Daedalus Station and the Rimspace Racing League

Hello everyone,

The proofing pass on Daedalus Station is now complete! I've gone through and adjusted all the mistakes flagged by Christian and removed some placeholder stuff. You can access the new pdf for it here and the new version of Hit the Ground Running here. It turns out that digital downloads aren't sent until the surveys are sent out and you lock your addresses so that's why nothing was sent to your emails. 

Speaking of, the next order of business is to sort out those surveys. Over the next week or two, you should get an email to lock in your information and pay for shipping. I'll send out a reminder when this happens.

All the best,
S. Murphy

Hello everyone!

Good news! I've managed to bang out the fixed up pdf for Daedalus Station and it should be available to you now. The process ended up taking a few hours but it turned out well enough in the end. 

Also hitting your inbox is the first version of Octopus Ink Games' Hit the Ground Running, a stretch goal pamphlet adventure set on Daedalus Station and the dusty planet it orbits. We're gonna try and touch up the layout and iron out the wording for this one but it's totally playable and good to go.

Our next step is to get Daedalus proofed. That job is in the hands of Meatcastle Gameware, an excellent, highly reliable editor I've worked with in the past. Current estimate is that it'll take ~2 weeks but I'll let you all know if anything changes.

Cheers,
S. Murphy

Hey there everyone,

Hope you're all keeping well and the new year is treating you okay.

Unfortunately we've hit a small setback with the project. Over the last month I've repeatedly tried to get into contact with the layout artist but haven't been able to get through to them to get the unproofed pdfs. I'm not sure what's going on, there are any number of reasonable personal reasons why this has been the case, but it's meant that the pdfs haven't been able to go out for proofing.

I do have a back up plan to make sure the project goes on though. I've managed to import the last working pdf I was sent into my layout program and tracked down the fonts that were used. Doing this has screwed up all of the line weights and leading so I'll need to manually go through and fix the whole document before it can be sent off for proofing. I expect this process to take around several hours so it'll be a pain in the ass but doable.

Sorry about the bad news! It sucks that something like this has come up just after funding but I'll make sure this get backs on track and that you all have the book in your hands soon. In some better news, Teuthida from Octopus Ink Games has finished up the first draft of the stretch goal adventure Hit the Ground Running and I've taken a swing a blocking out the layout for it. We should be able to get an early version of it into your hands (well, files technically) by the time I sort out fixing the Daedalus PDF (shooting for late next week).

Will keep you all updated with any news when I get it. I'm shooting for an update each month at the very least until this book is out the door.

All the best,
Sean

Hello everyone,

Thanks again for making this campaign such a success. Here's what's going to happen over the next little while:
- I'm going to get the unproofed pdfs off Eric and release them to you all. I'm also going to upload the remastered version of Alone in the Deep
- Meatcastle Gameware is going to proof the PDFs over the next few weeks. The shipping survey will be released to you all.
- Proofed pdfs will go out to backers and the printers. 

More information on the stretch goals coming soon as I get it/have stuff to show.

Cheers,
Sean
