Just wanted to let you all know where we're at with production right now.
Since our last update, we've been getting the samples and looking into possible new testing requirements.
We what received the stickers for anyone that backed 3 projects under our banner, and for anyone that backed our collab partner's project.
Not to bore any of you with business stuff, but new rules require all boardgames to get safety tested, regardless of the marketed age range. This testing cost money, which we obviously didn't plan for during the campaign as these new rules were basically a surprise.
HOWEVER, The Cure, being just cards in a package, qualifies as "playing cards" and is thus exempt from the needed testing. It did take a little time to get the needed info, but everything's moving again.
While we did receive a sample of the wallet before the campaign, we weren't completely satisfied with the color of the logo. So we had a new sample made with a different color, and in our opinion, it looks much brighter and way better! Production of the wallets has begun!
Next week, we should receive the final sample of all of the paper components. (cards and rules) Assuming everything looks good, full production should begin shortly after.
We're so excited to get The Cure into your hands as quickly as possible! Thank you again for all of your support!
Just wanted to fill y'all in on the recent going ons.
Money was received, the files have been sent, and the cards have been proofed!
Be sure to keep an eye out for the survey. We'll probably be sending those soon. You'll need to fill that out to get your game and get access to the pledge manager.
We'll also have a late pledge pre-order store available too!
We're so excited for this to hopefully be a quick and easy process. Thank you all again for your support! We'll be back within a month, if not sooner, with the next update.
What comes next, you ask? BackerKit will collect and verify your pledges over the next two weeks. After that, we will send the files to the manufacturer and we'll be on our way to getting the games made! We'll keep you updated along the way.
Keep an eye on your email in the coming weeks for a survey that will give you access to the pledge manager! This step is crucial to receive your game.
Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! A faster way to reach us is through email ([email protected]) or through a Facebook message on our page. BackerKit notifications sometimes take more than 24 hours to come through to our end.
We are fully funded!! Thank you to everyone who helped us reach the goal! There's still time to back us and get The Cure if you haven't already. 😉
Now, on to stretch goal number 1, getting a linen finish on the cards. This will help the cards not stick together, reduce glare, and feel better overall.
Again, THANK YOU for helping us fund The Cure by sharing and donating!!! We couldn't have done it without you.
We're nearly half way to our funding goal! We're excited and are so glad you guys are joining us on this journey.
We wanna give a shout out to our collaborators, Absurdist Productions, for reaching about 2/3 of the way of their goal! As of this moment, 65% of our backers are also backing their campaign, Cell Block 18 & Riposte! Way to share the love and help them succeed!
If you missed the livestream of us playing all three games with them, you can watch it on YouTube. We started off with some technical difficulties, but we got it all fixed. It was a great time and so much fun to play these games! No spoilers, but someone wins nearly every game... 👀
If you have any questions or comments, please share them! We'll answer any questions you have about The Cure, Mini Meeple Melee, game design, our favorite games, our favorite dinosaurs, why the sky is blue...
