Stretch goal 3 has been reached ahead of anticipated schedule. BRITTLE STAR looks forward to helping your Cutters face threats both endo- and exoplanetary.

Stretch goals 4 and 5 have been revealed:

At $40,000 USD, the 'Sophonts' chapter of the full game will have its rules, guidance, and content substantially expanded. Plans for this expansion currently include:

- NEW ROLL TABLES FOR CREATING AND PORTRAYING EXCITING, TEXTURALLY-UNIQUE SYMBIOTES
- EXPANSION OF THE 'HELIX' CUTTER-SOPHONT RELATION SYSTEM 
- ADDITIONAL TAILORED ADVANCEMENTS FOR EACH SOPHONT

Sophont's namesake organisms are fascinating and complex alien beings, beyond the human reference frame but not beyond communication or connection. BRITTLE STAR strives to portray them as such. The above additions will assist both Cutters and Operators in engaging with Sophonts in more creative depth.

At $45,000 USD, THE PUNCTURE DIE's mold will be upgraded with custom numbering and a few additional surprises. These will be revealed upon unlock.

Thank you for your attention. Please look forward to SOPHONT: FIRST CUT, releasing soon.
