I feel like this would be something we deliver post game launch? YWNS isn’t even ready to be shipped. I believe many things would change between now and then. Rewriting that book over and over.

I really like the idea, but would wait until the game is fully delivered.

Labor includes the above for pre-sale, and sales of YWNS. Marketing material before launch.

Also, as mentioned in the Discord, it would be β€œOK” to hold the funds for printing until after game release if that’s desired. But the budget for labor would be needed sooner, rather than after YWNS release due to scheduling/work on my end, because I’m full-time except for some brief moments in the coming month(s), with which I can have a window of dedicated time.

PS I dont use any AI imagery/generative, it’s all handmade and takes several hours to produce, but I think it provides for longevity and quality in the final product(digital & physical) for years to come.

(Nothing wrong with AI I just dont use it for the art/illustrations or design elements.)

One vision for all of this artwork is to usable for a long time in subsequent YWNS/WAGDIE efforts.

Thank you for all considerations and feedback.
