A note from Jake, Tamas and Ben discussing their recent occupation with work "on Act IV, and secret distractions." They mention a 50% sale of the game on [http://store.steampowered.com/app/231200/ Steam], and that sales like these are often a "potent draw for an audience who may not otherwise give our weird little game a second thought," and that they appreciate fans sharing the link online or with friends, etc.
  
Hi y'all! We hope September days are kind to you. Ours are occupied by work on Act IV, and secret distractions. We're writing to ask your help spreading the word about a sale, and to share some new and old printable artwork with you.

They also mention that they often get asked about making and selling prints/posters of the game, which they eventually plan to do, but for now are sharing high-resolution artwork which fans can print at home if desired. The following three prints were originally created for the opening exhibition of Chicago's [http://videogameartgallery.com/ VGA Gallery], with assistance from Aron Gent of [http://documentspace.org/category/gallery/ Document]:
 
 
=== Steam sale ===
 
 
 
KRZ is [http://store.steampowered.com/app/231200/ on sale for 50% off at Steam right now], until Thursday morning. These sales can be a potent draw for an audience who may not otherwise give our weird little game a second thought, so we appreciate you sharing the link around online, with friends over spirits, on restroom walls, etc. Here's that link: http://store.steampowered.com/app/231200/
 
 
 
=== Printable artwork ===
 
 
 
We're often asked about making & selling prints & posters of the game. That's something we still hope to do at some point, but for now we're sticking to sharing high-res printable artwork via this newsletter for you to print yourself if you like. Here are a few:
 
 
 
Tamas prepared these three images for the opening exhibition of Chicago's [http://videogameartgallery.com/ VGA gallery], and Aron Gent of [http://documentspace.org/category/gallery/ Document] made high-quality prints for display and sale. We wanted to work with VGA & Aron to have some really nicely-made prints available, but didn't want the only publicly-available KRZ prints to be as expensive as these ones needed to be, so we decided not to let them be sold them online. Instead, the Gent prints are sold only in-gallery at VGA, and we're sharing the high-res, printable digital artwork with you here. (Note: We've shared the second image here, the Act 2 forest print, as part of an earlier newsletter.)

These next four images were created and printed as backer rewards during our Kickstarter drive, but we're not sure if we ever shared the full print-resolution digital artwork. Some of the imagery may still be familiar to those of you who've joined us since!
