Thank y'all for patiently waiting on us.
We had been hit by some low morale and sporadic health problems in the last few months, but things are progressing. The letters have just been finished.
Those grains and colourations aren't dirt, but grains of coffee and stains of tea. Each letter is a little bit different.
Next on the bench is Ilar's sigil lino-cut. That could be done in a few days. After that we'll move on to the hand-drawn art.
We can't wait to finish it all and get it into your hands!
Fulfillment plan incoming, and a preview of the CD package

Dear weary travelers,
Stop for a moment, take a deep breath, soften your jaw, relax your shoulders, un-shrimp your neck, and have a listen!
86% of surveys have been filled. That's a solid A in my book.
Now I feel confident in saying we can send out the rewards starting in a week or two, and finish the endeavor 2 months from now. But given my track record for estimating timelines, we should maybe call it 2-3 months.
Nim will be hard at work on the lino cuts, hand drawn art, and around 100 letters from Ilar. I will handle the prints and the CD.
Speaking of which, you should know that since the game's file-size increased substantially, we can no longer fit it on one CD and have decided to use a double-disc format. We're using a classy vinyl style design and a bluray/game box. I know in the initial mockup we showed a CD jewel case, but it occurred to us recently that most people who enjoy collecting games and film probably have these kind of boxes.
I'll show the printed outer cover when we make some nice prints of it and fit it onto the box.
I hope you like this design. But if you have a strong preference for a more old-school kind of case(shown below), please let us know. We can do our best to make you happy.
Most orders have been locked and cards will be charged soon. If you want to make any changes, reach out to us and we'll help you out.
Take care out there,
Ze

A good day of the Moon to you all, gentlefolk.
Over 79% of surveys have been answered.
If you haven't picked your rewards yet, please do it. If you can't find the survey, let us or backerkit know, we'll find it for you. :)
We will lock down all orders soon, which means you won't be able to change or add any add-ons, so if you want to do that, please reach out to us.
Here is what will happen next:
For those of you coming from Kickstarter, and has only digital rewards:
You'll get the rewards as soon as you answer the survey and we lock down the order. (Some of you already received them)
If you have any orders from Backerkit, and has only digital rewards:
We will lock the order, then charge your card for any amount you haven't paid yet, then once you answer the survey, you'll get those rewards.
If you have physical rewards, please wait a little longer.
The digital rewards can only be distributed once cards are charged. But we can't charge cards until we know how many of each item we need to produce and how long it will take to do it.
When we have this information, we can lock orders down, charge cards, and you'll get the digital rewards right away, then the physical stuff in the mail later.
We will make sure to update y'all every step of the way, so you can see how the production is going and get a glimpse of the ever-solidifying end-date.
Thanks so much for supporting us, you are all saints!
Until next update

We made a whoopsie with the survey emails, but that has been fixed now. Now backerkit is showing all emails have gone out, so if you check your email again, you should find it there.
Thanks for letting us know about the issues! Keep it up and we'll try to fix anything else that comes up as soon as we can!

Stop reading, check your emails and answer that survye, if you please. :)
Can't find it? Try the junk folder?
Why are you still reading this?
The sooner we get most of the surveys responses back, the sooner we'll be able to lock down the orders, and start distributing the rewards. When that happens, you'll be able to get your digital rewards instantly through Backerkit, that means the Art collection, the OST, and the game keys. Then, we'll be producing the physical rewards to be shipped out hopefully around the first quarter of next year.
Thanks for supporting us thus far, take care out there!
