Last Call For Address Changes!

Hey everyone,
The physical copies of Golf Quest have arrived and they are beautiful! Just look at 'em!
Apologies for the dull lighting, our spell of good weather seems to have finally come to an end!
What's Next?
We still need to order appropriate envelopes, the refill packs, and maybe even more copies of Apothecaria because it's been selling out quick.
This means you've got a week to change your address on Backerkit. Don't worry, I'll also make an update when we press the Lock Order With Final Notice button which should send you a big reminder email and give you 48 hours to sort it.
Sadly, after that point it won't be possible to update addresses and you'll have to pay postage again if your order gets returned because it went to the wrong address so let's avoid that as best we can!
We're so close to the finish line I can almost taste it!
UKGE Collection
If you're a UK backer who backed for just Golf Quest, then you can pick your order up next week at UKGE. Just bring proof of backing and let us take your details at the stall.
Unfortunately, due to low stock, we can't offer collection of Golf Quest + Apothecaria at the moment and won't have refill packs in time for UKGE. If you're in the latter camp, sorry, you'll have to wait for fufillment in June.
Thanks once again for all your support!

It's the 10th of May and while the first 8 days flew by with barely a chance to sit down, we really knuckled down and gave it our all these past 48 hours and I'm proud to say that Golf Quest is ready to play!
Backerkit emails should be making their way out as I write this which will give you the Spreads and Print Friendly files for the 27 different Holes and 9 Dungeons.
If you can, I would massively appreciate any feedback you have over the next few days as we prepare to go to print. Any typos, visual errors, or even game design issues you notice, please let us know!
Oh, and just for now, a couple of the print friendly sheets are technically unfinished because their colour counterparts rely on colour coded information and we hadn't decided on a way to convey that in black and white. Mainly the Strange Portals and Toadal Chaos sheets. The Portals you can sort yourself easily enough by numbering them while we recommend maybe avoiding the toad until we fix that sheet. Sorry for the inconvenience there!
Apart from that, we hope you enjoy!
Now I'm off to bed because it took a lot to hit this self imposed deadline XD
End of April Update

Hey everyone,
At the start of the month I said that I was aiming to get a version of Golf Quest completed and digitally available by the end of April. Unfortunately for me its now the 30th and I'm still not quite done.
At this point we're like 99% finished. I'm literally just doing the layout for the Special Balls which necessitated ripping some finished layout apart - story of my life with this project. After that I want to polish up the Reputation system which gives silly boons and punishments for being a well liked or hated golfer.
Once those are done, I'll put out the digital PDF and put up the black and white courses for at home printing. My estimate, and I'm realising I'm not very good at these, is that the PDF version will be done by May 10th.
We're so close though.
This is what the book looks like just now which should hopefully give a bit of an idea of what I'm doing. The holdup has come from the fact that certain layout choices worked really well for 20 Holes and then not at all for the other 7 and I had to go back and rethink it again and again!
In hindsight, I should have hired a layout artist.
Anyways, rambly post. Thank you for your patience, I can't wait to get this into people's hands!

Hey everyone,
Layout is chugging along at a reasonable pace. Sometimes we run into Course Hazards that take a bit more explanation than the layout expects and have to do a load of tweaking to get it looking half decent.
I've got about 6 Dungeon Courses left to do the info pages for then I need to return to the Game Info section and finish that off.
Once we've got the information in then it's just a matter of tweaking it to look nice but we'll be able to put out a digital version very soon. Likely early February.
We've finally started putting the Rivals into the book. We found that they need a lot of space so we're going to include some non-pictured Rivals to give even more variety!
Not much left to do now so if you still haven't filled out your Backerkit survey, please remember to do so! And if you need to change your address, let me know via email [annablackwell1994[@]gmail.com] rather than Kickstarter messenger because it really is a dreadful messaging tool and I will miss your message.
