Project Update: November SotM Update!
Hey, folks!
I hope you're all doing well! We're rockin' and rollin' over here, working on lots of things and making great progress. Woo!
However, I've gotta be real with you — last month, I unwittingly lied to you. I never want to do that! I truly thought I'd be able to deliver on what I wrote while I was on the road for shows, but I wasn't thinking clearly or holistically about this project. It's true that things are moving along and I'm confident in our process, the schedule, and the product we're making for you. But anything I showed you as a reveal now would either be A) likely to change notably before it went to print, and/or B) some hand-wavy lackluster reveals that aren't all that exciting. I don't love that. I'd rather be always putting our best foot forward, and in the times that we're so in flux in development, put no foot forward. This is a very ambitious expansion with a ton of new content that does different stuff than Sentinels has ever attempted before, so development has been a lot of work, but work that we're very cut out to complete! The point is, in these updates, I don't want to provide just a "good enough" experience here. So, I greatly apologize for getting your hopes up. That was unfair and unkind of me; you deserve better. And I'm doing my best to improve! But our focus continues to be on development and polish, and I'm much better at those than I am at writing updates and marketing. Clearly!
My intention is to show you some cool HP spinners we're making for this set in next month's update, and have the rulebook for you in the update after that, so those are big things to look forward to, neither of which are vague, "I'm gonna reveal something..." claims. If there's more I can confidently show off in those updates, I promise I will! But know that we're making progress, getting stuff done, and very much on track to deliver at our promised time of next summer.
Thank you all for your support — we're making this game for YOU, and I'm so excited to make it happen! So, thanks again, and keep on saving the Multiverse!
