First and foremost, please accept our sincerest apologies for the lack of updates over the past few weeks. We truly appreciate your patience and continued support.
As some of you may already know, the ongoing trade situation between the USA and China has significantly impacted our plans. Due to the recently announced 245% tariff on goods imported from China, it has become impossible to ship the game to the U.S. without drastically increasing the price — something we are firmly against.
Therefore, we have decided to delay the opening of the pledge manager. We want to ensure that we can offer the best possible deal to our backers without unexpected extra costs. Rest assured, no one will be charged at this stage, and we will continue to closely monitor the situation before taking further steps. We promise to keep you updated as soon as we have more clarity.
As for production progress:
✅ The base game of Age of Automaton is fully produced. We have also launched local sales in parallel, which allowed us to produce copies upfront.
📦 We can guarantee that every backer will receive a copy, regardless of the situation.
🃏 The promo cards are in the final sample-checking stage. The factory sent us a video clip of the samples last week, and we are currently reviewing them to ensure they meet our standards. Once approved, mass production of the promo cards will begin immediately.
We sincerely hope for your understanding regarding the pledge manager delay. We know this might be frustrating, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. Let's all hope for a swift resolution to the current situation.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment, reach out to us on Facebook/Instagram, or email us directly.

🎥 Factory Visit in China We had the opportunity to visit our production partner in China and review the promo card set for Age of Automaton. The samples looked great, and everything is in order. The cards are now officially in mass production and will be ready soon!
📉 Good News on U.S. Tariffs Here’s a major update for our U.S. backers — the tariff rate has been reduced to 30% for the next 90 days! This gives us the green light to open the pledge manager next week (after we return to Thailand). Based on current developments, it’s unlikely that the tariff will return to the previous 145% rate within that time.
💸 We’ve Got You Covered To show our appreciation, we’ll be subsidizing the tariff cost for our U.S. backers. We know this situation hasn’t been easy, and we’re doing our best to ensure you still get your copy at a fair price. Once you receive your game, we’d love your help in spreading the word by sharing a review or post!
Thank you again for your continued patience and support. We’re almost there!
We’re down to the final countdown — just 12 hours left before the Age of Automaton campaign comes to an end! ⏰
A massive THANK YOU to all of our incredible backers who’ve supported this project. Your enthusiasm and belief in Age of Automaton have brought this game to life, and we couldn't have done it without you! 🙏🎉
For those still on the fence, this is your last chance to grab Age of Automaton at an exclusive campaign price — along with all the unlocked stretch goals and promos! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of the journey.
