Where We Go From Here
over 3 years ago – Fri, Mar 05, 2021 at 06:25:00 PM

Next Steps

Going over a few things today to let everyone know what the plan is and what to expect.

First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds to B.A. Games and this process can take a few weeks. We'll use this money to help finalize the production plan and get the manufacturing ready.

Second, we’ll send out a BackerKit survey towards the end of March to collect your shipping information and to have you finalize the pledges and any add-ons you may want for Cult of the Deep. We’ll give you a heads-up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email will contain a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards for manufacturing.

If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.

Third, if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. You can do it through Kickstarter and the messaging system, an email, Facebook, and even Discord.

We will keep you updated on new cards, artwork, production, as well as be announcing some playtest nights if anyone is interested in joining us. They are open to anyone, even if it is just to watch or ask a few questions.

Votes Are In - Sigils

In a turn of events, the Sigil of Accumulation came in from behind and swooped the nomination for the next Sigil to enter the game.

Sigil of Accumulation- Increase 1 ritual track by 3. Gain the altar effects 3x. If no effect, gain 4 life.

If you are curious as to the other Sigils, check out our Facebook Group post for more details: Cult of the Deep.

We will be having another vote starting later today for another Sigil. Stay tuned!

Link Click Challenge

On the 1000 click challenge: 901/1000.

Over 900! Here is the link: https://bit.ly/cult-welcome. Remember, we now have less than 48 hours to do this. Go out and share it with the world!

For those new to the updates, once we reach 1000 clicks on this link, we will unlock an alternate version of a Character Card in the game. This means we will add a new Character Card to the game that will have the same art and concept as the original, but a new ability based on the character. This will provide more options for when you play the game and provide more replayability.

Update On The Faceless

After working on some initial concepts, here is an updated rough draft of the Faceless, a character card that was unlocked due to your extraordinary support! What do you think?

The Faceless

Until next time...

On the 1000 click challenge: 705/1000.

Over 700! Here is the link: https://bit.ly/cult-welcome. Remember, we now have less than a week to do this. If you know of any new places to share this, now is the time!

Poll For Sigils - Live!

We have the poll up for the newest Sigil that will enter the game. We put the poll in our Facebook Group.

Cult of the Deep | Facebook

The options are:

Sigil of Larceny - Copy the text of a Sigil that has already been played.

Sigil of Accumulation - Increase 1 ritual track by 3. Gain the altar effect 3x. If there is no altar effect, gain 4 life.

Sigil of Duplicity - Copy a completed ritual except the Kraken. You choose the Keeper of that copied ritual.

The poll will end Monday March 1, 10pm Central (UTC-6).

Playmat Update

We mentioned that we would be updating you on the playmat this week. Here is an initial mock-up of what we are thinking for the playmat. There is still more work to be done but we are excited to share this with you.

The square areas in the black stone are going to be cut out so that the 10mm ritual markers in the game will be able to fit inside of them. There will also be edge stitching to help make sure your mat looks crisp and look good for years to come.

Have a nice weekend and we'll see you Monday!
