Things have been moving along with Dreams of Yesterday! I submitted the files to manufacturing and they've made the proof copy. They sent along some photos, too!
Dreams of Yesterday Proof Copy
Motley Proof Copy
Manufacturing is in the process of sending the games to me and I should be getting them in at some point in May. After the games come in, I'll make an update with more photos, as these photos are nice... but there could be more!
Once the proof copies get in, I'll go through both games, making sure everything is great and correct. This might mean that mistakes will be found and files will need to be updated. As such, if I had to estimate, I'd think that the playtesting, fixes, and second round of manufacturing checks could take 2-6 weeks after I get the games. The estimate is a bit open, as fixes take longer than not needing fixes and Origins is happening in June. Convention preparation tends to mean that other things don't happen as fast as I'd like.
I'm also working on the pledge manager! I need to verify all the weights for the games so this can't be complete until the games arrive, so hopefully the pledge manager will also be ready in the next month or so, as well.
In Closing
Things are moving along and I can't wait for you all to experience Dreams of Yesterday! We're more than on track to deliver before the end of the year and might even start shipping in September, if all goes well. But there can be delays!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or anything else you can comment below or submit a help ticket. I highly recommend the help ticket option as BackerKit doesn't notify me when there are replies and I check here if I remember... but the help desk sends notifications.
