"Happy New Year everyone!
So, the big news, as previously mentioned is that we are now hovering around goal three. As predicted, the grand total has dropped a little as people adjusted down following last month's release, but the majority of declined payments should go through over the next week or two, so we should be safely back above the $5k mark sooner than later. I need a little time to adjust to a four week release cycle, so the next one will be mid-February, with monthly releases to follow (as long as we don't dip under).
With it being a new year, I thought it'd be a good time for another roadmap post. With Yron now onboard, hopefully things are going to speed up a bit; the current plans look a little like this:
Near future - Completion of the Orciad, Helayna escape path #2, Fey arc, Alexia forge job
Mid future - Map expansion, goblin recruitment campaign, first major town (Rastedel), nemesis system
On the horizon - The Frozen Tundra
In addition to the above there will also be, of course, new ruler / exploration / resource events, more sex scenes for pretty much every character, more job content for Alexia, more new staff content, and much more.
So, moving on to the final item for today, work is ongoing for the next release. As you can see above, Erick is almost done with a gorgeous background for swamp events. Keidi was a little unhappy with Liurial's face, so she's working on improving that, and then she'll be making sprites for two new characters that the backers will be seeing in the near future. MDN is a little behind due to the holiday season, but once he finishes the drider CG from last month's commission list, he'll be moving onto the ones for January (which will also be shared with the backers in the near future). I'll probably do the next CG poll next week, so if you a poll level backer, keep your eyes open for that.
That's all for today. I'll be making an announcement about the side project and some other changes in a few days, but in the meantime, I'm looking forward to the next year in Solansia, and I hope you guys are too.

I would have preferred it if the first extra land to be added would have been Ealoen or whatever the elf forest is called, but that's a minor quibble. Oh and it's nice to see that they're doing a bit of work on Liurial's face, hopefully it comes out looking better rather then worse, I wonder if they'll change her eye color too, yellow eyes with blonde hair strikes me as being a little odd, now that I've had some time to think about it.
