[[A man in an apron, aptly named APRONNI, addresses his coworker:]]

APRONNI: JULIORA! A little bird told me it was your birthday next Wednesday!

[[Juliora comes in to reply.]]

JULIORA: A little bird? Like, a BIRD bird? TALKED to you?
APRONNI: Yeah. Came to my window last night around eight.

[[Now we see a little pigeon perched on the sill of an open window. Apparently Apronni lives in a barn, or something like a barn? It’s not entirely clear.]]

BIRD: Pssst. Hey buddy. [Apronni enters.] She’s been looking at ski boots on Zappos. Do what you will with this information.

[[Back in the office now, flashback over.]]

JULIORA: Because I’VE seen a little bird too! It let me know when a Zumba class opened up in my area!

ENTREBERT (entering with his hands held a pigeon’s width apart): A little bird? About yea big? Knows a lot about when jeans go on sale? Yeah, I’ve seen ‘I’m!

APRONNI: I guess it must be the same little bird visiting everyone!

[[Cut back to the bird, still on the windowsill. Part of the flashback from earlier? It’s not entirely clear.]]

BIRD: I’m very tired

The little bird installed a tracking pixel so he knows what sites you visit.

Bolted! Shipping is UNDERWAY

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
