We've been asked a couple times for an update on shipping, and while we would have loved to give some more information out earlier, things are out of our hands now - meaning we rely on when the logistics providers can supply us with additional information to pass your way.
That said, just earlier today we received an update with some exciting news!
Books Are On Their Way To Your Homes! Or at least they will be soon, if you're in the USA. Some backers should have already received their tracking information (particularly backers in more regional areas), but if you live in a population center it may take a bit more time since those will generally all be shipped together and all need to be processed.
If you live outside the USA, then your books are still on the freight carriers from the factory - none of them have reached port yet as far as we know, and when they do will be dependent on your region (for example, Europeans should be able to expect things fairly soon, while Australians may have to wait some more time.)
Who Can I Contact About Shipping Problems?
As I mentioned earlier, now that production is done, things are almost entirely out of our hands. This means sadly that we can't do a lot about any problems you experience on our own and updates can take some time. With that said, Japanime Games are doing most of the fulfillment through their own channels, and you should be able to contact them here if anything goes wrong. We'll do our best to update you about everything regarding the process as a whole as we know about it.
Celebrating Despair Dilemma with a Special NPC Encounter!
As many of you already know, we recently launched the crowdfunding campaign for our next project Despair Dilemma: A Death Game Mastermind TTRPG, inspired by series like Danganronpa, Zero Escape, and Squid Game. Only a week deep into the campaign, I'm proud to say that we're already 400% funded and are on our way to hitting more and more stretch goals!
In all of the excitement, Iris (Our lead editor and co-designer on both games) wanted to celebrate with by making an NPC encounter for Perfect Draw! featuring the "Death Game Mascot" of the book, Usashi:
Just like with Perfect Draw!,Despair Dilemma is already a near complete game and we'll have a Prototype PDF available to everyone who supports it in the same way as we did here once the funding period ends! For now, backers are working with us to make a custom Death Game called "The Purgatory Express", where each element is voted on before we include it in the final book.
We're really proud of the game, so if you're a fan of the genre or just TTRPGs that do a little bit different, I hope you'll support us by giving the game a look!
-- Thank you for your time and have a lovely weekend! Nora Jean Haynes
