Project Update: A Production Update
Hey all,
First up, apologies for the tardy update. There's not been much to say as production is underway. That said, I know it's important to give you news even when it's not much news.
Well, there is a little bit of news, but more on that in a moment.
Anyway, here is where we are. We are in production. We are late on this project, but it is all being made into physical things now by the people who do that.
I think that's important to say as crowdfunding is based on trust and there are creators out there who have failed to deliver. That has never been us, nor will it ever be. In the past, we've had projects delivered on time, and some delivered late, but we've always delivered and we've always tried to go that bit extra to ensure our backers know they are valued.
Wires in The Woods is, quite honestly, the most amazing project I have worked on. I've written the hell out of it and Simon has gone above and beyond on the artwork (as I'm sure you've seen from the PDF version). We've gone high quality on all of the production and once you have it in your hands, I'm sure you'll appreciate it. If I'm be honest, coordinating the project has been overwhelming at times - it's the biggest thing we've ever worked on here at Critical Kit - but we've finally got there.
Right, now for that tiny bit of news.
Over the next 7-10 days we are expecting to get images / actual samples of the first items to roll off the production lines. We are producing things with several different manufacturers, so these will come at various times. The good news is that it will allow me to show and prove what we are making and will allow me to give you some more frequent updates.
We don't anticipate any issues with fulfilment (we'd like this well underway in May), other than our own shipping costs may increase due to the current global situation and how it will effect fuel surcharges. I want to assure you that those costs will be covered by us and you will not be affected in any way.
When I have a firm date that we can start fulfilment, I will put a call out (via update) to ask if any addresses have changed. We will also do a direct email blast (one-off) just to check in on you all.
Once again, thank you for your patience. I am honestly as excited as you to see Wires in The Woods; to hold the actual thing in my hands.
As always, if you have any questions, please do drop them in the comments below and I will respond to them within 24 hours.
Tim (& Simon)
P.S. Here are things that are already finished and in our possession:
- Prints
- Hessian Bags
- Miniatures
- Postcards
- Book plates
