The Lighthearted Kickstarter goes live on January 26th!

Here's what you need to know

THANK YOU!
We want to thank everyone who supported the game up to this point. You allowed us to commission beautiful art and your input and support truly made a huge difference in how the game developed over the last two years of early access. Kate and I want you to know that we couldn't have gotten this far without you! Now we are moving into the final stage of production and Lighthearted will no longer be available for early access. Instead, we will be fulfilling the final version of the game pending the successful Kickstarter.

WHY KICKSTARTER?
We are using Kickstarterto fund more art by the marvelous Minerva Fox, gorgeous layout, editing & cultural sensitivity reads by Gene Astadan and Dominique Dickey, and all the finishing touches that make a beautiful book. A successful Kickstarter allows us to do an offset print run to deliver the best quality book we can.

WHAT IF I BOUGHT THE EARLY ACCESS PDF?
Anyone who purchased Lighthearted in early access will receive the final PDF with a hopeful delivery date of late August 2021. We are partnering with a publisher who is helping with production and fulfillment, but that means we will no longer be distributing the game through itch. We'll be sending out updates on how to claim your copy later this year.

WHY BACK THE KICKSTARTER?
Why should you back the Kickstarter if you already own the pdf? Firstly without this successful Kickstarter, we won't be able to afford all the art, editing, and offset printing we have planned. A good campaign on Kickstarter means a better product for all. You will also have the opportunity to purchase the hardback book, have your own custom art in the book, or get a game run by Kurt for you and three of your friends. We also have stretch goals to bring on guest writers who are going to introduce new ways to explore the world of Lighthearted

• Get a Better Game

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

• You can share the Kickstarter with your friends on social, in slacks and discords, on Reddit, or any other game news site. 
• You can back the Kickstarter to get one of the aforementioned rewards. 
• And you can play the game with friends so they can see just how RAD it can be.
