Printing is Underway!
4 months ago – Thu, Dec 14, 2023 at 01:34:02 AM

Hey everyone, 

I hope everyone is having fun with the Final PDF! This is a super quick update on the printing of the book and cards. 

Currently, Elementara is right in the middle of the production, which includes printing, binding, quality control, and packaging. All of this is estimated to be complete by the end of the month, after which shipping will begin. Delivery is estimated March 2024 & onwards, depending on your location. 

Test Print

Here's a little preview of what the physical products will roughly look like—a photo of the test print I received early in November (sorry for the poor photo quality). A few things have changed since this test print, but I was overall very happy with how everything turned out. 

That's it for today. Thanks, and have a great holiday season everyone!

Hey everyone!

It's here!—the final version of the Elementara PDF has been officially released, now on BackerKit for everyone to download. Thanks everyone so much for your patience, I'm very happy to be able to bring this finalized version of the book to you all. I hope the wait was worth it and that you'll enjoy the final product.

I want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the Beta and Playtests. All of the insightful feedback and error-checking that was submitted has helped so much in refining the final product. Thank you so much!

What Was Just Released?

Here's a rundown of everything that was distributed through BackerKit today. In addition to the regular digital rewards, I've also released a bonus extra—an Elementara Art Pack, containing all of the original illustrations created for Elementara.

I've also paused pre-orders for physical items on BackerKit. They will be available again after this initial fulfilment run is complete, over at plusthreepress.com.
