If you're busy hitting refresh obsessively on the Last Unicorn campaign we're running, then put those mice to good use and point your mouseys at some of the other unique and original projects underway out in the Kickosphere! Here's a few we've seen that we're fans of:

Lunatica Playing Cards

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thirdwayind/lunatica-playing-cards

Busty ladies! Pope-like Kings! Aristocrats that are hopped up on too much caffeine, and nobility that are *definitely* up to something. Boasting some neat art styles, neon inks, Thirdway Industries is making a deck of cards that a little more up to date than Ye Olde Cards of yesteryear. Backers also get a really sweet Lunar Eclipse coin that's just been unlocked. 

SNES Collector's Book (STAFF PICK!)

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thesubcon3/the-complete-snes-collectors-book-definitive-editi

Over 600 pages, it's a compendium of games, facts, and SNES history, and incredibly thorough. With the release of the SNES Classic, you can learn some great facts about all the games you loved as a kid, or help introduce the new generation to the glory of the SNES. Give it a looksie, and get one for your coffee table!

And hot on the heels of the SNES compendium, there's a really cool platformer game in development!

Intrepid Izzy

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/senileteam/intrepid-izzy-pc-dreamcast-ps4/description

Who doesn't love a good action platformer game? This one's coming to Dreamcast, PC, and PS4, sporting some awesome neo-retro sprite work, and a pretty kick ass new character to burst onto the scene.

And what better way to do your gaming than in super comfy socks?

200 Needle Socks 

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/otaa/200-needle-socks-made-by-otaa/

How can there possibly be so many socks? This awesome campaign boasts the comfiest of all socks, with pages and pages and pages of socks to choose from. If there's such a thing as legs that go on forever, then this is the sock selection to match those legs. They offer a lifetime supply of socks even!

If you've seen any other awesome projects, let us know! We love backing cool projects, and there's always a million of them going on. Post in the comments if you see anything that's really grabbing your eye!

We're about $500 away from the $100k stretch goal - get ready for autographs!

We'll also be posting a card art update shortly :)!

New Card Art - The Hanged Man
over 6 years ago – Mon, Oct 09, 2017 at 08:16:08 PM

Another work in progress card - The Hanged Man. A card indicating suspension and restriction (although not necessarily direct imprisonment), the Hanged Man is a card for surrendering to the present, and reflecting upon breaking out of old patterns and bad habits.

As we reviewed and discussed the card art, it became clear that even though we wanted Celaeno uncaged, we wanted to impress and a reminder of the feeling of being bound to the current situation, so the final form incorporates a manacle hobbling her to the branch. Now is not the time for rage - the Harpy knows that freedom is inevitable, and she accepts her present fate and circumstances, biding her time until she can break free of the bonds that hold her. 

Each card is getting reviewed and tweaked to align with the interpretations as we go, so nothing pictured is quite final, but we like showing you the works in progress - no fussing ;)!

BackerKit Configured, Awaiting Approval
over 6 years ago – Sun, Oct 08, 2017 at 12:15:10 AM

Howdy folks! A lot of you are asking about add-ons, and just wanted to give you the quick update that our BackerKit has been configured and is ready to go live as soon as they approve it. You will be able to adjust your pledges, add new tiers and rewards, and update your backing status to include new goodies. We will also have:

  • Mouse pads
  • Art prints
  • Reading cloths
  • Pin x 3 to Full Pin Set upgrades

Stay tuned - as soon as BackerKit gets back to us, we can pull the trigger!

A big congratulations to Mara Erlach for being our 1,000th backer - you win cool stuff, when we ship :)! We've got 12 days left, and the signed cards by Peter S. Beagle lie close at hand - almost to the home stretch!

Card Art in Progress
over 6 years ago – Tue, Oct 03, 2017 at 11:38:02 PM

Concept Evolution

While the artwork is subject to change and nothing else is finished to the same extent that The Star and The Devil cards are, we did want to share some of the works in progress so you can get an idea how the cards evolve over time. Each card has a deep and unique significance to it, so identifying the characters that align with the theme is important, and coming up with a suitable pose or setting for them equally so. Though each character is only seen on screen for a brief period, they each have a powerful impact on the characters and the tone of the movie, and on the viewers as well.

Mommy Fortuna is an excellent example - catching the Unicorn by chance, she is brave and bold, if not a little unwise. She is not nefarious - merely self-centered - in her quest for her own kind of immortality. Ironically, her methods are highly material, physically imprisoning immortal beasts, but using material means to achieve immaterial remembrance by things that will live forever. She knows that her peers mock her, but also knows that such mockery is hollow, as she does things no one else would dare to do. She collects and ensnares, hoarding the magic of the world at a perilous cost to herself and to the other members of the Carnival. Pictured here is a concept for the 4 of Coins featuring Mommy Fortuna, with some notes on theme and content as it pertains to the card.

 While more adjustments remain to be made before a card becomes final, the characters and objects in each scene interact in a way to match the theme of the card and evoke deeper meanings.

The image below was an initial concept for The Star. While equally impressive and majestic, there were certain elements that we wanted to keep and some that we wanted to change to match the overall aesthetic and achieve a little more symmetry in the frame. The Unicorn stretches out in an arc, as though striving for something just out of reach, but her poise leaves her off balance, as only a great act or venture outside one's comfort zone can do.

 More to follow in the days and weeks to come, but we wanted to share some of the thoughts and planning that goes into the cards along the way!
