Personal Update, Factory Completion, and Freight!

Hey Everyone. I (Brandon) sincerely apologize for the lack of update over the past couple of months. Your support is what allows us to make great games and move forward as a company. For full transparency, we've been dealing with some family issues here at Wet Ink Games. We're a family company, and when something hits close to home we do the very best to support each other and keep things moving. Sometimes that is easier said than done...
While we were at Gamehole Con at the end of October, I received a call that my father had a stroke and was in the ICU. Being away during that time was particularly difficult. He was in the process of recovering since that time, but in early December, things took a turn. Long story short, he passed away on 12/13/23. He was always one of our biggest supporters and cheerleaders.
When it's all said and done, he would want us to keep doing what we do and would want us to keep making games you love.
Freight
With that out of the way, lets get to the exciting part of the update! Our factory has completed the game, Haunting Tales packs, and has assembled everything for freight. It's all on the way to our distribution center and we can't wait to get all of that fulfilled and in your hands! At Pax Unplugged we were able to show off the proofs/Prototypes of a bunch of item for various projects which will all be shipping together. The end is finally in sight and we know you'll love them. Check them out here!

Hey everyone! We're excited to share the news that the full physical proof is in and approved! Here are some pictures with how the game looks, and the components.
The Subtitle Text in the UV Spot Coating looks GREAT!!!
Rulebook on top with folded map right below it.
Markers in the well. There are tokens and a plastic bag also included.
Core Box with ALL Expansion Packs. How will all that material fit in that box!?!
All gameplay material in the box! Map and Rulebook go on top and fit perfectly!
Production Update

Hello Door-openers!
The game is currently being manufactured. This is a huge step! We were waiting to post this update until we had the production sample of the main game in hand. We don't have that yet, but it's time for an update. What we do have to show off is the expansion packs. They look great as far as we are concerned.
The stretch goal expansion packs for Home.
With stuff coming off the machines, the obvious next question is "when will they arrive?" Guessing is always fraught. Will they arrive in November, as we wanted? Almost certainly not. Will they arrive and move to fulfillment in 2023? Hopefully. We will continue to update you as we know more and when that production sample comes in, we'll open it up on camera.
In the meantime, here's the first of several interviews planned with the creative team behind Home. First up is an interview with Benito Cereno about his Haunting Tale; The Last Judgement. Really, though, we mostly talk about the Monster Cereals. Which, if you know Benito, is no surprise at all.
Thank you, as always, for your support.

Blank Proofs and Production!

(FYI, we've been alerted to a slight issue with the print and play files, so you all should be receiving an updated file this week. Now back to the update)
Blank Proofs are in. Though they aren't necessarily the most exciting thing in the world, they do give us a look at what all the components will look like in the box. We have one slight change to the box insert we're going to request, in order to facilitate storage of the expansion cards, but other than that, this looks good! Check out these images below!
Print and Play Files Available Now!

Print and Play SENT!
You all should have received an email with links to DriveThruRPG for complimentary copies of the Rulebook and the Print and Play files. Download them and check them out! Everything else is in with the factory, and they're going through proofing. They found an issue with the image resolution of one card back, but we think that is all resolved now. We can't wait to get a physical proof to show you! We'll do an unboxing video and we'll take a ton of pictures.
Many of you are already backers and aware that our campaign for our Fantasy RPG told through the eyes of Raccoons foraging through your trash is charging along full steam ahead! It's going strong and will wrap on Saturday, August 19th at 10 PM. Check it out HERE and consider backing and/or spreading the word!
