You can view the full selection of dakimakura, tapestries, and keychains on our website, http://solpress.co/projects/newton/. Simply scroll to the bottom and find the “Goods” section to view some of the wonderful add-ons you can get.

In other exciting news, we’ve reached 1,000 backers! We can’t thank you all enough for your continued support, it means the world to us and we’re ecstatic that so many of you are onboard for the English release of Newton and the Apple Tree!

We're also super close to the third stretch goal, which is Ilsa's side story! As of this post, we're just $1,219 away, and quickly approaching.

We hope you’re as thrilled about the game (and the add-ons) as we are! We’ll see you at the end of the Kickstarter, if not sooner!

Newton AMA Tomorrow!

Hey there, everyone! 

It’s time for another update, and this time we’ve got a surprise announcement for you as well! First, our announcement:

On December 19 at 9:00 PM PST, or December 20 at 5 AM UTC, there will be an ask me anything (AMA) with Sol Press and Laplacian on /r/visualnovels on Reddit! Feel free to drop by and ask us whatever’s on your mind, we’ll answer as many questions as we can to the best of our ability! We hope to see you there!

Now then, on to the status update. We’ve begun work on the rest of the game, translation is ongoing and has extended beyond the demo version. The demo version has received a few changes to spruce it up a bit, as well as any changes necessary for the full version. We’ve got TBAC in charge of ensuring the translation quality is up to par, so rest assured that you’ll be getting the best product you can.

We’re also working towards our next stretch goal, we’re only about $7,000 away! This one is a side story for Ilsa, a character you won’t know from the demo. That said, she’s a fairly important character in the story, one who’s just as fun and quirky as the rest. Beyond that, we’ve got the Yotsuko after story and some hidden stretch goals that will be revealed as we get closer to them, so please look forward to them!

Thank you all for your incredible support, we look forward to the rest of this Kickstarter campaign and hope to see you all at our Reddit AMA!

Stretch goal three is the Isla side story light novel. Just like with Lavi's after story, this light novel will also include three colored illustrations and ten monotone illustrations. We're super excited to start working towards this goal, and we hope you guys are as well!

The best way you can help guarantee this goal is by spreading the word and getting more people interested! We have a Thunderclap currently underway, but that doesn't mean you need to wait for it! Directly messaging your friends who are interested in the same content is one of the most effective forms of generating support! 

Thank you, everyone! Hopefully, we'll be able to announce the completion of the third stretch goal soon!
