Project Update: June Update: Status of Disparation
This past month, I've been focused on how to move forward in the world of Sentinel Comics. I don't yet know exactly what comes next, but I do know that everything has come to a screeching halt. That’s been difficult, to say the least. The files for this project are complete and have already been delivered to the printer and verified as correct, but right now, things are paused.
The official word right now is that we plan to go into production as soon as the tariff situation improves and ocean freight stabilizes and we are very hopeful we will be able to complete this project by Q4.
For my part, I will continue to push for clarity and movement, and I’ll keep posting monthly updates, even when there’s little new to report. I have a responsibility to this game, and of course, to you.
Thank you, as always, for your continued patience and support. I believe in this project, and I remain dedicated to seeing it through.

What is the plan? Why are tariffs an issue now from a BK project that is well overdue? You got your money. Cough up the product. How many lame excuses are we going to be subjected to? How much patience are we expected to have? CMON is in the same boat. Take the money and no product. You can do better.

Like, yeah it sucks being out the money for this when it looked so awesome... but what I really loved at this point was The Letters Page podcast. It was like, no matter how crappy life was (and it's been pretty crappy for me even outside of political things), there was at least new Sentinels each week. And FRG can't even use the tariff excuse there, because the podcast didn't require anything from FRG. It was paid at least in part for by the Patreon, and C, T, and A can always scale back to fit within the Patreon funding, or look for ad revenue, or something. And comments I've seen from C&A tell me it certainly isn't their idea to not be recording. What. Gives. FRG. Let the peeps record!
Project Update: May Update
I'm writing today under circumstances I never anticipated. As many of you may have already heard, Greater Than Games has undergone a significant reduction in staff due to the ongoing international tariff crisis. As of April 17th, our team has been reduced to just Paul, Adam, and myself.
This decision was made by our parent company, Flat River Group, in response to the severe economic pressures resulting from the international tariff crisis. As a result, all projects, including the Disparation expansion, have been put on hiatus until the current economic situation becomes more clear. The production of Disparation, which was in the process of being printed, has been halted at the printer. At this time, we lack detailed information about the current status of the expansion. We are committed to keeping you informed in future updates as much as possible.
Despite these challenges, Paul, Adam, and I remain absolutely committed to delivering Disparation to all of you. However, our current ability to act is severely limited. We will continue to provide monthly updates, as long as we are able, and we fully intend to resume work on this campaign when circumstances allow.
We are deeply sorry that this is happening and that you had to find out this way. We share in your disappointment and frustration. The staff of Greater Than Games were some of the most talented and dedicated individuals I've had the pleasure to work with over the last decade and a half. While many of them are already moving on to new opportunities, their sudden departure has left us devastated. Many of the projects we had in motion have come to an abrupt halt. Please know that Paul, Adam, and I are doing everything we can to pick up the pieces and find a way to deliver on our commitments to you.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.
