Evening,
Its been awhile since our last update. We are using backerkit to confirm addresses and some of our backers haven't gotten back to us to confirm theirs. Please keep an eye on your email regarding that. I will also post an update on facebook to give you a peek in our work shop. We value everyones patience and confidence as we move forward.
I am currently a solo man working on this project. I had a someone helping in the early stages but with only 8,000 initially invested it is hard to pay someone more than minimum wage longer than a month. It is projected to be over 300 hours of work time to complete all the orders. The money wasn't enough to rent a building to do the work and so we had to settle for doing this project at home. Over half the money went to buying supplies and equipment we needed. From 700+ to powder to 400 for the silicone. As well as backerkit taking their % and kickstarter taking nearly %10 plus paying bruce %5 for using his molds and blocks.
I quit my job and hopes to make this a business and kickstarter was a great platform to launch and start this, but the follow up orders on etsy showed us that all hope was lost. I am now looking to get back into the work force to continue to care for my family and coming home in the evenings to finish the sets we promised to make. Again, we are adding a slight increase in the number of doors and an extra wall or two to compensate the wait. I can easily ship everyone a complete decoration set unpainted if they would like instead. Just let me know.
Thanks,
Dustin

Evening Backers,
We are using backerkit to finalize our orders onshipping addresses. We will send out a verification a few days before we ship to make sure the address submitted is still correct. At that time you can update it or just submit that it doesn't need changed. So please keep an eye out on your email.
We wanted to launch a sewer set on kickstarter as we ship these sets out the door to keep business going. Some of us quit our jobs to provide the sets in a timely manner. It seems that kickstarter thought the sewer set was to identical to our dungeon set and it wasn't allowed. So we are going to launch a Modular tower set.
The modular tower set will be pretty neat and i am very excited about it. You can by layers of the tower up to 6. Each layer will be stack able on the next up to the top and have a set price. The tower itself is can be opened on one half so players can see into the tower through out its height all the while the other half stays anchored. If you are interested in updates please like our Facebook page and favorite our Etsy page.
Thanks,
Dustin

Evening,
We are still waiting on this huge order of powder to come in so we can begin making our sets. I figured it would be here today but, again, it is not. I have found a small place that sales small amounts and we are going to order 50lbs from them so we can begin making sets. With 5 lbs per set that will only be enough to make 10 sets of the 100 sets, not including add-ons, that we promised. My plan was to start shipping day one of May and yet we haven't shipped a single set yet. No worries, a small delay and as promised everyone will get what they wanted. Anyone receiving anything late will be compensated with extra pieces.
Thanks,
Dustin
