Latest Updates from Our Project:

Nov Update part 2
17 days ago – Mon, Nov 04, 2024 at 11:26:27 AM

Apologies! It seems that on our previous update our photos of the quality check for the new REDLINE product printing did not appear for all to see, so we are posting the photos again so you can see the need to go back and reprint our cards.

 Sorry again for the delay and the error with the last update. Some backers were able to see the images while other could not. Not sure why that happened. 

REDLINE Nov Update
17 days ago – Sun, Nov 03, 2024 at 06:14:23 PM

Happy November REDLINE Army!

We have a smaller update today as a result of some small, but unfortunate news that has pushed our upcoming shipping target back for REDLINE: Payday a little bit. As a result, we are in a bit of a holding pattern right before we were ready to get out of the gates.

Shipping Delay

Unfortunately, shorty after our last update we received bad news from our printer. The result is a small setback on our upcoming shipping order for REDLINE as a result of found printing errors at our factory during a quality control inspection after printing was completed. As you can see below, some of the cards were severely beat up during the print process.

Imprinting and scratches on card.

Edge scratches.

Deep indents.

These errors are unacceptable and because of this, our printer had to schedule the entire print run of cards to be made all over again.

Because of this delay, it will push our shipping back about a month. Although the timing is unfortunate, (we had a ship booked to leave port this week with our product) in the grand scheme of things it should only push our delivery date back a month, from Jan 2025 to Feb 2025.

The biggest tragedy is seeing so much beautiful REDLINE product getting recycled as we wait for fixed cards to be made. :(

Shipping Confirmation

Because the print errors were found shortly after our last update, we pushed back the confirmation and charging of shipping through BackerKit as planned since some extra time appeared on our shipping calendar.

However, we will be charging shipping and locking in BackerKit orders on Friday Nov 15th.

At the moment, 84% of our Kickstarter backers have locked in their orders. If you are part of that missing 16% or need to update your address with a recent move, please do so today.

At the same time, if you missed our Kickstarter campaign but still wanted to secure your copy of REDLINE and REDLINE: Payday to secure our pre-order benefits, you can do so below. Don’t miss out on your chance to battle for control of the redline with our two new factions!

PRE_ORDER NOW

We thank you for your patience as we have been anxious over here to get REDLINE: Payday into your hands as soon as able!  

We will be back next month with another update as we hope to have our product loaded onto a big boat and headed our way!

OCTOBER UPDATE

REDLINE OCT UPDATE

Happy fall to y’all!

We have some big updates to share this month with all of you concerning REDLINE with the final results of our efreet design contest name below as well as a big shipping and production update to share!

Efreet Design Contest Naming Results!

Thanks to everyone who helped not only to design but submitted names for our new community designed efreet. The results are in and the result is below!

Ladies and gentlemen, efreet pilots of all ages, we are proud to introduce you to the Scorpion!

Wait…. wut? lol

Per the rules of our naming contest, we asked our fans to submit names for the four legged efreet up above on our social media and across all platforms, Scorpion was the most popular name submitted by multiple REDLINE fans.

However, there was one 78 ton problem. We already had an efreet named the Scorpion waaaaay back in our REDLINE: Siege expansion, lol. Opps!

As that name was already taken we went with the 2nd place nomination, (which was our personal fav) so let’s try this again.

REDLINE players and fans, say hello to the WOLF SPIDER!

Love the name as the two large cannons are very reminiscent of the fangs of the actual wolf spider species which is robust and agile hunter.

The Wolf Spider will be featured in an upcoming REDLINE expansion so stay tuned!

Production And Shipping Update

Good news everyone!

REDLINE: Payday production is complete and factory shipping is imminent!

So what does this mean? Two things.

First, with production complete, we are now looking to bring our product home from our factory in China and we are currently working to make arrangements for that. Our goal is to bring REDLINE to our distributor as quickly and cost effectively as possible.

However, we live in tumultuous times as I am sure you know. With recent threats to close docks, Houthi rebels targeting shipping routes, and the holidays fast approaching, shipping costs and timetables are messy. We are still working to navigate these factors to find the best course of action for REDLINE: Payday and will be updating again when we have a more concrete schedule for you. The important thing is we are still on pace to meet our proposed Dec/Jan ship date to players.

Secondly, with shipping imminent we will be collecting shipping payments through our BackerKit pledge manager this week.

We are currently at about 82% of all pledges completed so if you haven’t yet, do make sure to login to manage your pledge, lock in your shipping and nab any sweet REDLINE add-ons like one of our awesomely detailed efreet miniatures! You can even get a Scorpion mini right now since it was so surprisingly popular! lol

Or, if you haven’t yet, and missed out on our Kickstarter campaign, now is the time to pre-order REDLINE: Payday through our BackerKit Pre-Order store!

THANK YOU!

As always, we want to thank our players again for all your support and patience!

We appreciate all of you and your support as we work to make REDLINE: Tactical Card Combat the best mech based card game out there! 

September Update
2 months ago – Sun, Sep 08, 2024 at 03:19:50 PM

We hope everyone is doing well as the summer slowly winds down.We know you’ve been patiently waiting for the results of our REDLINE: Payday efreet design contest and we are excited to share our new efreet that the community helped to design today!

Not too bad right? ;)

The efreet above was designed taking into account the results of our community efreet design 4 contest. We asked our fans to vote for their dream efreet and then we designed a new machine based on their input.

You can view the final results of the polling by clicking on the image below.

When the final polling finished our players wanted a neutral medium quad design that can go into all decks. An armored cockpit and armored components were popular along with a a cannon and missile weapons package and the ever popular sharpshooter ability.

The final design is a sleek looking efreet that still appears designed to absorb a great deal of punishment and is our 2nd ever quad efreet in REDLINE! The first one, the AXL-2 Axolotl also happened to be fan designed as well. (you all sure do love medium quads!)

Now we need your help one last time to name our new toy!

The rules are simple, we will be posting and uploading our new efreet onto our social media channels and taking name suggestions in the comments! Leave a comment with a name you would like to suggest for the new efreet and like or love the entries that you want to vote for. At the end of the day on Friday September 13th we will take a final tally of the most popular name across our social media and proudly christen our new efreet with the winning entry.

Don’t hesitate! Share your suggestions and vote now on our Facebook page, Twitter feed, Instagram and subreddit accounts!

REDLINE: Payday Production

Production is still going strong for our REDLINE: Payday Kickstarter and we hope to be able to share a bigger update next month as production wraps up.

In the meantime, don’t forget that pre-orders for REDLINE: Payday are still live for any players who missed out on our campaign but still want to get their hands on the latest REDLINE experience! Our 3rd expansion, REDLINE: Payday adds two new factions to the game with a slew of new mechanics and tactics for players to explore and build around!

Chase down bountes for huge rewards as the new mercenary faction or mine for rare earth ores and punch your way to victory with the new industrial corporations! REDLINE: Payday is awesome!

PRE-ORDER NOW! 

We'll be back soon with the results of our naming contest! Have fun and don't forget to cast your vote! We can't name our new efreet without you!

We will also be sharing the final design for the latest efreet design contest soon and asking for your help to christen it with a name! Always fun to add a new efreet to the REDLINE family with all of your help! 

Thank you for all your support and continued patience as we work to bring our campaign all the way to the finish line. ;)
