Hello, travelers!
We have passed our third stretch goal, unlocking some new alien lore as well as the secret alien solo journalling game Homeworld Song. This section of the game is intended to be viable as its own evocative sc-fi game experience, but will also be the perfect way to generate deep, complex alien character histories and NPCs!
I wanted to share a little bit of the lore we're working on. All this is WIP, but zoom in there and you'll learn some interesting things about the planet of Aern where the invaders come from!
Our next stretch goal is at 23k -- we'll be announcing new stretch goals soon. In the meantime, check out this awesome animation Breno Macedo and Emanoel Melo of the (work in progress! art not final!) Satchel Box and expansions!
Have a great day! As always, hit me up with all questions and concerns!
Ted

Our second stretch goal has been passed! We will be adding two new doggo imprints to Westward Bound! We'll be getting to work on these right away and will share progress when we have it.
What a lovely first day of a Kickstarter we've had, here at the 20 hour mark! Two stretch goals passed, nearly at 200%.
Our next stretch goal will unlock two exciting adventures for our expansion: TRASHWORLD for Westward Bound & BLACKWALL CORRECTIONAL for Lost Highway. These adventures will be deeper and more ambitious than other regions in the books!
TRASHWORLD is what it sounds like: a 100-mile stretch of debris and garbage, the remains of the Greenway Sanitary Landfill. Now, your pack of dogs will need to navigate this stinky ecosystem of warring factions and strange hopes. Think "Isle of Dogs" meets "District 9."
BLACKWALL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, for Lost Highway, was a high-security prison, until it was bisected by an alien military installation. Whether you came here looking to rescue a friend who's been imprisoned there or steal a piece of alien weaponry, the greatest challenge will be making it out alive. Keen-eyed readers will see echoes of Half-Life 2's Nova Prospekt here, though we'll be taking this in our own Harmonic direction. (TBH though, playing Half-Life 2 in VR last year has had an extremely outsized influence on the design of Lost Highway.)
Both of these adventures are deep dives -- complex scenarios that could take one or multiple sessions to fully play!
