Asteroid Dice: The giant throw & collide squishy dice game!

Production Continues... 👽

Hi backers, thank you for your patience, we've got a quick update on Asteroid Dice for you!

Here are the latest pics of some products hot off the press, looking forward to ship them out from our factory!

We've also got our Shape Invaders motherships made (exclusive glow in the dark ones for Asteroid Dice backers) which we will be sending out to with your games to give you a little flavour of our next game! 

Shallow Dice:

Our pre-production samples of the colourful Asteroid Dice (Arcade Edition) looked great, but some of the final versions have come back and the numbers are too shallow. We won't be happy releasing a product that isn't up to our standards. We are working on remedying this, and so are adding extra coloured spray numbers increase the readability of the dice.

Chinese New Year will come and go before we ship, due to this setback. Again, sorry for the delay, but we prefer to ship everything as high in quality as possible even if it costs us more and takes a month extra. On a positive note, the dice's squish is excellent and they have been making great stress balls while sorting this out! 

Production is in full swing!

Just a quick pre-Christmas update to tell you that production is in full swing, and going well! It currently looks like we will start shipping from the factory before Chinese New Year. 🐉

So many dice!!

We are excited to update you in 2024 with more info :)

🎲 Production Update 🎲

Hi Backers,

This is a bit of a bittersweet update for us, the product is progressing well and we have samples in - the boxes, bags and dice look great! Unfortunately we have been struggling with consistent squishiness in our dice. This is super important to us and we want to get it right, so have been having a lot of back and forth with the factories we are using.

We have improved the way the numbers are added to the dice, making them much more crisp and clean looking than the previous samples!

We were aiming to ship in November but with this slight setback we will instead be shipping early in the new year, so this does mean that you will not be receiving the product before Christmas as we'd initially planned. From the team, we are sorry we couldn't nail it first time - the product is super close, but we want it to be as good as we can make it and hope it will be worth be worth the wait.

Putting the squish-o-meter to work! 

Latest Samples are Looking Good!

We have finally recovered from our time at Essen Spiel, showing off different dice samples and demoing our next Kickstarter game Shape Invaders.

It was brilliant to meet some Asteroid Dice backers, thank you so much for your continued support.  Based on unanimous feedback, we have finalised the squishiness of the dice! Also we are adjusting the numbers on the dice so they stand out as much as possible.

We are currently setting quality control standards before we kick off Asteroid Dice production to make sure everything is just right. 

We've added a sneak peak of the pin and patch stretch goals, which we think are looking pretty cool!

Once production starts,  we'll be shipping about 4 weeks later hopefully in November.

By the way, if any backer hasn't managed to download the alpha version of the Shape Invaders App yet,  just let us know and we can get that set up :)

Many thanks!

Manufacturing Update + Essen Spiel News!

Thank you so much for completing your orders through Pledge Manager.  We've had a great response so far, and if you haven't managed to finalise your order yet, there's still time!

Over past few weeks we've been busy perfecting the tooling for the dice moulds - getting the look, feel  & bounce of the dice just right.  We thought you might like to see what the dice moulds looks like! This has taken a little longer that planned but it's important that we get it right!   

We're expecting to have final product samples in the next few weeks, and then once approved it will be full steam ahead into production in October.  We're on track for the delivery of first orders in November, which is really exciting!

We are also very excited to be at Essen Spiel in the next couple of weeks, demoing Shape Invaders, our next game coming to Kickstarter in 2024, so if you're around, please drop by and enter one of our Shape Invaders Spiel Tournaments! We'll be at stand 5N125, just look for the giant pink tent! 

Bye for now :)
