Hi listeners.

I am very pleased to say that the physical books for Midnight in Jubilation are now in production! I finalised the order this morning after reviewing the latest proofs and I’ve received confirmation its now progressed to the production stage. I’m honestly both nervous and excited to receive the books, and have been laughing with my family about how and where I will be storing them in the house as I work through the shipping process.

What this all means is that I have formally closed the pre-order store and sent out notifications to those who placed an order post-campaign. This is a heads up that cards will be charged for those pre-orders in the next few days. I’m then going to be making a start on preparing the accessible PDF versions of the game, reflecting the final tweaks made to the document as I set up for printing.

I’m also reviewing the process of adding shipping fees in BackerKit and will be doing some testing of different package combinations to get the weights as accurate as possible. This includes looking at what kind of packing materials to use inside the rigid mailers to protect the books in transit. Just as a reminder, I am not charging value-added taxes, import taxes, etc, as I am not working with a fulfilment partner to prepare and send out the parcels. You will be responsible for paying those fees if your country enforces them.

I will continue to keep you all updated as things progress!

 

For today’s song recommendations, I’d like to leave you with And Dream of Sheep by Kate Bush and Lesley Gore on the T.A.M.I. Show by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.

Dorian.
