First, happy New Year! And it is time to give an update on the projectโs progress. Our teams are currently working on the layout of both books. This is a complex stage, as the page design is particularly sophisticated.
The Universe book includes hundreds of fabricated letters, official documents, and retouched photographs, all designed to fully immerse you in post-apocalyptic rumors and to convey the everyday lives of the survivors. You can see below a preview of the French version layout:
The layout is quite complex and takes a lot of time. Even though the core design is already in place, converting everything into English is meticulous work, and our graphic designer is spending a significant amount of time on it. We canโt wait to share the first excerpts from the English version with you!
Here's the updated production planning:
โ๏ธ PDFs finalized โ In layout.
โ๏ธ Pledge manager โ We will open it when the PDFs are done, probably during May 2026.
โ๏ธ Printing & production โ Scheduled for Summer 2026.
๐ข Ocean freight โ Scheduled for Autumn 2026.
๐ฎ Shipping to backers โ Late Autumn 2026.
Thanks again for your support, and beware of the snakes and dust storms ! See you next month, survivors ;)
