Hi everyone, lots to discuss and share again - so let's get going!
Book Production
Great news - as discussed in one of our updates last month,softcover books are currently being printed! We'll have more updates on that coming soon, so stay tuned!
Hardcover books are also coming along. We are almost in a final place with the slipcase sword, and hope to have a sample of that to share in the near future.
First Look At Enamel Pins and Acrylic Standees
Speaking of samples, we're pleased to share with you a first look at several items. First, here are the Blind Bag Enamel Pin Sets featuring the Disciplinary Committee dagger and shield designs with the Xyrus Academy logo, and the standard/rare editions of Note's mask:
Blind Bag Common Pin Set
Blind Bag Rare Pin Set
These pin sets will each come in their own sealed tear-notch bags!
Next, we have a look at the 2" Dawn’s Ballad & Jasmine’s Daggers Collector's Enamel Pin that is going inside the Premium Gift Box:
Finally, also included in the Premium Gift Box are the 4" Arthur and Sylvia Acrylic Standees:
LAST CALL TO ADD-ON BLIND BAG PINS AND GIFT BOX ITEMS!
With samples approved on many items, we are going into bulk production next week, so tomorrow (Friday, June 5th at 5pm PST) we will be turning off the blind bag enamel pins and premium gift box as selectable add-on items in your BackerKit survey.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SELECTED THESE ITEMS, YOU'RE ALL SET AND WILL NOT LOSE THESE ITEMS! :) By turning these items off, backers will no longer be able to select ADDITIONAL sets from what they've already selected.
With over 300 cards, 12 characters, dynamic date locations, evolving abilities, and multiple ways to play, EVERDATE is a replayable social card game packed with strategy, teamwork, humor, and romantic chaos!

Hi everyone, we have some more updates this week, so let's just dive into them!
We are getting ready to go into print on the hardcover illustration giclée prints that were offered as add-ons during the Kickstarter and in BackerKit surveys.
We will be turning off these items as an add-on in BackerKit surveys next Wednesday, May 20th. Not to worry, if you already selected any of these, they will remain in your cart. If you were still considering adding them, please do so soon!
Last Call On Sylvia T-Shirts and Size Selection
Additionally, we will be turning off the Sylvia T-Shirt as an available add-on in BackerKit surveys next Wednesday, May 20th. Not to worry, if you already selected this, it will remain in your cart. If you were still considering adding it, please do so soon!
There are about 30-ish backers who selected a t-shirt as an add-on on Kickstarter, but still have not completed their BackerKit survey, which is where you select the size that you want. Please do this soon, as we're going into production on the shirts by the end of this month!
First Look: Softcover Book Covers And Slipcase Proofs + Hardcover Production Update

Hi everyone, have a lot to share today, so let's jump right into it!
First Look: Softcover Book Covers and Slipcase Proofs
Yesterday evening, we received softcover book cover and slipcase proofs from the printer that we're pleased to share with you!
We have some minor notes, but we will be giving the printer the word to go into production by the end of next week.
Realistically, we think we could have these books to our fulfillment warehouse in about two to three months, and from there we can start fulfillment to backers who exclusively backed the $65 Standard Softcover Bundle.
Hardcover Production Update
Production on the hardcover books is progressing, and we will share physical proofs as they arrive. This is technically the most complex book we've ever produced and we have the manufacturer solving each element so that when these arrive to you they are perfect.
With that, we are going to be beyond the estimated July fulfillment for the hardcovers. While we don't expect to be egregiously behind and have been working in earnest with the manufacturer, there are a few elements of the book that are more complex than anticipated. We will update here with each step in the proofing process as elements arrive.
For future volumes, we won't encounter these same issues, as once they're solved for one book in the series, they are solved for all 12. In the meantime, it's important that you receive the highest quality, premium execution that was promised with no compromises.
Thanks for your continued patience and support.
