Mostly done with mass production! Here are some pictures:

The final book! You can't tell in the pic, but there's a really cool layer of Spot-UV on it as well.
The factory finished assembling everything - and everything looks great! We were on track to palletize and freight everything by April 27th, 2024.
ButUnfortunately...
We found some issues when we inspected the final copies, just as we were about to confirm the pallet shipments.
The GOTY samples they sent us contained 1 Dice, not a Set of 6.
In addition, the shrink wrapped copies were missing the information insert that was supposed to be included at the back of each GOTY copy.
Mockup of what this back insert sheet is supposed to look like.
That unfortunately has led to a significant delay of about 4 weeks, as the factory has to cast more dice and print those sheets, then repack everything. Womp womp. It was a big bummer to us but at least we caught it before things got worse.
Updated Timeline
Okay, so here's what we're looking at now:
Ocean Freight Begins - May 22nd 2024
Slugblaster Arrives in Warehouse - July 2024
Slugblaster Fulfillment - July 2024
Not ideal, and way longer than we anticipated. Sorry about that, folks.
In the Meantime...
We're working out shipping rates so we can finalize those soon. That's the main logistics task for us this month.
Doing so will allow us to combine your orders so you're only paying one shipping rate. We know this has been requested by some, so hopefully this makes it easier on everyone to make sure that happens.
Next update we should have shipping rates ready and hopefully the game will be done-done printing as well.
