Project Update: 24 Hours In and 500% funded! Thank you!

Hello everyone! First of all, Nick, Ian, and the whole team want to say thank you so much for your initial response and reactions to the launch. We did not think we'd hit 500% funding in the first 24 hours. That is absolutely wild, and we're incredibly grateful to you all. Eldritch Automata has been a work of passion for some time now and we're excited to finally share it with you all. From the amazing art that we're working on behind the scenes to the lore and setting refinements, this game is going to blow you away, we promise.

I want to take a moment to recap what we've unlocked and shared so far in the first day. We have eight (8) stretch goals unlocked, a new tier added, and Deluxe Edition upgrades for the Architect, Become A Pilot, Become A Horror, and Be The Automata tiers. We have some more exciting stretch goals waiting and some other announcements we can't wait to share, but let's take a look at the road so far.

We launched at 9 AM Eastern on June 25 with a $10K US goal. You all helped us SMASH that goal in just over 30 minutes and proceeded to steamroll through eight stretch goals in less than 12 hours. We unlocked:

THREE in-depth location modules to be added to the core rulebook - The Forge (featured in The Dark Passenger starter operation in the Quicklaunch Guide (download here if you haven't already), The Pegasus (a flying airbase that helps deploy Automata and pilots quickly across the globe), and The Academy (a pilot training facility where pilots learn how to ride their Automata and battle real threats out in the Wastelands).
A special Deluxe edition release of the core rulebook and upgrades for the All-In tier and higher, which will feature a leatherette cover with a metallic embossed Seraph design and overall improved paper and binding quality.
An Alchemy Enhanced Edition for our VTT users, with a full upgrade package on Alchemy with fully animated scenes, thematic motion overlays, ambient sound beds and soundtrack, dynamic audio, and ready-to-play pre-built scenes.
The Eldritch Arms Collection will be added to the core rulebook and equipment deck - a set of legendary weapons for your Automata that come from eldritch sources and grant massive power but with a cost to the pilot that may be too much to bear...
A new set of twenty-four (24) pre-generated characters for use as player characters or NPCs with a variety of pilot/automata builds.
And a new Operation added to the core rulebook penned by noneother than Beam Saber creator Austin Ramsay! Though Austin is already contributing to the core rulebook, this Operation will give players a new style of scenario to play through, focusing on the harsh realities of survival in the Wastelands.

And that's just the start. We're currently working our way toward unlocking Homefront, a fully separate book release and the first official supplement for Eldritch Automata. E//A: Homefront will focus on survival in the Wastelands, how individuals have come to survive in the case of Horrors, Automata, and shadow groups bent on destroying or controlling them. We'll explore the world of Eldritch Automata more, as well as new mechanics for play without an Automata to protect you and more!

After that, we have more Operations and some VERY unique stretch goals to unlock that we're very excited for. Stay tuned for more reveals, and keep sharing the campaign! The more of your friends you get to back, the more we can add to the game and share with you!

So buckle in pilots. The launch was successful and we've defeated the first round of Horrors, but there's plenty more on the way!

Cheers,
Nick, Ian, and the Eldritch Automata and Gehenna Gaming teams
