Project Update: August 2026 Update - Future Updates Moving to Bi-Monthly Schedule
Hello forebearing felines,
I don't have any big updates on the progress of our project this month. Because our updates have been pretty much the same for a long period, I'm going to switch up the frequency that I post them.
I don't have any big updates on the progress of our project this month. Because our updates have been pretty much the same for a long period, I'm going to switch up the frequency that I post them.
Here are my plans as we navigate updates for our remaining rewards:
When will the Curious Cats of Mau hardcover rewards be ready? Currently, Onyx Path has just finished shipping out one project, have two more at the printer right now, and then plan to work through their backlog over the next year by possibly printing two or more projects at a time. To manage expectations and keep things flexible, Rich has said that he won't be providing a schedule or list of which projects he expects to go in what order, but we'll know as stuff actually is in process at the printer. So, we'll continue to need patience as we wait for the Curious Cats of Mau book to get manufactured. The second I have any concrete news, I'll share. In the meantime, your best source is direct from the horse's mouth: Rich's weekly Monday Meeting Notes Blog and Onyx Path's monthly progress report.
When will the Jumpstart be ready? I think we've still got a bit of a wait for these ones. Some other Onyx Path projects have had artist rotations and re-assignments as avilability and reliability have shifted, and it looks like the Onyx Path crew is still lining up Realms of Pugmire artists, so I think it'll be a bit before we see dots filling in for layout and proofing before these rewards is distributed to us.
When will the shirt design / streaming overlay / mobile wallpapers be ready? For these stretch goal bonus items, I think they'll just appear one day. These are usually based on the artwork from a Storyguide Screen, though they have different dimensions and formatting, so may pop up at different times. Really, it's just about finding the time to do hammer them together, and when the Onxy Path crew find that moment, these should come together quickly.

Of course, my challenge for the next updates is to post practically the same information over and over again without being annoying. I don't think there's a wayfor me to do that. So, here's my plan for future updates:
FUTURE UPDATE PLAN
Bi-Monthly Schedule - as long as the status for all rewards remains the same, I will post our regular update every other month. Our next update will come in October.
Again, I'll only do that if there's nothing new to announce. If there's movement on any of the rewards, I'll update as soon as I have something to share rather than waiting two months to fill in a dot.
Does that make sense? I hope so. If anyone has better ideas, let me know. I want to make sure that you know the project is still alive and (slowly) moving toward completion, but I don't want to tread on your patience more than I already have to share "no change, still in progress" updates. Cool?
