Hello, my friend! I hope you’ve had a great month. We have some fun stuff to show you and tell you about in this update, so let’s get going.
Pledge Manager
First, we plan to lock the pledge manager orders by the end of May. We will announce the specific date as we move further into May, so stay tuned for that. Having said that, if you need to finalize your survey, now is the time to do it!
At the moment, 64% of backers have completed their orders, so we still need to hear from quite a few of you.
Regan Unlocked!
I looked at our preorder store today and saw something very, very cool. We are currently at $814,033. That means that we have officially unlocked Enlightened Regan! Woohoo!
Regan will now be added to every copy of Madness Reborn as our second Epic Investigator. We can’t wait for you to give this dynamic, dangerous new breed of investigator a spin! We’ll have more info about her in our next update.
Pictures from the Factory
The tooling process for the new Madness Reborn minis is nearly complete. To celebrate this upcoming milestone, here are a few pictures the factory sent us of the process and where they are now. Enjoy!
Here’s a picture of the initial plaster mold for a mini. The rubber mold is made on top of this.
After the plaster molds, we come to the rubber molds. These are used as the basis for the steel molds.
Here’s another look at the rubber molds.
And finally, we come to the steel molds!
Here is a steel mold being polished.
Here is another polishing picture, this time on the inside of the mold.
The mold is starting to come together now.
On to polishing the next mold…
You’ll notice a test sample lying beside this mold as it’s being worked on.
Look at that shiny steel mold!
Progress Update
Now let’s get into how things are progressing.
- Reprinted Materials
-
The miniatures’ manufacturing process for the reprinted products has already begun at the factory. They have almost finished all the prep work for the production process. After we settle the order numbers later next month, everything will get rolling in earnest.
-
We’ve finished the graphic and layout revisions for the printed materials. We are still working on proofreading but should make some good progress in this area in the near future.
- Madness Reborn
-
As shown above, the tooling process for the new miniatures is well underway at the factory. In fact, it’s now almost finished.
-
The game testing is finished. The next step is to work on the scenarios’ rules and background stories.
Okay, that’s it for this update! We’ll be in touch soon to let you know when exactly we’ll close the pledge manager and remind you before we officially finalize it. Have a great week, and we’ll talk again soon!
