A Question

Hi,
I hope you're well.
I had one of the full-page illustrations animated as a gif (see below). I was hoping to add this into the PDF versions, but Adobe said no. I tried adding as a video (both mp4 and mov) and it still said no. Actually, it kept crashing or displaying a black box.
I thought I'd send an update out in case anyone has had more experience than me in how to do this?
Each animation costs me money, so I'll only do it if there's a good solution.
If you'd like to tinker, here is the image in the different versions.

Thank you and New Hyper-Linked Digital Version!

Hi,
I hope you're keeping well.
Thank you so much for supporting Innsmouth: The Stolen Child. We've hit our funding goal and then some!
I'm formulating some stretch goals now, which will likely consist of being able to add some more images in the first instance.
Hyper-linked Digital Version
After receiving feedback from a backer, I've added a new digital reward tier and add-on for a hyper-linked digital version of the book. This is more expensive and has a slightly longer delivery date due to the extra work involved.
If you're a digital backer, take a look, as I'm sure it'll save some screen-scrolling!
Social Sharing
If you have a moment, it'd be great if you could use the sharing links provided by Kickstarter on the campaign page to share to your social media - the more we spread the word, the more stretch goals we can add.
If you can add @bluefoxcomics in your shares, hopefully they'll show up on our radar too!
Thank you for your time!
Speak soon and stay safe,
Simon
First 4 Stretch Goals

Hi,
Below are the first 4 stretch goals! As mentioned in the previous update, they're all image based, and they are also all unlocked!
This will take the full page images from 20 to 30, and pretty much doubling the number of section separator images.
A large part of a gamebook (for me) is all the art inside, and I'm so pleased to be able to add more to the book. The other great thing about having extra images is both the digital and physical backers will benefit.
I'll be speaking to the printer about more extras. Would a ribbon be a useful addition to the hardback?
Let me know your thoughts.
Speak soon,
Simon
Early-bird Hyper-Invisible Ink!

Hi,
Updates are like buses... none for days and then 3 at once!
We've now added an early-bird invisible ink reward tier and add-on which will run until August 17th 11.59pm BST.
This means you can upgrade your early-bird PDF for this one, if you wish to.
Apologies - I should have thought this through before, but every day's a school day!
Speak soon and stay safe,
Simon
