Project Update: Welcome Back — Layout In Progress
Thank you all for your patience and concern while we've struggled to get the ship back on track. Possum Creek is now proudly an imprint of our newfound parent company Steve Jackson Games, and after eight or so months where it wasn't clear if Possum Creek would survive the turbulent financial waters, I'm excited to say we're back at it and we're getting Grand Guignol & Harvest out the door. The new goal list is as follows:
- Ruby is hard at work doing the layout for both books (some teasers at the end of this update)
- Then, we'll actually charge all of you for shipping via Backerkit (as we haven't done that yet, and we now have updated shipping rates from SJGames's fulfillment center, Warehouse 23.)
- Then, we'll send out the PDFs of both games, and send the games to the printers. We anticipate that we'll be using a domestic printer, so tariffs won't have a major impact here.
- Then, once the books arrive to our warehouse, we'll ship them out to all of you.
I would also like to take a moment to apologize for the lack of communication between ourselves and all of you. There was a chunk of time in 2024 in which we had no clue what the future was going to look like, in ways I couldn't comfortably talk about without putting any potential future in jeopardy. It left me in a frustrating double-bind, and it left all of you holding the bag. I apologize. I wish I had been clearer during the periods when I could've, and that I could've been clearer during the periods where I couldn't. Possum Creek having a parent company (with timelines, budgets, and dedicated administrative staff) means we now have a lot more safeguards against this kind of disaster occurring again, and it means we can get you your books as promptly as possible over the next few months.
Speaking of, here are Ruby's layouts-in-progress, to get a taste of what she's been up to!
Thank you all again, and I'll update you again next month.

Hey as others have said 8 months is a very long time to keep your backers in the dark on project development. Please provide an update and a reliable timeline for rewards. Cheers Ken

We haven't had an update in 8 months. I know you had a lot of things to do with Yazeba's B&B. But I received mine months and months ago and there has been no update on this. Just we're still here would be nice something like that.

...to receive some feedback. The project still seems incredible and exciting, but a whole year since its completion with so few communications makes the wait a little difficult. I hope that you are not facing any problem, and you could tell us about schedules. Bests!
