Hi Infinity Backers!
We're gearing up for Essen Spiel next week as well as counting down the hours until our Mutant Chronicles: Siege of the Citadel Second Edition board game gets funded. You have until 8pm B.S.T on Saturday to get in on the action!
If you'd like to collect any of your dice, Infinity and Heat tokens, or miniatures from our stand in Hall 2, booth A127 then please e-mail [email protected] with your BackerKit information and what you would like to collect then we can arrange that for you. The deadline is Monday 10th October, as we'll need to order your collection from our warehouse. You will need to bring some identification with you, or if someone is collecting on your behalf we need their details and they need to bring some identification.
We hope to see you there! If you are at Essen, make sure to pop by the stand anyway, (that's Hall 2, Booth A127), and get an invite to our Community Party on Saturday 15th October at the Motel One, Essen.
Enjoy!
Sam, Modiphius
Hi everyone, so the 30th is here and I want to give you an update on our progress along with some of the new art which has been pouring in for the books.
We have numerous illustrators working on the books - there's currently 34 images in work and due for delivery soon, and then just 21 images to complete after that. The last images will be dropped in to the final book before we go to print so we don't hold up the proof reading process.
Each image takes around 4 hours to provide the detailed descriptions, weapon and gear references from other images or Infinity design sheets along with environment references from other art to inspire the artist. It's quite an intense and involved process to ensure the level of detail matches the amazing universe we're playing in.
In the last week we've moved a lot more chapters through editing in to layout - with 8 now in the layout process. Editing has not been the bottleneck, that has actually proceeded very well since each chapter is reviewed by the line manager before passing it to the editor. There have been some issues in layout - such as the 0-12 chapter needing reworking for readability (our decision) and the Adversaries chapter character stats being doubled checked by one of the main rules team. In general layout is moving very quickly and it looks like next week the first of the final wave of chapters will start to come your way (as soon as CB approves them).
Here's the updated status report (again bold shows changed status).
3.2.1 Ariadna - Revising should be ready for final approval submission

The good news is that Wave 2 work is well underway. With writer's now having their core book chapters approved by Gutier we're able to give the writers confidence to get on with the outlines of content required for each faction book. Our rules team are hard at work on all the new rules for the Gamesmaster Guide and this is now benefitting from developments with the Star Trek roleplaying game development taking place. Yes it is also using the 2d20 system!
The revised Quickstart is in layout and will be with us end of next week - with updated rules and the new adventure.
I'm really sorry Wave 1 is still behind - the whole team is working as hard as they can to catch up so we can get you the final chapters. What we're not doing is rushing though and I've told everyone to focus on quality first, not speed. We could indeed cut corners and give you layout that's just 'good enough' but often we'll look at laid out pages and say - you know what this could be better or that might improve how you read the page. That can cause hours or even days of delays but I think it's worth it and I know you'll agree when you see the final book.
So what's our goal now? To get as many chapters laid out and over to CB as possible by the end of next week and see where we are. We'll then give you another update. The good thing is the artwork and content is all approved - when CB see it in layout there have not been any requested changes so it is usually just a formality to let them see it and approve just in case before it comes to you.
That's it for today
Chris, Modiphius
