Project Update: Funded and updates on tariffs and on seeking a manufacturer!
Sorry for such a long delay on an update!
THE GREAT NEWS! We are updating the back of the cards, and Brielle is working on a unique fox sticker that will be added to each deck box! I am really excited to show off this art. Look for it next week sometime.
Also, many companies have reached out about Foxy deck asking to work on it, and potentially carry it in their product lines! SO COOL! We are also working on a follow up deck of cards to release in the future:)
TARIFFS ARE NOT GREAT NEWS: Tariffs are the concern on many peoples minds. Same here. We have gotten some really wonderful estimates from China. However, due to 145% Chinese tariffs I have spent the past few weeks obtaining some manufacturing estimates from companies in Europe, Singapore, Taiwan, and Brazil.
Due to pretty much every creator in the world also seeking estimates from these few manufacturers that can create products at the quality that we are looking for its taken a lot longer than expected. They are being bombarded with requests.
Quotes out of China are not nearly as good price wise, but are good options considering the high tariff.
We have not yet selected our manufacturing partner due to us waiting to receive 2 more estimates.
THE GOOD NEWS: We are still on track to get these made and shipped to Backers this year.
I have personally worked with manufacturing on 6 games, and have quite a bit of experience bringing a product to reality. We have the cash to get this created. I have heard from several Chinese manufacturers that they expect the tariffs to drop much lower in the next few weeks which would really allow us to move forward quickly.
Thank you all so much for your support and patience! I will update you all again as soon as we have a manufacturer selected and provide an updated timeline for this wonderful Foxy Deck project!
If you have any questions, please post them here, and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
