For the production of the game, things are moving forward and the manufacturing as a whole has started, but the printing machines are not running yet.
So it's a bit hard to give substantial news because we are between two phases and we are just doing many many small things.
To clarify where we are at:
Typo verification on the rules is done and all the final content was integrated the last two weeks.
The print files are now ready and we are doing what we call a “prepress check”, basically we are in contact with a specialist at Panda who is in direct contact with the factory folks and looks at every details in the files (colours, density of pixels, legal indications, barcode, etc.) to make sure we don’t launch a 10K units production run with mistakes and poor quality files :) I’m doing that directly with them and it’s a huge work so it may take a few days of back and forth.
We are waiting to receive the “white copy” of the game to validate all the printed items format (sizes, number of pages, cardboard thickness, etc.).
We are waiting to receive the first production copy of the 1st player unicorn as it had to be modified for molding (the tail was too fragile).
We just got feedback on the trays to make sure we are ready to launch production on that part. It was a tricky part as we are putting together a new concept of tray using injected pulp instead of plastic, essentially to keep the use of plastic as little as possible in our games and because we believe that the injected pulp gives a nice warm touch :)
That’s all for now folks. I’m trying to be as descriptive as possible but I can’t give definitive ETAs yet. Be sure that when the machines are rolling, I will get you some dates !
