How Kingdoms Of The Dump Kickstarter Came From Earthbound Fan Project
After trying their hands at an Earthbound fan game, these indie devs decided to make a much more grown-up JRPG-inspired original work.

The Kickstarter for our next anthology, Wild and Full of Marvels: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Folklore and Fairy Tales, launched yesterday, and we’re already almost 50% funded and a “Project We Love”! Check out the campaign and see what all the fuss is about: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...
A banner with text that reads Wild and Full of Marvels Queer Fanworks Inspired by Folklore and Fairy Tales. Beside this is a book cover of a book with the same title as that text, with artwork showing two women, one a light skinned mermaid adjusting her hair and waving, the other a darker skinned fisherwoman exchanging a flirty look with the mermaid. In the upper right hand corner of the banner is a circular badge that says PROJECT WE LOVE KICKSTARTER, and the Duck Prints Press logo is in the lower left corner.

Thrilled to share the spectacular cover artwork done by Jinx Inks (linktr.ee/art.jinxinks) for our forthcoming anthology WILD AND FULL OF MARVELS: QUEER FANWORKS INSPIRED BY FOLKLORE AND FAIRY TALES. Kickstarting July 8! Follow our pre-launch page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...
The cover of a book entitled Wild and Full of Marvels: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Folklore and Fairy Tales. It features an elaborate, fantasy-sinpired border in shades of blue and green, with fairies lifting a gauzy veil to reveal a fantasy scene below of a white mermaid with blonde hair drawing her hair back to reveal her bare torso and curve of her back, which segues into a pink-purple mermaid tail. In the foreground is a slim, muscular darker-skinned woman with long black hair in a braid held back by a bandana. She wears simple clothes and stands knee-deep in the water, and is pulling on a rope as if to tow in something not in view. Her gaze meets that of the mermaid, who raises a hand with webs between the fingers in an inviting beckon.
Wrap-around cover art for the anthology Wild and Full of Marvels. The back-cover section features a blue border of fantasy elements, encircling a merperson's tail wrapped in a fisher's net emerging from the water. There is room for text at the top, but no text currently. The spine features a hand lifting a wand and is otherwise blank. The front cover has an elaborate border in blue, showing fairies lifting gauzy curtains to reveal the scene beneath, a white mermaid with webbed fingers lifting her hair to show her bare back and purple-pink tail as she sits on a rock; in the foreground, a medium-skin-toned fisherwoman with black hair held back by a bandana pulls her net while meeting the gaze of the mermaid.

That's not what happened. He didn't even know the show existed or that it was cancelled. The executives under him were worried about what he might think of the show, so they cancelled it.
