Production updates on Eastward, IMMORTALITY, How a Game Lives, and [lock-on] 006

Eastward: Design Works

We have an exciting update for Eastward: Design Works. Thank you for your continued patience across the board. Working on Eastward with Chucklefish and Pixpil has been a joy, and we're confident we've done this wonderful game the justice it deserves with our celebratory Design Works book.

The Deluxe Edition extras and the boxes have been printed, and we're over the moon with how the final version of these items have come out. These items will arrive to our distribution centre next week.

Stay tuned, as next week we'll have images of the full finished book, package and extras to show off!

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly: we're happy to say that Eastward: Design Works will be shipping out to all customers by the end of March! 🎉

IMMORTALITY: Design Works

We're happy to say that we now have a complete book draft of IMMORTALITY: Designs Works, with physical production samples in-hand. With the book content and design complete, we're also preparing the final stages of our Deluxe Edition extras.

For these extras and our main book, we want to make sure all of our in-fiction content is spot-on with Half-Mermaid's intentions of this fantastic universe, so we're just at the final stages of going over all of this content together and ensuring it is all accurate and approved. This approvals stage is the final step; it is normal for review processes on projects like this to take a few weeks for fine-tuning, checking, and approving, and potentially a bit longer if some needed edits are spotted to make sure what we're creating is accurate. After all, we want what arrives to be the definitive look into the world of IMMORTALITY.

We don't want to give potentially false timeframes on shipping, but we do want to share all the info we have with you so that you're kept in the loop. Without any edits, we're expecting we would start shipping in April, but again, edits are normal and always a possibility with projects like this one, so please know this is not a guaranteed shipping window and that it could move by up to a couple of months.

We'll update you with a cemented shipping time soon!

How a Game Lives: The Annotated Essays of Jacob Geller

This is on track and, similarly to IMMORTALITY, is in its final stages. All of the physical prototyping is done, and we're locking in some dates and finalisations now as we're prepping to send files to the printers. So as to not give false information, we'll be updating with some fresh shipping estimates, updates, and production images in the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime, here's some lovely new physical sample shots, fresh from the production line! We can't wait to have the final book in all your hands soon.

[lock-on] 006

[lock-on] 006 is our biggest, most definitive issue of our flagship book series yet. This has resulted in a longer development time, but we assure it'll be worthwhile! We are currently on the last few printing proof pieces before we go into print production.

We'll wait to provide some hard dates until we hit that printing point, but we'll update you all on the progress and shipping timing soon!
