Hello apples,
Your game will now come with the smooth stylings of Jenn Ellis and Keith Baker. I hope cats and dogs are involved. Next up: two stretch goals!
You can have a card of prompts from the mind of Jordan Draper if THIS TWEET gets 50 retweets. Just that easy!
I met Jordan at Essen 2017 and in a few years, he has become a good friend. We've worked on one game together with Lay Waste Games (METAL) and I'm so damn happy he might be part of Pineapple too! His talents are limitless and his imagination wildly unique. I am always in awe of his abilities from tiny vending machines to tiny washing machines. We might just make his card extra small out of pure respect.
I've wanted to work with Eric for years now, yet nothing has come to fruition. So instead, I made a game and thankfully he said yes to guest designing a card! His games can be incredibly fun and interactive like MonsDRAWsity, or wildly dark and deal with survivors guilt from the Titanic. I know he will bring that energy to Pineapple in some amazing way.
Thank you all for your nonstop support. It means everything to me. Only a few weeks left!

Hello apples,
Your game is going to be a whole lot more fantastic now that you've unlocked Matt Fantastic! Woo! And now...two people?!
STRETCH GOAL #6
Two is better than one, at least when you're talking about Jenn and Keith, the Twogether Studios duo, creators of some amazingly fun games. Most recently, The Adventure Zone, which can be preordered right now but only 17 hours remain! Their ability to craft storytelling games is top of the industry, along with their personalities and kindness. I'm always happy to see one of them at a show, but seeing both is better. Now let's get their combined talents onto a card!
Thank you all for your support and interest in my weird game!

I need your thoughts on what to do next...

Hey apples,
Apparently you all love gold metal pineapples so much that they are now gone. GREAT JOB! But I have a problem. I want more people to get MORE METAL!!! It's kind of my thing. But there are two options and I CAN do both if there is support in the comments.
- Offer 100 Gold Pine-Apples. This would simply be a gold apple with a hole in it, along with a fake pine branch if I can find them that you stick in the hole. Or I just buy a fake tree and chop it up. Or you have to find your own branch. Which would make them a gold apple pine holder?? They would be their own pledge tier and everyone could switch to it if they wish.
- Offer Pine-Apple pins. These would be unlimited and an add-on for somewhere between $6-10, depending on the complexity of the pin. They would be available in the pledge manager post campaign.
I like both options personally. But I want your thoughts before going down any paths. The 100 Gold Pine-Apples would open up now, and the pins I would likely announce later.
So...thoughts? Post a comment here.

Hello apples,
Aaaaaand you've unlocked a wild wizard in Adam Koebel! He shant disappoint. Now...who is next??
STRETCH GOAL #5
Matt is one of the first people I met in the games industry and he passed on a wealth of information that I would have been lost without. He is a massively talented game designer, an unbelievable story teller, and an even better friend. If unlocked, I can assure you all his questions will be super thoughtful, creative, and have his unique flair all over 'em. Just you wait!
Btw, this is update is a tad delayed because I was out all day hiking with our adorable new puppy!
His name is Quint (we have two cats named Brody and Hooper) and he is 12 weeks. We got him 4 weeks ago and he has been a handful. But so cute! Be mad at him for the delay. If you can. (Hint: You can't)

Hello apples,
Well that was quick. Emma Larkins is now on board and her prompts on a card! Let's keep moving.
STRETCH GOAL #4
While I don't recall when I met Adam Koebel, the first time I experienced his majesty was at Gen Con 2018 when I was part of a streamed Dungeon World session entitled Once More Unto the Dungeon World. He turned me into a damn slug! Regardless, his story telling and crafting abilities are known and loved by many, and now you can have a slice of his talents inside Pineapple. Just make sure he doesn't turn you into a slug. He might try.
Maybe I shouldn't thank you all for backing in every update. Nah. That's a bad idea. Thank you!
🌲🍎Jon
