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

And naturally, we had fabulous sugar cookies made for the weekend
See you in the next update!

So, are you ready for some Zenith (Z)updates?
Unlocked Stretch Goals 🧘
Y'all, great job on getting 37 Zenith Points from just the 1st day of funding! 🎊
So far you've already unlocked the following rewards:
That sweet discounted chore jacket is definitely calling your name.
And an immediate stretch goal you can access is the Background Pack!
It's already bustling with activity and there is still so much more to explore. Plus, just newly added is the Board Game Geek Thread for an additional action every day!
Another update, another video. This one is from the lovely people at Good Time Society ☺️
Also, last reminder: 48 Hour Pin Reward will end Oct 31, 2024 at 10:00am CST
Go get your pledges in 🏃
(Yes, $1 pledges will still get a pin if the pledge is later upgraded to a full game in the pledge manager!)
