Well hello there, Mr. Guy fan!
This is a quick reminder that…
Backer surveys are due TOMORROW, November 9!
You can find your personalized survey link in your email inbox, or by clicking here!
Don't worry—you can still complete your survey after the deadline passes. But if you miss that November 9 date, we won't be able to add your name to our thank-you lists in the book and on the website!
We want to be 100% sure to thank as many of you amazing folks as possible, so please get to your survey before end of day tomorrow if you possibly can!
In other news…
We just launched our 12th anthology of gorgeous short comics from diverse creators around the world!
We invite you to check out the Kickstarter page, ogle the stunning art from these 17 short comics, and take a peek at our Kickstarter video (be sure to stay tuned for the bloopers at the end!)
As soon as we meet our minimum goal, we're going to start splitting all the funds up with our contributors, so the more pledges, follows, comments, and shares we get now, the more we can compensate these incredible creators for their work!

Fulfillment Progress
In other news…
We've just completed the FINAL proofread of Mr. Guy: Act 2 - The Hecking Heck of It, which means that as soon as we have all surveys in (by November 9), we'll add that super-awesome thank-you page to the final file and send it off to the printer…and start sending you digital rewards! Wahoo!

In the meantime, check out two other rad campaigns…
We're very excited to announce that we'll soon be launching our Destinations Anthology, featuring a whole gaggle of amazing, diverse creators from around the world. We'd love it if you'd follow the project now, so you'll be the first to know when we launch these 17 short comics about arrivals, endings, and the journeys that brought them there.

And, while the Destinations Anthology waits to launch, one of its astonishingly talented creators, Erin Ptah, is funding Vol. 5 of her incredible comic right now!
Leif & Thorn is an original, LGBTQ-centric, fantasy webcomic, about a magic knight trying to have a romance in his second language. And it just so happens to be created by Erin Ptah, one of the creators whose work will appear in the Destinations Anthology! Read on for more info…
This book picks up with our title characters finally kinda-sorta together! It doesn't make the murder/lockdown/prophecy parts of the plot go any more smoothly, but it sure makes them happy.
All that is interwoven with flashbacks to the early years of Leif's servitude...during the winter when his country was swept with a novel virus epidemic. Good news, everyone here knows how to wear a mask! Bad news, sometimes your employers are vampires.

Two Other Campaigns We Dig…
We're very excited to announce that we'll soon be launching our Destinations Anthology, featuring a whole gaggle of amazing, diverse creators from around the world. We'd love it if you'd follow the project now, so you'll be the first to know when we launch these 17 short comics about arrivals, endings, and the journeys that brought them there.

And, while you wait for the Destinations Anthology to launch, one of its amazing creators, Kamilla Sims, is featured in another anthology that's funding right now!
Fairytales From Mars is an anthology collecting the fables, folklore and, of course, fairytales from the colonies dotting the red planet. It is speculative mythology at its finest and we’re challenging creators to imagine the kind of stories that might emerge when humanity finally starts calling Mars its home. Early children’s stories were morality tales designed to warn against the dangers of their environment, impart a moral lesson, or explain the unexplainable. These stories are handed down from generation to generation and life on Mars will be no different.

Holy Smoke Test, Mr. Guy!

Hey there, Mr. Guy fam!
We're thrilled to report that funds from the Mr. Guy: Acts 1 & 2 campaign have landed in our account, and we are starting to send out surveys today!
First Up: The Smoke Test
We're using BackerKit, a third-party fulfillment aid, to send out surveys. Their system allows for us to send out a smoke test—a small portion of surveys—48 hours ahead of the rest.
That way, we can identify and work out any bugs in our survey system.
That means that just a few of you will get your surveys in the next two days. It would be fabulous if you could complete them (it only takes a few minutes, we promise!) and get them turned in quickly, so we can discover if we need to fix anything up!
Wednesday: All Surveys Out
Once the smoke test wraps up on Wednesday, October 26, we will send out the rest of the surveys to all our amazing backers!
You'll have two weeks to complete your surveys before we finalize our thank-you page on the website and in our comic…and then we're placing orders for the printed comic!
That means you can expect your survey between now and end of day October 26, and we'll need it back from you by end of day on Wednesday, November 9!
What's In a Survey?
Backer surveys are one of the most important parts of the Kickstarter experience!
Surveys only take about three minutes, and your answers are kept 100% confidential using BackerKit's vault-like security.
They help us finalize our item counts, make sure we've got the correct address to send your rewards to, and offer you the opportunity to grab any additional items you like from our BackerKit store!
Add-On Store
If there was an item in the Mr. Guy campaign that you wanted but didn't add to your cart on Kickstarter, now's your chance! Original art by James Groeling, beautiful art prints, commissions by Jayel Draco, minifigs, and more will all be available.
Plus, you'll have access to all of Oneshi Press's other comics, books, theme songs, and merch from other projects and series, like PACK, Tracy Queen, Children of Gaia, and more!
So take a look around when you've finished your survey and add on whatever you'd like!
That's it for now! We'll let you know when most surveys have been sent later this week.
Safe & swift,
—Your friends at Oneshi Press, Lynsey & Jayel
Here's Another Campaign We Love…
DREAMQUEST is a complete, done-in-one tale that expands on Lovecraft's Dream Cycle--imagine Re-Animator meets Dream Warriors.
Between 1918 and 1932, HP Lovecraft wrote a series of stories set in the "Dreamlands." Several of the stories focus on the character of Randolph Carter, who's loosely based on Lovecraft himself. At the end of the Dream Cycle, Randolph has disappeared into the Dreamlands and is desperately trying to return home.
Our story starts with a brand new character of our own invention, Margo Carter, as she is contacted by Randolph in her dreams.

Hello, lovely Mr. Guy fan!
It's a new week! After a weekend spent celebrating the success of Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter, we got to work preparing our BackerKit Preorder store!
It's live right now, so if you have any friends or fam who missed the campaign but want to get in on the sweet rewards you grabbed, you can just tell them to…
Click This Link to Visit the Preorder Store!
If you did back the campaign, you'll be able to order any item you like when you fill out your survey in a few weeks!
Any item…including our brand-new, just-unlocked…
TarMucks: Xtra Dark Roast Coffee
When zombie apocalypse came to Dearth, things got dark—Xtra Dark.
That’s why Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter teamed up with TarMucks Corporate Coffee to make this most apocalyptic of brews.
Sit back with a cup of flavor that’s surprisingly mellow. Because, if you’re going to face down a horde of the un-dead, you might as well enjoy getting caffeinated, first.
TarMucks: Xtra Dark will be available ONLY through our Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter preorder store and backer surveys, so rev your engines…It'll be yours soon!
Safe & swift,
—Your friends at Oneshi Press, Lynsey & Jayel
Here's Another Campaign We Love…
Our pal Ryan Claytor is a cartoonist, a professor, and, apparently, a doodler! He's created a book of mirrored drawings that we absolutely love, and we think you'll be interested to see not only what's inside, but also how Oneshi Press inspired his vision for this campaign, too…
Mirror Drawings is an interactive, meditative, art book of Ryan Claytor's mirrored illustrations.
"Creating these drawings was restorative, weird, and FUN, but my hope is they'll provide a similar experience for YOU TOO! My plan is to print this book on high-quality uncoated paper so that YOU can COLOR them! Or if you'd rather, just allow their odd qualities to wash over you in glorious printed (or digital) form."
