Dear Beloved Backers,
We want to extend our sincerest gratitude for your patience and unwavering support as we navigate the final stages of production.
We promised you an adventure beneath the waves, and boy, have we been diving deep to bring it to life! However, as with any great voyage, we've encountered a few unexpected currents along the way.
Firstly, we found ourselves swimming in a sea of assets! Our dedication to delivering an immersive experience led us to gather so much incredible content that we nearly doubled our intended page count. While this abundance of material is a testament to the richness of our project, it also presented a challenge. We want to ensure that the final product remains accessible to all, so we've had to navigate the waters of balancing content and cost.
Secondly, we faced a bit of a storm when importing our meticulously crafted content into our layout software. Some of the formatting got lost in translation, leaving us feeling a bit adrift. However, fear not! We've since hoisted our sails and charted a new course to ensure that every bold type, font size, and table is shipshape and ready to set sail.
Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for! We anticipate that Nautica Magazine will be ready to set sail in another 7-10 days. Once it's ready, we'll be diving right in to send out the digital version, with the physical copies not far behind as soon as they're approved by the printers.
But wait, there's even more excitement on the horizon! We're thrilled to announce that the Kickstarter campaign for Issue Two, "Vertigo," will now set sail on 4/16. We've decided to give ourselves a bit more time to prepare an even more spectacular campaign video, featuring tantalizing assets from our upcoming issue. Trust us, it'll be worth the wait!
As a token of our appreciation for your patience and support, here's a sneak peek of some preview images from the first issue of Nautica Magazine. Consider it a glimpse beneath the surface of what's to come!
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining us on this incredible journey. We can't wait to share the treasures of Nautica with you and embark on our next adventure together!
Smooth sailing,
Derrick "Captain Dutz" Utz
