Stretch Goal #1 AND #2 unlocked!

We've actually unlocked TWO Stretch Goal content stories since my last update! What are they?

110%: Beyond the Bounds of Magic

Going beneath the wizard academy was something I envisioned very early in the world planning stages, and it was difficult to cut down to 'stretch goal' status outside the core funding, but was ultimately too self-contained even if it served the overall story well. I'm very excited to have it back in play, and to give the wizard culture a closer look!

This gives me a couple more weeks of funding to work on the project, which lets me add another dungeon, spell, and boss to the game, and wrap it all in a little story and quest format.

120%: The Wizard and the Giant

This was my favourite stretch goal and I'm SO excited to get to work on it for the full game now! This is a very Little Lord-centric storyline and will give them a full character arc over the course of the game from rival to still-rival to seriously-come-on-already to tentative ally.

I'll have a few more weeks to build out a new dungeon, questline, miniboss, and megaboss! While the Giant is planned on being a very late-game boss, the questline will begin much earlier, and I'm really excited to approach it this way rather than as a post-game DLC so that it can properly be integrated into the play experience.

Next in line: Secret Community Goal #1! (125%)

What IS this secret community goal exactly? Fund around and find out! I'll reveal it only as that milestone is broken (which this rate, should just be a couple days out), but it'll involve a community contest to create content for the game. Art skills not required!

After that, we'll be looking at The Divine Comedy stretch goal, which I know is a favourite of the community-- but let's talk about that after 125% ;)

Friend of the Campaign Spotlight: LONE FUNGUS!

The Lone Fungus Kickstarter campaign launched last week. Take a look at the launch video!

The developer, Basti, is a friend I met through the indie dev community, and I've been really excited to see this 'mushroidvania' come together, as a blend of Hollow Knight and Celeste in gameplay and atmosphere. There's also a massive amount of mechanics and content in this game. Development is already quite far along, and there's a playable demo available as well. I'll be streaming it on our Discord server later this week!

Tues March 30th: Secret Content Release

I still can't say much more, but if you've been looking for a more complex challenge than the introductory Little Lord fight, you're in for a treat! I'll keep dropping teasers on Twitter until then.
