Happy weekly update and 4th of July to our USA backers that celebrate,

Thank you all for your patience - it's been a little rocky given we're navigating some unfamiliar territory for both of us, but the PDF has had the edits applied. All that's left is a few notes I threw Grey's way (I'm sure he's very happy to look at those after all that)

Right now we are triple checking to make sure all our tax and shipping numbers are right. We definitely don't want to mess those up! We'll be sending out backerkit surveys once we've confirmed it, so look for those soon (we're aiming within the next week or so). 

Once those are all set and done, we should be providing everyone with the 0.9 PDF.

I'll keep everyone as up to date as I am able!

Thanks again,

Happy Weekly Update everyone,

Last week ended up a bit more hectic than anticipated, but things are back on track. On top of finishing up the fixes to the PDFs, we should be finalizing shipping info soon as well so hopefully we'll have those updates pretty close to one another for you all.

One other thing I'm deciding on is how quickly to release the "Options Menu" blog posts once we've sent out the Ver 0.9 PDF. I was thinking one every other day or so (to give people a chance to digest each but also get them out in a timely manner) but maybe weekly for those as well? I'll probably just play it by ear.

Anyway, thanks again everyone. See you next update!

Happy Weekly update everyone!

Grey has made some really good progress in the last week. He's been chipping away at the mountain of edits at a rate that leaves me expecting we'll have some exciting news for everyone soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

(Let's hope I didn't jinx it right there!)

That said, I know that doesn't leave us much to talk about this update so let me include this preview of the "Option Menu" blog posts that will have various ways to customize BREAK!! in a quick and easy way.

This one is compatible with the Battle Princess included in the preview PDF, so I thought it'd be a useful one to show off:

See you all next update!

Happy Weekly Update everyone!

Grey has let me know he's just over halfway finished applying the edits from our proofreader, so he's making good progress.  As usual, I'll keep everyone informed as best I can.

I also had a few people ask about the story of BREAK!!'s development - while my video creating skills still require a lot to be desired, I did do something to try and tell that story, at least from my end!

Happy Weekly Update everyone! It's a short one this time.

"Logistics" was the name of the game last week - a bunch of little things that needed to be sorted out. It looks like those are mostly resolved so we've been pressing on. Grey is a little over a quarter of the way through applying the edits I mentioned in the last update. It's a very fiddly process involving a lot of moving parts, but progress is steady.

As mentioned in a few other spots, I've been working more on some blog posts to publish once the preview is out. This is a series tentatively titled Option Menu, and each one is about customizing and tweaking a different aspect of BREAK!! to your needs and preferences. These also serve as a means for me to discuss the design philosophy behind said facets, so they should make for good reads even if you plan on using the game as is. I hope they end up being entertaining and useful for folks.

Anyway, that's it for now. See you next week!
