GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANS!
It’s been 30 days since you last heard from us – that is too long. Sorry about that. We’ll be giving you updates at least every two weeks from now on.
Let’s start this off with a big announcement:
WE’VE UNLOCKED EVERY STRETCH GOAL!
Thanks to all our backers + our pre-order sales at Capricon37 we raised just over $14,000. Which means every copy of RobotLab will come on premium card stock, include Mad Scientist AND be in a premium two-part chipboard box.
GOOD JOB EVERYONE!
Now on to business:
In the last few weeks we’ve been prepping our game for production and came across a small hiccup.. Originally we planned on having a thin black border around the edge of each card. But as we moved into production it became apparent that our intended border was just too thin to pass the cut tolerance limits with our printing vendor.
Our options were to increase border thickness by about double OR remove the border altogether.
We’ve chosen to remove the border.
However, this change meant that all 35+ art files that we had been pre-prepped for production now needed to be edited. That work is the primary reason you have not yet heard from us.
But not to worry! That extra work has not affected our delivery timeline – we gave ourselves quite a bit of pre-production time just in case something like this happened.
What’s Next:
Here’s where we are in the process:
- COMPLETE – Receive Funds from Kickstarter
- COMPLETE – Finalize Card & Art Files
- IN PROGRESS – Finalize Rulebook & Box
- IN PROGRESS – Create Print and Play Version
- IN PROGRESS – Send Backerkit Survey & Finalize Pledges
- Review & Approve Proofs from AdMagic
