DO NOT FEED THE BEARS. The legend of Snuff the Be DO NOT FEED THE BEARS.

The legend of Snuff the Bear is a classic campfire story told on Mountain Island by visitors and locals alike. Some say the founder of the mining empire, Deacon Copperpot, could communicate with the beast telepathically. Crazy right?

Apparently, Dr. Connor Jones, head of the Mountain Island Historical Society, has video shot on a Cine Model 8 of Snuff and Deacon from sometime in the 1930s. No one can validate this claim, and Dr.Jones is notorious for keeping quiet about the island's murky past.

The digital comic is being packaged and will be ready next week. If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, keep an eye out for a notification with details about how to get your free copy!

"The United States during the 1930's was a turbule "The United States during the 1930's was a turbulent place. 

Still reeling from the impact of the 29' collapse of Wall Street, the country was in shambles. Hoovervilles and shanty towns sprung up across the land as poor families and those out of work clustered together in hastily constructed communities. 

Built from scraps of a crumbling nation, Hoovervilles would remain commonplace until the start of the Second World War. 

These conditions allowed for Deacon Copperpot to run his empire on Mountain Island with little to no oversight by the U.S. Government for almost a decade. Machiavellian in his approach to ruling over the hundreds who worked and perished under his reign; most have forgotten about what took place here. 

Alongside the genius and recluse scientist Dean Herbs, the two would be responsible for advanced feats of engineering, material science breakthroughs and other inventions well ahead of their time. "

Part 1: The Immortal Deacon Copperpot "In the beg Part 1: The Immortal Deacon Copperpot

"In the beginning of the 20th century, a mysterious mining complex was rapidly constructed on Mountain Island by the infamous Deacon Copperpot. For two decades he commanded the exotic operation steeped in riches, mystery and murder."

Digging up the past can be a volatile endeavor on Mountain Island. Nowadays, the place is renowned for its amazing fishing, hunting, climbing, camping and other outdoor activities. But deep below, in the abandoned mines and monstruous caverns, something stirs. 

As promised, we will be sending our first 1,000 followers and supporters a complimentary digital copy of the 24 pages when released! Share with a friend or your #coop partner so you can both be ready when the game releases later in 2023!

Thank you all for your continued support!

Decaying structures of old mining elevators like the one seen here still dot the landscape of modern day Mountain Island. 

Used to quickly transport miners from their camps to higher elevation work sites; they were generally safe but often used as a way to dispose of one's enemies.

They say that someone would fall or be pushed out so frequently that predator's would camp below the carts path waiting for their next meal.

The deep blackness of the animals eye's are dull and emotionless. It's explosive energy can felt emanating through the old wooden floorboards of Nugget's Saloon.

Even dastardly men full of whiskey and drunken courage like Bullup Grimes and his crew know their chances are slim to none.

But hell, the whiskeys good and if your going to be eaten by a bear, you might as well go out fighting.
