Hi everyone!

It’s been a few weeks since our Kickstarter campaign came to a close, and we just wanted to take a moment to say thank you once again! ❤️ The incredible support, enthusiasm, and belief in Forge of the Fae from each and every one of you has truly inspired our entire team. We’re so excited to bring this game to life for you!

We’ve been hard at work setting up the next steps, and we’re happy to share that we’ll soon be sending out surveys through BackerKit. These surveys will let you provide important information, like shipping details and add-on selections, so we can make sure everything is prepared for fulfillment. While we don’t have an exact date yet, we’ll be sure to give you a heads-up when it’s ready!

Bonus: How about a sneak peek at some new art? 😻 

In the meantime, the team is already diving into the development of some of the art and exciting features you helped unlock through your incredible support. We can’t wait to share progress updates and sneak peeks with you in the months ahead. This journey is just beginning, and we’re thrilled to have you along for the ride.

Thank you for being part of this amazing adventure! Your encouragement and passion mean the world to us! Stay tuned for more updates soon. ❤️‍🔥

Post-Campaign Update #1
about 2 months ago – Sat, Oct 26, 2024 at 07:41:06 AM

Hi everyone.

We did it! 🎉 Thanks to each and every one of you, the Forge of the Fae campaign has soared beyond our wildest dreams, closing at an incredible $207K! We're absolutely thrilled and humbled by your support, and we can't wait to embark on this magical journey together.

Important Payment Update 🛠

We've noticed that some folks are experiencing issues with payments being declined, especially when using the Kickstarter mobile app. If you've received a notification about a declined payment, don't worry! Here's a quick fix to try:

• Please log into Kickstarter via a web browser on your computer or mobile device. This seems to resolve the issue for most backers.
• Kickstarter will automatically retry failed payments over the next 7 days, but addressing it now ensures your pledge is secured without delay.

If you're still having trouble, please reach out to Kickstarter support!

What's Next? 🚀

1. Backer Surveys Incoming!

In the coming weeks, we'll be in touch about rewards and preferences. Different rewards will be available at different times, so the main survey for addresses for delivery will happen closer to the release of the game. Keep an eye on your inbox so we can get your goodies to you without a hitch!

2. Unlocked Stretch Goal!

Thanks to your incredible support, even after the main campaign has ended, we've unlocked our next stretch goal: the Harvest Festival Event! 🎉🌾

This event will offer players a fun break from the main story, featuring mini-games, a deeper focus on the relationships between our main characters, and possibly some spooky fun. Depending on how you’ve interacted with different characters and NPCs throughout the game, unique scenes will unfold during the festival. It’s a fun celebration and a perfect way for the cast to bond – and for you to experience new and fun moments in Forge of the Fae. ❤️

3. Exclusive Rewards Reminder

If you pledged for one of our exclusive Kickstarter rewards, like the signed physical OST by Yoshino Aoki, or the special physical editions loaded with goodies, rest assured that we're working hard to make these truly special for you.

Final 12 Hours + Special Update
about 2 months ago – Wed, Oct 23, 2024 at 07:04:11 PM

Our time is finally coming to an end—it's hard to believe! With ONLY 12 HOURS LEFT we're quickly reaching a point of finality and reflection. It truly has been an extraordinary ride, and as we approach 3500 backers, it's surreal just how much encouragement we've received! Forge of the Fae is an absolute passion project for us, and we promise that we'll return all of the gracious support you've given to us in kind! 

There's been discussion on our Discord about the art book, so we'd like to take a little more time to talk about it without going too in-depth. 

First things first, it will be comprehensive! We're aiming for around 150 pages in total. This will be a high quality hardcover Art Book, and it'll be packed with as many additional goodies that we can manage. 

In terms of what's inside, we'll have plenty of full-color illustrations of our concept art. Such as this:

 We'll also devote a healthy amount of pages to the evolution of the project. Our recent update that included a dive into Taliesin should give you a reasonable idea of how that might shake out. As an additional teaser, here are some early concept images from the farming town of Harleck:

Every important location in the game will earn its place in the art book, and we'll be sharing thoughts on the development process (from start to finish) for each of these locations.

Of course there will also be plenty of rad enemies, and some of our design processes for them. In short, this art book will be packed to the brim, and we're very excited to give it and our artists the absolute love and respect they deserve! If you share in that excitement, please consider grabbing a copy, as this is a very limited opportunity!

Finally, before wrapping things up here, let's talk very briefly about our next stretch goal: Advanced Weather System.

This system will add dynamic weather to the world of Forge of the Fae, creating a more immersive experience. Rain, storms, wind, fog, and frost will not only enhance the atmosphere but also impact gameplay in exciting ways. Whether it’s a storm rolling in during a pivotal moment or frost setting the tone for an icy morning, every day in the game will feel alive and unique. 😼

Let's unlock this goal and keep the hype train rolling, there's so much more in store to reveal! 

With just 12 hours remaining, this is the one of the final chances to pledge and secure your exclusive rewards! Don’t let your friends miss out – share the campaign and help us cross the finish line strong.❤️‍🔥 Every share makes a huge difference, and you have all been totally amazing! 😻
