In lieu of a full update please read the following thread

My thoughts for this year.

The short and skinny

So, I've been having a rough year. I'm not sure what I'll be doing in the future, but I think this will be the last update for a while. Fact of the matter is, fulfillment is almost done and I don't really have much news that isn't about my personal life. If I do, I'll come back and share with you guys. I think I'm going to take a break from game design while I get my life in order, but I will always be thankful for each and everyone of you. Getting this book out there was my dream and ifykyk, but it's the one thing I was clinging on to for years now and now that I've proven that I can do it... I guess I'm done? I love making games, but I think I just need some rest for now.


Take care ya'll.

Happy Holidays!

Nick.

Cause orders are shipping!

It's a big relief to be able to finally announce this. I felt like it wasn't real until I got the news on Twitter and I knew days before because well... I talk to my distributor. :-D This journey has been not so much a rollercoaster, but a bungie jump. Ifykyk, right? The beginning of the story was a low point in my life, but honestly? I'd not change that moment because it pushed me to do something different with my life; the past is what made me the game designer I am today. 


(Off subject, when I said "but honestly?" HOW DO YOU DO THAT GRAMATICALLY CORRECT? Like... the question mark is the emphasis for the tone in my head, but it's not the end of the statement either right? Anyway...)


Getting the game done, seeing my Twitter profile jump in popularity, doing a bunch of interviews and promo, this campaign completing, and the award nomination? Highest point ever. The rest of this year? Probably the worst in my life. Relationships, Health, Jobs, Friendships, Finances? Trash. I hit bottom. However, I can feel the cord reaching it's maximum tension and it's going to spring me back up to the bridge. We're shipping! 


So friends, I'm going to need you to do one simple thing. Maybe a few really.


  • Please DM me with any problems you have. I'll see that they are solved to the best of my ability. If you've reached out to me before and I have not got back to you yet or your problem is still unresolved, please hit me up as soon as you see this.
  • Check your backerkit, your email, all that. If your cards ain't charge, fix that today. If you need an extra add on or something... TODAY. The store is closing at the end of the month. Campaigns been done for over a year and the game is OUT now. LETS GO PEOPLE. :-D Also, seriously buy an extra PDF or leave a tip or something... I'm broke. KS is ironically expensive AF.
  • POST THOSE BOOKS ON TWITTER. Tag me @Fallonmyblade! Honestly, it's the one thing I've been waiting for like the last 5 years of game development. PLEASE tell me your thoughts. Hoping they are positive, but I want to be the best I can be at this and I'll take whatever feedback I get really. 
  • And #KeepItHeroic. Nick Out.

Books are coming soon.

No really. We got ups tracking numbers and everything. 

Everything should be starting to get moving in a week or two. I'm pleased with that. Beyond that? I'm exhausted. College is hard, real life is getting more expensive, and my job is a huge bummer.  I'm looking forward to the books getting to ya'll because it'll be a big positive to a few seasons of bad times.


Will update when I have more 

Books are on the boat!

Yall. I'm excited and tired af. 

Seriously, my life has been a whole rollercoaster, ya'll. I wont get into the details, but the last three months or so have been the best and absolute worst months of my adult life. That said, I'm gonna ask for ya to bear with me as the updates are going to be short. 


As per the headline, the books have all been printed and are getting shipped via boat to our distributor from China to Penn, USA. Its a long process and they told me to expect about 4-8 weeks. 


The rest of the merch on the otherhand should be accpunted for as of this report, and I am projecting everything should be done around January save any mahor hiccups. 


I will you all posted as soon as I know more. 


In the meantime, I just started school and will likely have to move soon so my IRL schedule is even busier than usual. I will do my best to continue to be available for folks as much as I can, but expect some delays in my response time. Im handling most of thisbend on my own. 


Thanks again for everything yall. 

Orders are locking tomorrow!

Last chance to make changes, ya'll!

The time is here! We're off to print, we've got the electronic proofs, and we're getting ready to rock! The pre order store will stay open for a while longer, but anyone that's already got their orders in will have their cards charged tomorrow so I can get to preparing for shipping. Please be sure to submit any changes today if possible. 


Thank you again for your support everyone!
