Shadows Over Sol: Week Five

Posted by Thorin Tabor on Nov. 5, 2015, 7:24 a.m.

Work on Shadows Over Sol continues. The focus this last week has been on completing backer characters and art commissions, while at the same time making slow but steady progress on layout. Additionally, we've managed to move Beyond Human from editing and into art direction, and Ready-Made Heroes from outline and into editing.

Reading this and missed the Kickstarter?

You can still preorder the game! Just head on over to our Shadows Over Sol page and follow the PayPal link.

The Week’s Progress

The accomplishments from this past week include:

• The edits for Beyond Human were reviewed.
• We're now halfway through our final round of art commissions (round 4).
• Cross-references (with links!) have been added to the layout.
• All backer characters have been given concepts, stats and have had the first draft of their background written. This does not include the one character backer from whom we have heard nothing.
• Somewhere between a third and a half of the spacing art has been added to the layout.
• We received the first draft of the Small Mercy adventure, did redlines and sent it back to the author for changes. We are currently waiting to review these changes.

In the upcoming week, we plan to review the changes to Small Mercy. We'll likely also do the same with Eviction Notice. Finally, once we get the last of the art commissioned, we should be able to move the core rulebook from art direction and officially into layout.
