Update #9: Still Working Behind the Screens
about 1 month ago

Hi Operatives!
Greetings from somewhere deep inside the system.
We’re still working on GHOST IN THE SHELL ARISE RPG, mostly on the text for now. That means chapters, missions, rules, and all the small things needed for a HUGE game like this one.
It is not the loudest part of production… but it is the most important!
We have also found most of the editing and proofreading team. GHOST IN THE SHELL ARISE RPG is not the kind of game where you want only one pair of eyes on the Corebook.
We will share more when there is more to show. For now, we wanted to let you know that the project is active and the next production steps are being prepared.
See you in the next update, Operatives!

The Ghost is Taking Shape... And More!

Hey, Operatives!
Our fingers fly across the keyboard so fast you can barely see them. Day and night, we’re glued to our screens, absorbed by the machine.
We’re working on the text to ensure you get breathtaking content and truly intriguing missions.
Whilst we’re busy with this exciting Netrunner-style work, we’ve also launched a new project here on Kickstarter.
Runeway is a slice-of-life role-playing game about self-discovery, while exploring the world of Weyrd. It’s played using Futhark runes instead of dice, and we’re sure it will charm those of you looking for chill games with a cosy atmosphere.
Take a look at this project!
In the meantime, take good care of your ghost and your shell.
See you in the next update, operatives!

Dear backers. We apologise for the long wait.
We have encountered unforeseen issues with the pledge manager.
The pledge manager is currently awaiting approval from BackerKit, and we are waiting for the platform to publish it. We are doing everything in our power to speed up this approval process. We will strive to be more communicative in the future.
As for the status of the project, we are in the development phase; we are working to ensure you get the best game possible.
We thank you for your patience and understanding.
Development in progress, Pledge Over Time issue and Pledge Manager ETA

Hello, operatives!
We send you our greetings from the top of our Public Security Section skyscraper.
Our technicians are working hard to write, model, and modulate the best game possible. You will soon receive more exciting news, but nothing special for a few months. They are working hard, battling with many hackers who stand in their way, but they will certainly deliver the game you want to play. Remember that at the end of this development phase, editing will begin, followed by layout. After approval from our licensors, we will submit a first draft to your bionic eyes to gather all possible feedback.
We have heard that some of you (not many, actually, but it happens) have had problems with Pledge Over Time. Any problems of this kind should be fixed during the Pledge Manager phase, and we are quite confident that this will be the case.
If you will encounter any problems during the Pledge Manager phase, please contact us, and we will resolve the issue manually for you. Please keep all receipts for payments already made.
And when will this Pledge Manager phase open, you may ask...
In a week's time, we'll give it a go! In two weeks at the latest.
This is a project with many players, and the opening of a Pledge Manager is never something to be underestimated. We ask for your continued patience.
Thank you very much, dear operatives. Stay tuned!
The Mana Project Team
