Three Art Prints: Results

The Results are in! Thanks to all 1449 of you who voted for your top three Art Prints. Follow this link to see a Bar Chart Race graphic that shows how the voting went down throughout the month (it took me FAR TOO LONG to figure out how to show this, so please do give it a quick watch). Or just scroll to the bottom of this update to see the final numbers.

Local Pickup at Comics, Games and Coffee (CGC) in Worthing!

I'm excited to share that when the games ship, local pickup will be available from Comics, Games and Coffee (CGC) in Worthing, UK — my brilliant local independent games shop. It's wonderful to partner with them to offer this convenient (and free) option to local backers.

If you've already filled in your BackerKit Pledge Manager with your shipping address, you can now change your delivery method to Local Pickup. Since shipping hasn't been charged yet, selecting this option will save you a few bob.

When fulfilment begins in early 2026, I’ll notify everyone who chose local pickup as soon as your order is ready to collect from CGC. You’ll be able to pop in and grab your full order at your convenience.

Just a quick heads-up: CGC won’t be able to store your order indefinitely, so please aim to collect it within a reasonable timeframe once it’s ready. Thanks!

Translations Have Begun!

The final game files are now with our language partners. This part of the process should take a month or two to complete. I'm using this time wisely to figure out all the nitty-gritty details with the manufacturers, a surprisingly interesting, complicated, fun and frustrating process. More details to follow in future updates. Rest assured, we're working hard to ensure you get an amazing quality product at the end of this.

A Bit Sketchy

I know you love to see artwork and behind-the-scenes, so here's a little video of my drawing process for Fame and Fable. It starts off super loose and sketchy, then I use that as a guide to build a refined line. That line is used to guide the creation of a vector line, then I add some colour to finish it all off.

Art Print Spoiler Alert!

Drum-roll, please. Here are the final Art Print results...

Forms response chart. Question title: Pick your top 3 artworks for the mini print collection. Voting closes July 31st. One vote per backer, please!. Number of responses: 1,449 responses.

The Multipede never stood a chance!

The Dragon looked to be joining the party, but came in at an agonisingly close fourth in the end, narrowly beaten by The Man of the Forest to the third position. He joins Grimalkin, which I think will surprise nobody (who can resist an assassin cat, eh?!), and The Knight — an absolute classic. 

Everybody who has the Three Art Prints in their Pledge Manager cart will receive this wonderful trio of mini prints with their order when their games ship next year:

What is on my Gaming Table?

I've been lucky enough to be testing out the new North American Expansion for Mycelia: The Strategic Mushroom Game by Split Stone Games. For those new to Mycelia, it is an area control game that involves growing your mycelial network, fruiting mushrooms, releasing spores and decaying them again for special bonuses. You can disrupt other players' mycelial networks, steal their resources and block their movements — make no mistake, this game can be surprisingly ruthless.

The new expansion introduces a fifth player, trees and symbiosis bonuses. The trees are the biggest new addition, and once grown, they help you filter resources to new locations across the board. As expected, it's utterly gorgeous, plays amazingly, and is delightfully thematic. Plus, the new pieces are purple! You won't want to miss out on the Kickstarter coming soon. Sign up to be reminded when it goes live.
