Summary of 2017 - Happy New Year

Let me start this off by wishing you all a happy new year!
I hope you were able to enjoy a nice christmas season.

Looking back at the year, I guess this was one of the better years for us.

First of all we need to thank each and everyone of you for your support, especially our supporters on Patreon! We're very grateful for your help and dedication in creating everything Deathblight related.

Let's talk about the bad things that happened this year, and then get to the good ones.
Our game designer (Blade) suddenly became homeless this summer.
But we helped him to find an appartment and after a stressful Alpha 3 release things went back to normal mostly.
Other than that, I think there wasn't really anything specifically bad this year.
(only minor hiccups along the way, like everyone experiences in life, so nothing special)

So on to the good things!
Our fanbase grew quite a bit this year, thank you everyone!
Other than that, the webcomic progressed smoothly and we managed to release new major releases of Deathblight RPG in march and end of august, as well as several minor releases in between.
We didn't quite make it for the december release (current Alpha 4) but we're almost there and pushing hard to release it the next couple days.
(we worked 6 day weeks during the past weeks and christmas and didn't really enjoyed much time off, that's some dedication haha, at any rate, no worries, we'll make sure to take at least 1 week off after the Alpha 4 release to regain some energy!)

With our Patreon campaign growing, I'm thinking about possibly hireing a pixel artist to finally continue Deathblight Apocalypse.
I know it's the 5000 $ milestone on our list, and we've still got ways to go to reach that (currently we're at 3000 $).
But as always I'm planning ahead and I guess it wouldn't hurt to look for people to hire ahead of time.
That being said, let's see how the next year will be!

See ya next year and let's hope it will be even better.

The game ended up getting me hooked on the comic and now i cant wait for more! i'm going to wait for the alpha 4 and when u update the public version ima play that. if i like it(prob will) then Im supporting u guys and getting the full game! to me your better than the games being put out nowadays.
