It's our weekly update... how are all of your weeks going? The countdown continues until our July 21st launch date! Until then, we have more to share with you all~
The concept art continues
Our stone-throwing neighbor Niamh was the winner of last week's character art poll! It was pretty close, though... (sorry, dear Austin). We decided to throw in an extra Mr. Tom for you, too, just for giggles.

Since we had some active discussion in the last thread, we want to make some notes on how to view concept art: please keep in mind that all of our concepts are... well, concepts! What that means is that these are early development sketches from artist, Corin.
Concept art is an integral part of the process--without starting somewhere, we would not be able to explore ideas, collect detailed feedback from K.F. Breene, or refine those notes into final illustrations. So, please consider all the preview artwork you see to be "not final" unless explicitly stated. We'll be adding a little note to images as well to make that clearer!
We deeply thank you for keeping your comments constructive and respectful, and remember that final approvals will always come from Queen Breene herself 😉
Additionally, there is always a real person behind all of the work you see here. This campaign is an ✨ AI-FREE ✨project, which means that every part of this campaign--from the writing and previews all the way to the finished products, will always be made by a real human (except for Katie, who we suspect may not be a Jane like most of us, haha).
Chat your way to the top
Now that folks are trickling in and chatting with each other, new features have been unlocked... our project now has a Leaderboard on the front page! We like to sprinkle a little bit of bonus fun into our campaigns, so, you never know, there might be a few special thank-you's for the top folks on the board :]
Keys and Creature Features
Our Key Upgrade unlock goal is over 2/3 of the way there! When we hit 3000 followers on this campaign, the unlock is applied to everyone who early-pledged for the keychain. I think we might hit it before the end of the month, what about you?
And, since we all love the creatures in Leveling Up... which one is your favorite? We've got a new poll for you to vote in, below. The winning creature might find their way into an upcoming reward for the campaign, so choose wisely 🦇
We'll see you next time!
Our next update will be Thursday, on June 18, with some exciting news about Launch Day stream, including a special guest host who some of you may already be familiar with. See you then!
