Latest Updates from Our Project:

New Update with (mostly) art!
29 days ago – Sat, Jun 27, 2026 at 10:26:01 AM

Hello everyone! 

We hope you're doing amazing! We have a lot of new artwork coming in and we're "very" close of commissioning the official character sheets (the last test is today)! 

There's still a bit of backend stuff to be done for the soundtrack, but it's coming! The tutorial scenario will also be starting THIS WEEK, so we'll soon be able to share parts of it with backers who have access to the DEV file. The actual cover is also into works!

Art

James has been hard at work designing new monsters for the book (and potential minis, who knows)! These new illustrations include development for the Witherman enemy, an update for the fallen Magical Girl, and the basic minion-style enemy.





First tests for minion variation fitting with various emotions.



He also updated the fallen Magical Girl (Hopeless) design by switching around the scissors to make them functional and giving her a more interesting pose!



Thank you again so much for your support and your interest! We think it's setting out to be a really cool game and we're really happy to share it with you. If you were on the fence due to the price of the Hardcover book, don't forget that there's now a softcover version of the book in the pre-order store! (and the quantities are not limited)!  

One week post-campaign! o(^▽^)o
about 2 months ago – Sun, Jun 07, 2026 at 02:25:37 PM



Hello everyone/Bonjour tout le monde!

We're now one week post-campaign! We took the time to rest a bit and finish our current fulfillment project (270+ books is a lot of books)! We're still pretty stunned with how the campaign went, and we're extremely happy to have you all on board!

If you missed it and want to add Last Hope to your collection, the Late Pledges are open!

For those with digital-only tiers that would receive the maps as freebies, we have an estimate for the shipping! Usually, it's between 2$ (Canada), 4$ (US) and 6$ (international) depending on the destination. We're still, however, discussing if we can offer free shipping on digital only pledges for the map (this will depend on the number of people who receive it as a freebie). 


Some Stuff

Most of you should have received your surveys for the Pledge Manager. So, why are we sending it so early even if the game is not completed? Well, since we have to print the game in both French and English, we need an average (but as accurate as possible) count for both languages to plan our budget allocation for both books!

As a very small publisher, we need the funds to make the game and Hardcovers are very expensive to make, especially with the improved printing quality! Worry not! Everyone, including retailers, that backed the campaign has a book (there's quite many spares). The quantities will be limited though, so if you wish to acquire a hardcover book, they will be available until they're depleted (if there's leftovers post-release, we will be adding them to our store)!

We've also added a softcover version of Last Hope to the pre-order store for those who would like to acquire a physical version. It wasn't planned in the base campaign, but people asked if it was a possibility, and we were able to provide! If you were on the fence due to the price of the Hardcover book, there's now an option for you (and the quantities are not limited)!

The number of available Heart Stickers has been increased, since they were way more popular than anticipated (ノ^_^)ノ゚  

On another note, we can still unlock our final Stretch Goals! We currently put a 2 months timer, we'll see how it goes. These items will NOT be charged to you unless we unlock them and we're able to launch production.

  • VTT System - This will be the hardest to unlock, but making a real, working VTT system+Module is expensive! We would need at least 370 people "picking it up" to be able to produce it!
  • Character Miniatures (Printed options for 3-5 minis and commercial tier will be added if there's enough interest, you will be able to modify your pledge before we charge the cards). We would need at least 170 people "picking it up" to be able to produce it! 
  • Monster Miniatures (Printed options for 3-5  minis and commercial tier will be added if there's enough interest, you will be able to modify your pledge before we charge the cards).  We would need at least 170 people "picking it up" to be able to produce it!  


The current safe date for release is DECEMBER 2027. This date is up for modifications depending on how fast artists work. There is a lot of illustrations to be done, and crunch really isn't weaved into our work philosophy. 

Thank you all for your trust, your patience, and your support. We're incredibly grateful to all of you, and we hope that you have an amazing week!

Hum, that's about it for this update! We will soon have news about the Soundtrack, stay tuned ( ̄▽ ̄)/♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ 
We're also building the document for Lex to write the starting scenario, exciting stuff are coming!  

Backerkit survey and pre-order store!
about 2 months ago – Fri, May 29, 2026 at 08:34:05 PM

Hello everyone!

A small message before we leave for the weekend and rest a bit!

The PRE-ORDER store is finally open! If you have missed the campaign, you can still pick up the game (and other bonus things)!

For those who have already pledged, we'll be sending the surveys in about two weeks, so you'll be able to add anything you want/wanted to your order at that moment. No need to pledge again on items that you want! 

Due to the quite popular demand (93%), we've added the Foundry Module, Monster Miniatures, and Character Miniatures as unlockable, which means that if enough people want them, we can have them produced. If we reach the time to charge the cards and we didn't unlock them, we'll just delete the item and nobody will be charged for them!

Any shipping fees will be charged when we are ready to ship to ensure maximum accuracy for you and for us! 

Have a great weekend, and thank you again for the amazing campaign!

And that's how it's done (done, done)!

Phew! After 21 days of campaign (and 2 hours of Overtime!!!), it finally ended!

It was a crazy month and the support was overwhelming. Thank you so much for sharing the campaign, Pledging, engaging with the polls, and liking the updates. We couldn't have done this without you (and for a project with 0 paid advertisements, we did pretty good)!

In the end, we got 489 Backers, 38,047$, and 282% funded! Crazy crazy stuff!

We're currently setting up the pre-order store and the end of campaign survey, it should come pretty soon! Shipping will still be charged at a later date to ensure the best possible prices when the game is ready to ship.

We've also added a Poll to know if you would want still locked Stretch Goals to be added post-campaign. If enough people want them, we can produce them (else we just don't charge them, easy as that)!

We will now be eating our celebratory Poutine, and we'll see you very very soon with more updates!

The Overtime is still going! (★^O^★)
about 2 months ago – Thu, May 28, 2026 at 02:30:41 PM

There's still time to join the super backer train that keeps us going, but it'll soon be the end!

We can't even wrap our heads around the fact that it still continues, and has been for more than an hour!

Let's keep them Pledges coming! We'll also be preparing for the surveys and pre-order store soon. It should be up in the next couple of days (after we rested for a bit).
