#Update #Core Rulebook #Beneath Twisted Earth
Greetings, Dan here!
I am the writer and designer of Beneath Twisted Earth.
I have not been keeping a devlog for this project as yet, and that is mostly because it's been a personal endeavor. Now that it's been publicly announced, and I have some followers, itch.io recommended that I start producing some. That sounds like a fair idea. Certainly if you have interest in the project I'd like to keep you informed as to the progress of The Core Rulebook, and the planned supplements. I will be posting some logs to give you some more insight into the history and inspirations behind the project separately. For now, a quick update on the remaining production.
After approximately six months, Beneath Twisted Earth's Core Rulebook has reached the final countdown to release. The only remaining tasks are a revision of the Character Sheet, Layout of the Core Rulebook, and finalizing the Playtest Version. I am presently working on the Character Sheet and will move on to the playtest copy next. Though I am saving the Core Rulebook for last that is because JGD is producing some more art that I think everyone will enjoy. This is also allotting me time to reacclimate to InDesign. The preview book was produced in Scribus, but after finding it's table capabilities atrocious, I decided to switch to InDesign for the Core Rulebook.
We are currently aiming for a full release by the last week of July. Should progress be slowed for any reason, I will ensure that at least the Playtest Version is made available for download with the Full Version to be expected shortly after. Regardless of which route we end up, I will be sure to post an update once I have a release date cemented.
Thank you all for your interest in the project, and I look forward to seeing you on launch day!
