Wow!! What an end! We hit almost EXACTLY our goal big expansion pack stretch goal at the last minute!!! Let's look at what we unlocked, and what to expect going forward for Lava Run. Thank you so much.
If you missed our finale, we barely hit our 1000% funded stretch goal with our last 10 minutes! At this tier we unlocked a full expansion pack to go with our classic game! Now a lot of the art for this expansion is still being worked on, and I'll update you on details soon, but I can give you a little hint!
🌊 H2O-NO! - Lava Run Expansion Pack🌋
This water themed expansion to Lava Run adds 9 optional event tiles and 4 new playable dinosaurs to the classic game! These new tiles include catastrophic events to completely turn the tide of the game, like the Flood tile which makes everyone discard their lava, or the Hurricane to completely mix up the board!
It also includes 4 playable dinosaurs to the game, each with their own special ability! Draw in the competition with the musical Parasaurolophus, or escape to a safe square with the totally out of place Plesiosaur.
The list of tiles and dinos will be announced asap along with the art, once it's done! I'll keep you in the loop.
📅 Backer Timeline
Now that the campaign is over, it's time to get this in your hands! Here's the timeline and what to expect as a backer in the coming months:
November 2024 - Surveys - I'll be sending you a short survey to go through your pledges and add-ons. This will be your chance to your chance to choose customizations like pin types, and provide addresses for shipping.
February 2025 - Last Chance Changes - You'll have until around February to make changes to address while we wait for manufacturing to complete.
March 2025 - Fulfillment - It is my goal to get your orders our even sooner than this, but that all depends on shipping. Expect Lava Run arriving to your home by around March.
By the way, you can still pre-order Lava Run and even add-on some last minute goodies before we start fulfillment! Pre-orders will still be at the discounted backer price, but will not go towards further stretch goals.
As a final gift to thank you for your support, we've got one more collaboration dinosaur pattern as extra gifts for Lava Run backers and Club Crochet members! The adorably ferocious final addition is from the designer CuriousPapaya, aka Amy, who created this incredibly cuddly carnivorous cutie!
Woooooow, Lava Run literally JUST got funded and you're already itching for more? Well fine, I do have a secret I can share... our next project is titled Stitch'd: War You Can Craft! If you haven't heard of it, this is a game I've been working on for a long time, even before Lava Run, and I've always wanted to truly complete and expand it.
There's obviously a LOT more left to do for this project, so be ultra patient with me. I'll keep you updated of course, but I intend on doing this whole sha-bang again around the same time next year - Late 2025. I've learned a lot from this first amazing project and still have a lot more to learn, so I can't wait to make it even more grand with one of my favorite creations ever!
If you want to learn more about what I'm calling the beta version of Stitch'd, you can still find it, rules and all, on the page I built for it here. However, I plan on taking that down before the campaign, so let me know what you think!
If you have any questions going forward, you can comment below or reach me directly at [email protected].
Thank you so much again for your support! Happy hookin' -Louie
