Review Process Update

Hi all,
In our last update, we gave the steps we're taking to get this game manufactured. Step 1 was the review process. This took our manufacturer the full, maximum 2 weeks to get back to us with any issues. And yes, we had issues.
All of our art is amazing, because it's Zenescope art, so why wouldn't it be? And the cards, packaging and everything else look awesome too, thanks to our designer. The issue was with the files. We had created the files using the same method we did for the prototype. However, we are using a different manufacturer for the game, thanks to the need for randomization of the booster cards, which the previous manufacturer couldn't handle.
So, we have spent the last few weeks not working on art, but working on the files. Shis manufacturer has a very specific ingestion process. We are submitting all of our changed files by the end of this week. They will need to be reviewed again, but hopefully this time, with their guidance, we will have everything properly prepared and ready to finally go to the sample phase next.
Not what we had thought, but still all moving in the right direction. And since you've all been so patient and waiting, here is a first look at some of the booster cards that you can expect in your games! Enjoy!
Charging Cards on BackerKit

Hi all, now that we are moving forward with production, we'll finally be charging cards on BackerKit. I believe you will get a notification from them, and a few days notice before they actually charge, but wanted to let you all know here that we're moving along, and this is a part of the process we now need to handle.
Thanks again all! Be on the lookout for an e-mail from BackerKit shortly!
Long Overdue Update - Manufacturing!

Hello all,
We've seen your comments, and have been waiting for information from our manufacutring partner before we got back to you. Well, here we are with a BIG update!
We had missed getting this project in before the Chinese New Year. Now that the manufacturing team is back, we are finally through their queue of projects and heading into review! Here's a breakdown of some ESTIMATED timelines.
Review is slated to begin either next week, or the following, and if all goes well, takes around 2 weeks. After that period, we wait around 3 weeks for a proof/sample of the game as it will actually be produced. Once that is approved, we start the actual manufacturing, which is an 8 week process. Once that is done, it can take up to 6 weeks to get on a boat (which only leaves once it's fully loaded with freight), and get to America. Right now, I'm assuming the boat comes into the west coast, meaning it will be trucked to our warehouse in Maryland, taking 1 more week.
Once all product arrives at our warehouse, we're estimating around 3 weeks, give or take for the sorting, packing and postage for everyting. So, with all that being said, right now, we're targeting a September fulfillment.
I know we are later than expected, but after hitting quite a few speedbumps that we were unaware of, I'm very happy that we're feeling the momentum again of getting this project made. We appreciate your patience with us, and we know you'll love this game once you get your hands on it!
Now that we have some milestones coming up, we'll be sure to update as we progress through the process. Thank you again!
Card Randomization - Charging Cards
5 months ago
– Fri, Dec 26, 2025 at 04:40:00 PM
Hi all, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Since our last post, we have made a TON of progress on the randomization. I don't think we really knew what we were in for with all of the minutiae that goes into that. This being our first game, we just assumed "give manufacturer art and designs", and that they'll just take care of the rest.
Well, after SEVERAL e-mails back and forth working on the randomization of the cards, to ensure that you all get proper ratios in your booster packs, boxes AND Z-Rated cards, we have made significant headway. I feel confident that we'll be able to start the physical manufacturing by Mid-January.
With that being said, we've been waiting to charge cards on our BackerKit pledge manager until we hit the actual GO button here. So, expect cards to be charged in mid-January as well for the BackerKit pledge manager.
Have a wonderful holiday, amazing New Year, and we look forward to delivering you this game in 2026! Thanks for your support and patience!
Production Update

Hey all,
Checking in with an update for you all. We were hoping to have manufacturing started before Thanksgiving. However, we need to take a little more time with the card randomization part of all of this. Long story short, as we were about to "press the button" to start, we realized that the randomization was not going to be up to par.
We are taking a little extra time to make sure that we are handling this important part of the project correctly, and that fans will be pleased with the assortment of cards found in every pack and box of cards. We don't have a definitive timeframe in place, but hoping to start manufacturing before the Christmas holiday. This pushes back our January delivery date, but we will keep you updated throughout the process.
We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding of us doing our best to deliver the best possible product to you all!
