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.
