“Will the Fran Bow plushie come back?”
“I missed the campaign for the Fran Bow plushie!”
The community has spoken!
With the help of Makeships time machine, Fran Bow plushie has traveled through time. And is now back for another limited-time campaign and is 200% ready for snuggles!

The second edition plushie will have a small marking to differentiate it from the first edition. The marking will state the plushie as a second-edition production. The design of the plushie is the same as the first edition.

How the campaign works:

• Makeship launches the campaign on their site.
  
• During a limited time, the fans can support the campaign.
  
• If the campaign gets 100% funded, the plushie is guaranteed for production but if a campaign doesn't reach 100% during the campaign time, the supporters get their money back.

Support the campaign in the hopes of getting your own Fran Bow plushie.

After the campaign ends, the plushies will not be available for purchase.

Your support means the world to us, and we can't wait to see the plushies finding new homes and bringing joy to fans worldwide. Let's make this campaign a fantastic success together!

Peace and love, out happy!

THE END OF THE STORY
By Nati Martinsson.

Killmonday Games started with the idea of achieving creative freedom in the form of video games. Interactive experiences that would explore life in-itself, and with it play and the whole range of feelings.
As you know, we have released two games, Fran Bow and Little Misfortune, giving us economic freedom. 
After the release of Little Misfortune, we wanted to expand the company, from being two people, Isak and I, to a larger team, so we could release something more complex. 
The journey into expanding the company was incredibly scary and difficult, as none of us had previous experience being company owners and for that matter, bosses. We just wanted to create!

Details from the project "Benjamin Game"

To make possible the goal of expanding the company to later create more complex games, Isak and I got to take the role of “boss” and start guiding others to understand our vision. But things were not as expected. There were a lot of Human Resources matters to attend. With more people we needed better communication skills. We needed to understand how to delegate and how to navigate the everyday with feedback, guidance and creativity.

I saw the need to study, to gain insights on how things could be done. I read several books about company building, management systems and how to be a better leader. I attended a few courses in leadership both digitally and on sight. All of this, while also keeping an eye on the team as individuals, guiding the game projects we were creating and managing the Killmonday Shop.

Details from the project "Fran Bow 2"

My body was becoming a sad, angry, resentful husk, as I got less and less help from my partner, as the system to drive the company became more complex. 

Isak was withdrawing from the responsibility as the stress was eating him alive. And indeed, I have no idea how I kept carrying this goal forward for so long myself. I was tired and saw no meaning in a lot of things I was doing, but it was for the “greater good”. The bigger game! While I was getting sicker and sicker. And this is due to my incapability to ask for help, open up and show myself vulnerable. I wasn’t able to ask for the right support and I was being a people pleaser with my employees. *Side note: This made them respect me less and less.

We did achieve a lot of things during this period, though, but my energy wasn’t keeping up and it wasn’t sustainable. And many of the projects weren’t completed either.

Details from Fran Bow Chapter 6 I was focused on achieving, to feel more secure about myself, my worth. To feel more loved or accepted. And it shames me to realize this now. It is a valuable experience for future endeavors. I’m already worthy and my skills mirror the experiences at this moment in time. I can’t be more nor less. And my creativity moves with me. 

It took a few trials of canceled games, before we could finally realize; we can’t keep doing this. It’s making us miserable. It’s eating the creative soul of our beings.

We haven’t been able to release or stick to one project for 4 years now. 
We have been sharing with our fans news about the Benjamin game, about a Fran Bow DLC and Fran Bow 2. We did work on all of these projects, believing this was what we could do together, but we always came to a point where things didn’t go where they needed to. 
The latest project we got to cancel was coming along good. Until we realized if we do this we’re gonna go broke. 

This year ends with us needing to let people go. To take a step back and heal the physical and emotional wounds of burnup and resentment. This year ends the story of expansion, as a traditional company, with employees.
We do need the help of others, but we will take the approach that has worked for us before; freelancers. Yeah!  

Collaboration with freelancers for Fran Bow Chapter 6 minigames We have decided with Isak to let go of the idea of traditional company building. And refocus on the meaningful stories that we envision and we are eager to redefine and re-discover our creative nature. 

We are getting there, little by little, and as time is a layered reality, we know we will make it. But we don’t know how or when yet. I know there is a little lady and a tall skeleton in a tophat taking good care of us.

This year we were able to release Fran Bow on consoles and that was a great achievement. We also got the opportunity to work with Makeship and release really cute plushies of our beloved characters. 
This year was about realizing who one really is and accepting it and loving it, is the biggest achievement yet, personally at least. 

Now we are 3 beings working at Killmonday, Isak, Linda and I… We have become the triangle at last. 
Thank you for being part of our journey and taking your time to read. Please reach out if you have any questions! 

Happy times, many hugs and love,
yours truly, Nati

For a long time, many of you have asked if we ever are going to do figurines of Fran Bow! And now this dream could become a reality!

As we previously worked with Makeship on a couple of plushies, we got an opportunity to run this petition, to see if we, together with you guys, could make a vinyl figure happen.

But before we can start, we need 500 people to pledge for the Fran Bow figurine in order to get the design and production going!

LINK TO THE PETITION[www.makeship.com]

• During this week (7 days) starting today 13 Nov 2023 20:00 CET we will have a petition for the vinyl figure HERE[www.makeship.com]. If you would like a vinyl figure of Fran Bow you can pledge for the petition
  
• One pledge is $2 USD and we need 500 for the petition to be a success. You can pledge up to 5 times, meaning 5 x $2 USD
  
• If the petition fails, you will get the money you pledged back.
  
• When you pledge you will also need to pre-authorize a future payment for the vinyl figure, note that the total amount of times you pledge equals the amount of figures you will buy when the campaign launches. (See example down below)

• If we reach the petition goal after these 7 days. We will start the design process of the vinyl figure.
  
• When the design process is done a campaign (like the plushie campaigns) will launch on Makeship. The new vinyl figure campaign will launch fully funded.
  
• When the campaign launches we will announce it on our social media, here on Steam and in our newsletter.
  
• If you have pledged the vinyl figure during the petition phase, you will now be charged the retail price ($ 29.99 USD + shipping and tax fees) on the same day the vinyl figure campaign goes live on Makeship! You will also get the petition deposit as a discount on your order.

You have made 3 pledges during the petition (3 x $2 USD = $6 USD) you will then be charged for 3 pieces of the Vinyl figure when the campaign launches at Makeship. (3 x $29,99 USD + shipping and tax fees) but also get a discount of $2 USD for each figure on your order which is the Petition Deposit you previously made.

We hope this opportunity sounds as exciting for you as it is for us! Let’s make this happen!

Fixed a bug where you couldn't earn achievements through playing the legacy version of Fran Bow anymore. You should now be able to earn achievements on either legacy or the updated version.

Hello Sweeties!
