Thank you to everyone who submitted an idea for our community card pack! 💖 We really enjoyed reading all of your creative ideas and have carefully selected our top picks.
There are 3 objective cards and 2 task cards per season in the community card pack (15 total), and it will be included with every Tend pledge/late pledge!
From Dec 6 to Dec 8, we'll be at PAXU in Philadelphia, PA!
If you happen to be attending, we'd love to meet you at our booth (#2221). We'll be running live demo games of Tend and other IV games like Moonrollers and Mythic Mischief Volume 2.
Plus, come sign our guest book and get free goodies (pins, stickers, and patches)!
Our tables in the demo area will also be running games!
Updated Task Leaderboards 🏅
Now that the community farm has closed, we have the final standings for Task Leaders as of Nov 15 (5:00 PM CST) when the campaign closed. We appreciate everyone for your community engagement!

That's a wrap folks. Thank you so much for your support! 💖
We successfully finished the first mission of the TEND initiative and we couldn't have done it without you 🫵
Truly, we always appreciate your support and hope you have enjoyed the content we've created for the Tend universe. We're excited to finish working on the final details of the game so we can get it delivered to you as soon as possible!
We'll keep you in the loop every month with a Kickstarter update about the progress of the project.
Here's our general timeline for Tend:
And yes, there will be more missions (content) coming in the future 🤭
Community Farm: End of Season 🍂
It's been really enjoyable watching y'all come together to explore the land and water each others' crops. Very neighborly and supportive, just like our wonderful Kickstarter community! 🫶
But unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and with the changing seasons, the farm will be closing its fields and returning to its natural state.
Take a look at how amazing the farm grew to be in just 3 weeks! The coordination to give the skull buddy a little body was top tier 🤌
All Community Cards Unlocked 🔓
We were deeply moved by your dedication to completing the mining badge on the community farm, even after the campaign ended! Especially the collective quest for more orange rock butter (no that is not an official name...yet 😆)
orange rock butter for reference
So we've decided to unlock the last Season 3 Objective community card as a sign of our appreciation for your participation in our community farm!
This means the community card pack is complete and all you need do now, is to vote on which cards you want to see in your game! We'll send another update in the future with the selected community cards to vote for.
The Community Pack will be included with every Tend game bought on this campaign/late pledge!
BackerKit Pledge Manager will open on Dec 11, 2024 ❄️
We will open the pledge manager in mid-December to collect your shipping information and allow for any last minute order changes. The pledge manager survey MUST BE COMPLETED in order to receive your pledge, so please do not forget to check your email for the Tend updates and BackerKit pledge manager invite.
If you are new to crowdfunding, no worries! Right before the pledge manager is live, we will send an update with more instructions and information about the pledge manager process.
Here are some of the things you'll be able to do in the pledge manager once it opens:
Add additional copies of Tend to your order
Switch your pledge level
Select the French or German language editions
Select your Tend Jacket size
Add more add-ons from Tend
Add other IV Studio games, such as Moonrollers, Mythic Mischief Vol 2, and Fractured Sky.
Late Pledge will open next week 👐

We plan to open late pledges by next week before the Thanksgiving holiday and the link will become available soon!
Speaking of the holidays, we have a special sale going right now.

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!

Austin has already done his part and scored 183 points. What will you score?

It is now available on the Kickstarter as an add-on! The size will be chosen in the pledge manager.
