Development update – FAITH: A Garden in Hell


Now that we are well rested from the final rush of the FAITH: A Garden in Hell Kickstarter campaign, we are back at work so that we can deliver what we have promised in a timely manner. Here’s the ongoing work in each of the main departments:

Late pledges

After the Kickstarter campaign ended last week we have opened a pre-order store to allow for late pledges. We encourage those who could’t make it then to check out our tabletop RPG starter set!

Art

The art schedule is in very good shape, and with the great team of artists we have, this is something we do not have to worry about. Most of the illustrations have already been completed already underway during the Kickstarter – one of the perks of reaching the funding goal early! Only two final bosses, three NPCs and a couple items are left, as well as the map (more on that below).

The most interesting thing going on in the art department is actually working hand in hand with the Evil Planter backers, those who will be creating NPCs for the game. They have already shared their ideas with us, and we should be moving forward to the actual illustrations very soon!

And here’s a little treat…

 

Streamlined rules

We are about to start the final editing passes of the streamlined rules, and then we’ll prepare the layout and translate them to spanish. You have 24 hours more to check out the current version and offer feedback, but that’ll be it. This is the final chance to contribute!

Campaign

We are working hard with writer Obal Álvarez to edit, perfect and finish the campaign. It’s probably bad manner for us to say this, but you are in for a treat: the campaign is exciting, action-packed, and it touches upon many secrets of the ravager species. As you know, it has different endings, and different paths you can follow to reach them, so tread lightly. What you do matters!

Queen Nor is waiting for you.

Map

The Ujara map that was unlocked during the Kickstarter is one of the things we are most looking forward to. It will be a supercool way to immerse in the story and hopefully it will become a staple in the FAITH adventures to come. We are very happy with the artist we’ve selected to create it and soon we’ll be able to show more.

Such graphics, much adventure. Don't worry, this is just the draft we've sent to the artist, not the actual map!

Timeline

As of today, we are on schedule to start delivering the game in October. Please, bear in mind that this means we’ll start fulfilling at such date, but depending on where you are in the world it could take the games more time to reach your doorstep!

In the micro scale, we will deliver the printing files in July to the manufacturer, and that means tons of work this month. The good news is that we have been there, and have done this before, so we know what to expect!

If there’s any change to this schedule you’ll be the first to know, so watch this space (likely for more cool art and good news!).

Thank you all again for empowering us to take you on this wonderful adventure with us. We’ll certainly deliver some cool games in return, and fear not, for we have plans to make this game truly great. Just wait and #haveFAITH!
