Hello everyone! Firstly, thank you so much for the onslaught of excitement, positivity, and feedback on the game. For Kickstarter backers especially this has been a long journey, and while it’s not over I’m glad to at least have something tangible to show for it. And while I didn’t do it with the intention of making you guys have to talk to me, it has been an extreme delight hearing from so many of you this past week.
Secondly, my current focus right now (besides wrapping the tabletop version) is taking in all the feedback on the game and deciding next steps for the digital version. While the game is sold “as is” on Steam, hence the price tag versus a F2P approach, I think not having a traditional tutorial has created a barrier to entry far higher than I ever expected. So that, along with some other tweaks and of course squashing any bugs is at the forefront of my mind.
Further details on all that will be forthcoming.
Now to the matter at hand! To celebrate this milestone I’ll be holding a cast and crew livestream this Saturday, March 4th (tomorrow!). It will run from 12-6pm PST and various people who appear in or helped make the game will be stopping, including Grant Imahara, Amie Lynn, Melonie Mac, and more.
I hope you all can find some time between playing Horizon and Zelda to pop in and say hello!

Also, Z. can now be purchased for Steam via the Humble Store, if you’re so inclined. A portion of the proceeds go to charity when buying the game via this method.

Lastly, as always, if you’re experiencing any issues or have questions about the game (like how to not get slaughtered), please leave a comment or start a new thread. You’ll also get answers from the extended community in addition to me.
See you tomorrow!
