Latest Updates from Our Project:

Production Begins!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Dec 01, 2022 at 12:02:59 AM

Hello everyone!


After a month and a half of hard work, we can finally announce: "Masquerade Tarot is in production!"

We know that it has been a few weeks without news, but we have some pre-press issues, adjustments and corrections has been slower than expected given that the pre-Christmas whirlwind caught us, so factories have been focused these weeks  taking out the Christmas sales material. So that has set us back a few weeks longer than expected

The layout and design of the different components has been meticulous. Emphasis has been placed on the visibility of details and lines. We've had to make minor tweaks to the box and insert on the fly and design the box for the Eastern Winds expansion.

 At the same time, various printing tests for the playmats and bags were carried out with our secondary manufacturer. But both components are fully manufactured and en route so that our main manufacturer can assemble them with the rest of the components in the final box.

 "Sorry for the bad quality of the photo, in the next update we will try te upload better photos!"

All cardboard components are in production, and the time window for this step is extended to 8 weeks. The manufacturer will send us photographs of the different steps made during the production, and we will be happy to share them with you. 

As a resume:

  • Cardboard components: In Production
  • Textile components: Finished
  • Pins and prints: Finished

 "Final print layout for the deluxe box of Masquerade Tarot"

 See ya in the next update!

The first components have arrived!

Express update!

Hello everyone! We can write you multiple lines telling you boring states of production, printing, etc... But why write when we can show you  some good photos of  what we have at home?

We are more than happy with the quality of the received components.  Rest assured, everything is going in time, we hope to have more news and images soon!

See you soon!

Backerkit last days reminder and production update!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 05:53:07 AM

Backerkit surveys deadline is near!

There are only 2 days left until the Backerkit pledge manager closes and we still have many Backers who have not filled in their shipping details and paid the shipping costs. We remind you that while we do not have your data we cannot send your rewards in the future. So c'mon, go to your backerkit page and help us collect all the reamining info!


If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://https://masqueradetarot.backerkit.com/


Quick Schedule:

1) 30th September: Orders' locking

2) Locking shipping addresses: Once the games are in hands of our Fullfilments centers, some day    between November 2022 - January 2023


Production Queue


On our part everything goes as quickly and controlled as possible, we have already contacted factories for materials printing. In fact some limited materials like pins, bags and prints are in the manufacturing queue. We will receive them in the next 2-3 weeks. Once we have in our hands we will share some photos of them!


Remember that the queue in some factories is 10 weeks long and logistical issues can create incidents from October due to Black Friday and the Christmas campaign, which could delay some processes since we work with different suppliers. Even so, we will try our best to get everything ready as soon as possible, and as always, before the promised date.
 

Limited Stock

We are going to manufacter a very limited quantity of Tarot units, so if you are interested, pre-purchasing it in backerkit is critical, since there will be a very limited stock and will obviously be reserved for our backers and pre-purchasers leaving us very few reamaining units to put on our website store.

August delay


We are very sorry to have taken so long to get things ready throughout August. But the work behind the scenes has been exhaustive. We have thoroughly tested the Backerkit platform before releasing it to the public, and have prepared the Pre-Order store, also, the Eastern Winds cards are almost complete and the project is on track to meet estimated shipping and production times, which is always our priority.

As you can imagine, the Fatum Studio staff has also enjoyed a few well-deserved days off, returning to work with enthusiasm and high spirit.  ;)

What we have experienced these days with you has been incredible. We have feel from the very first day all the strength and support from all of you, the trust you have placed in us gives us the energy to face the road ahead with redoubled spirits. 


And even we have not reached the 100K stretch-goal, it is fair of us to take it for granted, and offer all buyers of the box its PDF version both in English and Spanish.


We would have liked to be much more communicative during the campaign, but for reasons beyond the campaign we have suffered a move and change of company headquarters and not precisely for vacations ^^U. But that doesn't mean we haven't been working hard, and we'll show that effort in future updates soon.

We would like to share many things, but it is best to use this update to give information about the steps we are going to follow in the coming days.


WAITING TIME: for the backers there is a waiting period while the kickstarter processes the payments. they are usually 14 days.


DOTTORE PLEDGERS: We will contact you shortly to start working on your commissions, stay tuned for the email!

PLEDGE-MANAGER: once Kickstarter ends, we will open the Pledge Manager for Backers as soon as possible. We have everything ready, there you can complete the order by paying the corresponding shipping costs, you can also add add-ons or additional packs to your liking.

As told, we are using backerkit platform for our pledges and pre-orders, it is an easy to use tool, and you have a service of support from both of us and the helpfull backerkit team.


PRE- ORDER: The Pre-Order store in Backerkit will be ready soon, where those who haven't arrived on time can join the pre-order. You can preorder some of our products (those that are not limited editions) Be patient, we are working on it.

Surely we forget something, but surely we will remember and we will say it in the next update. once again give you a big hug and offer you our eternal gratitude for all that you have achieved!


YOU ARE THE BEST BACKERS AND FRIENDS WE COULD HAVE DREAMED!
