April '23 Monthly Update
11 months ago – Thu, Apr 27, 2023 at 11:59:19 AM

Begin April Communication.

Work continues behind the scenes. Nothing to present quite yet. No major updates at this time. Prepare for standard project review.

Commence Operation: Month End Summary

DRAFT MANUSCRIPT LINK

I'm gonna start posting a link back to the draft manuscripts in these updates because it's been a while and folks are starting to misplace any downloaded copies. I'll keep this bit here in future updates until our backer PDFs go out.

REWARDS STILL PENDING

No major changes just yet. I know there are a bunch of They Came From artists who've just finished some other work for Onyx Path so finishing up artwork for our books. Hopefully layout will begin shortly. We'll continue to keep an eye on it in our monthly updates.

March '23 Monthly Update
about 1 year ago – Tue, Mar 28, 2023 at 12:15:17 PM

Hello Eye-Spies,

We are overdue for an update! These should be coming your way at the end of each month, but it seems February slipped past me. No big news to share, nothing we missed, but keeping communication constant and consistent is important, so I'll do my best to keep from slipping unheard through a month again. Apologies.

And, with that said, let's dive right in to our Check In.

 DRAFT MANUSCRIPT LINK

I'm gonna start posting a link back to the draft manuscripts in these updates because it's been a while and folks are starting to misplace any downloaded copies. I'll keep this bit here in future updates until our backer PDFs go out.

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Artwork is in process for our two main books, and our Stretch Goal PDF has joined them. Hopefully we'll be seeing some artwork sneak peeks in another few months.

Jan '23: Monthly Update, Onyx Path Forums
about 1 year ago – Tue, Jan 31, 2023 at 08:57:37 AM

Hello Eye-Spies,

We're just about finished January, so there's still time to sneak in my first monthly update for 2023. No big news for this month - I didn't expect any major leaps to happen over the year end holidays, but it looks like everything's still on track. I feel like we're in the slow crawl, but we'll continue to watch the progress chart each month as our rewards shift forward and work their way towards us.

The Onyx Path They Came From Forums Are Here!

After breaking under the strain of awesome threads, the Onyx Path team have re-vamped, repaired, and re-organized their forums.  They work again! Feel free to drop by the Onyx Path Forums  - and especially the They Came From forums, with each expansion now having it's own sub-forum!

Dec '22 Update: Podcastin' and Checking In
about 1 year ago – Fri, Dec 30, 2022 at 02:57:54 PM

Hello Eye-Spies,

We're in the final days of 2022, and I've got just enough time to squeeze in one final monthly update for the year. Before we get to our regular review, I just wanna share a few Podcast links from the Onyx Pathcast that delved into the They Came From world. So journey back in time (to October) and listen in to the Onyx Path crew as They Came from your computer speaker...

REWARDS STILL PENDING

No major changes over the past month. The good news is that all of the writing is complete for our rewards, it's just a matter of finishing art and layout and continuing on with production steps. Matthew has noted that working on They Came From the Danger Zone! was one of the creative highlights of his year, so I'm really looking forward to that! I'm anticipating a bunch of fun coming our way in 2023!

Nov '22: Monthly Update
over 1 year ago – Wed, Nov 30, 2022 at 02:18:38 AM

Hello Eye-Spies,

Finishing up November, time for our month end update. No big news this month, projects still sliding forward and on track. We've got both the Willow TV Series and Slow Horses Season 2 coming in the next few days, so the world seems to be reflecting our double feature mash up. Fun stuff to keep us inspired while we wait for our books!

And now... our monthly review!

REWARDS STILL PENDING

Artists have their directions and descriptions and are working on images for our books, along with preliminary graphic concepts for the layout. In terms of our main Stretch Goal, the Danger Zone is fast approaching and now in post-editing development. I think when the artwork is set up and all the big wordy bits done, you'll see a bunch of the other Stretch Goal rewards quickly slot into place.
