Project Update: Manufacturing and surveys.
Hey everyone, (bit of a long update)
Just wanted to give you a quick peek at what we've been working on behind the scenes.
We've got some exciting new artwork pieces on the horizon, and we're also thrilled about an exclusive piece we can't wait to share!

On the manufacturing front, we've had a bit of a shake-up and will be moving forward with a new partner. While the switch was necessary to ensure the card quality meets our standards I'm really happy to say that we've already been in talks and are in the final stages of finalizing things with a new manufacturer who I'm confident will deliver the quality we're all looking for.
We're also on track to send out the BackerKit surveys next week! This will allow you to finalize your pledges, add any extras, and provide your shipping information. Keep an eye on your inboxes for that. Once the survey data is in, we can get a clearer picture of everything and start commissioning those awesome new artwork pieces to bring the game to life.
On a slightly different note, if any of you have any ideas for new plant-themed cards, we'd love to hear them! Feel free to share your suggestions.
And finally, regarding production, things have certainly been a bit strange with the tariffs and China lately. It feels like a constantly moving target, but I think I've managed to wran my head around it
Thanks again for your incredible support and patience as we navigate these behind-the-scenes steps. We're getting closer every day!
Cheers Sam
Project Update: We did it! officially.
Kia Ora- Just wanted to start a community dialog around how backers might be able to help ease any tariff burdens, and encourage Flux Fish Games to consider that at least some of your backers might be willing to chip in to ease any tariffs that might still be in place when you get ready to ship (or rather when the slow boat finally arrives stateside). Perhaps open up a 'tariff tip jar' in the campaign manager with a transparent window into the added burden per copy? Maybe you could even dream up a special add-on pledge manager 'tariff card' that we can 'buy' that serves as the offset--I'm sure there's a native US 'protectionist' plant in nature you can theme it around! As for me personally (not sure who else this might randomly apply to) I'm a US citizen who now lives in New Zealand. I usually find it's cheaper to ship my crowdfunding games to my US address--aka my parents!--and wait to pick them up on my regular Xmas visit home. However, would it help to change my shipping for this campaign to New Zealand or does it nor matter if your entire distribution ultimately flows through a US port of call first? Regardless, just want to say your backers are in your corner and hoping you can weather this unexpected disruption with as little stress as possible. Cheers, Bret the Kiwi
