Thanks so much for your patience -- not to get too mushy, but things in my personal life have been rather volatile lately, which has jostled my priorities and available time.
But things are finally calming down and Phase 1 of shipping is officially done! Here's where we stand:
US shipping of Nuclear Strudel Chapter 1, Oracle cards, and stickers: DONE
INT. shipping of Nuclear Strudel Chapter 1, etc.: In progress
US/ INT. shipping of Quantum Marmalade Chapters 1-4: Delayed -- Chapters 1, 2, and 4 are good to go, but there's been a delay in reprinting Chapter 3
Phase 2 should hopefully be completed within the next week or so, and I have QM Ch. 3 with the printers, so I'm estimating finishing up with Phase 3 in the next 2-3 weeks.
Again, thanks for your patience and please reach out if you have any questions or issues. Cheers!
Wow, what a terrible week it's been. We here at Quantum Marmalade Studios have always stood proud for human rights, women's rights, and inclusive and progressive policies. The Quantum Marmalade team itself has individuals from six different countries, all working together to make dumb jokes about strudel pastries. We fear for the future, but hope that we can bring you some small amount of joy, even as there's precious little to celebrate in the coming days.
On that note, some (very) small good news -- we've received the print copies of Nuclear Strudel Chapter 1:
The Oracle Cards have also been printed, which means we almost ready to start shipping! We'll hoping start sending things out within the next 1-2 weeks, but we'll let you know if we hit any delays.
Thanks, all -- stay safe; our best to you and yours,
It's been an awesome campaign this time around -- participating in Booktopia was a real treat! We met a bunch of incredible creators and did our first cross-collab project. I'm feeling a lot of gratitude this morning.
Speaking of which, be sure to check out The Fractured Balance project (our collab partner) if you haven't already.
And just a final reminder that we've met our stretch goals, so everyone at a print tier gets free stickers!
If you're considering switching to a print tier -- now's the time!
And finally, a shout-out to all of you! Some of you have been with us since the beginning:
Again, we're feeling incredibly grateful for your continued support -- that you still believe in us. Still believe ... like this, obviously 😂😂😂
You're all wonderful! I'm going to go play shirtless saxophone now (like I do every Thursday morning). I'll be in touch soon with survey/ fulfillment/ shipping updates,
We reached out second STRETCH GOAL!! So, now everyone who is at a PRINT tier gets a bunch of free stickers, both the WUB WUB design, and the Skull-Lotus design. All new print tier supporters will get the stickers as well, and also those who are at a digital tier and switch to print --
If you've been considering upgrading to a print tier, now's the time!
I'd send you the cat as well, but she already has travel plans -- she informs me that she'll be "spending the Fall in Paris." No idea how she's planning to get there, but she recently saw Ratatouille and, quote, "I'm gonna need to eat all those rats, please and thank you."
Also, just a reminder that if you upgrade to a print tier, AND support the Fractured Balance campaign (also at a print tier), you automatically get all six Oracle Cards! Comics and stickers and oracle cards, oh my. Also, please take a picture of yourself eating a strudel pastry and send it to me -- that's honestly the real purpose of this campaign 😂
Recommendations
And before you go, I have 2 (3) more awesome recommendations for you:
Really cool story idea and artwork here -- this is a new graphic novel published by Zombie Orpheus Entertainment. And given the recent success of Black Myth Wukong, I feel like the Journey to the West storyline is in the ether and this is a fresh take on that adventure :) Here's the description: "Inspired by young-adult graphic novels like Runways, Amulet, and Zita the Space Girl, American Genuises introduces a class of gifted teenagers who are pursued by the Monkey King... a supernatural prisoner who has been searching for geniuses to help him stage a daring jail break."
And also, Grandmaster A quick note that Zombie Orpheus Entertainment actually has TWO projects running right now, and if high fantasy is more your style, you should check it out!
"In 1987 Mercedes Lackey introduced the world to Valdemar with Arrows of the Queen. Now, more than forty Valdemar novels later, we're excited to crowdfund the first deluxe volume in the Mercedes Lackey Library: GRANDMASTER. This collection of Misty's Valdemar short stories and novellas—previously spread across more than a dozen anthologies—is available exclusively on BackerKit as an audiobook and a collectible leather-bound limited edition."
Speaking of fantasy adventure, Sombulus looks like a fun romp that fans of Nuclear Strudel will enjoy :) Lot of world-building here, fun magics, and strong characters. Plus, I like to puzzle element of the story, which gives it a pseudo video game vibe! Here's the description:
"Three world-hopping adventurers - a flippant magic scavenger, curious tinkerer, and zealous paladin - solving the weird magic problems they find and the ones they create! An all-ages fun fantasy graphic novel series!"
