Playtests, Two More Stretch Goals Achieved, and More on the Horizon!
Wow! We still have a week left, and we're over 550% funded! I cannot thank you all enough for your support that you've shown Wayfinder I'm truly humbled, and I'm so exc...
Sorry for the delays here getting an update for you. I'm going to be doing more updates on this slightly more regularly as we head towards production and then into fulfillment shortly.
Where are we at?
Design of Wayfinder is done, art is nearly finished, and we're awaiting a few final things to button up for launch. A few more Adventures are being written by our wonderful writing team, and once those are finished, and laid out in the book, we'll be ready to hit the big 'ol print button! Very exciting to see how far this project has come, and to see the results of over a years worth of work getting here.
I wanted to share a few new things I've added the the booklet, including Single Player mode, and some wonderful art by a variety of artists that will break up the book with "Field Notes" style pages. Here's what those look like:
Single Player Mode:
As promised, I've designed an inclusive Single Player system that will work alongside Wayfinder. It uses an "Oracle" to guide you through your adventure, and add some randomization and intrigue to your encounters! Here is what that Single Player mode looks like:
What's Next?
Once we have the final adventures and artwork submitted, we'll be moving to production! We already have our manufacturers lined up, the dice and some other accessories have already been made and arrived, and once the books arrive, we'll move to fulfillment and final release!
Thank you all for your patience on this. I know it's been longer than expected, but I'm very happy with how it's coming together, and I'm so excited to get it in your hands!
Firstly, I want to apologize for my lack of communication these past few months. It's been a busy convention season, and some unexpected complications(like a move, among other things) have delayed progress in ways I hadn't expected.
As far as progress, here is where we're at:
The book is mostly complete, and we're just waiting on writing to be completed for a few more scenarios, as well as to complete the "Solo Play" and "Map-Making 101" section of the book.
The scenarios are being finished by my wonderful collaborators, and will be included soon in the book.
Layout is complete on all of the completed chapters(How to Play, The Vast, Fundamentals of Roleplaying, The Quill RPG System, Creating a Character, etc.)
I'm currently finishing writing on the Solo Play section, and am excited to share it with you all!
Dice Have Arrived!!
After eagerly waiting, the Quill and Wayfinder Exploration Dice have arrived! Here they are:
Playtesting Update!
Playtesting has finalized, and the final version of the book is being buttoned up.
Thank you to all of you who provided feedback during this phase, and who had the chance to give your honest thoughts to me both on the server and in private. It has truly helped us to fine-tune this book into what it is now. Anyone who contributed to the playtesting will be credited as such in the final book.
New Art
With the addition of some truly wonderful artists, I'd love to share some of their incredible work!
What's On the Horizon?
This week, I will be finishing up the Bestiary and Solo Play sections and will be releasing Wayfinder V0.4 on my Discord to all backers.
After that, final layout will finish up on the last few chapters, and we'll be off to printing! I have a goal of hitting the big red 'print' button in January. That should take a few weeks before they are shipped to the states. I estimate that fulfillment will complete in March, which does put us a few months behind schedule, unfortunately, but you will be getting your pledges soon!
Thank you for you support, and I'm excited to get this book in all of your hands!
