Hello apples!
I just received word that a physical sample of Pineapple will be in the mail to me before Longpack closes for Chinese New Year! Longpack will be closed from February 5th - 25th, similar to other Chinese manufacturers, so be aware not just for Pineapple, but other creators you are supporting. Once operations kick back up, if the physical sample looks the part, manufacturing will begin.
Worth noting that I will be air shipping all copies once they are ready, which will save at least a month! Nonetheless, thank you all for your patience :)

Hello apples!
Welcome to 2021. Small but significant update. Longpack has been paid and is now reviewing files! Once more progress happens, you will know :)

Graphic Design Complete + Printer Chosen + Survey Update

Hello apples!
Our killer graphic designer Blaise Sewell (who is also a killer game designer) has wrapped on graphic design! Everything is looking very neat and sweet. Huge thanks to him for the work.
Onto printing! I've spent the past weeks looking into US printing, getting quotes from three different printers, and seeing what is possible. However, it's hard to justify since the print run is going to be around 1,000 units or less, and the pricing in the US is too much for this project. Almost double the cost unfortunately. Instead, I'm going to be using Longpack, a company I am very familiar with and trust completely. They printed numerous games for my publishing company Lay Waste Games (Life Siphon and Human Era to name a few) and I know their team well. I will be putting payment down before the end of the year and printing will begin shortly after.
Regarding surveys, they will be sent out in 2021. Likely January. So sit tight, enjoy any time off you have, and don't worry about changing addresses or anything like that just yet :)

Metal Pineapple....in two finishes!

Hello apples!
I decided to make about 75 pineapples finished in hematite because they looks pretty awesome. These will be up in the pledge manager when that goes out, along with the pins and games :)
Also, it is nearly time to print! One guest designer is getting me their prompts and then the graphic designer can wrap. I'm going to reach out to some US printers to see if printing in the US is feasible so I can get everyone their games faster. It will definitely cost more, but if I can afford it, I'll make it happen.
Thanks for everyone's patience!

Hello apples!
New graphic designer is in the driver's seat and we already have some results! Keep in mind a few things.
- These are draft rules and still being edited.
- The graphics still need some love.
- Rules will be on two cards, front and back.
Once graphic design wraps in the coming week or so, we can push closer to printing! Exciting stuff. Thanks for your patience everyone <3
