Bah. It's been over a month since I've last posted. The time is really flying by. However, there hasn't been a whole lot of developments since the last time.
I'm still waiting for the news that my games are being manufactured. I know progress is being made, because I recently received a photo of some prototype dice from Manaforge:

Yay! It's great to see my game coming to life like this. Overall, I'm very happy with how these look. There are a couple of flaws though.
- The colors of the 'wind' and the 'water' dice are more similar than I'd like; you can certainly tell them apart but it's not an instantaneous thing like the other dice colors. I don't think this is really something I need to fix, but it does bug me a little.
- The 'gem' icons don't appear to be perfectly centered on the die faces. I'm not 100% sure where the problem lies here. It could be the way they're using the dice asset files I sent them, or it could just be a glitch of their manufacturing process. I've spoken with them about it and I'm hoping they can improve it.
All things considered, these still look very good. I just want everything to be perfect. :)
The latest time estimate for Manaforge is that the entire batch of games should still be completed before the end of August. This means that I'm still on target for shipping the games to backers around the beginning of November.
