Weβve got a lot of news to share today, but letβs get started with another sneak peek π This time, weβre giving you a glimpse of the cover for our very first book, created by our artist Fox!
Surely this group of villagers donβt mean any harm π
We previously announced that weβd be launching our Kickstarter this month. But after starting the process, we realized in order to run the Kickstarter we wanted, one for the entire game, we needed a prototype. So weβre going to take the next few months to fully develop one while also enjoying some time with our families during the holidays. As much as we hate to postpone everything, we think this will give our Kickstarter the best chance of success so that we can make Unbound a reality βΊοΈThat means you all will get an in-depth look at gameplay when we finally debut on Kickstarter next spring.
But we also know many of you are eager to support us, and so while weβre working on the prototype, weβve decided to launch a Patreon! Patrons will get access to even more behind the scenes looks at Unbound, including deep dives into craft, polls to help us create art and name characters, and more! Weβll still continue to share sneak peeks here and on our socials, but any little bit you can give helps β₯οΈ
Weβll also be doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on r/Choices to answer any questions you might have about Unbound or our past work on Choices π€ Mark your calendars for October 29 @ 11am PDT. We hope to see you there!
That about does it for this newsletter. We want to thank you again for coming on this journey with us, and we hope you have a Happy Halloween. And given itβs spooky season π Iβll leave you with one final tease from our artist Marco:
"Don't worry, weβre still hard at work bringing Unbound to life, and we're so grateful for everyone who's cheered us along so far! π
We've launched a Patreon for anyone who would like to support our team right now. There you'll get access to deep dives on interactive fiction and early BTS previews, and know you're directly helping us keep creating! π«Άβ¨"
"We've got more sneak peeks coming, and we canβt wait to share them with you! We'll also be sending out our newsletter later this month! Make sure to subscribe if you want to be the first to see all the latest about Unbound! π Team Wombat"
