Minor Updates: Kickstarter Approaches

 It's been a month since my last post and my landscape has certainly shifted since then.

#1: I have a Patreon!

It is a quiet little thing, so far. And, even with only a couple weeks' worth of experience, has a couple errors to it. I need to fix those before someone actually joins. It's just been... crazy.

Where is the Patreon, you ask? Why it's here: Wild Dragon Games on Patreon!

#2: I've tried Spider-Man 2!

And I enjoyed the little bit I've played. But, like the theme of the Me continues, I've been busy. And it reminds me that I haven't really finished Miles Morales, and I should really do that. So I returned it to the library after three days. Someone more excited than me (and someone with more time) can appreciate it more than I right now.

#3: Merchandizing! Merchandizing! Merchandizing!

I have designed and ordered a plethora of stickers, buttons, pins, lanyards, shirts, and coins for the Edmonton Expo coming up in about 5 weeks. It was creatively amazing, but it means I've been fielding emails all day. It also means I've dipped into my emergency savings, which isn't great, but otherwise I'd have nothing to really do at the Expo.

After the Expo, I plan to put whatever's left in my inventory up for sale in various places. I don't know where at the moment, but probably Patreon at the least.

#4: How To Play videos!

I put up some how-to-play videos on youtube. I'll post the videos at the end of this blog entry.

#5: Kickstarter Avalanche

The Kickstarter avalanche has begun. I have about a week and a half to put it together. Right now, I'm still agonizing over the budget because I want that down pat before finalizing anything.

Sadly, I need those shirts and stickers I ordered before I can shoot a video. And then I'll have a few days to finalize the Kickstarter page. Whenever I turn around, I feel like three more things have popped up that I need to do. They're like gremlins.

Whose crazy idea was it to shoot a video every day of the Kickstarter? Oh, yeah. It was mine. Yeah. That's a thing I'll be doing. I recommend subscribing to my YouTube channel for that. Because no one really wants daily updates for their Kickstarters.

I am, quite honestly, both filled with excess excitement and excess dread. But I'll figure it out one way or another. I always do.

 

I hope everyone who reads this has a great day. Sincerely.

-MSB

Now Available: Human-Hunter-Monster-Cannibal, Printer-Friendly Edition

After months of roasting our game over a dozen or so fires, our first Printer-Friendly version is now available on itch.io.   This is, honestly, to create some income so that we can afford to make the fun things for the Kickstarter in September. It's also to increase awareness because awareness is good.   No need to explain things more than I already have, but what are our plans for this?   In the short-term, it's to make a little bit of money.   In the long-term, I'll likely have a $10 tier on Kickstarter for the digital version only. But, far more importantly, I plan on redoing every card (again) once the Kickstarter is complete in November. I will put the Kickstarter names on all the Human cards then. I will not add the Kickstarter-exclusive cards to the Printer-Friendly version. I will reduce the black to greys in all areas. I will redo those pesky border lines so they look better. I might add any Expansion the Kickstarter funds as a DLC-type thing. Maybe. Pro...
