Hey everyone!
Just got back from getting a ROOT CANAL (yes, it's the worst), but I wanted to pop in and give you an update on the status of the different projects.
Can You See Them? Hardcover and Softcover
CYST is getting a secondary treatment to adjust some of the expectations. The original set will henceforth be known as "the Director's Cut," and the new version will have a little more narrative drive for you. Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback.
Because the quality of the Mixam books was so-so, and you almost unanimously agreed to wait a little longer to make them a bit nicer, we'll be printing the books overseas to ensure that it has lots of nice little bits with them. Bob's coordinating that now.
Assuming no hiccups, those should go into production soon and be in their final destinations, probably by the end of the summer.
The Diner, Arcade, and Horror Softcovers
The Arcade is nearly complete. Once it's done, I'll have all these cleaned up and ready to go for you as a package. That way, even though you're waiting for CYST to finish up, you'll have these. All of these are printed at local destinations via Mixam or KDP.
You can expect these to start shipping relatively soon. We just got a new location we're using, so we might wait until we have that, but it has a full shipping facility.
VHS Sets
Everything going into the VHS sets will be made here in the US. We're just waiting on components for them at this point, as well as the finalized Arcade.

Additional Add-ons
Xanthophobia will come last as it was the last thing added, and I plan to have this printed overseas, too, so it's got all the fun bells and whistles. But I can't imagine it coming later than August/September. PDF, of course, will come out far before that—the censored version, that is.
Other smaller add-ons like GM Screens, pins, and so forth will go out on a case-by-case basis. For example, if you're waiting just for the hardcover and all you got was one pin, we'll wait for it to print. But if you went all-in and you're just waiting on Xanth, we'll send the pin with everything else. If you have any questions about this, let us know.
The shirts are coming from Printful, so those will probably ship directly from them.
Bonus PDF
Because the shipping schedule got backed up a little, I'm going to toss in a bonus PDF for everyone as a way to say 1) thank you for your continued support and 2) thank you for being patient. We didn't expect the campaign to do as well as it did, so it's changed our schedule a bit. So this extra PDF will be a way of saying thanks. I'll host a poll for it soon.
Let us know if you have any additional questions, concerns, etc. And thanks again, everyone!
