RAGS 10 Status Update: New Year, New Beginnings

Happy New Year Everyone! It's my birthday today (11 hours ahead), and I've been fortunate enough to have a rare day off. While I'm enjoying some personal time, I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting updates with all of you. 

First and foremost, I'm thrilled to announce that RAGS 10 is officially completed and is currently on its way to the printer. I can't wait for you all to get your hands on it and dive into the latest chapter of the RAGS saga. But that's not all – there's more to look forward to. 

The Bonus Story of "Mister Lister Sister Fister" is currently in the process of being drawn and is expected to be finished soon. As soon as it's ready, I'll be adding it to our Patreon rewards, so keep an eye out for that exclusive content.

 Additionally, we'll be working on the compilation of volumes 8-10 to catch everyone up on the story. There's some cover work to be done and some exciting bonus material to include, so stay tuned for that as well. 

Now, I want to address some important news regarding Luigi, our talented artist. Last year has been a rollercoaster for us, and we're still sorting out some uncertainties regarding his position. To ensure that we can continue delivering the RAGS story to you without delay, we've decided to bring another artist on board temporarily. Rest assured, we'll welcome Luigi back with open arms whenever he's ready to return or clarify his situation. 

To make up for any lost time and revenue during this transition, we're planning to launch both an Indiegogo (IGG) and a Kickstarter campaign in the near future. This will allow us to keep the RAGS project moving forward while we work through these changes. I'll be brainstorming and strategizing to make these campaigns a success, and I'm hopeful that we can make significant progress before I return state-side at the end of April. I'll be sure to keep you all updated on our progress and plans.

 I want to express my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for standing by us during this challenging time. Your support means the world to us, and we're committed to bringing you the best RAGS experience possible. Stay tuned for more updates, and let's make 2024 an incredible year for RAGS together!
