Hey everyone! So the WLCW Backerkit Campaign was originally scheduled for April 25th, it was then moved up to May 23rd and then May 2nd, however I'm still very busy cobbling together the animation for the Pilot trailer cut and it turns out that Backerkit requires a project to be reviewed 2-4 days in advance, the May 2nd launch date would be too soon.
Despite all the chaos, the launch date IS May 23rd, 2026, 12PM EST

Here's a teaser from the upcoming Pilot trailer!

 
For now, I'll be livestreaming animation work on WLCW on these scheduled days to build up hype and to keep up interest:
Saturday, May 2nd, 12PM EST to 5 PM EST
Saturday, May 9th, 12PM EST to 5 PM EST
Wednesday, May 20th, 6PM EST to 10PM EST

...and the campaign will officially launch: May 23rd, 12PM, we will be hosting another 24-hour livestream to help promote the campaign.

Here is the current timeline for the campaign:
May 23rd - CAMPAIGN launches! Season 1 Promo Trailer + Extended Opening releases!
June 7th - ???
June 28th - ???
July 4th - WLCW Pilot - Act 1 releases!
July 11th - CAMPAIGN ends!

Post-Release (dependent on the campaign's success!)
Late July - ???
August - Warsaw Pact short + The British short
September/October - WLCW Pilot - Act 2 and Act 3
November - WLCW Episode Two
December - Artbook and Blu-Ray (WLCW Volume 1) will be manufactured around this time.
Q1 2027 - All rewards will have shipped

The campaign will run from May 23rd to July 11th, 7 weeks, 49 days, with the possibility for extensions.
Our goal is $55,000 USD to help finish the Pilot episode and kickstart production on Episode 2 + a series of WLCW shorts, after 2026, our goal is to be fully self-sufficient with merchandising and long-term sales of the artbook + Blu-Rays to help fund the production of Episodes 3-6 independently.   
Funding the campaign will ensure our animation operations to run smoothly and continuously from mid-2026 to 2027.

That's all the boring jargon for now! See y'all in 3 weeks! We're hard at work!
