Greetings world builders!
Another quick update. Sorry it's been a little longer than usual, I wanted to update you much sooner but had "no news", and wanted to give something substantial. Maybe no news is better than radio silence. I'll bear that in mind.
ATLAS completed manufacturing...I don't know, about 2 months ago now, and has been tucked up all cosy-like in crates waiting to be freighted (moved to begin shipping) to destination. It made the freight journey safe and sound, and has been asleep in the Chinese port ever since. Around a month or so...I know. Unfortunately this is the nature of the game at this stage.
My freight and shipping team, who are some of the world's best, have been updating me every week with what's been happening. It turns out there's an early rush for sea shipping to beat the Christmas/festive end of year rush, and all ships have been over-booked. Which means any stock they can't take onbaord gets "rolled" onto the next ship....and on and on. You can imagine my frustration.
The good news
I've just had a call with the team and been told that the USA and Canada ships have left China with ATLAS on board! So their journey has begun!
Next steps
These ships drop off ATLAS at their destination port, and are then freighted to the fulfillment hubs. These hubs sort the orders and post them directly to you, at which stage you'll get notified with a tracking link. So (and do take this lightly) USA and Canada backers should (SHOULD...) expect to get an ATLAS delivery at their doors within the next 6 weeks (3 weeks at sea, 3 weeks sorting and postage). Hopefully sooner rather than later...
Finger's crossed for no sinking ships, please.

Greetings world builders!
Another real quick update to let you wonderful folks know that everything is packed and ready to go! (That wasn't supposed to be a rap...)
Mass production is complete, and the manufacturing team have everything wrapped up ready for their journey! What happenes next? The shipment is loaded into the freight process, and taken to the docks to await loading onto the ship(/s), which will take them to their assigned fulfillment centre 'hubs' strategically placed around the globe.
My head spins just thinking about this scale :)
Here's another little video of some of the mass production processes!

Freight and Shipping - micro update

Greetings world builders!
Just a real quick update to let you know that mass production has finished (HOORAY) and the teams are just arranging final freight and shipping plans, which will presumably begin in the coming weeks.
I appreciate that this has been a long journey, thank you so much for being so supportive and, well, for making all of this possible! You guys are what this world needs, truly!
Anyway, that's the end. I'll post another update as soon as I know details/timeline for the next stage :)
Project we love - Studium | No Exit
I'm really excited about this one! Finally a game to tick all of the boxes of the board games that I love, in one package!
This one has sound, so prepare your ears! One of the awesome manufacturer team packing the GM screens :)
Timelines
Mass production is almost complete. The manufacturers have said we will likely push into next week as there was a delay with the card decks, but once that's all squared away we should be hitting freight (transport to the ship) right away! Once we're on water, ATLAS will be moving to various fulfillment hubs around the world, ready to go to your door! I'll update again once I have details of that.
UK Games Expo
It was really great to see you at the UK Games Expo last week, getting your hands on everything and having a play!! I've waited a long time to see your joyous faces enjoying ATLAS :D
Upcoming project - Plain Terrain battle maps
I'm really excited about this one, especially after seeing your faces playing with early copies at the UK Games Expo! I couldn't find anything like this for my home games anywhere, so I thought "well....I guess it's my next Kickstarter then" :)

Greetings world builders!
Well, there's May.
Timelines
Mass production is currently underway (manufacturing pictures incoming soon), and my manufacturers assure me that we're still on track to complete mass production around June 15th. From that point everything will be shipped to the distribution hubs in your area of the world (I'll get you a more accurate timeline on that as we move into that shipping phase), packed, and posted to you!

The UK Games Expo is the 3rd largest TTRPG and boardgames expo in the world, and it's THIS COMING WEEKEND!

If you're attending, do come and say hello, and play with ATLAS in person at booth 1-1007 (Hall 1)!
