A recap, Azrael feature, and what's next for Deliverance!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Jun 10, 2021 at 07:09:06 AM

I never expected to post TWO updates in a single day, but you guys have continued to smash through goals!

I appreciate your sharing and talking about the campaign!

Speaking of that, before we get into what we've accomplished, I'd love to take this moment to mention that I am looking for opportunities to talk Deliverance with media personalities! If you have a podcast, YouTube channel, or another suggestion, please e-mail [email protected] with the subject "Media Inquiry" and a brief overview of what you'd like to do!

I have spent time on shows with 10 views and 10,000 and am open to all your ideas :)

Now let's get into stretch goals!

Here are the SEVEN Stretch Goals we've unlocked so far:

Seven stretch goals in one day... that's... Heavenly 😇

What's next?

Here's the next stretch goal in line for us to smash! 

This is a *huge* upgrade, because it affects about 90% of the components in the game. 

Think we can unlock it before the day is through?

And the teaser for the next angel added to the game:

A look at Azrael, the Angel of Death

We unlocked Azrael almost immediately in the morning, and as my personal favorite angel in Deliverance, I think he deserves some screen time!

Azrael specializes in plague, pestilence, and death. Though this is a fantasy game, his angel character has an interesting story attached to it. His eyes were once open, and it looked as though Azrael, though just a sketch on paper, had seen much trauma. We decided to close his eyes, and the art of the Angel of Death just has this depth to him now that puts me in awe.

Azrael's play style can revolve around him keeping foes at a distance and spreading afflictions across the enemies, or he can be turned into a highly mobile angelic assassin! He even has a penchant for healing and removing afflictions, which is actually my favorite way to play Azrael! His Talent cards are a ton of fun, and the options for his Talent builds offer such variety!

Featured Review: Love Thy Nerd

I wanted to share a very cool organization with you guys called Love Thy Nerd. They reviewed Deliverance, which will be viewable on their YouTube channel sometime soon (soon as Bubba gets back from Costa Rica -- I'm a tad bit jealous).

Love Thy Nerd sends staff to conventions to help publishers and booth workers do things like sit, use the bathroom, stop talking for a few minutes, get something to eat... if you have ever worked a booth, you know those things are a constant move. They have even paid for booth staff to attend conventions and work booths on behalf of publishers in need.

And they are huge Christian nerds of all types. 

I have been impressed by how LTN gives everything they can to act as the hands and feet of Jesus to nerds and nerd culture everywhere they go.

They have a Facebook Group that acts as their base of operations, and they have a slew of podcasts that cover a wide range of topics all in the realm of stuff nerds love (like BOARD GAMES).

They even did a deep dive into the mind and life of the Andrew Lowen, the designer of Deliverance, on their Humans of Gaming podcast!
