So as of this morning, our project has concluded with a wild total $8,268 raised - which means we hit one last stretch goal right before the end! I'm so thankful to each and every one of you (320 strong!) for chipping in to help make this adventure a reality. It's always a surreal feeling to do these crowdfunds and I feel honoured that I get to do this for (essentially) a living! Very, very stoked to dig in on this for the rest of the year and whip it all into shape. Stay tuned for updates - I'll be aiming to check in roughly once a month with my progress!
Now, there's one last thing to do before I disappear into the kitchen to get cooking. We have one last...
This last spotlight features Equipment and Valuables, two categories which tied in the poll I ran at the start of the campaign. Let's start with Equipment!
This is a completely new category of items within the Company Vault - in running the original Fire Sale, I often had players asking to search for armor, wearables, or other assorted stuff which didn't fit cleanly into any of the other categories. So now it's got a section of the loot table all to itself! Additionally, this means some items formerly on the Artifacts table have been moved over as better fits, and rest assured they'll get some wild replacements. Lots of fun surprises on this table!
Valuables are, similar to Weapons, very straightforward. Vaults should have things worth money in them, and in many cases the item itself isn't the point - it's a question of who you can sell it to, and what that money buys you if you can make it out! Valuables form a solid backbone of the loot table, in that you don't want a huge volume of "useless" or unfun entries, but you do want punctuation between the weird and deadly stuff that can just be there. Do you take it with you? What can you risk carrying? There's always incentive to try and pack in that last item for a little extra cred...
With that, we've toured through all of the types of items you can expect to find in the Vault! If you've been reading along week to week, thanks so much, and keep your eyes peeled - there's a ton more hidden in the facility's cracks and crevices and I'm keen to share more as the project progresses.
Like I said above, I'll now be shifting from weekly updates into closer to monthly check-ins, so hang tight! I'll be back in touch before you know it with new stuff to show off. Talk then!
