This Door is Locked!
about 3 years ago – Mon, Mar 01, 2021 at 05:57:23 AM

With an incredible 714 backers raising $13,795 this campaign is a wrap! Thank you all so much for supporting this project, I could not expect anything close to this level of support for my first game!

What's Next?

Backers should check back later this week for an invitation to my Discord server. This will become a dedicated space for The Door Locks Behind You after it is released, but Kickstarter backers will be given immediate access once it is established. We will push updates to backers there as well as here on Kickstarter as more information comes in.

Timeline

Right now this is our tentative timeline. Again, as stated, this is the first game I've designed, and the first zine that we are producing together, so we've given ourselves ample time to complete it.

March-April: Finalize game mechanics, Editing, Art

May-July: Finish art, Layout

August-September: Print proofs, Make any needed changes

October: Print and assemble the zine, Finalize Surveys and Pledge Management

November: Digital Release, Begin Shipping

December: Hopefully all mail has been delivered by December, if not this month will be dedicated to finishing up shipping.

Again, thank you so much for backing this project. I am beyond excited to keep working on this and make it the best that it can possibly be.

Second stretch goal met!

Thanks to everyone who's backed we've met our second stretch goal for background music! We've now funded 8 tracks by Jesse Myers. I've already begun talks with Jesse about what the music is gonna look like and I think anyone who is a fan of Zelda should be excited!

I've been personally using Zelda music as background tracks for my home games since I began running TTRPGs, so I'm excited to finally have some music that is purpose built for this!

Music Tier Reached!

In less than 2 days, we've already reached our first stretch goal, 4 pieces of custom looping music will be composed for the game by Jesse Myers! We're so excited to be bringing Jesse onboard, and hoping that we reach the second music tier, where Jesse will compose 4 additional pieces of music. All of the music will be available to everyone who backs the project. 

Thank you everyone who has backed and shared the project so far. Your excited reactions and support mean so much to us!
