Project Update: AUGUST UPDATE: Slight Delay.

Hey there, In the Dark Gang!

TLDR:

We are hoping to get the game to you before the end of the year.
Tray issues delayed us a bit, but they look great now.
Surveys coming soon.
Cool hidden role game available on Kickstarter here: http://kck.st/3yLyQr2

Let's dive into the details.

GAME DELAY
Well, it happened. A slight delay. My original hope was to get this game to you by Halloween. Such a quick turn around may have been possible if we didn't hit a single snag. Well, we did. There are two main issues that delayed us.

Issue 1: File Formatting
By the end of this campaign, all the art and writing was done. The only task left was the graphic design for the box, rule books, and character guides. Once those were finished, we sent off the files to the manufacturer. However, they sent back the files because there were unforeseen format issues with the files. For example, some of the blacks didn't match (yes, different shades of black) and the cards all had to be on one file instead of 56 different card files. With these little hiccups, we knew we wouldn't make Halloween, but we were still hoping for a solid November release. But then...

Issue 2: Vacuum Tray size
The Tuesday Knight Game Team and I were all pumped and ready to go, but we had a pre-production white box sent to us. It was then we found the vacuum tray was 1milimeter too small for the box. This caused the tray to not only rattle around in the box, but also fall through. Check it:

Here you can see the rule books fall in. That's normal... IF the vacuum tray isn't in the box.

Oh no! The vacuum tray IS in the box. It's fallen off the interior shelf/lining.

Here the tray is adjusted to be in the upper right so you can see how it's too small for the shelf.

BOOM! Fixed. Now the shelf is twice as big. As a bonus, the candles fit in the box even better!

We definitely did not want you to open your game to find the tray crooked and off its lining. So as you can see, we needed to ask for a bigger interior shelf/lining. But as the captions of the pictures above say, this is good news! The tray will no longer fall into the box AND as an added bonus, the candles will rattle in the box even less. So while this may have added a couple weeks on to the expected arrival time, your Werewolf in the Dark quality is being assured.

SURVEYS
In the next few weeks, we are hoping to get you your Werewolf in the Dark Backerkit surveys. You should receive an email (the email associated with your Backerkit account) with a link. Follow that link and you'll be able to confirm your order, add any extras you may want (like extra candles), and you can request to be added to our Tuesday Knight Games email list so that you won't miss out on any big Tuesday Knight Games announcements.

You can expect me to give you more information about your surveys in your September update.

23 KNIVES
Tyler Brown is our customer service representative. He's the one handling most product questions and other inquiries people send to Tuesday Knight Games. Not only is he a hard worker and a wonderful human being, he is also a game designer. His first game is available to back on Kickstarter right NOW!

I've personally played 23 Knives and have been a part of it's development. This game has hidden roles, historic accuracy, and betrayal. I wouldn't waste precious update space on telling you about a lemon of a game. Sincerely, I can't recommend 23 Knives enough. If you want more details, please feel free to ask. Back it and you won't be disappointed:
