Greetings fellow adventurers!

We have the true pleasure, to announce, that your favourite professors Phil & Kaja Foglio will produce a short story for the Artbook in full Studio Foglio splendor! Very exciting!

The Foglios have said they will share some more details on this soon, like approximate size of the story and story direction.

The Artbook will then contain a short story set in the Girl Genius universe by the Foglios, artpieces and concept art from game development production and anecdotes and short stories from the game dev team. 

It's a hot ticket as they say! Pledgers at 100$ reward tier or above receives the book.

Thank you all backers, for making this fabulously creative production come to life! <3

11 Days Left!

Dear Backers,

the 11th day left of the campaign is upon us, and this one and a half week left will define if we are successful or not. The funding goal is within reach, and we can make it if we all get together to promote the campaign.

This is it. Please share the campaign with your friends, relatives, gaming and hobby communities. Let the Old Heterodynes hear you in their graves(?), and ring the Doom Bell everyday for the return of The True Heterodyne. And let's kick Zola Malfeazium out of the castle!

Thank you to all backers for your support so far! You are outstanding!

The "Muse" reward tier at 1000$ was sold out, at 20 items available. Thank you! I've added 10 more to the limited quantity of the "Muse" reward tier, so Phil Foglio will get some more work to do, and let's have some proper art on the walls in Castle Heterodyne.

The victory is near! Will we make it? Well, let's all try our hardest, for we sure will!

Until next time

Greetings fellow adventurers!

I'm doing a live interview on Twitch with Gwen Frey from 'The Dialog Box' podcast.

The Dialog Box is a video game development podcast starring game developer Gwen Frey. Gwen is an industry veteran with 12 years experience. She has worked on AAA titles such as BioShock Infinite, and smaller indie titles such as The Flame In The Flood. Most recently Gwen founded Chump Squad and launched her critically acclaimed indie puzzle game "Kine." On the podcast Gwen has casual chats with other developers. She digs into their pasts, their motivations, their inspirations, and what they are up to. When she found out her favorite indie comic Girl Genius was being adapted into a video game she just had to have Rain Games join her for an episode.

The interview will take place on Twitch, and Gwen will take questions from Twitch chat as well. The interview will be available on 'The Dialog Box' podcast after the live event. Links below.
