Is there an update on when we can expect the Novella?

 

The Kickstarter Campaign estimated April 2014 (clearly not possible) but now it has been six months since release (March 2015) and the first expansion has launched. 

 

When can we expect to receive the novella that many of us have purchased?

 

Note: I am genuinely curious, not mad. 

is this a real thing?

It's not just you then? My product page still says:

 

*** Not yet available ***

 

As we mentioned in Backer Update #92, Chris is busy working on finishing up the novella. Stay tuned for an upcoming backer update for more information on its release date.

 

I assumed that all these things will be available at launch. Nobody said anything about delays let alone this much. Is it still getting released?

Yes, it is still getting released. Chris Avellone confirmed it on Twitter when a member of this forum asked; a screenshot of the tweet was posted here but I don't have a link handy, so hopefully the user will chime in.

 

No ETA (MCA's busy finishing the WL2 novel right now, that I know of.)

Pretty sure he tweeted that it was in the hands of the editor so could be close.

Editors are probably going to try to strain all the "uniqueness" out, which is why it is taking so long. Fight the Power, Chris Avellone!

Ah. Well, then. Would be interesting to have an update from whomever is handling it now.

It has been six months since the last post--is there any update? Is this novella even still happening? 

Hey (you bunch of splendiferous gamers)

 

The plan is to release  the novella along side our 3.03 patch. Sorry it took us so long.

 

Slap hands!

-Sking

Sking,

 

can you either confirm or deny that 3.03 is going to be the last patch for this game?

****ing sweet!!!

Sking,

Haha, oh... you.

That's nice to hear. Is a good moment to start reading the Novella ;D

The patch 3.03 is here. Have you planned a release date for the novella?

 

Thanks in advance

Pretty sure they meant the official release of 3.03, not the beta. The official release of a patch is always accompanied by a backer update, and the novella will be in that update.
