Hey Everyone,

Ray here with a March update! Apologies for not updating in February - first it was CNY followed by a lot of back and forth between us and the printer, which is still ongoing but we're close! Very, very close. 

Here are some pics of our recent proof samples along with some tales of production samples to go along with them:

The Book looks great in hardcover, though this digital proof doesn't have the Spot-UV layer that will be in the final. The cover image also needs to be nudged to the right around 5 mm to account for the fold on the left.

Interiors for the most part were clean, but we found a couple of messed up pages that had to be corrected.

The Pizza Box looks great, but we had an extensive discussion about the green color on it, and how we needed to key it to a specific Pantone color rather than rely on CMYK which wouldn't be able to express the full quality of the illustration. We also had a couple of issues with the side panels and inside panels printed upside down, but you can't tell in this picture! 

The Dice are nice and glossy and exactly how the renders look. No issues with these!

The Play Surface went through two revisions. We started with a glossy finish (top) but decided to go matte (bottom), which I think just looks a little nicer given the art. We also had to rotate the configuration of the images to make sure they folded properly.

No complaints about The Slugmix, which came out perfectly.

We did have to do a couple versions of the Enamel Pin, as somehow the original ended up being extra jumbo size. Something about inches and millimeters...

And we've yet to see the final proofs for the Stickers, though I'm sure they'll turn up great!

Here's another look at the book with the pizza box, all snug together-like. 

About to go into mass production, hopefully! Each component gets separately approved, and everything has been approved except for the book and the stickers. Then, we approve the final assemblage, and then everything gets packed, freighted, and off to the races are we! All told, we're about.... 60 days out, maybe? 

So, moving! We're moving... 

BONUS: A NOTE FROM MIKEY

Hi gang! While we wait for the new edition (It looks amazing, Ray!), I thought you might want to check out my newest game! It's called Two-Hand Path. It funded early last week and you still have a few days left to back it. Check out these images shared by playtesters!
