103% Update: WE ARE FULLY FUNDED + Stretch Goals update
7 months ago – Thu, Feb 29, 2024 at 03:01:15 PM

Hello there, my beautiful backers and welcome on board!

Thank you so much for your support and kind words.
I am beyond excited to tell you today, that Fishbone Archipelago: Lost Lighthouse is funded and will be presented to you this year!

To celebrate this occasion I've revised stretch goals to better reflect 40 more hours of this crowdfunding campaign we still have. Take a look:

2400 - +1 Digital Battlemap -  I will create TWO MORE 3000x3000px maps for this adventure's potential violent encounters. You will be able to print them out or use with your VTT of choice.
2500 - NPC Portraits - every character in this adventure will be presented as a digital sketch
2600 - + 2 Digital Battlemaps -  I will create TWO MORE 3000x3000px maps for this adventure's potential violent encounters. You will be able to print them out or use with your VTT of choice.
2700 - NPC Portraits - every character in this adventure will be presented as a detailed illustration

Remember, that it's, mostly, a solo project and every new pledge and every add-on you can grab helps a lot! Thank you once again for being the part of this journey!

See you soon!

95% - Almost there! New Add-On and Friends
7 months ago – Tue, Feb 27, 2024 at 08:00:18 PM

Ahoy, friends!
With 95% funded we're already close to port - I can smell it! And to celebrate this amazing progress I would love to open a very special Add-On - Castaway sketches!

If you would like to have your Castaway player character, favorite NPC or the best familiar in the world sketched for you - there's a way to upgrade your pledge to receive a unique bit of art just for you! 

One could ask me - "Mikhail, if you're doing promos, posting news and painting illustrations, there are so many art updates - when do you sleep, actually?" and my answer will be - "Yes!". It's been a very stressful month and my reptilian brain and I are happy to see numbers go up with every new piece I present to the world. Thank you for being here and thank you for your support. I am pretty sure - we'll be able to get those last £104 in the next three days. Than I'll be able to sleep!
 

If you still have time and energy to discover new projects - say hi to my friends:

88% Update: Can we get £255 more?
7 months ago – Mon, Feb 26, 2024 at 11:42:11 AM

Hello there! 
We're almost at the finish line, friends! 88% is fantastic and I can almost breath in the salty breeze of Archipelago's stormy seas now!


 

Friends, if you're were still on the mailing list waiting to see if this Zine will become a real thing - now it's your time to help! And as always - big thanks to every new backer for their support! 

Next sketch I'm working on at the moment is the lighthouses' mystical brazier. We will see the updated version in the next Art Update.

 With full sails,

Mikhail

45% Update - Maps and VTT assets
7 months ago – Sun, Feb 25, 2024 at 01:35:41 PM

Hello there, Castaways!

Only five days left to set sails together and I would love to get as much of your support as possible.
Today I 'm extremely glad to present you another art update for the Lost Lighthouse - our first Battlemap of the Lagoon encounter against Pashtran Scavenger Crabs

If you are using a VTT (Virtual Table Top) of any kind - they will for sure help you with descriptions and tactical fights. And here's a bonus orthographic crab token to test them out in the wilds:
 

Don't let them shake your hands and see you tomorrow with another Lost Lighthouse update!
