Hey gang!

Now that we're over a week in, things are calming down here a tiny bit at Avantris, but we're not close to done yet! Here's a quick update!

All Species and Subclasses Unlocked! 

You all have been SMASHING Stretch Goals faster than we ever could have anticipated, and the unlocks just keep coming! And now with the Cygnian Species and Supersprite Enforcer Subclass unlocked, we have unlocked ALL species and subclasses for Neon Odyssey!

That brings the final count to 42 Species and 52 Subclasses, so you have tons of options to create the Space Opera Hero that fulfills your player fantasy! There should be something for everyone in this galaxy! To see the full list and all of the art of these options, Join the Neon Odyssey Discord Serverand check out the Sneak Peeks & Info Database channels!

New Max Cruise Music at $10 Million!

We've already unlocked an album of atmospheric music, and if as we March to $10 Million, the next stretch goal is a whole NEW album with exciting Combat Music! 

The music for these two albums will be be composed by the amazing Max Cruise, who has been an amazing partner with us for years, first composing the theme song to our Stardust Rhapsody campaign, "Hank!". He also has already composed two Neon Odyssey tracks, "Among the Stars," and "Waltz for Eternity." Check them out (along with awesome animation) below! 

Project We Love: Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG 

The Legends of Avantris crew are HUGE fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, so we were thrilled when our friends at Renegade Game Studios launched their record-breaking Backerkit campaign for the official Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG, which is in its FINAL HOURS!

You can enter your very own World Dungeon and play with familiar faces like Carl and Princess Donut or build your own Crawler with tons of options for Races, Classes, Backgrounds, and Skills! And along with the TTRPG, there's a bunch of cool products like Dice Sets, Miniatures and more!

But time is running out! As of this post, there's less than 24 hours to go, so make sure you back the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG on Backerkit now! 

Less Than Three Weeks to Go!

It feels like we've passed our first week in the blink of an eye, but we still have a lot of campaign left! As we head into the middle of the Kickstarter, I want to say that everyone at Avantris truly appreciates all of the support for this campaign. Thanks for joining us in space!

Hey all,

I'm back again for a quick, but important update! 

Early Backer Dice Extension!

Over the past 3 days, we've received many emails from people around the world who were running into technical issues, unable to back at certain tiers, pledge for certain add-ons, add their payment card, or even complete their pledge. Since then, we've been working closely with Kickstarter's team to diagnose and solve these issues, and we finally got confirmation last night that they have all been fixed! 

So to ensure that no one who experienced these technical difficulties misses out on the offer, we have extended the Early Backer Dice by an additional 72 hours! As long as you back by 10am ET on Monday, May 11th and your pledge includes anything physical, you will receive the Free set of Synth Sunset Dice! 

If you are one of the individuals who experienced these technical difficulties and are still running into problems, please contact Kickstarter Support, and send us an email at [email protected]!

Neon Odyssey Is Streaming on Music Platforms!

At long last, the brand new single Neon Odyssey by The Midnight is out now! You can listen to it on the music streaming platform of your choice! This song was a labor of love by everyone involved, and we're extremely proud with how it turned out. Feel free to listen on repeat! I know I am!

Neon Odyssey Is Funded! We Hit $2.25 Million in an Hour! New Music Video Featuring the Midnight!
about 1 month ago – Tue, May 05, 2026 at 09:16:55 AM

Hey all,

Mikey here! I'm typing this as we are live on stream right now, but I am thrilled to kick off our very first update after launch! Let's dive right in.

Neon Odyssey Hit $2.25 Million in an Hour!

Wow. We did it, folks. We crashed Kickstarter. 

We are beyond speechless. Thank you all so much for all of the incredible support. We cannot begin to describe what an emotional rollercoaster this entire 2+ year voyage has been. 

Back in October 2023, we launched our first Kickstarter, The Crooked Moon, and hit $1 Million in 6.5 hours. This time around, we smashed that record and hit $1 Million in under 20 minutes. And as of writing this, we are approaching $3 Million in over 2 hours. To say this is surreal is an understatement.

None of us could have foreseen this when we first started this journey of striving to achieve our dreams of making games back in 2022. Since then, our lives have completely changed and we have learned multiple lifetimes of lessons about tabletop publishing that we're applying to make the best possible Space Opera trilogy that we can.

Fully Animated Music Video Featuring the Midnight

We're absolutely thrilled to announce that we partnered with our favorite band in the world, The Midnight, to create an anthem for Neon Odyssey. We also partnered with DoigSwift and Knights of the Light Table to turn that anthem into a beautifully animated music video that was more than two years in the making!

Please enjoy this music video, and we would always appreciate your help with the algorithm! You can watch the whole thing, like the video, leave a comment, and share with youre friends and family. Thanks so much! 

More to Come!

The Kickstarter is JUST beginning and we're already SMASHING through stretch goals! Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to climb. Until next time!
