Voidpilot's Legacy: Late Pledges

Voidpilots Dispatch #32: The Games Have Left the Factory!
8 days ago – Sun, Oct 18, 2026 at 04:41:06 PM

Greetings Voidpilots!

We have some exciting news: Voidpilot's Legacy has officially left the factory and is on its way to the United States!

Our freight forwarder has picked up the shipment, and we're now working through the next steps of international shipping.  The next major step is loading the shipment aboard a cargo ship.  We'll share more information as soon as we receive it.

As we mentioned previously, we expect the international freight process to take approximately two months, although shipping schedules can change along the way.

U.S. and Canadian Backers

We're now just one month away from our planned November 15th card charge date.

As a reminder, this charge will cover your outstanding pledge manager balance, including any additions or changes to your order, and your shipping costs.

If you need to update your shipping address, please do so in the pledge manager as soon as possible. We also encourage everyone to review their order, shipping costs, and payment information before November 15th.

We plan to lock orders and shipping addresses approximately one week before the November 15th charge date.  Don't worry, even if we lock shipping addresses in the pledge manager, you can update your address by contacting us directly before your game ships.

If you're not sure how to access the pledge manager, please use the survey recovery page at: https://voidpilotslegacy.backerkit.com

International Backers

International backers outside the United States and Canada will not have their cards charged on November 15th.  

For backers outside the United States and Canada, we sent an email requesting confirmation of your shipping address.

If you haven't received that email, please check your junk or spam folder. If you still can't find it, please contact us directly so we can make sure we have your correct information.

If you need to update your shipping address, please contact us directly by email.

We'll be sending additional information about international shipping and payment arrangements as we get closer to fulfillment. We'll continue coordinating with you individually as those arrangements are finalized.

What's Next

With the games now in the hands of our freight forwarder, our focus is on coordinating the international shipment, preparing for the November 15th card charge date, and completing our fulfillment arrangements.

We'll continue providing updates as the shipment progresses and as we get closer to delivery.

Thank you again for your patience and continued support. We're getting closer!

Sincerely,

Nick and Alex

Voidpilots Dispatch #31: Final Sample Approved and Freight Ahead!
30 days ago – Sun, Sep 27, 2026 at 03:06:43 PM

Greetings Voidpilots!

We have a big update this time, with several major milestones to share as we move closer to shipping and fulfillment.

Final Manufacturing Product Sample Approved

We received our Manufacturing Product Sample, and it looks fantastic! We've gone through the finished game and components, and we're extremely happy with the results. The quality really exceeded our expectations.

We've included a video below so you can take a look for yourselves!

Manufacturing is continuing through next week and is expected to wrap up shortly. With the final sample approved, we've also paid the remaining balance to our manufacturer and are now working with them to schedule the freight shipment to the United States.

We currently expect the shipment to begin moving by the middle of October. Transit to the United States is expected to take approximately two months, although international freight schedules can always shift along the way.

Backer Shipping

At the same time, our fulfillment partner has completed our backer shipping quotes, and we're now updating our pledge manager with those costs.

We expect the pledge manager to be updated with shipping costs for backers in the United States and Canada by October 1st. Once the shipping costs are available, those backers will have an opportunity to review their shipping information, confirm their address, and make sure their payment method is current.

We are currently planning to charge cards on November 15th. This pledge manager charge will include your existing pledge, any changes or additions you've made to your order, and your shipping cost. This will give everyone approximately six weeks to review their order, address, shipping costs, and payment information before charges are processed.

We'll send another update next week with detailed instructions explaining the shipping process and what you'll need to review and complete in the pledge manager. There's nothing you need to do right now.

International Backers

We also have a small fulfillment housekeeping update.

The pledge manager will remain our primary order and fulfillment management system for backers in the United States and Canada.

For backers outside the United States and Canada, we'll be managing fulfillment directly. Those backers should expect to receive an email from us next week with additional information and instructions.

We're making this change because international fulfillment requires additional flexibility. Shipping costs can vary significantly depending on the destination and when the shipment is scheduled, and we also need to account for applicable VAT and other import requirements. Managing these orders directly allows us to coordinate the most appropriate shipping option for each order rather than processing them through the same system as U.S. and Canadian fulfillment.

For a small number of international backers, we've also been able to arrange direct shipment from our manufacturer. Those orders will ship around the same time that the main freight shipment departs for the United States. We've been coordinating with those backers individually, and we'll continue to do so as their orders move through fulfillment.

