In this 3-11 person card game, ask deep questions, get weird, get awkward, and find some liars.
Hello apples!
Graphic design has been moving forward, though very slowly. In order speed up the timeline, I'm shifting graphic designers for the remaining work. Also, I'm heading to the caster in Providence tomorrow to see some pineapples! Once I have more to show, I most certainly will :)

Hello apples!
I just received the master models for the metal pineapples and they are absolutely adorable.
Within the next few weeks, these will be sunk into rubber molds, and the casting process will begin! I may cast up some more in various finishes, but let's see how the gold pineapples come out first.
Slowly but surely getting closer to the final product!

Hello apples!
Things are progressing, albeit slower than desired, as is life during a pandemic. Given the uncertainty of precisely when the game will be shipping, BackerKit surveys will be sent once production has started. This will allow for the most accurate shipping prices. Stay tuned on this front.
Here is the look I'm going with for the guest designer cards!
And for those receiving a metal pineapple, the design has to be switched up a tad to accommodate for the casting process. I didn't want people getting broken leaves!
Bag color, depending on final look of the front sticker, is very likely going to be black. If I can find a color that matches Heather Vaughan's color choices, we may go with that, but it might not be possible.

Hello apples,
We're still waiting on a few more guest designers to drop me their prompts, which is holding up the process a tad. But the graphic design is progressing nonetheless. I felt the word mark on the Kickstarter was too messy, so this was made!
Still needs some adjusting, but a bit more playful and clear which I like.
The rules are nearly finish, thanks to both my good friend Matt Fantastic and Travis Hill. Both are helping me stumble through this process, and I would be lost without them! Travis actually just launched his own campaign for a zine of mostly-solo RPGs. Link below and definitely worth a glance. Once I have some more lovely Pineapple stuff to show off, you will be the first to see it!

whenHello apples!
What have I been up to? I'm chasing down guest designers! No fault to them, as the world is all over the place as I'm sure you know. Want to make sure I'm not pressuring them too much but I'm confident all their prompts will be in this week. Once that is complete, the graphic designer can wrap up her work.
Oh yes. Here is your first taste of what the wildly talented guest designers have in store. I won't name who wrote what, but I want everyone to know the type of game that is coming.
This is just 5 of the 70+ prompts that will be in the game. So get ready!
The graphic designer is also still working on a new Pineapple word mark. What I put in the campaign was very much a placeholder and I want it to be cleaner. Also, the graphic designer and I have narrowed down the bag color to two options. Choosing this week!
I've been holding off on sending out the BackerKit because shipping prices are a bit weird with COVID delays and I'm trying to make sure what I charge is the cost. Apologies for the delay there!
A lot should be happening over the next few weeks as things slowly ramp back up with manufacturing companies safely going back to work. Example, both the pin and metal manufacturers have been closed for over a month now.
Thank you all for your patience during these weird times. Stay safe, stay strong, and play some games to relax.
