Charging Cards and Locking Addresses
3 months ago – Sun, Jun 09, 2024 at 12:03:42 PM

Dear backer,

We will begin the process of charging cards tomorrow morning. You will be sent an email confirming your payment. In the past, this transaction has appeared on statements from BackerKit as a row of numbers, so if your bank rejects it, you may need to contact them directly to confirm the payment. 

There are still 75 incomplete surveys. If you don't receive an email tomorrow, please head to your BackerKit account and check whether your survey still needs to be completed. 

We hope you enjoyed the quickstart, and we're nearly there with the finished game. Alongside the core RPG, our guest writing team is hard at work on RIPPLES: A CRYPTID CREEKS ANTHOLOGY. We are also preparing for the podcast and Alchemy tools.

Best wishes,
Team Hatchlings

Quickstart Live!
4 months ago – Sun, May 12, 2024 at 03:31:35 AM

Dear backers,
The quickstart is now available to download through our itch.io page. It comes with form-fillable playbooks, a quick reference sheet and curse handouts. There is also a B&W copy of the Clawfoot map, an overlay for the streamers amongst you, and a couple of music tracks.
We're hard at work on completing the full game, which will come in at around 200 pages and be available from mid-June. We're also beginning work on the anthology and Alchemy content due for release in the summer.
We hope you can see the passion that's gone into this RPG.
Best wishes for now,
Team Hatchlings

Road to Publication
4 months ago – Fri, May 03, 2024 at 01:39:33 PM

Dear backers,

Today, the final illustration for the game appeared in my inbox, which means we have everything we need to complete the full game. While final edits are underway, we will send out a quickstart version of Creeks for you all to enjoy while we wrap up the remaining Curses and the additional chapter for the special editions. We've really enjoyed creating this RPG and I feel that passion will be reflected in the end book.
As soon as the quickstart is sent out, we'll begin working with our 10 anthology writers to complete The Curse of 1962 for publication this summer, giving you a combined Curse count of 16 alongside the core game!
Look for the quickstart mid-May and for the full release a month later. 

There are still around 80 backers yet to complete their Backerkit surveys, but we will have to charge cards soon to prepare for shipping and fulfilment. If you're unsure whether you've received a survey notice, please search your emails thoroughly, including your spam and junk folders.  

Much thanks,
Team Hatchlings

Book design
5 months ago – Sun, Mar 31, 2024 at 06:51:47 AM

Dear backers,
As we approach final edits, we’re also thinking ahead to the design of the book. Recently, Lucille Nual finished our collection of scouting badges that correspond to the seven basic moves you’ll perform in the game.
We just wanted to showcase them before we head to layout.
Best wishes,
Team Hatchlings

Backerkit Surveys
6 months ago – Tue, Mar 26, 2024 at 04:19:05 AM

Dear Backer,
We've just sent out a reminder for you to fill out your Backerkit surveys. We can't distribute your physical orders without an address. We're still waiting on 111 surveys to be complete, but thankfully 92% are done! Please check your emails, junk/spam folders for this reminder and let us know if you use an Apple email address as they are unlikely to reach you.
Many thanks,
Team Hatchlings
