AWAITING APPROVAL
At this point we have finished all writing on Secret World: North America. We have submitted it Funcom and we are waiting for feedback and approvals. It's not a big update, but we wanted you to know things are moving along.
RIFTS®: PHASE WORLD®
We have an amazing new campaign for PHASE WORLD® going on now. If you love Space Opera, magic, science fantasy, and everything in between, youll love PHASE WORLD®. Please check it out and spread the word
BACKER ART!
Below is some of the art backers had done as part of their pledge. Fantastic art done by one of our artists, Ani Ghosh. It's amazing to see these characters come to life.
Did you back at this tier? Have you sent in your art request? If we havent sent you art by now, maybe your email was lost. Please follow up by emailing us at [email protected] Make the subject TSW_NA_Backer Art. Include your backer name and backer email. We want to make sure its ready when the time comes. If we don't have the info by the time the book is done, you will still get your art but it may not make it into the book.
PROGRESS UPDATE: WRITING

WHERE THINGS STAND
Hello everyone! Writing for the book will be done this week. The 3 parts of the Plot Point Campaign are already done! The 12 One Shots are also completed. Once the writing is completed we will send it all to Funcom for a review to ensure any new lore is approved. If there are any changes we need to make that will happen before we can share anything with you.
After that we send it off for editing and then layout. If everything continues on pace we will deliver the final sometime late in the second quarter of this year. We will provide another update on Progress at the end of April, just so you know where things stand as we move along.
The PDF for backers will be sent out, as usual, for feedback once we have the edits and layout done.

PROGRESS UPDATE

WHERE THINGS STAND
Currently the book is about 90% written. Art is about 50% Complete. The writing has had a few delays due to illness and other events for the writers. What this means is we are running a little farther behind than anticipated. The likely final delivery of the print option is second quarter of this year.
WHATS COMES NEXT
We are pushing to get the draft done so you'll be able to provide feedback. However, that won't happen until writing is cmpleted, the first edit is done, and Funcom signs off. From there things will move pretty smoothly.
In the end, we want to deliver a great book, and ensure what we send you adds to the fun and excitement of playing the Secret World. We will continue to work hard to get this to you as soon as we can. Down below we have a little sample of some of the new monster art to let you see whats in store.
Thanks for being backers, were appreciate all of you.
