Greetings from The Engine…
Apparently The Engine is too busy to be bothered for this update, so I will bring some news myself!
As June comes to a close, work continues on all aspects of the second edition update and relaunch. I know, I know…’When is that going to happen?’ is the response I would wager you diehards are asking right? I’d love to give y’all a solid date, but as a mostly one man show, there’s a lot of moving parts that I have lay into place to get a campaign put together that not only will I and the rest of the team be proud of, but one that you and others will be excited to support. That means getting everything that is planned to a place that is not just presentable, but impressive…or at least as close to impressive as possible. The crowdfunding environment and expectations are not what they were waaaay back when I helped launch a little over two dozen campaigns at CMON, so I have to make sure those expectations are met with a solid campaign.
I have been looking at building a bit of a roadmap to track said progress visually to share with the community, but at the moment, it’s only in spreadsheets. So with that said, here’s a rough layout of the contents to show what’s being planned.

That should cover it…I think…I hope. If not…well it’ll come up in the campaign, I’m sure. So, what Companies and Factions are we going to see then? As I’ve revealed before, T2E will have a number of Seasons. Season 1 being the launch Season and it will feature around the Dickensians and the Servants of The Engine. Storylines are written, the plot is laid out and the shake up is wild! New characters are introduced, existing characters are closing their own storylines, and some are experiencing massive changes. Who will we be introducing?.
Add-ons will see our Elevated Community models:
Dickensians: Benny the Skamper - Art - sketch
Guild of Harmony: Sir Mac McLelland - Art - Update WIP (Mac asked for changes)
Guild of Harmony: Senior Agent - Existing art/model carries over
I will apologize in advance to the wallets of those who decide to go all in, but I will do my best to keep prices as low as I can, as this isn’t my day job and a labor of love (for all of us involved), I want to see it grow, not replace my income.
That covers a good chunk of what to expect, and I did include the current state of art for each character. Next update, I’ll introduce the team (y’all know Pete already) and how they all assist with getting T2E off the ground, along with the process of getting a single new character from argument…errrr…discussion to model.
One final thing, The Twisted Companion App is almost ready for launch…wait…Companion App?? Yup…something else that’s been brewing behind the scenes for y’all. It’s in the final stages of testing on both the Google and Apple app stores - keep an eye out for that random update soon!
