February Update
about 2 years ago – Wed, Feb 21, 2024 at 08:41:51 AM

Hello hello!

Adrián here for your February update. This month, we bring you a three more playtests:

• Cleric subclasses, including the Martyr and Hospitality domains
• Fighter subclasses, including the Baraúma spearfighter and the Blade hand
• Monk subclasses, including the Way of the Lines and the Way of the Spirit Sphere

We welcome feedback via our discord server or a direct e-mail: [email protected]

We are hard at work, with no other major updates regarding our projected releases. Carnival just happened and that kept probably over half the team occupied with the holiday. However, I have a nice preview for you, an illustration showing how Koboans might see the Koboan pantheon of gods.

Here you'll see, left to right:

Deities of Kaboa, the overworld:

• Jul, the zealous sun, the light of truth
• Kamau, the sky jaguar huntress
• Hovchu, the logical, calculating, moon

Deities of Koboa, the material world:

• Jatel, the laughing storm
• Vavkob, mother stone
• Veng, the weaver
• Mangavi, the uniter

Deities of Kiboa, the underworld:

• Hegh, the caretaker of the dead
• Manghom, the imprisoned, raging, earth.

Until next time friends!

January Update

Hello everyone! We hope 2024 is going quite well for you all!

As a reminder, if you haven't filled in your survey yet please do so, it would be a huge help if we can reach 100% on those.

Development Status

We are pleased to report we have 100% of the text for the Koboa Core Book in our editing/sensitivity review pipeline now. Artwork assetsare at around 95% submitted and finalized. I'm constantly blown away by what is being produced for this book, and hope you all love it as much as I have been. Development has slowed down a bit due to the holidays and some personal issues the team has dealt with. I myself have had some family medical situations to attend to, and expect that I won't be getting too much Koboa stuff done for about a month or so. However, editing, layout, and art production continue. 

Localization and Conversion

I'm also pleased to report that we have started out localization work to get the text of the book into Spanish, as well as converting our finalized 5e designs to Pathfinder 2e. We will hopefully have a new PF2 class ready for playtesting in the near future. We will start conversion to Black Flag soon as well. For the Portuguese localization of Koboa, we intend to work with a partner in Brazil to get the book localized and produced as nicely as possible and will hopefully have news soon.

Playtesting

Playtesting progresses, we've taken the feedback we've gotten from some of our playtest packets and are applying it to make adjustments. This month we have two new playtests for you to look at:

Playtest Packet 4 contains two Druid subclasses, the Circle of the Feral and the Circle of the Sacred Transformation, as well as the Spells used by the second subclass. Most of these spells were in our spells playtest, but I'd like to note Earth to Flesh as a new spell. Access it here.

Playtest Packet 5 contains two Bard subclasses, the College of the Storyteller and the College of Guardianship. Access it here.

We hope you enjoy the designs we've been making, and if you have any comments at all you can email us at [email protected] or join our Discord Server where you can get the playtests earlier and interact with the community. 

Art!

As always, I'll leave you with an art preview I am particularly excited about, this time art for the College of the Storyteller Bard Subclass by Lucas Nascimento.

Can't wait to hear what you think,

Adrián Mejía

Hey all!
 December and the holiday season are upon us. We've made  great progress on making content for Koboa. More and more text goes  through our development pipeline, and we are on our last art wave with  the art assets left in the single digits. 

93% of backerkit polls have been filled out. If you haven't filled yours out yet, we ask you do so when you get the chance.

Playtests

 Expect more playtests to  come as we finish our editing passes for playable text. This month we  have a packet of equipment and of two barbarian subclasses for you to  playtest. Join our discord server to leave your feedback and get the playtests as soon as they are available. 
Get the playtest packet here

Art Preview

 We also have a special art preview from you, a beautiful scene of a joyful day in a park in Koboa.
 Happy December!
