Locus was available in a version 0 for around 8 months before it's Kickstarter and from that time many folks have been amazing enough to talk about it or give us the chance to ramble about it.
Go check out the following for more info on Locus and some awesome folks to follow!

Rope was one of the first to get really excited for Locus!
His videos are in Finnish but he went the extra mile and put in English subtitles for this one.
You can see a monster he created in the Director guide (along with some awesome art he did of it!)

@lotevenstar interviewed @TeaCrusading about Locus and their conversation went into some very interesting detail about horror in tabletop.
He has also released his own game Aether & Steamworks 1.5 which you should totally check out!

@faefatale_ got very excited for the Locus Kickstarter and wrote an amazing thread about the things in it that excited and appealed to them! A lot of their thoughts perfectly mirrored our intentions!
We're just hoping the system lives up to their hopes! https://twitter.com/faefatale_/status/1295881342882848774

We aren't done yet though!
Locus still has the development and printing of a variety of physical rewards to be completed.
We also have the Sci-Fi setting guide for the game which has seen an editor and is in line for Layout. We're really proud of that one!

And of course there's our #zinequest3 entry coming up.
Sticks & Stones is a one-shot story for Locus set in a disorienting woodland with mysterious dolls.
