Project Update: November Update!

Hey y'all! I apologize for the long wait in updating. I've had a lot going on in my life but things are progressing well. Here's our check in for GMROM:

Art
  • About 50% finished!
  • Per the vision of our Art Director, we are working with a very large and diverse team, which means that organizing everything takes longer!
  • We have a large variety of different styles being presented in the book intentionally.

Narrative
  • Our Romance System (tracking, dating, dispute, serenade, intimacy) is 80% finished with 4 of our designers having turned in their drafts. Sensitivity/cultural checks and then editing are our next steps.
  • Essayists have begun their process of writing!
  • Additional "splat" content will be drafted soon. (NPCs, date locations/ideas, gifts, conversation/dialogue.)

Additional Add-Ons
  • Backers who chose the Art Deco Card add-on with their pledge are currently being worked on. If you have not responded to our email about this, please reach out and we'll get you sorted.
  • Letters From A Romantic backers please reach out via email so we can get you sorted! Drafting these will begin soon and we want you to receive your reward.

New timeline
Due to some chaos on our backend and the overall state of the world, we are expecting that our timeline might be pushed slightly later than first anticipated. I had initially estimated that we would be finished with production by the end of December, but now it is looking more like February for post-production. From there Metal Weave Games will begin layout and pushing our book to printer in the Spring of 2025, if not sooner. Digital fulfillment will occur before printing. Again, I apologize for the delay.

All that being said: thank you for supporting our project and we are looking forward to delivering a quality resource for GMs everywhere.

Want to support the project?
We'd love to ship you this wonderful project soon. Please support queer art with a pre-order of How To GM Romance today. It's not too late!

I was wondering what the current timeline looks like it will be for the Hopeless Romantic Tier. Since the Essayists have just started off, and adding those characters seems like it will take time. Surveys were sent out a bit ago with preferred emails to reach out about them, so I just wanted to be sure nothing's been missed! Excited to see more of this project!

I am wanting to change from Digital Pledge to the Tools of a Romantic Pledge. Can you tell me any more details on doing it.

Project Update: Surveys Starting to go out!

Hey all!
Andreas (publisher) here,
The team is already hard at work on the book, and I apologize for the delay on not getting the surveys out sooner.

I've just sent out the initial 'smoke test' of the surveys (which go out to a small portion of you). If you see any issues or things don't seem right, please free to comment about them here. I plan on sending out everyone's survey later this afternoon (if you still see things, still please let us know).

For those who are getting named, illustrated, or deco cards, we'll be reaching out once you complete your survey.

Thanks, and hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Andreas and the GMROM Team

Project Update: WE DID IT! (3 STRETCH GOALS UNLOCKED)

With $40,600 - we are funded!


Thanks to all of our backers and supporters! Whether you pledged money or shared with your friends, you're a big part of our success. I'm so excited to finish development on this project that has been 18 months in the works! You can expect that we will wrap production by December - from there we'll begin fulfilling to our backers after manufacturing.

You'll be hearing from us with updates as we gets sections wrapped and we'll try to provide some sneak peeks without spoiling the entire book. :)

I'm gonna go take a nap.
