I Crave the Loop: A snack-powered roguelike

Created by Jonathon Boyle

A ghost hunts you across a map of your home in this fast-paced, solo/duet RPG about snacking and pets. Can you escape with your cereal?

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Last call for surveys and pre-orders
4 months ago – Tue, Jul 16, 2024 at 12:40:46 PM

Hello hello! 

Another short update with some exciting news! Emily is finalizing the layout today and we will be sending the books to a local printer this week. There's still a few outstanding surveys for the project, so if you have not yet completed your BackerKit survey, you have until Friday to do so! 

If you have not received a BackerKit survey, check your spam folder, then message us here on Kickstarter and I'll send the survey to you. 

That's all I've got! I'll keep y'all posted as we move forward the next few weeks, but expect things to be a little quiet the first weekend of August as Bri and I head to Gen Con. If you'll be at the show, come visit us at the Possum Creek Games booth!

Cheers,

Jon and Bri

Almost to the finish line!

Happy Sunday!

It's been a minute, but that's mostly because I haven't had much to update folks on. We've been going through the same process we have for the last few weeks, which is finishing the last few pieces of art (Maps have taken some time to translate) and letting Emily work her magic on book layout. We're almost finished with that process, and the book should be ready to send to print next week. 

Bri and I will be attending Gen Con the first weekend of August, so we won't be able to ship books out until we return. I'm hopeful that we'll be able to send those your way by mid-August. As such, If you have not filled out your BackerKit survey, please do so soon. We cannot ship you your physical rewards unless you complete your BackerKit survey. 

As far as digital rewards, it's my goal to get those to you before Gen Con, as that's just a few clicks of a button and doesn't require us to wait for the printer. I'll post updates in the coming weeks when the fulfillment gears start turning. 

Cheers,

Jon

I Crave the Loop BackerKit surveys are out!
5 months ago – Sat, Jun 08, 2024 at 02:26:05 PM

Hey all and happy Saturday! 

The smoke test went well, so you should all have BackerKit surveys in your email now! If you don't receive one, check your spam folder, then message us if it's still not present. 

We'll leave our surveys open for a couple weeks while Emily finishes layout, and then lock things in and charge for shipping at the end of the month when we're close to ordering books! We'll post updates and reminders here before we close down surveys.

Cheers, and have a great weekend y'all! 

Smoke tests out!

Happy Thursday y'all! 

We sent out smoke tests surveys this afternoon, which means a few of you should have surveys to complete! If these go well, we'll send out the rest of our surveys this weekend, so keep an eye on your email! 

As a reminder, you will be able to modify your pledge level or select additional add-ons in BackerKit if there are other things you'd like to pick up! If you're happy with your current pledge status, simply fill out your shipping information, add a payment method, and we'll send you your pledge items! 

If you backed at the Creature tier for a pet commission from Bri, please keep an eye on the email address associated with your Kickstarter account. She will reach out to you about your pet Commission in the coming weeks. If you haven't received this email by the end of June, please reach out to us on Kickstarter.

That's it for today! I'll send out another short update when we send out the full wave of Surveys after the smoke test is done. 

Cheers,

Jon and Bri <3

BackerKit Set Up! Smoke Tests Soon
5 months ago – Wed, May 29, 2024 at 03:33:50 PM

Hey all! 

Short update today as Bri and I are heading out to a convention in Des Moines this weekend. If you are going to Des Moines Con, come say hi!

BackerKit setup is complete as of this afternoon. We're awaiting approval from BackerKit to send out smoke tests to a small number of backers to ensure that everything functions as it should. Expect those to go out next week, with the rest of the surveys to follow shortly. 

Emily is currently plugging away at layout, and we're very excited to send this to print when she is done. Keep an eye on your emails next week! 

As promised in a previous update, here are some of the feline inspirations for I Crave the Loop. Hatch and Ghost, my houses own two creatures, and Dandelion, the resident orange creature at Bri's house. 

Have a great weekend, and we'll see you next week!

Cheers,

Jon and Bri
