Games Are Done!!

I'm excited to annouce that the factory is all done manufacturing and packing our 3000 games! Of those games, 1500 units will be trucked to the airport this weekend and shipped via Air Freight from Hong Kong to the following 5 regions: USA, Canada, England, Germany, and Australia. It will take about 1 week for the games to arrive in each region. After that, our fulfillment partners will sort, pack, and send out each order. Some Kickstarter orders (like Russia, Thailand, Japan, etc) will remain in China and be shipped directly from there.

This is me, happy to be holding a real copy of my first strategy game!

We do not foresee any delays in this upcoming stage, but I'll keep you posted as the story unfolds.

Early Production Sample

We got an early production sample from the factory yesterday via Fedex. Here are 2 videos showing some of the yummy contents of the Victory Level box. Enjoy my amateur editing :)

Factory Preview of Warrior Level

We just received new images from the factory for our different levels! Here is a preview of the Warrior Level. I'll be sending more images from the other levels soon.

Looks like things are moving along well so far. Keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth process of shipping and fulfillment. Soon, when games are all done, we'll express ship the goodies to you. Still aiming to get items shipped out to each country on August 18th.

Your Rules in 3 Languages

For those of you eager to read through the finalized Draconis Invasion rules, I'm sharing the PDF files below in English, French, and German.

A huge thanks to the many backers who helped us proofread and sent us feedback. You guys rock!

The Terror of Delays

We regret to tell you that, due to some problems with the Terror Dice, delivery will be pushed back... to mid-August.

Explanation: A few weeks ago we were informed that the Terror Die did not turn out as planned. We received this image below. As you can see, the numbers were not centered properly. I requested for this to be fixed, but it meant modifying the mold and delaying our production schedule.

After fixing the mold, a second issue arose. I recently received the updated samples shown below.

The Special Edition version of the dice were designed to have silver numbers, but there was a mistake and they simply look white rather than silver. We are currently in the process of fixing the color. We apologize for these new delays.

Increasing the Terror Count

On a related and more positive note, I thought I'd share this video. It shows how the Terror Die is designed to count up in the game.

One of our amazing backers ("Valpartajeux") made a Print-N-Play version of Draconis Invasion in FRENCH!

All of the cards now have a French translation directly on the card. If you are a French-speaker looking to print a version with French text, I'm sharing the download link here:

Thank you Valpartajeux for your sweet contribution!

A Short Update with Lotsa Pics

Last week we received a big package in the mail from the factory with our digital proofs. The print quality look amazing. Much better than the prototype version of the cards we were using before. Here is a look at some of the proofs. Please excuse the insane glare.
