Hey backers!
As we near the end of the year, we have one last update for you in 2021! Check it out below.
In the new year, we’ll have a more up-to-date timeline on the rollout of physical rewards in 2022. At this time, our new estimate to have the books on hand in the warehouse is sometime in Q1, though this is subject to change if we encounter supply chain or shipping delays.
Production Progress
Animated spell cards are being reviewed to be released through BackerKit! We don’t have an ETA just yet, but they’ll be in your inboxes before long.
The tarot card box is in production!
The tarot card binder is in transit!
The GM screen is being developed!
The book and box set are being prepared for print--at this time, our new estimate to have the books on hand in the warehouse at the end of Q1, 2022 though this is subject to change if we encounter supply chain or shipping delays.
As we mentioned above, we’ll have a more up-to-date timeline on the rollout of physical rewards in the new year! Thank you for your patience!
We had so much fun playing through the Are We The Baddies? adventure in October on stream! Celebrate the holidays with some mayhem and mischief by watching with your loved (or love-to-hate) ones!
Holiday Hours
The holidays are upon us! Please be aware that Hit Point Press is closing between Christmas and New Year. From December 27th until the 31st, both the warehouse and support operations will cease until we return January3rd. Our team will respond to all inquiries as soon as we’re able in the new year, thank you for your patience!

Chapter 1 v0.9: Rough Design Draft Release!

Chapter 1 Design preview is available on BackerKit!
Candy's Candy Emporium by Nikita Orlov
What does this mean? Is the book done now? Not just yet! This is to show how we're placing the text and art together to form the book. It can be very delicate balance of trying to make sure information is very clear when presented to the reader, while also getting the aesthetic and art placement just right! Our designers are currently walking that tightrope now.
There's still another pass or two to finalize this chapter, but it's coming along great!
What's left for Chapter 1?
frame designs
content-box designs
art edits (textures, cropping)
making sure cross-references (page links) are correct
typography (making sure elements don't cross over each other, etc.)
reviews to ensure no content got missed and that we have all the correct edits
press review, and more!
We hope you enjoy this preview! We're also hoping to have a lot more in the coming weeks to showcase! 🎪😉

– Wed, Sep 01, 2021 at 08:02:43 PM
Hey backers!
Things have been moving quite a bit behind the scenes! We have some exciting things to share with you in this update (including a very special sneak peek release), so let’s get started!
Shuffled Stories Engine
Our content team has been hard at work on the engine, which has been greatly improved and expanded from its original iteration! Because of this, it needs a bit more time than we anticipated. It’s currently in editing and the beta will be released in the near future!
Chapter 1 Release - now with art!
As a thank you for all of your support and patience, we’re releasing the updated version of Chapter 1 early! The file should be distributed to backers through BackerKit next week - keep an eye out! While this is a rough draft of the layout and not the finalized version, it does feature updated text and new art.
Speaking of the final version of the PDF, we’re still on track to release it in September as expected!
