The Dragon Head Mold is Complete!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Jul 10, 2023 at 11:17:52 AM

To all soldiers on the front lines,

It has been a bit over a month since the molds and cards were submitted to the factory. On June 27th we received good news from the factory: "Good news: the dragon head mold is complete. The mold supplier just sent us several pieces of molded miniatures. I'm happy to send you this photo in the attachment for your review. Note: the color is not the final color."

We are happy that this is done. This was the biggest bottleneck because molds take longer than the cards. 

The card e-proofs have been sent to us again, and we are in the approval stage is this week. This means that we are not on course for summer delivery because the cards and final miniatures won't be ready til after July/August. 

We will keep you all updated as we get new info from the factory on progress. I am especially excited to see the BRONZE painted Dragon Heads!

For the glory of the King!

- Jeff

Making Dragon Molds + Final Files Sent
over 1 year ago – Wed, May 24, 2023 at 11:50:34 AM

Making Dragon Molds

As we speak, the factory is making molds for Dragon Tokens, forged by the Dwarf Lords in the depths of the earth, using the secrets of their ancient race. 

This process started 2 weeks ago and takes longer than printing cards so we are starting it first. After the molds are made, the plastic tokens are made and coated with bronze metallic paint. That is step 1.

Final Files Sent

The second announcement is that we sent the final files for the cards and tiles. All card files have been confirmed and checked for errors etc. The factory will prepare these files to print. We are confident that we are okay for June/July completion for the production. Here is a review of the GLORY game if you wanna get some info on what to expect :)

That's all for now!

We Are The Champions!

Factory Files Changed

I am sorry for the delayed update. The specs to the factory have undergone changes. We hope the printing will begin in May so that games begin shipping in June. The progress is good. There are errors we caught in the factory files that are now are fixed. New files for GLORY correct the issues.

Champion Cards Revealed

Asymmetric Champions shift the strategies of each player and can very much synergize with the cards available and the Bonus cards chosen. For your viewing pleasure, we are unveiling all the updated Champion abilities. These 18 Champions tiles have really spiced up the gameplay experience of Draconis Invasion. 

Still On Track

From the comments section, I realize there was some suspicion for the delayed update. I understand. The reason was that we want to fix the issues and send an update after files are corrected and timelines are more clear. We are still on track for games to arrive to you in July 2023. We hope that no hiccups will hinder this. Thanks for your support and patience. 

SIncerely,

-Jeff (Creator of Draconis Invasion)
