Cairo:Otherscape Playtesting Copy v0.5 is sending out!
Work continued on Cairo and we have added the two remaining Jobs to the Defying Death campaign (Chapter 5). We've also added the missing Vendors & Goods subsection at the end of Chapter 3.

The updated version of the Cairo:Otherscape Playtesting Copy (v0.5) is now being sent out to backers via DriveThruRPG.

------------
The next release
Our next update will be two weeks from now on May 22nd.
For this upcoming update we aim to release a final playtesting copy of Cairo, containing all the text and final layout, but with some art missing that will be added later on. We're also aiming to release a first look from Neuro, which will be of Chapter 4, the Key Players.
Timeline estimate
Art production has been slower than we anticipated and we also hadn't hit some of our estimated writing deadlines.
As mentioned above, you can expect a full playtesting copy of Cairo later this month (May 22nd), but a full digital release of the entire project including Neuro is now estimated for August.
This of course means that our estimated timeline for physical release (originally estimated for August) will be similarly postponed by 2-3 months. We hope that we can hit print by September/October, which means that physical delivery will be at the earliest by the end of this year.
We'll continue to keep you posted if anything changes in regards to our expected fulfillment timeline.
