600 Backers...!!!
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Jun 17, 2020 at 08:54:07 PM

I'm sure you're all bored with me thanking you all the time, but we just surpassed 600 backers with just 4 hours remaining on the clock. 

This is an amazing achievement, so I will say - yet again - a huge THANK YOU to everyone. 

It's been fantastic receiving all the messages of support, and questions about this and future campaigns, so keep them coming.

£15k Stretch Anyone?
almost 4 years ago – Wed, Jun 17, 2020 at 07:51:19 PM

I'll keep this brief - we genuinely didn't think we'd hit £15k so didn't consider a stretch goal for that milestone. Seeing how things are going however, it's a very real possibility, so Lyndon has gotten busy with some ideas, and based on a design for the Hardback spine, we're thinking...

PATCHES...!

If we hit £15,000, we'll make and include a patch with the Elder God sign with all Deluxe Tiers and higher. 

There's a few hours left, so it could happen...!

Thanks all,

Andy

24 HOURS TO GO...!
almost 4 years ago – Tue, Jun 16, 2020 at 07:31:57 PM

We're nearly at the end of the campaign and have smashed through 500 backers. 

Lyndon and I are in full 'getting ready for production' mode, while simultaneously working on Chapter Two.

Once again, a huge thank you to all our backers. The world has been going through some tough times and we really appreciate all your support.

Only one day left until the campaign closes, so please continue to share, like and ask questions.

The plan is still to get Backer Kit surveys out this weekend so we can get production and fulfilment underway as quick as possible.

Andy.

Stretch Goal #6 and more updates
almost 4 years ago – Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 12:34:21 PM

THANK YOU!

A few hours ago we hit our latest stretch goal, which means the hardback and softcover editions of Reanimator Incorporated Chapter One will have an additional 8 pages of bonus content!

We're only a few days away from the close of the campaign, but have an idea for a 7th Stretch Goal. It'll be a push, but you never know...

Backer Kit and Surveys

Given the volume of backers, I've been advised and recommended to use Backer Kit to handle the surveys. Hands up, I've never used it before, so I need to get to grips with the service over the next week. I'll be aiming for surveys to go out next Sunday at the latest. Any advice or things you'd like to see on the Backer Kit service all gratefully received :-)

A unique recommendation

There's a lot of great comics and graphic novels to pledge for at the moment, but also consider a novel from an up and coming author. I've backed Chrissey Harrison's campaign and Lyndon has also contributed to the artwork (no, I don't know how he does it all either). Here's some more information and a link to the campaign.

Thanks again everyone and stay safe!

Andy

Journalist Elliot Cross didn’t believe in monsters. Not until his brother died at the hands of something unnatural.

Four years later, a string of impossible deaths leave the police baffled. Could this be Elliot’s chance to make a difference? Enlisting the help of his (only) employee, Samantha, he quickly identifies the culprit – a demonic mime artist whose invisible creations are fatally real.

Way out of their depth, the search for a way to defeat the demon will take Elliot and Sam across the country, uncovering lost history, buried secrets, and a few new truths about themselves.

MIME is the debut novel from Chrissey Harrison. Combining supernatural and mystery elements with action and a side of romance, the book will appeal to fans of The Dresden Files, Hellblazer and other urban fantasy titles.

The book releases July 28th 2020, and the Kickstarter offers readers the chance to pre-order directly from Chrissey. All backers will also get the Kickstarter Exclusive short story eBook The Leigh Woods Wisp, and there's lots of exciting extras to choose from including gift sets, artwork by Reanimator artist Lyndon White, and bespoke hand bound journals for your own adventures.

Bonus Stretch Goal unlocked - 500 Backers!
almost 4 years ago – Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 09:59:09 AM

Hi everyone, 

We're ticking toward the end of what's been an unbelievable campaign. Yesterday we hit 500 backers which means we're unlocking a bonus stretch goal - additional digital content for all backers. Here's what you'll get:

• Wallpaper cover art
• MP3 of the video soundtrack
• PDF of the script

We're also really close to stretch goal #6 - this will unlock an additional 8 pages in the softcover and hardback editions of Reanimator Incorporated, featuring concept art, snippets and commentary on the creation process and a few other treats.

Chapter Two anyone?

Without getting too ahead of ourselves, work is underway for Chapter Two. The success of Chapter One has been so immense, we want to keep momentum going. As Lyndon said, "You're in for one 'HELL' of a ride."

Another Recommendation

My friend Brant Fowler, who's always been a great support and source of encouragement is (at time of writing) one backer away from the magic 100. His story, The Last Ember is well worth checking out. I've really enjoyed collaborating with and meeting new creators during this campaign. It's such a great community and long may it continue...  Here's some more info on Brant's comic:

Ember Madison is the last of the fire goddesses incarnate, but she has no idea! One day, that fire deep inside came swirling to the surface and her world was changed forever. Now, one in the shadows watches her every move, while another hunts and preys on those like Ember slowly making his way to her. She is... The Last Ember!

The Last Ember #1: Reforged is a 60-Page, Remastered edition of The Last Ember #0-1, chock full of new bonus content, including galleries, prose and more!
