Whelp… It’s finally here. The less than tariffic update you’ve all been dreading. If you support any other BackerKit projects, I’m sure you’ve already read similar updates regarding tariffs, so now it’s unfortunately our turn.
Like many other BackerKit projects, we’re caught in the middle of ongoing tariff-related chaos. Cargo shipments from China are backed up, and unfortunately, that means Drunkards, Druggies, and Delinquents won’t make its original summer shipping window. With the uncertainty we’re facing, we’re not able to give a new fulfillment date just yet.
Now for some good news— The tariffs are on us! Backers, as a thank you for helping bring this ridiculous, unhinged game into the world, we’ve decided to cover the cost of the tariffs. We understand you may have tariff-related uncertainty and, while we can’t stop tariffs from happening, we’ll make sure that they’re not passed onto you.
Thanks for sticking with us—this beast is worth the wait. Our artists packed it with eye-melting visuals you won’t be able to unsee, and Panda Games built it to survive every chaotic session and bad decision. It’s loud, it’s durable, and it’s coming your way soon(ish). And so will your surveys!
SPOILER ALERT: First Reveals – Here’sa couple of pre-production samples to tide ya over!
NOTE: It’s not the final product, but it’s close! We’ve made a few adjustments to the design and have adjusted the colors to be more vibrant for maximum black light reactivity as well!
And if you haven’t snagged a copy yet? No worries! Pre-orders for the game have been extended until further notice. You still have time to secure yourself a copy on Titmouse Stuff HERE.
We’ll keep sharing updates as we get them, and who knows—we might even have a few surprises planned around the game’s eventual release. Stay tuned.
Thanks for sticking with us. You all are the real MVPs.
Here again today after so long with lots of news! No use wasting the previous 0s and 1s on your computer with fluff so let’s get right to it:
DRUNKARDS, DRUGGIES, AND DELINQUENTS WILL SHIP IN AUGUST (exact date tba)
Right now, we’re just crossing our “I”s and dotting our “T”s so we ask for your patience for just a bit longer before we launch our Hot Monster Summer. Once again, we want to thank our wonderful BackerKit backers and want to emphasize that you are still our first priority and will thus be receiving the game first!
Right now, we’re working on finalizing shipping details. Once that’s settled, we’ll be sending out the BackerKit surveys to finalize your orders.
But wait! There’s more!
Moving forward, we’re moving preorders of the game over to our online store, Titmouse Stuff. Those of you who preordered already through BackerKit, you’re all set! For those of you who haven’t preordered yet, you’ll no longer be able to preorder through BackerKit and will need to go through Titmouse Stuff. Those of you who preorder through Titmouse Stuff will have your game shipped slightly later (September) than those who did it through BackerKit. Preorders through Titmouse Stuff will be open through the end of July for US customers only (for now; we’re working on this last part).
And now the least fun part of this message: tariffs. Right now, we’re monitoring them and how they may affect production and getting the game into your hands. No changes at this time, but we’ll keep you posted if something comes up.
We’ll still be updating this page when we have new information to discuss with y’all so please stick around! As always, we greatly appreciate your support and stay tuned for further info in the coming months/seasons.
We know it's been a minute since our last update... And for that we're truly sorry.
But we're finally B A C K — Just in time for Groundhogs Day!
Punxsutawney Phil's shadow may have predicted six more weeks of winter, but the silhouette of a larger, moredelinquent shadow,looms across the horizon...
