Finally.... The Final Light-Year (plus some news)
🕑 Added 2021-03-26 17:29:38 +0000 UTCHey everyone, hope all is well. :)
Here's what we're going to go over in this update.
1) Package Status
2) Death Valley Kickstarter Payment Calculator
3) The Final Light-Year PNP
Package Status
We shipped a ton of packages this week. You'll see the March Packages likely arrive first, then the Light-Year starter kits arrive second. $20+ level will get them together in one package. Some of this may be arriving already. We expect to have just a few days left of shipping, but guess what? All of March will be mailed in March. This feels great and I hope that extends to you as well.
After we wrap these, we start on the missing October packages and missing T-Shirts (these will trickle out over time, sorry they always take forever as we do not stock them regularly here). Those will start to be assembled starting this weekend, and start going out next week. $20+ level: If you haven't filled out the T-Shirt survey, it's here: https://forms.gle/iLBQeCqVdkVJ2xbr6
Death Valley Kickstarter Payment Calculator
If you were having trouble determining your total for Death Valley, a handful of wonderful supporters brainstormed and came up with a way to make a calculator. Ericshead on Discord put this one together and it's working pretty nicely. We'll fancy it up some more for next time, but you might be able to confirm your pledge amount if you were unsure. We hope to use these going forward as well.
https://www.buttonshystuff.com/eric/ks_calc(1).html
Just choose the reward level you want, your patron level and your region. It'll show the $1 base payment that kickstarter requires, and the additional amount needed to pay. Also, keep in mind if you want any Kickstarter add-ons, just choose them separately in checkout. They will automatically add to the total.
The Final Light-Year PNP
While many of you will be receiving this any day, the PNP is now available in our Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4i4xnkhw1kakdjj/AADgomR_xfZNYCPFjO7UxvBNa?dl=0
A few quick notes.
1) The QR link is not active and I hope to activate it when I get home today.
2) There is a cube card in the PNP (and physical version), these are the cubes that you can cut up and use in the game. But it's much easier to use real cubes if you have them. Or anything about that size that's available at your house. My personal preference is 1x1 lego bricks as they are almost the exact same size.
But if you don't have them and want a set of cubes, we setup a set at The Game Crafter. They are $6.99 plus shipping, and we are not really taking any profit on there. These are about .12 over cost, as you have to round up to .99. https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/lightyear-tokens. We will also setup a sweet box that can hold the entire year's content, but it won't be ready for a week. So if you want both and to save on shipping, hang tight for a few days.
If you don't know anything about The Final Light-Year, it's a 1-2 player space series where you will take on enemy after enemy in the hopes of bulking up your ship and crew and defeating the final boss. It's a variable system, so each month we add new enemies, maps, and more and you can mix and match any set to play. With the starter and the first month, you'll have a few options to mix it up already, and it expands quickly from there.
Hope you enjoy it!

Did all of these go out? I haven’t seen my March package or the starter yet.
Marcus Cuellar
When is the box going to be available?
Bart
Same on the box and cubes question?
Michael Hermesmeyer
Definitely interested in cubes and storage. Hopefully an update on that?
Space Hoppity
Great stuff as always. Do we know if there are any spare Personal Space starter kits for purchase yet?
Cody Lenhart
Are the Personal Space starters still being sent?
Mark Fadden
just considering the $ of backing at $10 vs $20 for me is pretty simple. There are at least 8 Button Shy games I either want or want to upgrade from PnP to commercially produced. Which means until there have been enough featured games I don't want to burn all the way through that list I'm on the + side. And while it looks like I want about 50% of feature games, that means it's going to take easily more than a year to even get to a point I have to think about it.

Sorry, could you explain what people should have when starting "The Final Light-Year"? I'm a bit confused what I should have physically. Thanks!
Michael PN
The problem is that this concept isn't explicitly stated in the pledge page nor there is a comparison to both levels, so this makes me consider doing the $20/month instead if I'm gonna go all in on the Button Shy train.
Eugene Meidinger
I do it so I don't have to remember to back every Kickstarter :D
Michael PN
Okay, I can see incentive if you're gonna buy every game per month and subscribe at $20/month rather than $10/month . You're throwing away 2 games + $4 = $24/year. Then again, going PnP for some of the games is okay if you wanna skip some months. Then again, there may be a reprint month so lots to consider at my current level (@ $10 level as of now).

Might need to let your webhost know it's being false flagged? I think the link also has a method of disputing the designation... https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=https://buttonshy.com/
Button Shy
The first link isn't live yet, so that would explain that one, but no idea on the second one

Norton is flagging the link as unsafe. https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=https://buttonshy.com/faq/the_final_lightyear.html&ulang=en

The solution to people's confusion is what made me confused XD
ForestNinja
Thanks! And wow... this is a lot of content on just the Final Light-Year game alone... without even looking at any of the other folders.
Button Shy
The above is correct, although we hope to send them out at about the same time
ForestNinja
Hi Fernando, if I'm understanding your question correctly, what I was told is that Death Valley will eventually be offered as a monthly free wallet game for Patrons at the $20+ levels. But if you want Death Valley as early as possible, you would need to back the kickstarter.
Fernando Costa
"Postcard, More, Extras &Wallet Game(INT)" tier already includes Death Valley, right?
Button Shy
Currently the Dropbox but we will offer extras for sale once March ships out
Ben Terwel
The Dropbox I believe, you can find the link in the introduction/faq post

Hi! I just joined the Patreon a few days ago. How might I acquire Final Light-Year items that I've already missed?
