Coming to you today with an update, as fulfillment draws ever closer. With the exception of the koozies, everything is on a boat or plane headed for our warehouses, and we expect the koozies to ship shortly. Once everything has arrived at warehouses, we'll get started on fulfillment. In the meantime, we have a few things to share...
BE/HOLD Digital Soundtrack Released
The wonderful team at BE/HOLD created a soundtrack, Your Brain on Portals, to accompany all your Slime, Warp, and Solder adventures. If you backed for the cassette soundtrack, you will receive the wav files as a digital download.
Behold! A physical cassette!
Gnarly transparent slimey cassette for your listening pleasure
Mythworks & Mikey at PAX Unplugged
The team will be at PAX Unplugged December 4-6, at Booth 2851. Come by and say hey! Mikey will be there doing signings and chatting with folks at least once each day, and you can follow him on Bluesky for exact times over the weekend, if you'd like to connect!
Shipping Charges
We've been working hard behind the scenes to figure out everyone's shipping charges and make sure they're as affordable as we can make them for you, and we're going to be charging cards this week. With that said, here's the estimated shipping fees in USD (depending on the contents of your order, and your region, the cost may be more or less). US - $10-$15 UK - $9-$11 EU - $13-$30 Australia & NZ - $14-$20 Canada - $15-$19 Rest of World - $47
We do apologize if these shipping fees are higher than anticipated - with the volatility of shipping worldwide an ongoing concern, we have done our best to find shipping solutions for our projects.
As always, you can reach us at [email protected] if you have questions, concerns, or comments.
Vince here from Mythworks with an exciting update for Slugblaster: Slime, Warp, Solder. Mikey, Ray, and I recently got some sample copies in the mail from our printing partners and... wow! We were blown away!
SWS turned out soooo cool we just had to make a video and share it with all of you! (Sorry for the dad jokes :P)
With that out of the way, we are happy to announce that printing has been officially completed for Slime, Warp, Solder! There are still some bits and bobs to take care of regarding the koozies and cassettes, but those are also close to completion.
WHEN CAN I BLAST MORE SLUGS?!
As we speak, our printing partner has organise delivery of the slipcased zines to our warehouses in the US, UK, and EU. They will be cruising for 30-40 days across the seven seas.
We're excited to get this one into your hands and will continue reporting in regarding progress and if anything comes up.
Until next time, keep your decks close and your wits about you! Slugs always find their way into everything...
Production is underway! We are excited to get a shipment timeline from the manufacturer, but for now we're just relieved to have smoothed out print blips so that Slime, Warp & Solder can get made.
Download links for the PDFs have been sent out to all backers and pre-orderers via itch.io, so check your inbox for those!
We've also gotten samples of the koozies and a peak at the cover for BE/HOLD's cassette!
Panic Energy comes in two radical anxiety-inducing flavors!
A glimpse at the tape's j-card (that's the thing that folds up into the cassette case)
Find us at GenCon
Mythworks will be at GenCon with copies of the Slugblaster core game at Booth 2945 on the show floor, July 30-August 2.
A quick update on production, surveys, and logistics!
Print Hiccups
We have been troubleshooting the spot colors for the printer - turns out the way we set up the files was not quite what the printer expected. But we're happy to report that we've learned a lot about setting up spot colors and we are hopeful the PDFs we deliver this week are the final ones so that production can begin.
Surveys and Locked Orders
Thank you to everyone who's filled out their survey so far! If your survey has been completed, it is likely your order has been locked and you should have access to the digital files for Slime, Warp & Solder + Slugblaster itself, depending which tiers and add-ons you backed.
THANK YOU to everyone who has done their survey. Your radness knows no end. We're in the process of calculating shipping rates now that files are (fingers crossed) done, and that's the last piece of the pledge manager puzzle for locked orders.
If you haven't done your survey—please do! If need help finding it, or didn't receive one, please hit up [email protected] and we will get you squared away.
Backers can download it via the link at the bottom of this update. Files will also be sent out using BackerKits distribution feature in the coming week.
With the PDFs done and SEXONAPIZZA putting the finishing touches on the box, we can now start printing. We'll talk more about that process and the timeline in a future update!
