The performance has officially come to it's end and not only did we
survive, we ended with a flourish! As the Pirouette crowdfundr came to
a close, we managed to reach 422% funding!
I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has contributed and
to everyone who has supported this weird and wonderful game.
So what happens next?
Pirouette has already been written, it's been sent to the amazing Seb Pines to
design the layout of each page. Once the layouts are complete, we'll
be sending them to be printed. I should have a full schedule for you
all soon for when the printed and digital copies will be sent out to
you and when the game will be fully published online.
Due to ever shifting issues like tariffs and shipping tax, the
shipping costs weren't included in the tier prices and I'll get in
touch with you all soon to let you know what is needed to be done from
there. I'm determined to get this game out to each and every one of
you so I'm looking into keeping the price of shipping down.
Whilst that's being done, I'm also working on a few additional things
for you. The first is a little ballet guide for use in the game, I'm
looking into getting stick figures to depict the moves and I've got
help from a French speaker for phonetic pronunciations of each move.
The next is the Pirouette X Primadonna crossover I'm writing with the
fantastic Kyle Tam.
Writing is going strong and I'll be able to send out updates on that soon!
If you want to scratch the Pirouette itch before the game is sent
out, Kat The Lore
Mistress played Pirouette on stream so please check that out here!
Also, a bit further in the year, the wonderful Maddy Searle
will be playing Pirouette on their podcast A Game of One's
Own. If you haven't checked the podcast out, please do, it's a
great time!
I want to end this email with something I'm excited about. In 7 days,
Gast, a horror
zine collection will be starting it's crowdfunding. If you like
horror, which I assume you do if you backed Pirouette, you'll
absolutely love this project! Hatched games
is frankly changing the game for horror zines!
Once again, I want to thank you all for the support you've given
Pirouette, I'm absolutely floored by the response to it and I can't
wait for you all to get your hands on it!
