Hi everyone~

The Pledge Manager will be closed / locked today at the end of the day, so if you haven't entered your shipping address or confirmed your pledge items, please do so now!

We are hard at work getting the art files ready to be presented to the factory, and then there will be some back and forth with the factory reviewing the art proofs (which show how the art will be printed on the actual materials), and then we'll work toward getting a pre-production sample for everyone to see!

Thank you all again!

Hi everyone!

About 88% of you have completed your surveys (nice work!), but if you're one of the people in the last 12% who hasn't yet, please make sure to fill out your Pledge Manager survey by March 20th if you want to be sure to receive your games!

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page here.

After the PM closes, we'll be working with both GOTTA2 (the Japanese publisher) as well as the factory to get the games produced. =)

The production process typically takes a few months -- we submit art files, the factory comes back with art proofs, then the factory make a pre-production sample (PPC - pre-production copy) which they send to us and we review, and then depending on if it's good/approved, we will then head to mass production. After mass production, the factory sends us a 'mass production copy (MPC)' to make sure everything is all good and correct, and then the factory assembles all the games and prepares them for shipping across the ocean. After that, they'll come to our warehouse in the US or they will go to our fulfillment partners in other countries, and then they get shipped to you! We expect them to arrive at your doorstep sometime in Q3 this year.

We'll have updates along the way. Stay tuned!

Thank you again for your support--we're excited to get this tea party started!
