7 months ago – Thu, Dec 14, 2023 at 02:33:01 PM

Happy Holidays everyone! ☃️

We are so close to the holidays, we can almost taste it, which also means we are only one month away from the fulfillment of Fractured Sky! Are you as excited as we are?! 😆   

Just a quick notice that IV Studio will be on our holiday break starting Dec 16, 2023 and we will return on Jan 3, 2024. If you have any questions or requests during that time, please send us an email at [email protected] and we will address them when we are back in the office.

Now onto the fun stuff: Fulfillment! 

Fractured Sky has now arrived at all regional warehouses and they have begun the process of unpacking and organizing all of your orders. We have submitted final shipping address datasets to the warehouses and they are on schedule to start shipping in mid-January. Fractured Sky is going to be a great present from past-you to future-you to combat those post-holiday blues! 😌 Love your amazing foresight.👌

Last Minute Shipping Address Changes

If you still need to change your shipping address, please email [email protected] with the subject line "URGENT FS Shipping Address Change" with your BackerKit email or full name. This will allow us to change your address before the warehouses start shipping packages and ensure your game will get shipped to the correct address! 

That's all we've got for you this month! We will see you in a few weeks with a much more exciting update. Don't stay up too late p̶l̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶s̶ waiting for Santa! 😉  

Moonrollers & Dark Matter Launch, Freight Ships, and Final Shipping Addresses!
7 months ago – Wed, Nov 29, 2023 at 01:07:08 PM

Hey, we hope you had a great and cozy November!  

We have some exciting news for y'all ☺️ 

The freight ships have arrived at their ports! 🚢

All 3 shipping containers have safely made it to their regional ports. Now your games are in transit to the warehouses where they will carefully unpack and sort through the inventory to prepare for shipments in January 2024. However, in order for you to receive your game, we need an accurate shipping address!

Last Chance to Update your Shipping Address! 📦

We will lock in all shipping addresses on Sunday Dec 3rd, 2023 to begin shipping in January 2024! If you are unsure where you will be located in January/February, please change your shipping information to a secure address so that you will be able to receive your game. This can be a family member's or friend's address instead. You can change your shipping information by recovering your Backerkit survey, and then clicking either the "Edit Shipping Info" or "Edit Your Address" button. Please email us at [email protected] if you require help with anything related to your pledges.  

We just launched a Moonrakers campaign featuring Moonrollers and Dark Matter! 🚀 

Moonrollers 🎲 is an entirely new standalone push-your-luck dice game full of familiar faces and themes from the Moonrakers universe. Dark Matter 🌑 is a mini-expansion for Moonrakers that introduces a new gameplay mechanic and risky tradeoffs. Click the image below to check out our live campaign on BackerKit! 

If you missed the Starfall micro-expansion for Moonrakers from the Fractured Sky campaign, it's available as an add-on right now on the Moonrollers and Dark Matter campaign. However, if you are located in one of our standard shipping locations, it will ship faster from our website in February after Fractured Sky is fulfilled. 

Stay warm and we will see you in December! ❄️

Happy Halloween & Production Update!
8 months ago – Tue, Oct 31, 2023 at 01:53:54 PM

Happy Halloween! The year is quickly coming to an end, which means we are getting closer to the fulfillment of Fractured Sky. 

Production Update

We have good news! The Fractured Sky games have successfully finished in production and are embarking on the first leg of their journey. They are currently making their way across the oceans in freight ships towards our regional warehouses. Their expected arrival at port is sometime in November and afterwards, they will be transported by a train or truck to the warehouses.

We factored in ample buffer time to ensure our warehouses will be able to prepare for the fulfillment of over 8,600 orders. Considering the upcoming holiday season, the warehouses will require some additional time to carefully unpack and organize the games. They expect to be able to complete this process shortly after the holiday season in early January. Overall, the best news is that we are still on schedule to start shipping orders in January 2024! :)

If you're as excited as we are and want to track the progress of the games as they cross the sea, here are the ship details:

North America

Europe

Oceania


Finalizing Shipping Addresses

We will be finalizing all shipping addresses on Dec 3rd, 2023 to begin shipping in January 2024. If you are unsure where you will be located in January/February, please change your shipping information to a secure address so that you will be able to receive your game. You can change your shipping information by recovering your Backerkit survey, and then clicking either the "Edit Shipping Info" or "Edit Your Address" button.  

