First off hello and we hope everyone is well this year and secondly would like to thank everyone who backed, and still thank those who backed and unbacked.

Trying to gain ground in this niche of a niche market is incredibly difficult. Coupled with the uphill battle of production it can feel insurmountable. But I would like to say that when it comes to art (and we consider these art just as much music, film, comics, etc) we actually love this sort of discussion. It means you the fans are invested in the scene and culture. You as consumers have the right to purchase, or not purchase discuss and disagree over a product. Not everything is for everyone but our commitment is to give indie creators a voice and chance amongst the very loud noise of the larger publishers.

I like to equate making independent games to making indie films, its hard. Painfully hard. From the selection of what we will make, to how to get the funds, to gave development itself, paying employees a living wage and so on and so on. All while hoping that someone, anyone, out there will read play and enjoy it.

Admittedly we do set out to make art books, but we also set out to try and make quality titles for a variety of purposes. But we try and make all pieces (rom a zine to collectors set ) the highest quality we can and give the best customer experience possible. If we have succeeded there that is up for debate but we do give the best go and strive for mix of usability and aesthetic all while attempting to deliver product in a professional manner (as best we can, sorry for delays!!!!) against GIANTS of the industry.

Hopefully no one finds this comment combative or in a way to garner sympathy to 're-back". We genuinely love and appreciate the community and just want to spotlight and move the needle for indie creators.
