Thank you to everyone who has already completed the pledge manager. We appreciate your support. ❤️  

Please make sure to double check your order details before we close the survey. ✅ ✅

There are still 497 people with incomplete surveys. 🙊 Not naming any names, but we encourage you to take another look at your order, just in case:

The pledge manager should have your complete shipping and payment information so we can process your order. We will charge the cards shortly after we close the survey and if there is a payment error, we will send an email to follow up. Please make sure you are receiving notifications to the correct email. If you need to change your email or have any other concerns, you can let us know at [email protected]

A failure to complete your pledge manager today doesn't mean you won't get your game, but add-ons may not be available and it's possible your package will be delivered after the initial Kickstarter fulfillment is complete.

We don't suggest giving yourself FOMO, so go do it while you can! 

We often close our pledge managers quite soon after the campaign so we can stay on track with the production timeline and hopefully deliver the games to you more quickly. We appreciate your help in making this game available sooner for everyone! 🙌

Hey! Hope you've been well! We've got some spicy updates for y'all. 🌶️

The BackerKit surveys will be reopening tomorrow, Feb 1st! This means you will be able to add any items you may have forgotten the first time you submitted the survey. Just a reminder that BackerKit charges immediately the first time you submit the survey, but when you reopen it and submit a second time, it will charge the new balance on Feb 12 instead. Please let us know if this was not the case for you so we can address your order with BackerKit support! 

All orders will close on Feb 12, 2024 and to make sure your game is delivered in a timely manner, please make sure to complete your survey by that date. If you can't find the link to access it, please let us know at [email protected] and we can send you that link. Don't worry, we gotchu. We will send another update to remind you before Feb 12.

Yippee! Our files have been submitted and now we are just waiting on print samples! We expect production to commence after Chinese New Year, and we are still on track for our timeline. 

We got a sample of 5 aluminum dice, but there will be 12 dice total for the add-on. Aren't they just so snazzy?

We're rested, refreshed, and ready to get this project rolling so we can deliver it as soon as possible!

We will be starting with a smoke test of 5% of backers and if that looks good, the rest will go out soon, so don't panic if you don't get it immediately.

Late pledge is also available if you missed the campaign!

 

It’s important to respond to your survey because we need this information to fulfill your rewards. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. 

After you respond to your survey, you can go back in and change your responses after Feb 1 when we will reopen the surveys. On Feb 12, we will officially close the survey to get our final counts and you will no longer be able to make changes to your pledge. If you ever need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your original survey email.

If your original payment method failed in BackerKit, please email us at [email protected] and we will find alternative solutions so you will be able to access the pledge manager. 

We love meeting you and getting the games even sooner into your hands. We usually make it a day of playing games and hanging out--so it's a win-win. If you want to take advantage of local pickup, make sure you select "Local pickup" as your country in the very first step. This is only available in Nashville, TN.

Please email us at [email protected] if you need help with the pledge manager or have any other questions! 

Stay tuned for more updates! 🤗

 

We feel so fortunate to have such an amazing community of Moonrakers & Moonrollers enthusiasts. You are our greatest gift. (Was that too cheesy? Nah, you can never enough cheese 🧀)

Currently, we are in pre-production and waiting for more manufacturer samples from our most recently submitted files. These will likely arrive soon and we will be sharing those with you in January!

We will be opening the BackerKit pledge manger in January 2024, which is when you will be able to add any additional games or goodies. Don't worry, we will remind you in January before it opens. 😋

Also, the late pledge will open tomorrow evening and closes in February 2024. So if you know anyone who was sad about missing out on the campaign, let them know there's always a second chance or maybe it could even be someone's last minute Christmas present! No shame in last minute shopping but it can be crazy out there sometimes, and pre-ordering just makes everything easier. 

The holidays are coming up and we will be out of the office from Dec 16th to Jan 3rd, so if you have any questions or requests, please email us at [email protected] and we will start responding when we are back in the office in January!

Anyways, that's all we've got for you at the moment. We will see you in a few weeks! Don't stay up too late p̶l̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶s̶ waiting for Santa! 😉

Congratulations everyone! 🥳 We made it to $600,000 and we couldn't have done it without you 💖

This means all 8 Intrepid cards have been unlocked! We can't believe you made it to our final goal just in the nick of time.

Rest assured, the pledge manager will begin in January 2024 so your wallets can take a well deserved break for the holidays 🤭

Speaking of, we will also be taking a break after this week. IV Studio will be out of the office starting Dec 16, 2023 and will return Jan 3, 2024. So if you have any questions, make sure to ask them soon! If you have any questions during that time, we suggest asking our Discord where we have a wonderful community of people available to help at any time! 

Thank you again for being here. We appreciate you ❤️

The Moonrollers & Dark Matter campaign officially ends today at 4PM CST (5 HOURS!) and y'all are sooo close to unlocking all 8 Intrepid cards!! You can help us reach that final goal by sharing the campaign with all of your friends, family, neighbors, pets, etc. You get the gist 😉

Also, come join us in celebrating on the livestream at 3PM CST! We will be answering all your questions in the live chat and playing more Moonrollers & Dark Matter! We love chatting with y'all; don't leave us hanging! 

