Update #2: First Art

Dear backers,
Sorry for the delayed update and thank you for filling out your BackerKit surveys. While Kathryn is busily working on the game draft, Lucille has been completing some important initial art. The first piece below is of the Pendragons around a table, which mirrors the same art found in the previous games. The second piece is of the new Pendragon designs ready for WillowsQuest to create the sign language backdrops, which will then be added to the book and flash cards.
The game is progressing well, with Fernando Salvaterra and Helia Santo beginning their illustration work in January. Fernando will be bringing the caverns of the Underisles to life with his stunning map work, and Helia will tackle the Darklights, this games equivalent of the Silver Apple knights.
That's all for now, but we'll post an update whenever new art is complete.
Much thanks, Team Hatchlings

Dear backers,
We're just in the process of completing the pledge manager for UNDERISLES, which will be sent out the first week of October via BackerKit.
Lucille Nual is currently working on the new Pendragon character designs and once they're in place, WillowsQuest will replicate them for our sign language material. See below to see how this worked for Overisles.
That's everything for now! More updates to come.
Much thanks, Team Hatchlings

Dear backers,
A huge thank you from myself, Kathryn and the rest of the UNDERISLES team!
This has been our most successful crowdfund to date and it's all thanks to your pledges, word of mouth, and just a general positive vibe throughout. We've signed a contract with BackerKit for their pledge manager, which we're now highly accustomed to using. That will go LIVE in a couple of weeks once the funds have cleared.
UNDERISLES will have regular project updates throughout the production timeline, with us commissioning art whenever we complete a new section.
We're so excited to complete this groundbreaking educational trilogy and teaching pack for 2026.
Best wishes for now, Team Hatchlings

Couldn't resist a Zelda reference.
We're into the final 24hrs of funding so let's make the first big announcement! We're delighted to welcome Juno Curtin (Crowva) to the UNDERISLES art team. Juno worked on Cryptid Creeks and their character/creature designs will truly add to the overall appeal of the game!
Many thanks, Team Hatchlings

Final 48 hours!

Hi,
We're about to move into the final 48hrs for UNDERISLES and it's hard to imagine how it could've gone any better!
We have a couple of great announcements to make when the campaign wraps in a few days, but in the meantime please continue to spread the word on socials and consider upgrading your Wellwisher pledge (though of course it's really appreciated as is!).
We're still debating which pledge manager to use, with Kickstarter now providing their own in house. We'll likely stick with BackerKit until next year, but will confirm this soon.
