Latest Updates from Our Project:

Important announcment for all backers
8 months ago – Tue, Sep 19, 2023 at 10:51:44 AM

Dear Hopeless Kickstarter Backers,

Unfortunately, we are sad to announce that the Hopeless crew has decided to cancel the Kickstarter production of the book. After artwork for only two pages have been produced in 2023, a plethora of broken promises, and repeated failed attempts to create an honest dialogue  about finding a production solution, it has become clear that the artist of Hopeless has no intention of completing the project.

We are honored by everyone that took a chance on this potentially wonderful book, and are saddened to have to terminate it. In the coming weeks, we’ll be contacting every single backer to rectify this situation.  Zach and Clara have been working on completing the artwork for our  respective Kickstarter tiers, and will be mailing those remaining out to their owners, as well.

Thank you for your patience, and again, we’ll be contacting each individual backer to get this remedied.  We’ll be working through the list in chunks, so this  will take a few weeks to get through everyone, but we’ll be contacting backers ASAP.

Sincerely,

Zach, Mike, and Clara

Hello all, and sorry for the short delay! A new batch of pages is pending from Danny and here's a teaser--a bit of violence is breaking out in the world of Hopeless. In the meantime, Zach and Clara are wrapping up art commissions for backers.
