We have now received our first samples from our factory!

Overall we're more than happy with how everything is coming along. Of course we have some tweaks and adjustments to make at this stage before mass production starts, but we are very nearly there!

So lets start off looking at maps.

Here is a first look at the map pack for this campaign. This is a Backerkit Crowdfunding exclusive, these maps are just for backers!

I hope you agree they are looking rather good, and while we have tweaks to make in other areas, we are happy and these maps are signed off and good to go to print!




We have a sample of the Big Box of Dungeon Doors itself, which we will be taking a very very close look at in the coming days. There are some tweaks and amends, but (spoiler!) the doors themselves are AMAZING and it is so close to being completely perfect! When we've finished our review of the sample we'll post another video update.

At this stage in the crowdfunding timeline we start to move away from being designers and move into being project managers! Once we have approved manufacture we move onto shipping plans, fulfilment schedules and all that good stuff, which frees Matt up to draw more maps.

And speaking of Maps, Matt has been busy drawing more dungeons ready for our next campaign, which will be coming to Kickstarter in June.

Immense Dungeons - Digital Maps for Discerning Game Masters will follow the same format as our previous digital Kickstarter, Beyond the Blue Nebula (except this time it's Dungeons!). There will be dozens of ready to roll digital maps, as well as huge tile sets to create your own layouts and tokens to furnish them.

You can follow along to be notified on launch here - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gamingbooks/immense-dungeons-digital-maps-for-discerning-game-masters

We now have all the artwork for the doors signed off. Our Artist James Hayball has been hard at work, and we're very happy with the results!

So without further ado here are all the doors!

Now we are past Chinese New Year we are working with the factory to sign off templates and create our first digital proof! This is when we do things like finalise the box design, design the insert, sign off the door sizes, artwork sizes and all those details! It is the stage which takes a lot of attention to detail but we're super excited to get you these doors!

Once we have all the i's dotted and t's crossed we'll have the first sample produced. Assuming all is well then we can greenlight the mass production!

Once we start printing we'll be able to share a more detailed timeline with you all.

We will start to work on the pledge manager once we have the templates signed off. Simply because we need to confirm how big the box is and how much it weights so we can work out the shipping for you all!

So watch out for updates over the next month and once we're there we'll share news of the pledge manager!