Some of you asked to see a closer look of the Moonrollers playmat. Ask and you shall receive 🤌

Just to provide some clarification, the Moonrollers crew mates will not have the same ability as they do in Moonrakers, though the new one may be inspired by the original one. The crew mates will be rewired to have abilities more suited to help you survive the Moonrollers missions! They're risky individuals but the payoff is so worth it 😉

Stay tuned for more Moonrollers content in the coming days! 

Well, well, well. Here we are again.

This update will be short and sweet, just like Austin 🧁
(Please check on Lilly's wellbeing in 24 hrs for this joke, kinda kidding 🤪).

Anyways, we are still waiting on the manufacturer to send us the pre-production copy (PPC) to approve for mass production to begin.

We did receive some parts of the PPC, which include the cards, so to satiate some of your curiosity, here is a quick peek at those components! 😊

 

We're really hoping to receive a full copy by our next monthly update, but if you want the latest updates, our Instagram and Discord communities hear all the news first!


Like the fact that we are launching another campaign TODAY!

We're reprinting the Fractured Sky Deluxe and Super Deluxe games in French and German, as well as introducing a new micro expansion called Rift. If you're curious, you can watch the 2 minute How to Play Rift video below and we'll also be livestreaming while answering your questions! 

See you there! :) 

Hey y’all! We hope spring is bringing some pep to your step! We’re really enjoying the warmer weather and look forward to some outdoor gaming time 🦋

We wanted to let you know earlier than later with an update on this campaign’s projected timeline.

In our update last month, we were hopeful to receive a pre-production copy to officially approve for mass production to begin in March. Unfortunately, we still have not received those samples due to production delays in the factory and mis-deliveries from couriers. 

The original timeline had us approving samples over CNY and production beginning when the factory opened. The factory was unable to deliver the samples on that timeline and sent them at the beginning of March instead. Unfortunately, that package was misdelivered by the carrier and despite Austin driving around his town looking for them, we were unable to recover them. We are waiting on additional samples to be made and sent now. 

While we originally planned to fulfill this campaign in June, the production delays will likely push that date to the autumn timeframe with a target month of August. Luckily, the harder samples involving the making of molds (like the metal hazard tokens and metal dice) are already completed, and they look great! So we just need to review the gameplay content like the cards, cubes, and boards when they come in.

Though we are still waiting on the main samples, we did receive some new samples of the boxes! 🎁

This is the Moonrollers box which is now slightly darker and more angsty than our prototype 🧛

Then we've got the Atlas box, a gloriously sleek solution to store all of your add-ons for superior shelf organization 🤌

And here is a size comparison for those two boxes!

We also got some of the standard hazard tokens in and they are looking dangerously cute 🥰

We're hoping to receive the MPC within the next few weeks so we can share an official preview of the game and approve for mass production to begin in April. We will continue keeping you updated about the status of production!

Also, our Veiled Fate Tribunal Kickstarter campaign is currently live and we're already over 800K in funding! 🤯 It's incredible how much support we've seen, and it's still open until April 2, 2024 if you're interested in a great strategic deduction game for 2-8 players!

Here's a quick 2 minute overview of the game in case you've never heard of it. 

Hello! We hope February has been treating you well. We have some production updates and IV Studio news to share with you!

We got some new samples in from Panda, our manufacturer. We should have a complete pre-production copy by our next update! We hope to start production by late March.

First is this snazzy dice tray with a striking red background. Perfect for containing all of your wild dice rolls.

And take a look at this beautiful mat. Ooooh. So organized, so sleek.
If you like seeing everything in its proper place, this is it. 🤌

The Veiled Fate Tribunal Kickstarter campaign launches on March 12th, which is less than 2 weeks away! Click the follow button to be notified of when it launches so you don't miss out. 😉

If you haven't heard of the campaign, you can find out more about the 4 new expansions and the $1,000,000 stretch goal unlock here. 

We also have lots of exciting new content that we will be sharing on our Instagram and Discord in the following weeks, such as this fancy 3D City. 🤩

See you in the next update! 😊

Hiya, happy February 💖

We're still reeling from how fast January happened, but we wanted to send a couple of reminders before the Lunar New Year! 🧧

 

To make sure we are on schedule for a delivery in summer 2024, we will be closing the pledge manager surveys next Monday, Feb 12, 2024. This means it will be locked and you will no longer be able to make changes to your order. Late pledges are also closing soon, so this is your last chance to make a pledge or add any last minute add-ons!

Most cards should have charged after the first survey completion, but if that was not the case for you, we will be charging cards for any remaining balances shortly after closing the survey. If there is still a remaining balance on your order after Feb 12th due to either a card error or missing payment information, your order will not be processed. Please make sure your payment was processed correctly by checking through this link: https://moonrollers-and-darkmatter-a-moonrakers-experience.backerkit.com/backer/review 

To access the Add-Ons, you can navigate to the "Review" page in the survey manager and click the "Edit Add-Ons" button at the very bottom of the page. You will also still be able to edit your shipping information up until we finalize addresses shortly before we start shipping. To do so, you will need to use the "Edit Shipping Info" button.

"Closing" the pledge manager means we are preparing to place our production order and can no longer accept new orders. We take into account all pledges already made, but incomplete pledges on BackerKit will no longer be able to add new items. Feb 12th is the last day that you're guaranteed to be able to add new things to your pledge.

If you need help completing your survey or adjusting your order, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] using the subject line "Moonrollers Pledge Manager Support"

Have a great weekend and we wish everybody who celebrates the Lunar New Year great fortune, health, and lucky (dice) rolls! 🐲
