ArtCraft's J. Todd Coleman recently delivered a new founder's update to backers. In the update, we learned that the team plans to get something playable to pre-alpha backers from the game's "core combat" module sometime this summer. Backers will also soon be able to unbundle their packages and, eventually, gift, trade, and upgrade the individual contents of said bundles.
Coleman also sheds some light on what players will be receiving in their bundles. Additionally, backers who purchased a bundle containing a small castle or higher will now receive a bonus stronghold one size down added to their package.
