We are on track in making A Land Once Magic a reality! We have just locked the manuscript after Ru's edits which means the next step is layout! I can't wait to see how Luna brings this book to life and will share some preview spreads in our next update.

With our stretch goal unlocked, we were able to get more incredible art from John Gagne to use in the book. Here's a preview of some of the additional pieces you'll see in the final product.

Viditya and I have been in love with John's art from the beginning of working together on this project and we can't wait to fill these pages with more of his unique imaginative style.

We are on track for Fall fulfillment! We should be heading to production by July which means books in hand hopefully in September/October. I know there has been a lot of uncertainty when it comes to tariffs but as far as we have been advised so far, this project should be exempt from the elevated tariffs. If anything changes on that front, we will let you know immediately and transparently.

That's all for now! Hope to have some more exciting peaks into the book to share in our next update. We will also be getting surveys out between now and then. If you or a friend missed out on the campaign, we are currently accepting preorders.

More soon!

...except for a few stragglers! All international backers' orders were sent out by our fulfillment partner Peregrine Coast Press on 1/10. Keep an eye out for them in the coming weeks!

A reminder for EU backers that your VAT has been prepaid! You should not need to pay any imports on your package arriving. 

When you get your game in hand, we would love to see pictures out in the wild! You can tag us @moreblueberries and @vidityavoleti on most platforms.

Please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if you encountered any issues with your order. For folks outside of the US, please give it until the end of the month before emailing about a missing package as they may be in transit still. 

One final massive thank you from me and Viditya for helping this project come to life. We are so proud of A Land Once Magic and can't wait for the worlds you will create with it.

Make infinite worlds,
Elliot & Viditya

moreblueberries' next campaign is coming to Zinetopia! Two new zine games by Robin Ekberg and Dillin Apelyan - Pre-save Now!

...are on their way! Tracking emails went out this morning so keep an eye out for that! There are a few additional US packages left to go out based on when you filled your survey out. There is also a number of you who have yet to fill out your survey! We can't ship out your books until you do so please fill that out as soon as you can!

Everything for international backers is headed to our international fulfillment partner Peregrine Coast Press this week. The hope is that your packages will be in the mail next week. Unfortunately, this does mean they are unlikely to arrive before Christmas. My sincere apologies for the delay here! With the timing of PAX Unplugged and Thanksgiving here in the US, we weren't able to get packages together until this past week.

A reminder for EU backers that your VAT has been prepaid! You should not need to pay any imports on your package arriving. 

When you get your game in hand, we would love to see pictures out in the wild! You can tag us @moreblueberries and @vidityavoleti on most platforms.

If you have friends who missed out on pre-orders or backing, the full game is now available for purchase! You can grab it in digital or physical and it makes a great Christmas gift.

This will probably be one of the final updates for this campaign. Thank you so so much for your support and enthusiasm for this game. We can't express enough gratitude for your help in making it real!

Make infinite worlds, never stop telling stories, create art with others!

...on A Land Once Magic! All of the books and notebooks have arrived and we are working on getting the bags stamped and bundled. 

We are going to be entering fulfillment over the coming weeks so here is a bit of an information and logistics dump for that process. 

The PDFs are finalized and will be sent out once orders are locked later this week!

We're going to be moving through the fulfillment process relatively quickly in order to get packages out to you by the end of November. 

Orders Locking Wednesday 11/12 - You'll have until this Wednesday to make any adjustments to your order.

Shipping Rates Added 11/14 - A reminder that we have not yet charged shipping for your orders. The shipping charges will be added in hopefully by the end of this week once we finish crunching the international rates. Once those are in...

Cards Charged 11/17 - Once shipping rates are all input, we'll be charging cards ~3 days later.

Locking Addresses 11/19 - This will be your last day to update your address for fulfillment. You will also be able to choose "in-person fulfillment" for PAX Unplugged if you'll be in attendance (more below).

From there, we will be shipping packages over the last two weeks of November! 

If you are attending PAX Unplugged 2025, you will have the option to pick up your order in person. If you are planning to do so, Local Pickup can be selected from the Shipping Address page of your survey.  Local Pickup is located in the 'Country Field' of the shipping address. You can then put 'N/A' in all other fields for your address.

We are partnering with Peregrine Coast Press to keep shipping down for backers outside of the US. For folks in the EU, your shipping charges will be inclusive of VAT so shipping might appear higher than expected but that is because it will cover import fees you would otherwise pay when you receive your pledge.

Apologies for the long logistics email! We're excited to get the books to you and appreciate your patience as we navigate fulfillment around PAX (our biggest convention of the year!).

Thank you so much for your support,

Elliot & Viditya

We are so thrilled to share photos of the first ever copies of A Land Once Magic! We've received the first copies of the book and the notebook and they are such magic little objects. We can't wait for you to get to hold them yourself!

For now, enjoy these photos:

We couldn't be happier with how the book and notebook have come together. The open spine is the special little touch we hoped it would be. The paper stock feels so good. John's art and Luna's design came together perfectly. Thank you for supporting this vision we had for a unique little pocket-sized book!

So we have the first copies. What about the rest? The full print run is on its way to us and should be in hand by the end of October. That means we should be in fulfillment the first half of November, with hopefully all copies out before US Thanksgiving.

A reminder that you have not yet been charged for shipping and that charge will show up when we lock addresses.

Thank you so much again for supporting A Land Once Magic! Our next update should be in the thick of fulfillment.

More soon!
-Elliot & Viditya
