What an epic journey this campaign has turned out to be! Thanks to you, we broke records together at Envy Born Games! Hercules and the 12 Labors is now our most backed and most funded campaign to date with 1,564 backers and over 900% funded! We are incredibly grateful to every single one of you. Thank you for making this a legendary milestone for us!!
What Happens Next?
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be:
Finalizing all game files, including the rulebook (which is the largest piece of work ahead).
Setting up the pledge manager through BackerKit.
Once the pledge manager is ready, we’ll send out a test to a small group of backers to ensure everything is working smoothly. If there are any issues, we’ll address them right away. After that, we’ll send surveys to everyone! I do not have a estimated timeline for this yet.
In the pledge manager, you’ll be able to:
Provide your shipping information
Upgrade your pledge (if you'd like!)
Add extra copies or other products
We’ll wait to charge credit cards for shipping until we’re very close to loading onto a ocean freighter. That way, we’ll have the most accurate estimate for fulfillment costs and any potential tariffs.
Tariffs
On a much less fun and exiting note, we want to take a moment to address the gigantic elephant in the room: Tariffs. As most of you are aware, the current global tariff situation is highly unpredictable. There are a lot of uncertainties, and conditions can shift within weeks. This volatility makes it difficult to plan too far ahead with confidence.
Because of this, we’ll be monitoring the situation closely in the coming weeks. Our goal is to handle any potential tariffs in the fairest way possible, and we’re also exploring ways to minimize their impact, including the option of manufacturing outside of China if needed.
There is a chance that these uncertainties may lead to delays in our timeline. If that happens, we’ll be fully transparent with you every step of the way. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this. Thank you again for your continued support, we’re committed to keeping you in the loop as things develop.
That’s it for now!
Once again, thank you all so much for supporting this historic campaign and helping make it truly epic, your support means the world to us. From here on out, you can expect monthly updates as we move through production and fulfillment. In the meantime, feel free to reach out anytime via email or in the campaign’s community comment section, we’ll do our best to respond as quickly as possible.
