Black Hands Colour Enhanced
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jun 25, 2020 at 10:01:03 AM

Greetings all,

I am happy to announce that our newest comic campaign is doing so well, that we have now been able to offer a variety of additional options... The most notable of which is the colour Enhanced version of the comic.

The new edition now available on the campaign as you can see above now has enhanced colouring, at present we are colouring the female characters and blood effects, but we may also trial colouring other characters and areas too as we progress with the overall development of the comic. The colour Enhanced may even become full colour by the time to first issue is finished.

In addition to this additional version we are also able to now utilise Backerkit for reward delivery allowing us to also offer Physical add-on items including new Dakimakuras and more acrylic figures of the characters from the comic. With these additions and a variety of other optional digital content we hope more people can enjoy the comic and ensure it has a bigger future.

I hope you will consider checking out the campaign, there are just a couple of days left before it ends, so this could be the last chance to get in and help us make it a success. And if the success continues it could lead to more items being created for it, such as even the possibility of a computer game edition. Very feasible as the comic artist has worked on games with us before such as Army Gals.

Shipping Changes
almost 4 years ago – Mon, May 18, 2020 at 05:16:36 PM

Greetings all, 

In light of the delays to the games ongoing development compared to our original time line we have decided to adjust how we will be shipping all of the rewards from this campaign. Now as you should already know Witches Brew is being prepared for a 2021 release schedule now and most likely The Alchemist will be arranged for a 2022 release schedule. Work is going well, but as we looked over the physical rewards we offered we realised it made sense to ship items in different sets as they become available.

Wave Shipping

With that in mind our plan now is to ship in three waves of items...

• Wave 1 = Immediate Manufacturing & Shipping
• Wave 2 = Witches Brew Release Shipping
• Wave 3 = The Alchemist Release Shipping

We have split this down to what items are ready to ship immediately, wont be ready to ship until the release of Witches Brew and the items that wont be ready to ship until the release of The Alchemist. Digital rewards are unaffected by this change, this is only for Physical Reward Items.

Wave 1 = Immediate Manufacturing & Shipping

So wave 1 items will be put into immediate manufacture and will once completed be shipped direct as part of our first wave of shipping. We expect manufacturing of the items to finish around the end of June, hopefully allowing shipment of the first wave of items in July/August 2020. The following items will be included in this first wave of items:

• Witches Brew Poster
• Witch Dakimakura
• Ophelia Dakimakura
• Taylor Dakimakura
• Brienne Dakimakura
• Vishan Dakimakura
• Ria Dakimakura
• Anna Dakimakura
• Ellie Dakimakura
• Morgan Dakimakura
• Aerwyna Dakimakura
• Alethia Dakimakura
• Caitlyn Dakimakura
• Carolyn Dakimakura
• Yuuna Dakimakura
• Callie Dakimakura
• Marcy Dakimakura
• Vashta Dakimakura
• Witches Brew Tshirts

More details on these items will be provided when manufacturing is close to completion. In the meantime we strongly advise everyone to login to backerkit and make sure their address is up to date. 

PO BOX FINAL WARNING

Despite our previous warnings, some people still have PO Box addresses, lockers and drop off locations set as their delivery address in Backerkit, as we have advised before, we do NOT ship to these locations, if you have set your address as this you will lose access to your physical rewards. We are going to allow the rest of May for people to heed this warning and update their addresses before we finalise manufacturing numbers, after that point if your address remains as a PO Box address, locker or drop off location, then your physical rewards will be lost and those funds will be considered as a donation purely to development of the game.

You can use the link below to recover your account if you have lost your login details to Backerkit so that you can update your address. At the end of May we will finalise numbers so this is the final warning to make sure a correct shipping address is provided. (similarly anyone who has not filled in an address at all will lose access to their rewards for the same reason).

Wave 2 = Witches Brew Release Shipping

Wave 2 items, are items which cannot be put into production until the game is finished and essentially ready for release. As noted in the past our aim will be to finish the beta testing of the game at least a month prior to its release allowing time to manufacture these items and ship them prior to the games full release. Therefore the following items will be shipped in 2021 when Witches Brew is close to release:

• Witches Brew DVD
• Witches Brew Artbook
• Witches Brew Postcard Sets

Closer to the time of release we will have more details on these items.

Wave 3 = The Alchemist Release Shipping

The final wave of shipping will be for the dedicated The Alchemist items, these will, similar to the Witches Brew items need to be created and released close to the official release of the Alchemist game. This wave includes the following items:

• The Alchemist DVD
• The Alchemist Artbook

Again as we draw closer to the release of this game edition more details will be provided.

Shipping Estimate

So as mentioned above you have until the end of May to make sure an address is provided in Backerkit, which is a suitable delivery location and not a PO Box, Locker or Drop off Location in order to not be struck off from manufacturing physical rewards. After that we will then notify backers close to the time of shipping the final deadline for address changes for Wave 1 shipping. Though we expect to start shipping items in July or August if all goes to plan.

Wave 2 and Wave 3 shipping will then be dealt with when those respective games are getting ready for release.

Last Chance Paradise Girls
almost 4 years ago – Sat, May 02, 2020 at 06:53:26 AM

This is our final update about the kickstarter campaign that is currently live, it has now exceeded £33,000 in funding (over 1000%) added open world gameplay, a huge selection of women, harem wars events, mobile phone events, card games and so much more.

Because the game has added so much content we have changed the planned name to Paradise Girls, since the game now features romantic events, adult scenes and lots of sexy content with an array of 70 women from the entire series of games, including girls from alternate realities, fantasy worlds, sci-fi futures and the supernatural.

This really will be the finale to the series, releasing next year, but so you don't get bored in the meantime the campaign also offers the option to receive several games made by other teams in the series in the lead up to its release, including the much wanted Negligee: DoubleD sequel.

With the campaign due to end in just a few days time I hope you will consider joining before it is too late.

N.b. The game is available for just £10 on Kickstarter, roughly 50% off what the release price will be based on the games now funded content.
