Armory Pack, Linked Weapons Pack, and Uncle Al's Upgrade Pack Tooling Pics
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 01:51:25 AM

The first card samples arrived over the weekend, so Sam and Sabrina spent their Saturday and Sunday reviewing the tooling samples so that we could provide GPI with feedback first thing this morning. There was a single card error -- that will be fixed -- and otherwise, we're happy to report that this first round of card pack tooling samples passed! 

While we wait for the next samples to arrive, here are photos of the three card packs that Sabrina shot once she finished her review checks.

Update Tooling Samples, New Pics!
over 3 years ago – Sun, Sep 27, 2020 at 02:50:23 AM

No significant news this week. The latest round of cars are (mostly) approved and the minis were sent back to the factory so they can start cutting steel for the last of the minis. At the moment, we expect to start receiving all of the paper tooling samples (boxes, cards, rules, etc) in October. We will share pics of several of those items once they have arrived.

Updated Sculpts Arrived Early!
over 3 years ago – Fri, Sep 11, 2020 at 10:35:18 PM

As mentioned last week (posted here), we were expecting updated sculpts to arrive late next week. In a surprising twist, the new round of sculpts wrapped up at the factory early and the sculpts reached Sabrina today. No news yet on the latest versions -- she needs time to review the sculpts and then has to drive them across Austin so Sam and Ben can review them -- but we'll know more next week after they spend the weekend studying these updated sculpts.

Minis Update
over 3 years ago – Thu, Sep 03, 2020 at 08:15:42 PM

After another round of revisions and checks, we have identified a small number of cars that need to be reworked so that they are sized correctly. With the game's base-to-base collision system, we cannot allow a part of any miniature to overhang the bases. The last thing any of us want is for painted minis to come into contact with each other during a collision. Go ahead and ram me, sure, just don't scratch my paint.

We've sent five replacement files to the factory and they've started work on the updated sculpts. The new sculpts are expected to reach us around the 18th of this month. Once we have those, then we'll have a clearer picture of the overall timeline going forward.

Thank you for your patience.
