Hi , first of all happy 2020, start of a new year, start of a new decade.

 

If like me, you've may have set yourself some really big goals.  In 2020, I am aiming to focus on completing 'Digitopia - The Graphic Novel'.  

 

Last year, with your help and encouragement, we were able to complete 'Digitopia 1.0: Displaced Dreams'.

This year the plan is complete issues 2 and 3.  The aim is to compile all 3 issues into the graphic novel.  

 

Digitopia 2.0 is well under production, just an hour ago, I was able to see page 3 of issue 2.  Tom, who is the Lead Artist on Digitopia 2.0 is doing some amazing work.

The plan is to complete the first ten pages during February and then launch a Kickstarter to fund the remaining 14 pages.  Currently I've got this Kickstarter pencilled in for March.  

 

All being equal we should have Digitopia 2.0, finished for around June or July which is when we'll aim to begin work on Digitopia 3.0.  

It is a bit of a stretch to get the book finished for 2020, most of the dependencies are based upon how much funding we can get from the upcoming Kickstarter campaign.  

 

If we're do really well, we will be able to over hit on our target and get enough funding for issues 2 and 3 together in one campaign - well this is the dream - gotta shoot high in life. 

I've found that preparing, running and delivering on each Kickstarter campaign is taking about 4 months - that's a third of the year each time we need to go for funding.  

 

It's fine, it happens, things just take longer than ideally I'd like - this is more of an endurance race then a sprint race and I'm in it for the long run. 

 

So please mark it in your calendars that we'll aim to run a Kickstarter for Digitopia 2.0 around March, 

I've got some amazing rewards planned for then, I hope you will be able to take part and encourage your friends to take part too.

I hope 2020 is the start of something very special for you and wish you every success this year and this decade.

 

Thanks again for all your support, best wishes.
