Great that you keep trying!
Seeing you choose to go for 4/weapon over 1/life+1 at this moment reveals substantial confusion in priorities.
4/weapon is great to try later in Red, after having more mid-level strength and abilities. It can sometimes be attempted in Yellow or even late Green, but only with a much less interesting alternative. The +1 life are quite highly prized from early on, but not worth extreme sacrifice for. e.g. in Green pass 1, if going for a 1/life+1 and the draws go -1,0 then OK, lose the 2 life and get rid of those then try the same 1/life+1 in Yellow. An exception is 0/life+1 that is almost-neutral ballast and most alternatives are preferred, but sometimes is OK too e.g. very early Yellow, when not having enough strength and the alternative is too difficult e.g. 3/sort.
Also so many Aging cards reveal few or late obtained destroy powers (or just mismatches with the few opportunities so far). Remaining 0/weak (although not always practical to eliminate them all by now), vanilla 1 (may be OK to remain in deck for a while) and having got *by choice* 0/phase-1, 1/below the pile and 2/weapon. Not that they are always bad, but usually many alternatives are better.
e.g. sometimes 2/weapon is good in late Green to compensate the extra cycling of a 0/cards+2 (that could increase the risk of ending by Old Age if not also getting some raw strength soon).

How likely will it be to be able to pick up these books after the game releases? I like the idea of playing another open world gamebook, but the price for all four is steep, and I'm really not sure about the theme (dark fantasy + mesoamerican myths).

I think the only way to know is to back at the $1 level and ask? Or contact company directly if it has contact info...

Kickstarter allows you to message them directly and ask. It's even on the project page. Backerkit is the one that doesn't let you.

Lurkers are welcome 🙂. There's two ways to 'lurk' that I'm happy with and the choice is up to you and the players. The first is the 'nuts & bolts', you get copied into everything; if the players are willing. The second is the 'polished finish', you get copied into each summary. Essentially this is the 'story', the players and I will have gone back and forth with interactions until these are woven into a scene created by the player characters who then move on to the next situation and so on. I see you're a fan of the game too, hope I don't spoil it for you. Always happy with feedback, perhaps you may wish to play a nefarious NPC some time when you have a bit of leisure!
