It's almost February and this is your January update for The Dose Makes The Poison. Sorry for the lateness (am I the last Mothership Month-er to get an update out? Maybe). But first, OTHER NEWS:
TDMTP layout and design wiz Norgad has a new module in the works, so you should go and follow Brackish now. Norg's last module, Deadweight, was one of the best received 3pp modules released last year, and I have high hopes for this one from that slick landing page alone. Go and follow Brackish.
Right, now The Dose Makes The Poison stuff:
Headline 1: Draft script of the adventure part of the module is with the editor, still a bit of writing to do for the stretch goals
The festive period was less productive than I'd hoped (10 folks staying for Christmas 😬), and I was hit with a week of illness that I believe comes as part of any crowdfunding campaign, but I've handed my first draft of the adventure part of the module to my editor, DG Chapman. I'm still working to finish the stretch goal pages - the additional back story and plot hooks. In an ideal world I want all this portion sewn up by the middle of February so we can get into design proper.
Headline 2: Surveys going out next week
Before the holidays I made good progress getting this set up, but then took a break from Backerkit as it felt like I'd been living inside it for a month. Next week, I'm looking to get the smoke test (a test sent to 5% of backers to make sure there's no issues) out, then follow that up with the survey for everyone else shortly after that. Here you can confirm your order, and add in extras or upgrade your pledge should you wish. Shipping will be added later, closer to the mail out date.
Headline 3: Hope's Serum ad in progress
I've storyboarded this, next thing is to get this over to Norgad to get the various illustrations done for each scene and then on to the animator to, er, animate.
Headline 4: Early backer patch things
I've found a nice, communicative company in the UK for making these. I'm about to order a sample patch which will take about 3 weeks to arrive, so hopefully will have that to show next update.
That's enough for today. A very text heavy update this one, so here's a pic of my puppy with his head in a boot:
