Castalia House editor and Alt★Hero writer Vox Day recently revealed a new peak into the world of Alt★Hero, including news of a second title: “First, we’re going to make a few changes to how we’re structuring the Alt★Hero stories.

Thanks to the fourth Hero backer, the Alt★Hero campaign is now rapidly approaching the landmark $100k level that less than one percent of all kickstarted campaigns ever reach. In the meantime, someone had better tell Jon Del Arroz to get cracking.

We’re now less than three thousand away from reaching Stretch Goal 3, which triggers the production of Volume VI. This means that all three initial stories will […]

Thank you, Alt★Hero backers! It looks as if we will not be needing to hold a vote on which of the first three volumes will be continued, but we will see how things proceed from here. At this point, the video producer may need to start thinking about voice talent. And we will hold a […]

Alt★Hero has unlocked its first stretch goal, a fourth volume of the ambitious comic book, on its first day of fundraising. As promised, we’ve added a second page to Dynamique’s story. Check it out on the campaign page. Check back every day for new pages, character sketches, and quite possibly, new rewards and stretch goals.
