State of Ark 13 Address: BTE Updates


Greetings, Dan here!

Been a little bit, folks, but I have several things to report. First and foremost, layout of the Premium PDF/Print Versions of BTE continues, and soon I will be posting again with a layout preview. In the meantime, everything is looking sleek, and I can't want to share it with everyone. We've gone for a thematic design, but simple for readability. The layout will be consistent between Premium PDF/Print; though, for those that pick up the PDF, there might be an additional easter egg  tucked away in there.

In other news, I am still exploring expanding BTE's offering on more marketplaces. All of our files can currently be picked up on itch.io, and  DriveThruRPG. I am currently exploring opening up on Lulu, Role, and possibly Exalted Funeral. More news on that pending.

Speaking of news, primarily all updates are being posted here on itch.io, and Tumblr. Moving forward, updates will also be posted on the community discord and I'm exploring services for setting up a newsletter. If you have any recommendations for a good service for email newsletters, I'd be very grateful. I just want to get updates to everyone who'd be interested in the most convenient way. I know emails would be a good way to do that, but many of the services are a lot more powerful than I think I need for a simple email list update.

Lastly, I've been debating announcing this since the paid version of BTE has not officially been launched yet, but I just wanted to let everyone know that Cloudshore Games has continued to work on the game even while we wait for final launch. We are currently at work on the first supplement for the game which will contain more Pilot/Mech Options, Rules for Combiner Mechs, Paranormal elements that can be added to the game, and new factions (both employers and enemies of the arks). Currently this supplement is going by the working title of Beneath Twisted Earth: Overdrive. We have not decided on a pay model for Overdrive yet, but likely we will pursue a free vs premium model similar as with the core game.

That's all for today. I want to thank everyone for their continued interest in the game. I would also ask, if you enjoy BTE, and would like to help us out before the Premium/Print versions go live, just leaving a comment on itch.io/DriveThruRPG would go a long way to help passers by know that they're welcome to stop and stay a while. Also feel free to stop by the discord to talk about the game or get clarifications on any rules you may have questions about. Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you at launch!
