Great news! You all have unlocked the 30K stretch goal.
That means we can add the enamel pin to the Wandering Knight bundle. Here's the twist, though: Luny and I felt it would be best if you chose the design. We put up a poll where backers can decide which design they'd like to see on their pins.
We'll leave the poll up for a week, after which we'll announce the winner and get to work manufacturing them! Many thanks to all of you for helping us see this project do so amazingly.
Our next goal at 40K is the Sho and Snowy acrylic figure! With the chemistry they have in the comic, I've really been telling Luny I'd like to see more of them together. The cover of book 2 is absolutely fanning the flames, so this one will be exciting.
Just inches away from 30K! At which point, we'll be ready to unveil our unlocked enamel pin design for ya. Till then, we've been keeping busy this week getting into gear everyone's orders.

to shreds, you say
Figures are being printed out and being ready for painting! Since we have a good idea of how many we'll need, the hard work of manufacturing them has already begun. Hoping we can get a good number of them ready in time before the holidays.

To show you a bit more of the touch-ups that Luny is making with his books, here's an example from one of the earlier chapters. Colors are being made a little darker to come out better in print. Some panels are in the process of being reworked to look nicer. Book 1, being the early book, will see a little more work done than book 2.
Having done an early short print run of just book 1 before all of this allowed Luny to identify which areas needs the editing.
And here's another illustration that Luny finished over the week!
Once again thank you all for your support! See you soon when we've got more to share. And oh, BABY FIGHTS. It's Blanc vs Samson, duking it out!!
Hey, folks! The final 24 hours of the Early Bird level for Wandering Knight and Squire are upon us. They'll be gone 10/9, 9AM Pacific and made exclusive to Luny's Patreon members. Don't miss out on the discount!

That said, we've officially unlocked the postcard map of Gaelia stretch goal. Crom will be joining our team to illustrate a more rendered map of Gaelia. The postcard will be included in every physical order as promised, so look forward to that little bonus in your order!
The next stretch goal we've got lined up is at 30K, with an enamel pin design by Luny. More details on that coming up! In the meantime, please participate in our little sports betting poll:
Good morning! We're entering Day 2 of the campaign STRONG. First stretch goal, the Alex Ahad add'l print, is unlocked 🔓 We'll include it in the Print Bundle and the Sho Fanclub and Wandering Knight pledge levels. Alex is almost finished with it, but here's a preview of the print design we went with:
The next stretch goal we've got is: the Gaelia map postcard!
As is, this is what the map looks like in the remastered chapter 1:
We're going to work with our good friend and fantastic illustrator, Crom, to put out a more detailed version fit for a postcard to be included with every physical order. Very close to unlocking it!! Just $500 till 20K.
Now a word from the author...
it him
It's been quite surreal seeing the amount of people buy the book, from both fans, who, I am very sorry, I had assumed had never even touched my comic before, and my friends, who, I had also assumed have never touched my comic before.
Seeing blank profile pictures pop up on the backerkit was a little flattering because I (again, am making assumptions) assume that you guys made an account on a site just for this project; likewise seeing familiar faces on the backer train brought a smile to my face, because those are faces I know! Ranging from people I'd met from before I had a "career" doing art, to friends that I consider close, it makes me feel seen!
It feels someone akin to the theme song of an anime playing during the final battle and you get to see the protagonist's friends cheer them on.
and you guys made me feel like the protagonist!!! for a little bit!!! That's crazy!
But to get a little more cynical, I understand that you guys are buying a product, and the team and I will deliver (like a stork!). Success on the backerkit just solidifies we can't take a break just yet, and I'm now going to go back to editing the book for print!
I'm more comfortable doing that than speaking (typing) openly, so I hope you'll all understand!
We've, you, reached our goal in just two hours! Knights of the Wandering Castle vol. 1 & 2 is coming to your 🫵 doorstep.
The question remains now, how many stretch goals can we unlock?
Luny has gone to bed, given it's about 4AM where he's living. Next he wakes, I'm really hoping to knock him out with excitement. Next update, we'll get a word of thanks from the author himself. He's stayed up extremely late with excitement over our progress.
From the bottom of our hearts, between me and Luny, thank you so much for your support! More to come!
