Good evening everybody!
Just a small update from our end. The post-campaign add-on store is taking a little longer than planned to make public, but don't worry you won't miss out! It should be available by the end of the week and we'll be making an announcement the moment it goes live!
It'll allow all of you to add additional items to your pledge, and everything that has been available in the campaign will be available in the pledge manager.
We'll have a larger update for you all in a few days, until then take care of yourselves!
- Monster Channel
Thank you!

Mayors!
A huge THANK YOU to every single one of you from everyone here at Monster Channel! When we launched this project, we hadn't dared to dream it would be this successful, or that Animal Kingdom would gain such an amazing community so quickly. We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you - without you, this game, this world, these characters, and everything else about Animal Kingdom wouldn't be able to come to fruition. It means the world to us.
But a successful Kickstarter campaign is just the beginning of a much longer journey for us! So, what's next for Animal Kingdom?
The Backerkit pledge manager will become available for ALL backers in the next day or so, and this is where you can adjust your pledges and add extra add-ons if you wish! Backer surveys will be sent out in the coming days as well, to follow up on important information that we'll need from you all.
Anyone who missed their opportunity to pledge will be able to pre-order product later this year our Backerkit pre-order store. This product won't have the same discounts that were available here though, and not all of the same options will be available!
We'd like to announce that we will be applying additional funds raised from the pledge manager and pre-order store to our stretch goals! We'll be sure to let you know immediately if additional milestones are reached.
Our marketing efforts for Animal Kingdom don't stop now that the Kickstarter campaign has ended. We intend to grow Animal Kingdom and its community, so we will be working with content creators, running events, attending conventions -- you name it, we'll be doing it to help get the word out!
In that vein, we will be running a month-long online league later this Summer! This can be considered a preview of some of our plans for organised play. Exclusive prizes will be up for grabs, and more information will be handed out in due time!
Again, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts to our entire community. We are beyond excited to show you what's in store for Animal Kingdom, and ask that you'll join us in some of the following places so we can keep you fully in the loop with updates and discussion!
36 hours to go!

For those of you seeing the pledges in anything but GBP the current amount might not seem anything special, but for us over here in the UK it shows us having just broken £60,000, which means we're 3x above our initial goal! This is an incredible achievement for the project and is quickly bringing us towards out next stretch goal... Can we make it in time?
The Aisha the Glowskater playmat appears to be just as popular as we thought it would be, so that makes this a good time to let you know another piece by the same artist is currently in the works! Mirumey's cards have been popular with all of you, so we thought we'd show off the early sketch for her latest piece.
A sketch right now, but in time it'll become a beautiful new card!
This card will be the first to be illustrated from the cycle of Songstresses, one of which will feature in each attribute. Knowing what you do so far about each attribute, can you guess which one this lovely chiroptera will belong to?
We'll have more information about the post-campaign pledge manager for you all tomorrow, since we've had a few messages about these past couple of days. Until then, take care of yourselves!
New add-ons unlocked, still 3 days to go!

New playmats! Aisha appears to be a particular favourite.
Good job everybody!
As of a few hours ago, the new playmat stretch goal was unlocked! Dream Archive Bibliosoph and Aisha the Glowskater are now available as playmat add-ons, alongside the 4 main Assistant Mayors!
There is also still 1 Creator Tier slot left for anyone out there who may be still considering it. If you're interested and have any questions about it, our messages are open!
The last little tidbit for tonight is that 2lainz over at the Card Game Crypt has done a How to Play video which is well worth a watch! Very much a change of pace from our own, with a lot of the channel's signature humour and style.
One week to go, new add-ons now available!

Good afternoon everyone!
It's hard to believe that we're only 1 week away from the end of the Kickstarter, it feels like it's gone so quickly! We'd like to thank you for all of the support you've given us, all the questions you've asked us, all the games you've been playing, and everything else that has helped us get past 250% of our funding goal!
Since the last update we actually spent a weekend at a UK convention playing Animal Kingdom with people, meeting folks from our discord, and handing out promo Assistant Mayors to anyone who came to see our stand. Thank you to everybody who came to speak to us, and doubly so for those of you who have since come here to support it!
Which brings us to today's updates. We've made a small edit to the Apotheosis tier. It now comes with 10 hero packs on top of the other bits, as we'd had feedback that the extras over the previous tier weren't as alluring as other tiers. Hopefully this helps anybody who was thinking about backing that tier.
As promised Non-Holo Uncut Print Sheets are now available in the add-ons! We want the holofoil ones to be truly exclusive so they're only going to be available to the biggest backers, and through giveaways/competitions that we run after the Kickstarter winds down.
Counter Setswillbe added in the next day or two. I only managed to get my hands on a set of the coloured counters a couple of days ago, and am just in the process of finalising the costs for them. They're really nice pieces, and although my camera/lighting doesn't do them the best justice I hope that you can still see how cool they are! Each set will be enough for 1 player, and will contain the same selection of counters seen in the photo of the wooden ones in the last update
One of each of the coloured tokens! Excuse how dark the left ones are, the green is quite a lot brighter when you're not in a poorly lit office!
PledgeManager! Once the campaign has concluded you'll be given an additional few weeks to edit your pledge and select your add-ons through Backerkit's Pledge Manager! This will be available for anyone who has backed the project (even if only for £1), and all add-ons purchased this way will still be 1st edition boxes. Hero Packs will also still be available through the Pledge Manager.
And that about wraps it up for this update. I'll be writing another once the counter add-ons are ready, until then take care of yourselves!
