Project Update: October Update
Hello everyone,
Here's a proper look at where Liquid Steel is.
The English comic is nearly there. Shuyi is laying out the last six chapters, which should be finished by 8 October, and final proofreading follows straight after. We're also very pleased to have a foreword from Jamie Sutcliffe of Strange Attractor, due in on 18 October.
The game book is being developed alongside the comic. It goes into layout at the end of October, with layout aiming to wrap up by the 31st.
Once both books are finished, they go to print. We'll share print and shipping dates as soon as we have them, along with news on the pledge manager.
Thanks for backing something a bit unusual. We're excited to get this into your hands.
All the best,
Dan

Project Update: August!
Heyo!
The comic is looking good and is walking towards the finish line as the layout nears its end, no changes there.
The game is in motion. The core rules text is done, Daniel Sell's adventure trilogy is done, and 90% of Gavriel Quiroga's setting conversion is ready. We're having a lovely time picking the choicest bits of art for the book in the meantime though, so no time wasted.
Thanks for your patience, and we're getting excited to see this thing in the flesh (or at least PDF-digital-flesh) soon!

Ahoy hoy,
The Liquid Steel comic is in the hands of our dear sweet layout artist and is looking pretty swanky and, most importantly, almost finished. The TTRPG text is now receiving our full attention.
More soon!

Hi all!
Sorry for the quiet once again. Comic finished a bit ago and was waiting in the layout queue, which it is now #1 in. Once that's done, layout on the game book will begin. We're talking print slots with our dear sweet printers now so we don't have to wait in a job queue down the line.
Delays are passing, books are for life! At least they are when we make them*.

*While moving some mountains of books the other day we found a box that had taken a forklift prong to the face. Books mashed! But none of the spines came off. Those are some hench bindings.

Project Update: February Update
Hi all!
Sorry for the silence since December. Nothing exciting, we've just been busy working away on things. I am making good progress on the translation editing and am very happy with how it's shaping up. We're on the final third still, as the middle issues of Liquid Steel are very philosophy heavy so have been going over, and over, them to ensure it is both a truthful translation and maintains as much of the poetry of the original as we possibly can. Our internal deadline for this section was the end of February (unlikely now!) but that should give you some context on how close we feel it is. Once I'm happy with the text it will go to layout and things should move pretty quickly from there.
Thanks for your continued patience!
