Fallout Equestria 5th Edition – Dec/Jan Pre-Order Updates
Merry Christmas everyone!
Just a quick update on the status of Fallout Equestria. We've mentioned in our previous updates that many of our delays were due to procuring the precursor materials, namely our paper. The long lead time, combined with the overall global supply chain issues, tariff situation, and everything else fun going on in the world, really stretched out our typical estimates. Unfortunately we also were struggling with some communication challenges with our manufacturer. We've had an excellent working relationship with our manufacturer over the years, so we were happy to operate in good faith amidst limited communications. Unfortunately as deadlines passed and passed, we were in a difficult position where it was unclear if there was still a path forward or not.
In order to keep the project moving along, and to finish the books you all have been so patiently waiting for, we have made the decision to work with an alternative manufacturer. This was no easy decision, but we feel it is the best to successfully complete Fallout Equestria, and opens up some potential capabilities for the future.
As it stands right now, we have signed an agreement, paid our deposit, and have submitted our final files. We are working out minor details (like exactly what shade of color we want the ribbon bookmark to be), should have proofs this upcoming week, and will be ready to enter production after that. Production is estimated to take about a month, and shipping about a month after. We will continue to post updates as we move forward.
Our current estimate for finishing Fallout Equestria is late February / early March.
I also want to give a huge thank you to our Patreons for their overwhelming support of the project. Without their support (and without the support of an American Express business line of credit lol) this type of production switch would have been many times more difficult. As we enter the new year we will close the loop with our original manufacturing partner so we have 100% focus on our new direction.
But for now, we're back on the saddle and are moving forward. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out via email or our discord server.
Cheers,
