From the desk of Herb:

First I'd like to thank all of you for your continued support and patience! Here are all the details on what's going on:

SURVEYS

If you haven't already, please fill out your surveys! It's been almost half a year since we opened the Backerkit and this is your last chance to fill out your surveys. We will be closing the Backerkit on the 10th of December. If you don't see your invite email, please check your spam/junk email box!

PRODUCTION

Yes, we're a bit behind in production because of sporadic Covid lockdowns in China, where our manufacturer is. We also found a blaring typo on the front of the box after the game had been printed. Just reprinting the front of the box put us back a couple of weeks, but we're getting there. The cost of shipping from China has almost doubled, container space is in short supply and unfortunately, we also found out that the shipping time from China is almost 2-3 weeks longer. BUT...

The good news is that all that has passed and the games are on the water on their way to the US. We are preparing to get everything out to you as quick as we can when they arrive. All stretch goal materials are either in-house or in the mail on their way to us right now.

HERE'S THE ROUGH BIT

I understand that some of you would like to have these as Christmas presents for friends/family. We have asked our manufacturer to Fedex us 4 cases of games, that's 48 copies that we can have ready for Christmas. If you are one of these backers, please message us and we'll get it out to you when they arrive.

We apologize for the delays and we'll try our best to get all the copies out as soon as we get them!

Waiting time...

Now that we've given the okay to our manufacturer for the copies to print, it's time... to wait... (but we'll keep sending out updates when we hear things!)


In the meantime, we wanted to share some other projects with you that we're working on!


Clio (one of the designers) is putting together an anthology of erotic interactive fiction called Strange Lusts/Strange Loves with Sharang Biswas. They are partnering up with several talented sci-fi and games writers, as well as some cool writers and the magazine Strange Horizons!


Banana (on the publishing side of things) is designing and co-publishing a kids tabletop roleplaying game called Questlings with co-designer Tim Devine and Letiman Games! It launches November 17 and you can follow here before it goes live. 

Hope you're all staying safe and healthy and we'll keep you updated again as soon as we hear back from the manufacturer with our next updates! Thanks for your patience!

TIME FOR AN UNBOXING VIDEO! (I couldn't think of a good music title. Leave a comment if you have a better title)

🎶 Time for an update! 🎶

Thanks everyone for your patience! We just wanted to let everyone know that we have approved all print proofs of the game and we're just waiting on the manufacturer to get back to us. We have not yet received the physical proof from them yet, but we're hoping that they'll get back to us as soon as they're back from their Mid-Autumn vacation. 


Unfortunately, that might mean that we'll have some delays with shipping, but we'll keep everyone updated on how things go! We are still targeting for a November/December shipping date!

You're the (print proof) for me 🎶(Also don't forget your BackerKit surveys!)
