These encounters, along with the 4 unlocked playbooks, will be included in a free PDF to all backers, and for a small fee to anyone that missed the campaign!

Each of these encounters will focus on some of the more unique and exciting avenues your campaigns in Shuffle City could lead you down! We've already mentioned characters like Pandora, Zeus, and Prometheus - but you can expect to see encounters including:

With the capstone finally unlocked, we can reveal the next funding goal! Originally we intended a different stretch goal to be revealed here - but some information still needs to be confirmed before we can. Because we didn't want to just say "please wait a couple more days", this smaller stretch goal has been added as a special bonus for the meantime! (Its inclusion hasn't changed the funding goal for the next stretch goal!)

As for the backer goals, as with the unlocked new encounters, this next goal looks to further expand the content backers will gain access to alongside the unlocked playbooks! 24 new Premade Cards means a ton of new options for Premade Card Creation, so I really hope we can make it to this goal!!

Finally, in case you missed it, me and Iris took the time earlier today to do a stream showing off Perfect Draw!'s Card Game Combat systems! Despite any technical issues, both of the fights were really fun and exciting, so I hope you'll check it out if you want to learn more about how card games work in Perfect Draw!

It's been a busy week, so I'll probably be taking a short rest over the weekend,
See y'all soon!
