Latest Updates from Our Project:

Surveys Coming Soon
about 7 years ago – Wed, Mar 08, 2017 at 09:55:45 AM

Hello, everyone!

I've been waiting until we had some things sorted out to contact you, so I'm sorry for the radio silence.

First off, we are incredibly humbled by your support and excited and energized to get everything to you very soon.

PDF Coming Soon! The reason we have not sent out your PDF of the book yet is that we are completing the last few pages that will serve as extras for the book. Photos, Fan Art, Thank You Page, that sort of thing. We just want to make sure it is perfect before we send it to you. You should have it before the end of March and that is a generous goal, we are hoping for something sooner. Thanks for your patience.

Speaking of Thank You's We will be sending out a survey to see how you want your name in the back of the book. Please fill them out ASAP so we can finish that page and get the books to the printer and send you your digital version.

You can expect a full survey from Backerkit next week. There you can detail your add-ons and let us know your shipping address and any other important details. In the meantime let us know if you have any questions through a message here on Kickstarter or on the comments page.

Thank you again!

Jason and Brandon

Today is The Day!
about 7 years ago – Fri, Mar 03, 2017 at 02:04:14 PM

The Last Day

This is it, folks. The final day of the Dusk campaign.

You guys have been amazing so far and I'm only asking for one more day of putting up with all of our shameless self-promotion. Please join in and help me spread the word to the farthest reaches of the internet. Tell your most distant relatives and ask them to do the same.

It's the last day. Why not, right?

Live Tonight

We'll be doing a live countdown tonight right here on Kickstarter to make sure you sign up to be reminded. Watch and comment on Kickstarter so we can see your comments and answer your questions. We'll stream it to Facebook but may not be able to see your comments over there.

Click here to Subscribe to the Live Stream!

We should be starting the stream around 8 PM CST, unless we get restless and start early.

We'll be doing some giveaways during the live stream, too. Check that out below.

Original Dusk Art Giveaways

During the Live Stream tonight we'll be giving away some art in a couple different ways.

1.) Everyone pledging a physical reward will be entered into a giveaway to receive a piece of original art used to create Dusk. We'll do the drawing live, not sure how yet, but we'll figure it out and you'll see us pick the name randomly, live.

2.) We'll be giving something away just for backers who are watching the live stream. You'll have to be on Kickstarter to win, though. How will we pick? Not sure yet. Maybe we'll ask you a question and the first to post the correct answer wins. We'll let you know how to win during the live stream, so don't miss it!

Jose's Art Cave Dusk Art

You may remember earlier in the campaign that we posted a series of live art videos from artist Jose Fernandez. They were fascinating, so go watch them if you haven't. Take a look at the final piece. It came out amazing! Thanks, Jose!

 Last Update

Okay, that is the last update before the campaign ends. Get out there and tell everyone. Thank you a million times over for all of your patience and support. Jason and I will keep making cool things for you as long as you want us to. We couldn't do it without you and wouldn't want to.

Sincerely,

Brandon & Jason

Coloring Book Unlocked!
about 7 years ago – Thu, Mar 02, 2017 at 02:50:54 PM

Woo Hoo!

It was actually unlocked right after the last update, but I didn't want to bother you guys too much. This is your only chance to pick up one of these coloring books. We don't plan on making any more after the Kickstarter so add $20 to your pledge and you'll have one delivered with the rest of your goodies!

Cool Projects

While I have you here I wanted to tell you about some other cool things we've been getting excited about here on Kickstarter. We are not involved in these projects, but they sound cool to us. We thought you might think so too!

Boston Metaphysical Society Trade Paperback 

An ex-Pinkerton detective, a spirit photographer, and a genius scientist battle supernatural forces in late 1800's Boston.

Yes, please.

Plus, get this, the main character has the same name as Dusk's main character! Different spelling, but it was a different era. Check it out! The project ends in less than 24 hours!

Time Cheetah in "The Secret Of Stalin Island"! 

A time-traveling cat man heads back to 1968 in search of a renegade communist on the mysterious Stalin Island. It is NOT a drama. 

If any of you know me you know I was in when they said, "time-traveling"! To be honest, this is just as cool sounding as a thing can get for me, plus the art is top-notch. Don't miss it.

Not much time left!

Thanks for checking in and don't forget to tell everyone about Dusk right now. The campaign ends tomorrow!

Brandon & Jason

2 Days Left!
about 7 years ago – Thu, Mar 02, 2017 at 06:29:08 AM

Good morning! The countdown has switched from days to hours so you know things are getting pretty serious.

Coloring Book

As I am writing this we are just $6 away from unlocking the coloring book!

If anyone was thinking of adding that to their order you might as well do it now. Adjust your pledge and add $20 to your current total. After the campaign, you'll get a survey asking you to select what you added on and you can select the coloring book and whatever else you wanted.

38 Hours to Go!

The campaign is almost over so please take a minute to share the project with anyone who likes cool stuff. You guys helping us spread the word has made all the difference and we can't thank you enough.

Quick Update
about 7 years ago – Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 11:34:28 AM

Good morning!

Just wanted to give a quick update and then you can all get back to doing whatever it is you do on Fat Tuesday (aka. Mardi Gras!)

Since the last update we've gone over 150 backers and then some. That is amazing! We are excited to have so many people believe in our book and we can't wait to get it to you. 

We are less than $400 from unlocking the coloring book so now is a great time to tell everyone you know and help us spread the word about Dusk. Share the project on as many social media platforms as you can think of and tag friends you think might be interested.

Also, if you haven't checked out the Add-Ons section you should stop by the main page and see if there are a couple things you want to add to your order. We've got posters and postcards and more, so check it out!

Posters • $15 each or 3 for $30
