Your Update for June 3
over 6 years ago – Sun, Jun 03, 2018 at 11:05:20 PM

So after a series of delays which we have chronicled in prior updates, the manufacturers have received the coins and have started the final design of the box insert.  Once that is completed, they will begin full production of the game!  Progress!!  I am excited to see this all happening and hope you all do as well.

Fortnightly Update

Hey everyone.
Our contact at the coin manufacturer got back to us this week and they were able to track the money sent to them and the proper people within the company were informed and the coins will be shipped to the game manufacturer.  I don't know if we will have to wait for a while or not to get back into the production queue once they receive the coins, but we will keep you informed on the progress. 
So to answer a question from the comments, there is enough money in the coffers to pay for the manufacturing, but we are unsure about the shipping at the moment.  once we are able to get quotes from all the distributors we will know better.

Also, now that the PnP was released for about a month, does anyone have any feedback?  I would love to hear how game play has gone

Hey Everyone.
I don't have a lot of progress again this time.  But the bank has done a trace on the money transfer and it was accepted into the account of the producer of the coins.  Unfortunately, they are not responding to our emails.  We are working to get this sorted out as quickly as possible.  Otherwise, I don't know what else to say in this update.  I know I am getting frustrated with the roadblocks that we have been dealing with this past while, but we are not giving up.
Unfortunately I have run out of production sample photos.  I will see what sort of behind the scenes photos I can scrounge up for next update.

Biweekly Update
over 6 years ago – Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 12:24:33 AM

Good day all.
So in our last update, I mentioned some bank transfer issues, which have prevented the coins from shipping to the printers.  The latest on that is that the bank is trying to track the money, as it has left the account but has not been received by the coin producer yet.  We we let you know when the transfer is completed.
In related news, Peter Wocken, the graphic designer behind Whelps to Wyrms and our previous game, Nautilus Industries, has co-founded a new company, Maple Games.  Peter has done amazing work for us and many other games as a freelancer, and I look forward to seeing the work he and the team at Maple Games will come up with.  You can see more about them at http://maple.games/

April 7 - Update

Good day everyone.  I hope you are having a good weekend.  What are the thoughts on the print and play so far?
So, as previously posted, the printing of the game is waiting on the delivery of the coins from the manufacture to the printing company.  Unfortunately this was delayed this past week due to some bank transfer issues.  Mike was away for a business trip and was unable to resolve that, but he will this coming week.  We will keep you update on the progress.
