September progress update: digital rewards and manufacturing
over 5 years ago – Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 07:19:50 PM

As we begin to move further into our manufacturing time frame, we are happy to announce that almost all of our artwork, game components, and extras are either finished or moving into the final phases of creation and quality assurance with a strong chance of completion by the end of October. Since we are a little behind our previously proposed schedule of getting all of our files to the manufacturer by the end of September, there could be a small delay expected when it comes time to ship Steepseers (keep an eye out for updates later on). We would also like to note that our digital reward package containing the soundtrack and digital coloring book is nearly complete (we are just waiting on the final stretch goal track!) and will be released in a few weeks to those backers. If you are interested in hearing our latest song, which highlights the journey of the First Oracle, you can hear a sample from the track below:

Wasn’t that enchanting? We think so! To end on a high note, we have been watching the creation of the wooden tarot boxes closely, and we can report that they are coming along beautifully and will definitely make an impression! Stay tuned for our next update coming next early next month, as well as updates regarding the digital package if ordered. Happy Steepseeing!

Getting ever closer...

Hello everyone! While we may have been quiet on the social media front lately, rest assured that we are working tirelessly to get Steepseers onto its next step: manufacturing. We have a few components left to finalize in the game itself, as well as a few components related to the extras. All of the artwork is complete and submitted and the cards are ready to go. The main components left to put together are the game box, dice layout, token sheet layout, and some final touches on the booklet that comes with the oracle card set and the coloring book. Although we are behind schedule slightly, we are trying our best to make up for the slip. We're aiming to kickoff the prototype round of production with our manufacturer by the end of September.   If any further delays come up, we'll be sure to let you know!

Currently, 70% of backers have completed their surveys. This means we have 70% of the names we need for the rule book and website "Thank you" pages. The website has been updated to include the names we currently have (check it out), and we will continue to add to it as more names come in. The rule book is on more of a deadline though, and if we don't get your names in before we start production (end of September hopefully), there's nothing we can do. So hurry and complete those surveys!  If you've lost it, just go to https://steepseers.backerkit.com and re-generate your survey.

Summer convention schedule, surveys, and new artwork
over 5 years ago – Tue, Aug 14, 2018 at 03:22:50 PM

As summer begins to wind down, KinSoul Studio members have been preparing for their upcoming convention showings, as well as continuing their efforts on Steepseers.  To see our newest offerings, demo both Steepseers and Alkemia:  Destiny's Recipe, or to just catch up with us, we will be attending the following conventions:

Flame Con (New York, NY) - August 18,19

Queen City Conquest (Buffalo, NY) - September 7, 8, 9

As you may have seen, our backer surveys have been sent out via BackerKit a few weeks ago.  If you have not received your survey link or cannot locate it, please let us know and we will make sure that it gets to you.  Also, remember that it is through the survey that all add-on options can be ordered and confirmed as well. 

Last but not least, our last batch of vision card artwork is currently being finalized.  In this batch, we would like to present a near-complete sketch of the Beast Tamer, belonging to the Fabled Heroes set:

BackerKit and survey finalization underway

We hope that everyone is having a wonderful summer so far!  First, we are happy to announce that we have completed the draft creation of our BackerKit package.  We would like to thank everyone for their patience as we worked out all of our add on options, and we are extremely happy with all of the great options that will be available including a wide range of t-shirt customization, late game pledging, and wood burned box fabric inlays + staining.  More importantly, surveys will be sent out ASAP when the review process is complete.

Second, we have been hard at work finalizing our art and layouts for the manufacturing process.  Reflecting on our current project, we would like to share a sample of the full art cards that will be included with the fortune telling deck:

We will continue to make progress updates throughout the greater process as we work with our manufacturer, artists, and vendors.  Until then, we are looking forward to assisting and answering any questions during our upcoming survey process.
