The LAST DAY!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 06:01:25 PM

Well, this is it, Backers... there are less than twenty hours left in the campaign. I can tell you it's been a pretty awesome experience overall. I'll save the sappy stuff for later. Right now, it's time for... THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!! Let's celebrate with this skilled minstrel:

As of this update, we're only $3k away from our holo-foil/emboss stretch goal---an amazing achievement in itself and thanks entirely to your support.

Many of you have gone out of your way to spread the word. Folks have raised their pledges. You told your friends and family about this absolute must-have chameleon/bat book! You've made this campaign a success and then some.

To celebrate, here's one more brand new page. This one features a familiar sssneaky sssalesssman...

I'll continue the outreach as best I can until the last minute of the campaign. Then, after a short break and a strong cup of coffee, I'll move immediately into activating the BackerKit page! Plenty more on that in a future update...

See you soon! ;)

A Cheeky Opportunity...

Are we really down to just TWO DAYS?!

Yeesh... guess we have to celebrate. After countless seconds puzzling over the best possible last minute contest idea, the good folks at Playtonic and I have settled on the perfect idea... to get your name drawn into a panel in the book. BUTT! It's not just any panel...

THAT'S RIGHT! You have the rare chance to have your name emblazoned onto a monster butt! (poor Rupert the Pantless... if only he'd remembered to wear pants)

In order to have a chance to win this disgusting honor you'll need to have a Twitter account. Simply follow both @DreamPrismPress and @PlaytonicGames and retweet THIS TWEET to enter to win! The contest period runs until tomorrow at 8am Pacific / 11am Eastern / 4pm GMT.

The winner will be announced on Playtonic's Twitter account tomorrow! Good luck you silly gooses!

The Final Stretch!
over 5 years ago – Tue, Nov 13, 2018 at 08:43:03 PM

Hey Backers:

With just under ten days left in the campaign, we're getting close to the end! I've been working hard to expand press coverage outside of the games industry. Mostly, I've been reaching out to any and all contact in the comics sphere. I'm really pushing for us to reach that first stretch goal and I'm confident we can hit it!

I've also resumed work on the book coloring a bit earlier than expected. My coloring process does take awhile and I know it's going to be a challenging six months. So, I decided to get a little head start! I snapped a quick photo of the page I'm working on:

 Which brings me to an important question!

I need to gauge which of two directions you'd like the post campaign updates to go. Should I...

(Option A) ...bring you along for the production process in detail at the cost of spoiling the story. Or...

(Option B) ...keep mostly quiet and keep the story/art a surprise?

Of course you can always ignore the progress updates. But I know it can be tempting to check out those sneak peeks. Let me know your thoughts below!

WOAH! One Week Left!

Hi Backers:

That's right, we're down to the last week of the campaign! To celebrate, here's a full look at the page I teased the other day:

Thanks for your feedback regarding backer updates post campaign. It's clear to me that people want to avoid spoilers so I'm going to try and keep you updated on progress without revealing too much. Take the work-in-progress page above, for example. I had planned to show a page from a later section of the book, but instead chose this one since it's close to the beginning of the book.

It's a hard balance to strike. It's important to show off the work to bring in more backers... but I don't want the whole story spoiled!

I think this is one of those times I'm supposed to ask you to really get the word out. Time is short for new backers and we have a fair ways to go to reach the first stretch goal. I'm still confident we can hit it!

Once again, thanks for your continued support. It means the world to me!
