First and foremost, we want to sincerely apologize for the lack of updates over the past few months. We know that silence can be frustrating, and we deeply appreciate your patience. While we haven't been posting updates, please rest assured that we have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to make Crown: The Succession War the best game it can possibly be.
We want to give you a transparent look at exactly what we’ve been doing during this time, where we currently stand, and our next steps. 🛠️ What We’ve Been Working On
To ensure the highest quality for the final product, we have been laser-focused on finalizing every single detail before mass production kicks off. Here is a breakdown of our recent progress:
1. Gameplay & Rulebook Polish
Rulebook Adjustments: We’ve been making final tweaks to the rulebook for maximum clarity and flow.
Language & Skill Verification: We conducted multiple rounds of rigorous language proofreading and double-checked all in-game skill descriptions to guarantee a smooth and balanced gameplay experience.
2. Miniature & Component Optimization
Sculpting & Details: We have been in deep communication with our manufacturers to adjust and refine the intricate engraving details on the miniatures.
Material Stability: We've been testing and confirming the material stability of the models to ensure they are both durable and highly detailed.
Final Accessory Checks: We are doing the final confirmations on all game accessories and components.
3. Print Readiness & Logistics
Die-lines & Layouts: We’ve gone through extensive back-and-forth with the factory regarding their feedback on die-lines and have finalized the various printing layouts.
Contracts & Warehousing: On the administrative side, we are locking in our final manufacturing contracts and confirming our warehousing and fulfillment partnerships to ensure smooth shipping later on. 📸 Sneak Peek: Sample Photos!

🏭 Current Production Status & Timeline
Currently, our team and our manufacturing partners are observing the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) holiday. Because of this, factory operations are temporarily paused.
What happens next? As soon as the holiday concludes, we have meetings scheduled with the factory in March to officially sign off on the final production details mentioned above. Once these March meetings wrap up, mass production will officially begin.
Fulfillment Timeline: Because we are finalizing the manufacturing contracts next month, we will provide a concrete, updated fulfillment timeline in our very next update in March.
Pledge Manager Status: Our Pledge Manager is currently being set up. We will notify everyone and send out the surveys as soon as our fulfillment timeline is finalized next month.
Thank you once again for your incredible support and understanding. We are putting our hearts into this game, and we can't wait to share more exciting news with you next month once the factory reopens!
