Hi everybody,
Long time no see. A lot of ground to cover since the last update.
First of all, I was hospitalized with a collapsed lung (spontaneous pneumothorax) – just felt a spike in pain and shortness of breath on the way to work a few weeks ago. It was a bit scary at the time. Spent about 5 days split over two visits to complete it. There was also a strong possibility that I would need surgery, but upon further inspection this was not the case (phew!).

The final prototype has arrived and it looks amazing! I’ve prepared the game for blind playtesting – I have a group set up and ready to go. A prototype is heading their way as we speak. I’m really looking forward to hearing how they get on. I’m also considering setting up more blind playtests. While I’m eager to see third-party reviews, I need to make sure all blind play tests go smoothly.
The prototype looks pretty ingenious if you ask me |
There was a great update I shared on the website recently as well. Most of it is about quality of life, and will hopefully get more people directed to the email forum or twitter page. Which is the main goal of this update – trying to get more conversions to the Kickstarter hype list to improve user experience and clarity of messaging for the ‘buy’ page. Email Lists and Twitter pages will be my core ways of tracking ‘hype’. That doesn’t mean that other social media isn’t important! This can only be ignored at this stage compared to other stages.
You can’t tell me that doesn’t look amazing |
My main efforts right now are getting the word out and marketing – Blind playtests and third party playtests are kind of “set it and forget it” deals, but I’m actively keeping track of the tracking I’m doing. Honestly, my traditional advertising has worked the best so far, but this is mostly due to me not being a “Social Media” type of person. It doesn’t come naturally to me (it hardly comes as a learned behavior).
I’m also going to do some research to see what my best approach to advertising is – This is something I’ve researched in the past, but since it’s not my forte, I definitely need a refresher – stonemaiergames.com actually seems like an awesome avenue to This. The guy behind it seems to be a marketing genius and ran a successful Kickstarter. I’ll definitely be making time this weekend to read their countless articles and use those insights to refine my approach.
Oh, and I almost forgot – A really cool update is that I’ve laid out more rules for public consumption on the official Treason Act page! Feel free to check it out and stay up to date on our social media so you can see when I publish the next set of rules.

See you again friends.
