Hey everyone!

I am super proud to say that we have already sent on the digital files to our manufacturer, so now we move on to the next phase. This means we're actually a few days AHEAD of schedule, which is kinda unheard of!

Now, you may be wondering what Phase Shift's stance is on the tariff situation. I've hesitated to create a video, because things are changing almost daily, but I'll quickly summarize the points I would make in such a video now:

I believe the tariff situation will have been resolved by the time this game is ready to freight out of China. As we get closer, if this is not the case, then of course we'll work to adjust some aspects.
To the latter point in #1, we're purposely holding off on launching the pledge manager until the dust settles from the tariff situation. This will allow us to have as close to perfectly accurate shipping, tax, and tariff amounts properly accounted for.
None of this is stopping or even delaying us moving forward with this project! No matter what, we are entering into the manufacturing phase. If the worst case happens (if the 145% tariffs remain in place) by the time we're ready to start the freight process, then we'll likely hold back the US shipment in China a little longer, as many other publishers have indicated they are doing as well. I *may* decide instead to freight the US inventory to our Canada hub, so that when the tariffs are finally lifted I can quickly truck everything down to our Wisconsin warehouse, rather than wait in line for a container and boat. But again, this is all assuming the tariffs haven't been fully resolved by this point, which is a couple months from now.

That's about it for now - in short, things are proceeding SUPER smoothly, and I can't wait to start showing you the PPC and MPC samples once they arrive.

Cheers!
