Nice knowing you, stretch goals!

Wow, so we blasted through all my planned stretch goals in just over 24 hours, which is insane for me as someone running their first project!

At this point, additional funding will go towards making the print process as incredible as possible (I'm still discussing final specs, but it'll be special no matter what!). It also means a greater certainty that this project will deliver successfully & on time. Thank you all so much for your support, I can't wait to see all the cool items you make!

What an incredible weekend this has been. I'll have more updates over the next few days, as discussed in my first update. If you wanna chat more about the project, leave a comment here or hit me up at @mouseholepress.

Stretch goals!

Yo! I’m back home now, and while my toddler was napping I managed to add all of the stretch goals that we’ve already hit (!) as well as one which is pretty close as I post this...

I’ll be adding more if & when we hit each goal, although we’ve funded so quickly I don’t have many left at this point! 😅

Thanks again for all of your support. I’ll work on the other points from this morning’s post later today.

Funded in less than 6 hours!

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much everybody! This is my first project so I had no idea how it would go, and I had to do a double take this morning when I woke up to see it almost 200% funded!

I have a bunch of stuff I need to post but I’m currently away from home, wrangling a toddler and packing up to travel back later today. Rest assured ASAP I will be sharing:

  1. Stretch Goals! - I have a bunch of cool things to share, some of which we’ve hit already. Rather than rushing them here, I’ll reveal them later when I’m at my desk.
  2. How does The Artefact play? - I’ve had a few comments about what the game is actually like to play, so I thought I’d write a little ‘replay’ or actual play transcript and share it with you some time in the next few days.
  3. Deluxe edition now limited - I’ve limited the deluxe edition to 100 backers, because each one will take quite a lot of extra time to prepare and I don’t want to overstretch myself!
  4. New tier: physical + art print - To make sure everyone still has the option of getting a print of the new CROM cover, I’ve added a new tier at £15 that includes it alongside a physical copy of the game.
  5. Box preview - I‘ll share more details about the packaging for the deluxe edition in an update soon!

Thanks so much again everyone, I will get all the stretch goal details out later today.
