Hello! 

So as you likely have heard from so many other crowdfunding campaigns (maybe even my other enamel pin campaign) - the tariffs on China are now 145%. Yeah, that's wild. 
 
Sooooo, what does this mean? I budged for tariffs of 30%, but basically doubling the cost of production and shipping has completely turned this project on it's head. And yes, for anyone asking - I did inquire about domestic production - and the quote was roughly 4x the other overseas manufacturers. 
 
I'm currently exploring options with the factory I was in talks with for production, and am now reaching out to see if there are other producers in other, less-tariffed countries. I'd like to say I've been working hard on the lore zine and production of all the other things, but trying to figure out how to actually make this game has been taking up all my time and energy. 

Thanks again for your patience, and I hope to have better news and more updates soon. 

Best regards,
Rick
