Gamefound updates reveal ongoing production adjustments on inserts, sundrop painting options, and deluxe player boards following an update after Essen SPIEL 2026.
The developer confirmed that the Pledge Manager, originally slated to open earlier, will now launch in just a few weeks. According to gamefound.com, the delay ensures that backers can review physical sundrop samples before locking in their final shipping costs, addresses, and add-on selections. The team reported strong visitor reception at their convention booth, where Kapplex Brettspielmöbel supplied a board game table for demonstrations, and official visitor numbers reached 230,000.
Production Adjustments and Box Layouts
Production updates detail the physical development of the game insert for 3Dition Box 2, which houses the basic enclosures. gamefound.com states that the box will feature two identical inlays designed for convenient usage during play. Regarding component handling, the creator noted that while some trays felt deep to community members, instructions have already been issued to decrease the middle part between one-size buildings to facilitate easier removal.
Additional component changes include a free weight upgrade added to miniatures to improve their haptic feel, alongside acrylic tiles from the turtle pledge featuring a custom matte finish to eliminate glare. However, several production elements remain incomplete. gamefound.com confirms that the inlay for 3Dition Box 1, sundrop testing on final miniatures, and deluxe player boards are still being finalized. Mathias did a presentation and interview at Brettspielblog, which is in German with English and other subtitles available to activate.
