Video Update and a look at the print files
7 months ago – Tue, Oct 03, 2023 at 04:02:52 AM

Hi all,

I am still trying to get this onto a boat in the next two months. Once the factory engineer confirms the updated dial/temple clock files, they will produce a pre-press approval copy. I'll pay for fast airfare so we can approve the copy quickly (hopefully!). Today I'm working on the plastic insert that will hold the game and expansion components. I hadn't thought about this component much before, but it's kind of exciting because I can visualize how the game will actually look when you open the giant 17.5 inch box.

See the print files

Here's a very long video where I show the print files. I'm sort of mumbling and rambling throughout, but it's at least a passionate mumbling and rambling.

Note: The files shown are CMYK print files with a print-ready color profile, not internet-friendly RGB. The colors are dark and less saturated here, but they will look great when printed.

I have some ideas for future update videos. I'll try to make a new video once a week or (at worst) once every two weeks.

Diary 1 [video update] - Chaosmos / Pig Connections

Hi everyone,

I'm going to start doing little video diary entries every Monday. I'll only post a link here if it relates to Chaosmos.

Please follow the link to see the first video, and subscribe there if you like the video. I don't use social media (other than to promote games), but making regular diary videos is a nice way you can see that I'm not hiding in the woods!

Here's an old article I wrote about author William Sleator; it relates to the topic of today's video:

P.S.   The factory is still working on building the new Temple Clock; once that is done I should be able to show a complete pre-press copy. I'll be shipping sometime this year, but definitely not by August.

Hi all! Still here!

Hi all, I had a lot of personal issues pop up in the last year, but that’s still solved, I have been moving forward aggressively. The game should be in some of your hands by late summer.

I wish I had hired Sam two years ago; he is much faster and more technically minded. It is amazing how his newer computer instantly opens and exports files that had caused me great trouble. I’m embarrassed how long it took me to ask for help. Now that the files are done, he is helping me tomorrow to go over accountability and communication plans, so you will now get an update at the start of every month, and maybe two times a month.

I’m waiting on molds related to the miniatures and then I’ll be able to show off the samples very soon.

Remember to use email to communicate with me, since Kickstarter doesn’t seem to notify me anymore (!?) when I get new messages.
