Do you miss seeing our faces? (Honestly, probably not 😆)
Well don't worry, because in just 3 hours, we're hosting a livestream for the last few hours of the Tend campaign! It'll just be Zac and Lilly but we promise to make it a fun time 🤭
Join us at 3:30 pm CST for the F̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶r̶s̶ Lilly and Friends Livestream 🫶
Stretch Goals 🙆
We're currently at 86 Zenith points and oh so close to unlocking the final community card!
To get the last card unlocked, y'all just need to earn 4 more Zenith points!
To do that, the campaign will need to reach $750,000 in funding OR we can have one final push for the mining and chopping badges on the community farm.
Being a good neighbor and helping everyone get more cards-- It's a win-win!

Hello! Thank you so much for $600,000! With so many new pioneers joining the TEND Initiative, we just want to take a little time to let you know how much we appreciate you and your support for our vision.
Remember, you are a star, ready to S.H.I.N.E. ✨

New Mission 🔊
Zenith just dropped a new challenge for especially ambitious pioneers.
They've been speculating about the diversity of crop species on the planet and need your help with their exploratory research 🔬
In this game of TEND, please providea sample of each crop type in your cargo manifestwhilealsoachieving the seasoned explorer badge 🍍🍇🎃
Austin has already done his part and scored 183 points. What will you score?
We just added to the campaign a 6 pack of black markers for all of your writing needs. This will also be available in the pledge manager!
The box art will be different on the final product; this is just a sample render! (or is it 🤨)
Thank you Ali Glidden for mentioning this :)

Community Farm and Task Leader Update 🌱

Hi. Welcome back to the Tend Initiative 👋
Since our last update, the Community Farm has been fully explored!
Great job exploring all of the nooks and crannies! 🗺️ The hidden cave entrances and graveyard were our favorite features to watch y'all discover the past few days.
Here's an impressive comparison of the community farm from Oct 30 to today:
Of course, this means you got a bunch of new stretch goals after earning 71 Zenith points!
You achieved the discounted chore jacket and don't worry, we'll post a picture of it modeled soon so you can see the sample before the pledge manager opens 🧥
Next up are the 10 guest influencer challenges and you're only 4 Zenith points away so get to tasking on the farm 😉
Speaking of tasks, there are task leaderboards!
Task Leaders 💪
Not to be creepy, but Zenith is tracking each of your actions and plans to reward you handsomely for your hard work. Show your passion for the colony and you shall receive credit where credit's due.
The current standings are as listed:
Want to get in on this? Here's how!
Pioneer Badge 🎖️
The Pioneer Badge may seem intimidating, but your contribution to multiple sites for task actions all count as a different user.
Also, our apologies for the pinned Community Farm thread on the Kickstarter Comments page flooding everyone's email with other's responses. We didn't realize the unintended consequences until just now and apologize for the inconvenience to those affected!
The comment has now been unpinned, releasing those poor pioneers from a constant barrage of emails 🫡
Accessibility Design Change ✏️
We recently played Tend using a black and white printout copy and discovered a feature that we'd like to adjust.
The two different blueprints were initially identical in design besides their color, which we discovered may not be the most user friendly design.
We've since changed the icon design to show more clearly they are different items besides just a color difference. We hope this small change will make the game more accessible to a wider range of people! 😊
TN Game Days 🎲
The IV Team was attending Tennessee Game Days Fall this past weekend, hence our absence the past few days-- we hope you didn't miss us too much. We had a blast playing games with our community members, hosting a Tend party at our office, and demoing Tend at the convention!
If you're ever interested in meeting the IV Team, playing games with us, and touring our studio all in one weekend, make sure to add TN Game Days Spring to your calendars!
Here are just some snapshots from our weekend:
IV Team and Discord Mods at TGD
Big ole Tend Party ft. a well crafted pumpkin from Scotsman1552
And naturally, we had fabulous sugar cookies made for the weekend
