Without a Voice: Blooming Edition

Funding received and production complete!
6 months ago – Mon, May 20, 2024 at 08:34:17 PM

Hello everyone! I'm happy to report that Kickstarter has processed payments, and we've received all items from production to send out. We should be able to ship around June 10th -  please keep this in mind when filling out your addresses!

We'll be using BackerKit as our pledge manager for this campaign, so we'll be sending out survey links shortly for everyone to fill out their shipping information and pay for shipping. If there were any additional items you wanted, this is also your opportunity to pick them up! As production is complete, we have limited stock of all items and I can't guarantee we'll restock any of them, so please pick up any items you're interested in!

If you've pledged at the 'Queens of the Forest' tier, we've sent an email to your Kickstarter email address to get details for the custom digital portrait.

Thank you everyone for the support,
adirosa

Thank you!!

Thank you all so much for an incredible campaign!! All of our humble expectations and estimations were blown out of the water. We deeply appreciate your support and are so glad you all love our girls as much as we do!

At this point, everything that needed to be done on our end pre-production has been completed. Personally, I was so happy when we met the last stretch goal so I could return to the world of WaV once more to write a short story. I hope you all enjoy reading it in the booklet once they're out. 

As Adi said in the previous post (which also has shipping cost estimates), our files have already been sent off for production, so now we play the waiting game. I'm looking forward to everyone (including us) having this wonderful merch in hand very soon. We will keep everyone updated as we reach production milestones. Please be on the lookout for the Backerkit emails once we get closer to shipping. 

Thank you once again and we'll be back with more updates soon! <3

14 hours left?! Files sent to production - we have the standees!

What a whirlwind of a month and a campaign! Thank you all for the support, we've really reached the final day!

We've sent off our files to production, and our printed acrylic merch manufacturer already completed and sent the standees and keychains! I'm so incredibly excited to have these in my hands myself - I know they print beautiful looking standees. The keychains look great too, and I think the gold clasps suit it a lot! They're double-sided, so Cassidy is on one side and Elowen is on the other.

The photocard sets are due to arrive tomorrow, while the other items are still in production. While we listed estimated delivery to be in August, with luck it may be sooner!

We will be using BackerKit for shipping costs after the campaign, so please account for it accordingly. We'll make an update when it's time for everyone to keep an eye out for their emails. As a quick reminder:

Just over halfway..! Kickstarter postcard speedpaint & extra story completed!

Hello everyone again! Thank you so much for the continued support, it really is beyond all my expectations and I'm so happy to bring this game to you.

The extra short story for the booklet has been completed, so I'm currently working on formatting the booklet unlocked with the stretch goal and we'll be ready to send files in for production! (It's a lovely story told from Elowen's POV!)

In the meantime, I had a chance to sit down and compile the video clips of making the Kickstarter postcard into a speedpaint here:

I also wanted to address two things:

1. The game keys for the Blooming Edition will be distributed as soon as payments are finalized and processed! 
2. The items list for the 'Spirits of the Wind' set incorrectly includes the enamel pin. We can't change the tier now because people have pledged to it, so please be aware that this tier does not include the enamel pin, despite what is listed! The description has mention of this but I wanted to apologize for the error made.

I'm so excited to both get this game into your hands and also my own!!!

FULLY FUNDED... ALL THE STRETCH GOALS... Y'ALL AMAZING...
8 months ago – Fri, Apr 05, 2024 at 04:01:26 PM

Good morning everyone!!! I just woke up!!!!!!!!! Thank you all so much for helping us get to fully funded!!! And not only that - all the stretch goals!

I really was so worried about hitting the goal at all, much less getting all the stretch goals. Fully funded in 40 minutes!? You are all so incredible, thank you for the support!!

I'm super excited to show off the new illustration I did for the postcard! I think it's neat!!! I also recorded the drawing process of this illustration so I will try and get you all an edited video showing that soon.

And if you haven't yet - the base game has been updated to include full voices! The voice actors really did an incredible job so go check them out!!!

"So... What are the next stretch goals?"

If I'm being totally honest, there aren't any planned! I wanted to keep the scope manageable and sustainable while keeping prices fair, so (business hat) the margins aren't really high enough to fund new cool things while keeping us from going into a loss from the campaign.

Thank you all so much for this overwhelming support that made this into a question at all!!! I'm so excited to bring the physical editions of these to you all!
