Hey there folks!<\/p>\n
So, as some of you know, we didn’t quite hit the goals we were trying to for November.\u00a0 The Kickstarter for Quantum Quest fell pretty short, and I sure as heck didn’t lose the pounds I was trying to, heh!<\/p>\n
The awesome news is that I’ve got another NaNoWriMo in the bag.\u00a0 The Quantum Quest novelization is 50,000 words strong, and it’ll probably end up growing another 20-25 thousand words before its done.<\/p>\n
Here’s some more good news: that novelization is going to have the game to bolster.\u00a0 We’re going to be running a new campaign for Quantum Quest in March of 2018.\u00a0 We’ve rejiggered things so that we’ll be printing domestically instead of overseas.\u00a0 Now, this does have its drawbacks.\u00a0 For one, it’s going to be a somewhat more costly endeavor on a per-unit basis.\u00a0 We’ll have to sell for $30 instead of $25, but we’re working on ways to build value into that package. This also makes international shipping a huge burden.\u00a0 It’ll likely have to be a case by case basis where we determine how much we have to ask for people who want the game who are outside of the US.\u00a0 We’re also still trying to figure what to do if we manage to somehow climb up to that $15,000 mark that we were looking at before.\u00a0 Do we switch over and do overseas again at that point?\u00a0 Not quite sure.\u00a0 The original version of the game might have to remain domestic and then we can do huge print runs down the road.<\/p>\n
The other good news about a domestic printing is that it’s usually handled much quicker.\u00a0 With that in mind, we’re hoping we’ll be able to do another showing at Comic Con next year, where we can actually sell the game!<\/p>\n
Alright, enough about Quantum Quest.\u00a0 First and foremost, Tellest is a literary universe, so it’s time to talk books.\u00a0 We’re so close to releasing the next book that I can almost taste it.\u00a0 Silver Serpent<\/em> just needs me to finish tweaking some things post-first-edit, and then off to the second editor it goes.\u00a0 It’s a longer book, so it’s taking a while to polish, but I’m eager to get it in front of folks.\u00a0 The other good news is that each of the three books that follow it are\u00a0at least<\/em> 66% done their first drafts each.\u00a0\u00a0Arise<\/em>, the sequel to\u00a0Awake<\/em>, is getting so good.\u00a0 And with Heart of the Forest and the QQ novelization having been tackled over the course of the last three NaNoWriMos, they’re very near to done as well.<\/p>\n After that comes\u00a0Stealing Seramore\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Maelstrom<\/em>, as well as another short story compilation in the vein of Tales of Tellest.\u00a0 That set is going to be nothing but short stories, as opposed to the earlier set that included the five novellas I wrote.\u00a0 Trust me though, that book is going to be bursting with awesome.<\/p>\n So that’s it for now.\u00a0 I’m hoping to have a great book ready for you soon, but until then, I hope everyone has a great holiday season.<\/p>\n P.S.: Another DeAngelo Christmas tale will be up on the 23rd (or so)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey there folks!
