Hiya, so I've been much harder at work recently, here's two updates in the same week! Not alot of talking this time, just a bunch of sketches and WIP stuff...

Backer-only update for August! Also heads up, but we did a purge of the Discord recently if you were unverified, please check the reward link for the new server or comment if you have any issues!

Updates are also mirrored on Patreon if you missed out on the campaign! https://www.patreon.com/nicojian

Following update is BACKER-ONLY! If you missed out on the campaign, support us on Patreon to check out a mirror of this update~ https://www.patreon.com/c/nicojian

Hiya everyone!
The We Love Cold War kickstarter is officially 300% FUNDED! THANK YOU to everyone who donated and pledged! (some important news for Backers though, please keep reading~)

Important things to note!:
Backer surveys will be sent out sometime mid-July so we can record your name for the "NAME IN CREDITS" tiers!
As well as your personal requests for illustrations/characters if you got the shikishi board tier!

Digital rewards will be made available in December 2026.
However, shipping for physical goods including the artbook, Atomic Briefcase, and other goodies will likely be in 2027, SHIPPING IS PAID POST-CAMPAIGN, AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAMPAIGN NOTES.
If this is an issue, we will see what we can do on our end to compensate higher-tier backers, however the cost to manufacture and ship everything is still not final at the moment, so postage costs need to still be collected once we are ready to ship in 2027.

End of History backers and above, are encouraged to join the Discord or reach out to me directly via email ([email protected]) with their receipt so I can co-ordinate the in-person screening scheduled for next year, March 2027 in Tokyo, Japan! (if you can't make it, we do offer a digital illustration commission as a consolation reward)

...Aaaand:
We crushed the 145k stretch goal to fund Episode 03: Apocalypse Nyow! But the amount we raised on paper ($165k) is MUCH higher than the actual amount of funds we have to start with (+ there's about $21k of failed charges, which puts the final tally at $144k, just short of the $145k Episode 3 goal)

If your payment failed! Please call your bank or whatever it is you need to do, since you probably got a week to fix that before we'd just cancel your pledge. If none of these options work, feel free to email me and I can arrange for a resolution. (like donating directly to Ko-Fi or what not)

Beyond that... Regardless of the amount we raised, we are PSYCHED and excited to finally get started full-steam on production for We Love Cold War!!

If you'd still like to support WLCW after the campaign, please consider our Ko-Fi, Patreon, or buying some merchandise from our store Capitalism Ho!
Any extra bit helps us to fund the studio, hire more artists and keep the series growing!