If you need any help with shipping address changes, you can email our support team at [email protected] and we will respond as soon as possible. 

MPC Samples, Mythic Mischief Returning Backer Gift, Production Update
10 months ago – Mon, Sep 11, 2023 at 03:55:49 PM

Production Update

Getting the MPC into the office is a huge hurdle crossed! It's been so fun seeing all of the final components, which we will share some today and you can follow us on social media for more future updates.

The factory is finishing up final plastics manufacturing and then we are on the way to final assembly. The ships should be leaving with the games next month, which puts us right in line with our scheduled delivery date of January 2024! 

MPC Samples

We just got the Mass Production Copy samples and are so pleased with how everything is looking. Last update, we shared an image of the top tray and we finally have it in our hands. Here's another, nicer shot of it:

We also wanted to show you the metal Starfall Miniatures as they are just really fun to look at. 

Oooo. Aaah. Shiny.

Returning Backer Mythic Mischief Gift

Mythic Mischief Vol 2 Kickstarter Campaign is going live tomorrow!

The Mythic Mischief Volume 2 Kickstarter campaign is launching on September 12, 2023 at 8:00 AM PDT / 10:00 AM CDT / 5:00 PM CEST / 1:00 AM AEST!

As a thank you, we are giving all returning backers from any of our previous campaigns a set of Howlite Action Tracking Dice with your pledge for the game! We wanna make sure your faction board looks the coolest on the table and you can never really have enough dice in your life. 

More dice, more life.

Also, if you're an early backer within 48 hours, you get another freebie! 

Introducing the limited edition pre-painted Headmaster miniature, exclusive to this campaign. They procrastinate on admin work by training their pet dragon and of course, catching mischievous students. This Headmaster miniature is the new baddie on the board and can be used in place of the Tomekeeper or Groundskeeper. Don't miss out on this grumpy addition to the Mythic Manor family! 

48 Hour Backer Gift: Painted Headmaster Miniature

After falling in love with Fractured Sky’s painted minis, we dreamed that Mythic Mischief could get the same wonderful upgrade. We are so happy to be able to offer it on this campaign! All 11 factions will have the option to come machine-painted. If you already own Mythic Mischief, we'll have miniature upgrade kits available too! 


MPC En Route, Mythic Mischief Volume II, Analysis Paralysis
10 months ago – Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 03:51:43 PM

Production Update

We are eagerly awaiting the delivery of our mass-production copy (MPC) samples! The retail edition is already here, and the Deluxe and Super-Deluxe copies are not far behind. There was a slight delay because we want to make sure your games stay super safe as they are shipped in international shipping containers to our fulfillment hubs. We finally found a solution to keep all the machine painted miniatures separated and you can see a sneak peek of the top of the tray here:

We will be sending another update with more photos as soon as we get the rest of the MPCs! So far, the delay on the MPC has not added any time to our timeline and we are still projected for a January delivery date!


Mythic Mischief Vol. II

On September 12, we are launching the campaign for Mythic Mischief Volume II! We will be introducing 4 new factions, fun upgrades, and a bonus gift for returning backers from ANY of our previous campaigns (Including you!). With this new installment, Mythic Mischief now has 11 easy to learn asymmetric factions.

Awarded the Dice Tower 'Seal of Excellence,' Mythic Mischief is a thinky puzzle-of-a-game that asks 1-4 players to use every available braincell to get your opponents caught by the Tomekeeper. It's an incredible 2-player head-to-head challenge, with 3-4 players introducing the need to collaborate with a teammate—plus a solo mode designed by the master of solo gaming, Dávid Turczi

You can check out a gameplay of the Gnomes vs Werewolves with special guest Mike Dilisio from The Dice Tower below!

Analysis Paralysis

We are currently on Episode 5 of Analysis Paralysis, a show where we talk about board game news, crowdfunding, what games we've been playing, and IV Studio updates. Each week, we upload a new episode and give away prizes to our viewers!

In the most recent episode, we had some spectacular guests on the show. Alex from BoardGameCo, Professor Meg, Jenna from The Board Game Garden, and Devon from Devon Talks Tabletop all take turns making sneaky appearances. Make sure to check out their mischievous antics in the video below!
