Project Update: Smoke Test and VAT By Item Spreadsheet Soon
We will be sending out our Smoke Test via Pledge Manager very soon. We're working towards going to print for this alongside Starships & Soldiers. We are giving a shipping discount to anyone who backed both of these projects since we now have a way of combining orders on the backend through Shopify. This means that both surveys will be going out shortly at the same time. Once surveys are out, we hope to have a pre-print pdf for you during March; you will get that via BackerKit, only final distribution will happen via Shopify, DTRPG, and Itch.
As part of putting together the smoke test, we are adjusting how we charge for international shipping. We will be charging the actual tax rates for UK, EU, and AUS rather than adding a flat fee for international orders. These VAT rates do have to be charged at the appropriate rate for digital items in addition to physical items. This all due to moving some stock into international warehouse locations, requiring stricter compliance on our end. The vast majority of people will save money, and we will through in some free digital gifts for anyone who ends up paying VAT for a digital item that they weren't expecting to pay a year ago.
We will share a spreadsheet in our next update with the rates for each pledge level and add-ons. This update will also serve as a reminder of when surveys are getting sent out.
Until next time,
Violet

Project Update: New Year Update, Apologies for the Delay
Welcome to 2026, we first would like to apologize for our recent delays in updates. My professional and personal life has been pretty crazy (growing pains moving into multiple fulfillment centers for distribution and a divorce). However, we haven't been still on this project, we're just been bad at providing updates. For the zine, there are three very distinct styles of layout and design for each section of the adventure, and we've narrowed each of the styles down to three possibilities, so we almost have our style guide complete, which means layout will move swiftly moving forward. We're working with Ben on finalizing our maps as well, so we are making good progress and should deliver near the end of February.
Since we are looking to fulfill during February, we will be sending out surveys in the next week or two, so you can pay for shipping, tax, and any add-ons you may choose. We'll send out more detailed updates as we send things out and as waves of orders are going to be shipped out.

Does anyone know what's happening with this project? 4 months without any communication does concern me. I appreciate that there is rather a lot going on in the Mothership universe, but I still would like to back these more contained projects with enthusiasm and confidence.

Project Update: August Update
This is a fun update. We're in the midst of iterating on our prototype layout for section 1 of the book, and we have received all of our spot art from Amanda. Greenspore has worked through leaving notes for copy an line edits for the entire book, and Jordan is working on implementing the edits for the final section of the book. We're sharing one more piece of as part of this update.
Late pledges are still open and will remain open all the way until we complete fulfillment.
Until next time,
Violet
