Kickstarter rewards and where to find them
How far are you into the preparation?
The major part of promised rewards are in the studio already. It waits for its shipment. But we haven’t started it yet. Let us explain the reason.
There are several items in each package. If at least one of the items is not yet ready, the package is considered to be not completed, so it cannot be sent. It is also impossible to ship in parts, when some rewards are ready, and others are not. There are a lot of addressees.
Moreover, many of them change their addresses of living, therefore the risk of confusion dramatically increases. Until all the rewards are ready, we cannot start the shipment. But, of course, we will start delivering all the kits to you without waiting for the most complex and expensive items like the handmade Executor’s masks.
And what kinds of rewards are not ready now?
CD disks with a Pathologic 2 soundtrack will be ready by the end of July.
The artbook will be printed by the “Eksmo” publishing house. It will take us a bit longer than we expected, but also will guarantee the highest quality possible. We’ve been looking for the publishing house for a while for both posters and artbooks. After a dozen color tests we have ensured that on the paper all arts look exactly as the artist intended. Printing will be fully completed by the 1st of August.
Executor’s masks turned out to be the most complex item to manufacture. Artisans have been experimenting with its form and the structure of its mount, so it could be put on the person’s head the way it’s been in the game. One of the masks is ready and we’ve approved it. We’re working on three others simultaneously. Masks will be ready by the end of August.
Brooches are already manufactured. The only thing left to do is to pack it, so it could be delivered to you safe and sound.
So what do you have right now?
All Tragician masks are ready, as well as improved ball-jointed dolls. We also have tavros and brooches, posters and maps of the city on Gorkhon. For those who had ordered the game after the first shipment, we’ve printed more copies of the Pathologic board game (russian version only).
It is also important that now there are team members who deal only with shipment, so this process could be organized better and faster.
So when will you start delivering reward kits?
As soon as it is fully stoked. The dispatch of kits that need only CD disks to be stoked will begin in the first week of August. Same with kits that are waiting for artbooks to be manufactured. Let’s hope the publishing house won’t have any problems with printing it, so we could start shipping it in the middle of August.Â
