1) Hey MAGE, what is the status with Höyük?
Currently we proofread the files to see if there any errors. At the same time I asked samples of the paper, wooden components and sleeves from the 3 factories. The wooden components are quite good, nice wood weight, they do not smell, their color is nice, the shape is good, are not damaged, so I think the components of Hoyuk will be in good hands in Shanghai. So the cards.. well the material is good only the cards I received were too too thick, it did not remind me cards but board so we check some more samples and see what is the best. The first sample I received was a mistake from the factory. Now we expect the correct ones. We also expect some sleeves samples this week too.
2) Can you explain the next step?
We set up the PDF files with the factory, check everything a last time in the files and in the quotation and we start directly mass production. At that point a copy will be sent to us to see if the game is indeed ok, so we can move on to normal production. I think about on April 30th or so we will start the production if there are no delays in the files prep. It always time more time to check all the files to be ok.
3) What are the challenges while producing you're facing?
Basic I don't know if the people there make mistakes, for example a bad image, wrong material, anything could be wrong. So I make sure to call them 2-3 times per day and check again and again if everything is ok. We want to avoid any kind of mistakes. I think SAMPLE is the solution. As more samples we ask as better we secure the final product.
4) How many games are going to be produced in total?
At least 2.5-3000 for beginning to secure the price. Less means more money in the game's price. I cannot tell more currently because we talk with several companies in order to increase the production. And these games are not quite enough to cover all of our needs. We love this game and we will try the best for it.
5) When can we expect the delivery of the final version of the game?
If there are no delays I think about August 10th this shipment will arrive in Germany, Europe. Basic we have 3 shipments. One in Germany, one in US and in China. We need 2 months for production at least, 1 month for the ship and custom + 10 days for wasting time for papers, transportations etc. I think we can be faster, but I prefer always to add time and avoid any trouble + the time to send the stuff. I think we can be on time everywhere. We try as always to serve everyone at max at the same time.
Thanks for supporting MAGE Company!
