New Year New update!

Hey Everyone!
Sorry for the radio silence for the beginning of the month. I was trying to wait to make this up-date until had good news to offer. But here we are two weeks in to January, and i feel like I have to say at least a little something to yall.
Unfortunately a myriad of minor annoyances delayed my ordering of the comics, and as a result of that, I am still waiting for the comics to be printed etc.
So unfortunately this likely means that shipping will be delayed... and by how much, I am not certain.
Here is the status: I'm just waiting on stuff to be made and sent to me so I can send things to you.
-------------------
Future Plans:
Over the last few months I have been tinkering on multiple projects... and none of them are really in a place to move forward out of "pre production" as it were. So on the Kickstarter front, I honestly dont know if I will have anything coming out for a while. I wanted to do the TTRPG Zine thing in february, but i am still drawing art for my project, and I havent even started cleaning up the rules explanations. Also, also, I realized that making an entire book in photoshop is the WRONG way to do it... in fact I am losing my allegiance to Adobe in general... but I digress.
This is just one of the things that has been slowing down progress on my projects, but its a major thing. Learning new Programs takes a ton of time to produce the level of art that I know i can make if only i had mastery of the proper tools.
So here are my goals for 2023:
Make at least 1 comic (i dont have any scripts ready to be drawn yet, so this involves finalizing a script too, But I have a few ideas in the works)
Try to finish up Delving in the Dark, the smaller and less complex table top game I am working on.
Work on OMEGA, the more complex ttrpg.
Do a LOT more character commission art work.
-------------------
Again, sorry for the delay in production! I am but one person juggling many projects and the holidays were especially stressful this year for me, being the first year my family has felt comfortable doing holiday things since the pandemic started. Stacked ontop of the Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Years, my nephew, mother, and one of my sisters all have birthdays crammed into there as well.
But things are returning to some semblance of normalcy. And I will keep everyone informed of progress as soon as I have news to share!
NOV Update

Hey Folks, just a quick update here.
The short version is that time got away from me as I was working on a few things here and there, and I am only JUST starting to work on the last few pages of OW#2 so I can get this stuff to the printers.
The printer i use is still having paper supply issues... or at least their warning of supply issue delays is still in effect. I am hoping to still get everything together and to be able to ship in January. But i wouldn't want it to come as a surprise if things are running a little late.
I feel absolutely terrible about this folks. I know lot's of creators on KS will ask for funding before they even start on a project, but I felt like it would be a point of pride to not have too long of a delay between campaigns ending and shipping beginning. And even though it's only my 3rd campaign... I feel like I am letting myself down by not being more punctual... and in turn, that makes me feel like I am letting you all down too.
I have a few jobs I am doing for some commission work, but I'm hoping to have all this stuff done by the end of NOV so that I can order the comics and aim to ship by the end of Jan/Early Feb?
Hope your Halloween season was good!

Stretch Goal Progress!

Hey folks!
I know we didn't hit the stretch goals, but like I said, we were so close to the goal, and they were projects I was already working on... so here is the Alpha version 1.0 playtest rules for the single player TTRPG I have been working on.
I will be adding rules for 5 more Delving Goals (Right now the only Goal Card i have defined is Boss Monster Fights, But I will be adding things like Research Curse, Locate Missing Person, and Study Anomaly among others to make your delving more interesting on repeat play throughs. To string those repeat delves I will also be adding a Campaign mode with a long term goal to achieve.
The Game itself uses playing cards and a six sided die. You play as one of 22 dungeon delver archetypes exploring The Living Dungeon. You must survive the perils of a randomly generated dungeon to collect treasure and (once the campaign mode is done) build up a thriving town!
Please play the game! Please give feedback! I will be doing a campaign for this in February for the next #ZineQuest so feed back is greatly appreciated! I know it's branching outside comics, but hopefully you find it fun!

Hey Folks!
Just letting you know here that I have set the orders on backerkit to lock in 48hrs (for those that completed the survey.)
I am not sure who needs to fill out the survey still, there are 12 un answered... so if you only bought digital comics, and dont care about add ons, dont worry about the survey. but if you got Physical goods, or want to look at addons, make sure to check your email for Osrynn West 1 and 2 Backerkit survey!
Have a great week!

Backerkit Survey Hiccup FIXED!
over 1 year ago
– Thu, Sep 08, 2022 at 05:26:49 PM
Real quick update everyone.
I had a few settings confused about collecting shipping data and it resulted in some of the backer tiers not getting their surveys sent. I was able to talk to customer service and get it all straightened out, and behind the scenes its saying all the surveys HAVE been sent.
So if you didnt get one earlier, check your emails and send me a message if you still dont see the survey and we'll keep trouble shooting!
Thank you for your patience everyone! Sorry for kerfuffle!
Jeff
