Hey, guys. Uh... Character is pretty close to done, I just want to spend a little more time on her. Especially during the Kickstarter I want to make sure I'm showing my best work. First impressions are crucial right now. But since I don't want to have nothing to show, here's a little teaser.
-Lillian, the 7th Thief.
Full reveal coming up soon. I'll include a bit more in that Update to make up for being late. I also promised to talk about the Roulette and how its "Randomness" is handled in the game, so I'll be doing that for this upcoming Update.
That's it, I'll be better from now on!

It's been brought to my attention on two occasions now that there has been some confusion regarding Tier Rewards. I have updated as many Tiers as I can with every Item included in the Tier. Unfortunately, I cannot Update Tiers that have already been taken. So some Tiers are missing a List of items.
Things that I can clear up right now is that all Tiers from the $15 Early Bird Tier and UP will include a digital copy of the game. All Tiers from the $5 Thank You Tier and UP will include having your name in the game's Credits. Sorry for not being more attentive beforehand. Please continue to come to me with any concerns you may have.
Day 3 Update

We're moving at an amazing pace. There's been so much support for the project, so a very big thanks to every one of you guys. This is another simple Update, I've got some information to cover and some things to clear up.
Regarding the PC Release of Thief's Roulette; there will be the option to request a Key for Steam, GoG or Itch.io. GoG and Itch offer DRM Free Game Keys, and that's something many people prefer and are accustomed to. So, that option is now on the table. Later down the line, all Backers that will receive a game, will be asked whether they want it for Nintendo Switch or PC. Those that choose PC will be given these 3 additional options.
Next, I realize that the Lady Luck's Game section of the Campaign Page may come off as a bit wordy, especially with no visual... So I put together a very simple Diagram that lays out a Day in Thief's Roulette:
I hope that didn't make things more confusing... Maybe no one had a problem understanding and I'm just being paranoid.
Simply put, the Players get scrambled into 3 Teams. At this time, a Trade Token can be used by anyone and everyone who has one. When the Teams are finalized, the 3 Teams go down into the Challenge Rooms. The order that the Teams solve the Puzzle, exit, and arrive at the Casino's Waiting Room will determine the placements. Then Marking Roulette begins, it spins on 2nd Place, then spins twice on 3rd Place. If someone holds a Reroll Token, they may Reroll any one of these 3 spins at the cost of their Token. Once the Marking Roulette is over and all Spins are finalized, if someone has 2 Marks they will be sent to the Execution Room. After this, the cycle will continue until 2 Challenges have been performed. After both Challenges, the Break Time begins and the Players may rest until tomorrow. They will awake, and begin the next 2 Challenges.
If anyone has questions just let me know...
The next thing I wanted to talk about is the music. For some reason I was offering the game's Soundtrack as a Backer Reward without even sharing the game's music. So there is now a soundcloud page for the game!
Just 3 Songs as of now, many more are being worked on. Along with making video games, my other life's dream was to ask people to check out my soundcloud. This is a pretty good day.
That's about it for now. Tomorrow I will do another Update and finally show the 7th character in Thief's Roulette. Along with the new character, I want to explain how the game handles the Marking Roulette itself. From the Player's point of view, marking is not truly random; so I will explain that in detail tomorrow. I hope you all look forward to it.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the project, please comment or message me!

A great end to the first day. For my first Kickstarter Campaign and my first serious game project I can't ask for anything more in just one day.
Thank you to all the Backers and everyone who has helped spread the word about the project. You've done your part, now it's time I got to work and did my part. I know I still have a lot to learn when it comes to marketing and putting myself out there; but over the course of this week (and beyond) I'll be contacting even more people, and letting them know about the Kickstarter. Along with that, I know I have an obligation to provide more for the supporters who are already here. This week I will reveal 2 new characters and one of the game's initial CGs. So that should be cool.
Please look forward to the future of Thief's Roulette. Theres so much more that I want to show.
