Thanks for your patience.

Any change of address needed? Send us mail at [email protected]. Our mail provider at GoDaddy changed back-end servers without telling us so we've had to change how we accept mail. 

All previous mail addresses are now dead. We're starting over with this one and will add as needed as each new one costs us. We can do aliases... but there's issues with that as well.. so... for now... [email protected] is how you get in touch. We can unlock your survey and allow any needed address updates.

Thanks and sorry for the fuss.

Spring Cleaning.

Its way past time.
Today the digital, tomorrow the physical

I went to write a new program for the Half-Cores and some other parts, and I did my pre-writing check to see if I had something similar. 

I ran into this:

This is only through the "o's"
This is only through the "o's"

 Yea, I hadn't realized it'd gotten this thick... but its not  usable like this.

Time to thin it out.

Nothing more to report... I'm drinking Cafe Verde from Starbucks, and cleaning digital house today.

2018
over 6 years ago – Sat, Jan 06, 2018 at 04:35:28 PM

New  year with new goals and rewards for us all.

So, here's what's up.

1. OrcaCon is happening January 12-14 here in Seattle (Bellevue actually) We're going and we're using it as a test of our new booth setup for the main event (Comic Con 2018 in March)

2. ComicCon is happening in March: We're going and we're going to present the best of what we've become so far. Check us out here: https://www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/en/Exhibitors/3952235/Zucati

3. We owe lots of backer rewards which we want to get done before ECCC. That leaves about 6+ weeks to get a mountain of work done and finish prep and stock for the show.

Here's the plan as of today: 

1. Finish and ship GM screens. We've got 90% about 60% done. Due to the nature of how these have to be made we've had to slow the process down to make sure they have time to properly air-dry and cure before we proceed into each next step. We had some serious failures before we found the right method, so these are going to take the time they do. But we've go literally stacks and stacks of milled and drilled panels ready for magnets and finishing. Heather, your portal is not started yet... .if the panels are hard, the portal is hard x10. We're getting the wood for it ready to plane this week and we should start on it next. When we ship your panel or need art for engraving, we'll be in touch, in the mean time, hang in there... your GM screens are not forgotten or lost, merely aging naturally as they must for now.

2. We're running as man Player Cores and Flumes as we can in the next few weeks to take to both conventions. We won't be selling Half or Quarter Cores, nor the same version of the Flume Fusion that were in either of those campaigns. We did work out an exclusive with ECCC so there will be a Flume Fusion version available at the show, but it won't be what anyone pledged for.

3. FLUME 2's  - Half and Quarter Cores - and FLUME Fusions will all be in-process during and after the GM screens are finishing and complete.

WHEN WILL  YOUR ORDER SHIP?

  • GM Screens before March 
  • Half and Quarter Cores March - April
  • FLUME2 - April-May (You folks with the prototype cases... these are going take longer... Juneish...)

All other stuff like the two metal dice campaigns are on schedule for February/March delivery.

That's what we know today.

Thanks everyone for your support and patience.

This project will be dormant for a bit while we work on some others we've been  stewing for a while now.

No bad news, no schedule changes.

All is well.
