We have approved the eProofs (electronic proofs) for all the cards, packaging, and additional materials from the manufacturer—now we are officially moving into the sampling phase!
In this phase, the manufacturer will send us samples of all Freak War product so we can test them out ourselves and ensure the quality is up to our standards.
We will keep you up to date on our progress!

Current Status Update (More to Come Soon)

Hey there!
Thank you so much for your patience as Nate and I have been working to get Freak War ready. We were hoping this update would be a confirmation of the manufacturing progress starting—but that is not the case.
Since our last update, we've been working back and forth with our manufacturer to ensure the design files are print-ready for the highest quality product. We recently sent over what we expect to be the last edits to the design file.
Once we get confirmation from our manufacturer that the files are ready to go, we'll start the manufacturing process—which kicks off with them printing a proof for our approval! As soon as we get the word, we'll post an update here.
This means that we are a couple of weeks behind schedule (according to our initial timeline on the Kickstarter page), but we built some buffer into the timeline, knowing things like this would happen. So, we're not sweating it too much!
If we expect any significant delays, we'll definitely keep you posted. In the meantime, be on the lookout for an update confirming we've started the manufacturing process!
Much love,
Christian Shelton

Can you believe it has already been two weeks since we funded Freak War?
We are glad to announce that Kickstarter has officially sent us the funds!
Now, the real work can begin!
We are in talks with our manufacturer, getting the print files all ready to go.
If you backed at the Collector's Rare Custom Pack level, it's time to start working on your art.
Our goal is to collect all custom art by July 15th.
In about a week from now, we'll reach out with guidelines on how to submit your art.
If you don't submit your art in time (or opt-out), you'll receive the default card art:
If you missed your chance to get this COPYCAT card during the Kickstarter campaign...
Remember that shipping will be calculated and charged closer to the shipping date.
That's it for now, but we look forward to getting Freak War made and into your hands!
Keep a lookout for more updates.
