Hello Cyber-Backers,
A lightning-fast update to show you the test copy of the bonus issue included with your copy of ENHANCED Vol.2.
"...And Justice 4 All!", a 20-page spin-off dedicated to our hacker Andrea, is fresh off the press and looks like a little wonder, thanks in part to the brand-new cover specially created by our graphic artist Manolo Linares. Just a reminder that every physical backer of ENHANCED will receive their copy of the spin-off. Digital backers will receive the digital version.
Progress Update
I'm thrilled to announce that Simone has officially completed the script for ENHANCED Vol.2. This episode boasts a whopping 90 final pages, nearly 50% more than the first installment of our saga. With the inclusion of extras and credits, the full book is set to surpass 100 pages. OH-MY-GOSH. Stefano & Barbara are working hard to transfer everything onto the page. We're really excited about the result, and our hope is that, in every respect, the second volume of ENHANCED will be more MATURE. You want some previews, we imagine...well, here you go!
Chapter 4, Pag 20, Ink+Color
Chapter 4, Pag 10, Ink+Color
Chapter 2, Pag 3, Ink
Shipping Fees / Credit Cards
As promised, we'll wait until the END of April to start charging shipping fees/upgrades on your cards, so be ready! For added security, we'll send a reminder update a few days beforehand.
After successfully charging your credit card, we'll begin distributing the digital copy of Enhanced Vol. 1. This way, every new reader will have the opportunity to start exploring our universe from the beginning.
Hey, do you have some cyber-lover friends that still haven't backed ENHANCED? There's some cool promo on our pre-order store maybe they're interested in! Share the word and let's them join us! HERE the link
Davide Edoardo Cassano, a friend of ours, a cyberpunk lover, and an Italian artist expressing his universe through ink lines and watercolor brush strokes. His entire community has around HALF A MILLION FOLLOWERS.
His Kickstarter campaign "The Art of D.E.C." is doing SOOO well, close to 60K$. The book will not only encapsulate all his best ink and watercolor illustrations (more than 120), but also two short sci-fi comic stories never printed before.
We REALLY suggest taking a look and maybe booking one of those stunning rewards, as we already did! That ArtBook promises big things!
Interested? Check out the campaign HERE, but don't wait, the campaign ends in 48 hours!
See you in the next update!!!
Stay safe, stay Cyberpunk

Hello CyberBackers!
How's the start of the new year treating you? Hopefully well! We have some significant updates regarding surveys, along with the premiere of some exciting new footage!
🚀Woo-Hoo! 88% Completed
BackerKit Surveys were out only for 23 days, and today a whopping 88% of our backers filled in their surveys! Well done! 🥳
As we had already mentioned, we confirm that we'll close the surveys on Feb. 15, 2024, one month after opening them. This is because we're working hard to meet our deadlines and by the end of February we would like to have a pretty realistic estimate of the stuff we have to produce. Softcovers, Hardcovers, Variants, all the add-ons...we really have a huge amount to send to print!
Hurry up and have your orders finalized by that day!
What does that mean? Choose your preferred pledge, confirming the Kickstarter one or choosing to upgrade and add as many add-ons as you want. Apparently the hard work done together with the Backerkit staff has paid off, the Survey is working well and a great many of you have decided to enrich their experience.
We want to remind you that if you do not complete the Survey that Backerkit sent you, we will not be able to send you your reward. So if you still have postponed, please do it now!
After the Pledge Manager closes, you will still be able to update your shipping address before shipping starts. Don't worry if you need the book ship to a different address. We will send a reminder out before shipping starts to update any shipping addresses.
Last Chance to UPGRADE your pledge and and grab exclusive add-ons
Inside the survey, you will have the Last Chance to UPGRADE your pledge and and grab exclusive add-ons and unique items. These limited-time discounted Kickstarter prices won't be available again!
Top-rated UPGRADE choices ⬆️