If you're an international backer outside the United States and Canada, you don't need to do anything yet. We'll contact you directly with instructions.

What's Next

Manufacturing is expected to wrap up next week, and we're now scheduling the freight shipment, preparing the pledge manager for U.S. and Canadian shipping payments, and coordinating directly with our other international backers.

October 1: Pledge manager updated with shipping costs.
October 1 - November 14: Backers review their pledge, additions or changes, shipping address, shipping cost, and payment method.
November 15: Outstanding balances charged.

Next week, we'll send detailed instructions for reviewing your pledge and shipping information ahead of the planned November 15th card charge date.

After everything it took to get to this point, it feels great to finally be talking about freight and fulfillment. Thank you, as always, for your patience and continued support!

Sincerely,

Nick and Alex

Voidpilots Dispatch #30: International Backer Shipping Opportunity
about 2 months ago – Tue, Sep 08, 2026 at 02:30:35 PM

Greetings Voidpilots!

We have a quick shipping update for a small number of our international backers.

We're currently working with our manufacturer on a potential shipping opportunity for our backers in Australia and Vietnam. Rather than having these orders travel with the main shipment to the United States and then ship internationally, we may be able to have them shipped directly from our manufacturer. We're still working through the details, so we can't guarantee that we'll be able to use this option, but we think it's worth exploring.

If we're able to make it work, this should result in faster delivery and may also reduce shipping costs for those backers.

If your shipping address is in Australia or Vietnam, you'll receive a personal email from us within the next hour with more information. We'll be asking you to confirm whether you're interested in pursuing this option so that we can request an individual shipping quote for your order. Again, we can't guarantee that direct shipping will ultimately be available, but we'll let you know as soon as we've confirmed if we can make it work.

For everyone else, no action is required. This does not change our existing fulfillment plans or the shipping process described in our previous updates.

We're happy to have the opportunity to explore this option for a few of our international backers, and we'll continue looking for ways to make fulfillment as efficient as possible.

Sincerely,

Nick and Alex

Voidpilots Dispatch #29: Production Update
about 2 months ago – Sun, Aug 30, 2026 at 02:04:04 PM

Greetings Voidpilots!

It's time for a quick update. While we don't have any major milestones to announce this time, we're doing several things behind the scenes as we're working towards fulfillment.

Production and Fulfillment

Product testing and manufacturing are continuing, and we're waiting on our next production status update.  On the logistics side, we recently received the manufacturer's draft packing list for the international shipment to the United States. While there are still several steps left to go, the fulfillment process is taking shape.

Based on where everything currently stands, we're planning for fulfillment to backers in early 2027. We'll provide a more specific timeline once manufacturing is complete and we have our final shipping arrangements in place.

Shipping Costs

Working with Quartermaster Logistics (QML), we've requested our fulfillment shipping quotes. Once we have those quotes, we'll add the applicable shipping costs to each backer's pledge manager account.

Once we've added the shipping costs, you'll log into your pledge manager account, review your shipping cost, and approve the charge.  We'll give step-by-step instructions on how to do this when it's time.

We're currently planning to charge cards on November 15th, although that date may shift depending on when we actually receive the game from the manufacturer.

We'll send out an update once the shipping costs are available, along with reminders before the charge date. This will give everyone time to review your shipping information (including your address), approve the shipping charge, and make sure your payment method is current.

For now, manufacturing is underway, product testing is in progress, and the logistics and shipping process is moving forward. We'll share more updates as soon as we can.

Thank you again for your patience and continued support!

Sincerely,

Nick and Alex

Voidpilots Dispatch #28: Mass Production Has Started!
3 months ago – Tue, Jul 14, 2026 at 02:54:29 PM

Greetings Voidpilots!

Today, we have the update we've all been waiting for.

Mass production has officially begun!

Our manufacturer has begun mass production on Chronicles of the Stellar Drive Empire™: Voidpilot's Legacy, including the base game, expansions, and rewards. Based on the current production schedule, we expect manufacturing to be completed in late September or early October.  

Reaching this stage is a tremendous milestone for our team, and we're excited to finally see the game moving to the production line.

As part of this process, the manufacturer will also send us mass production samples for one final review. We'll be sure to share photos once they arrive.

Final Improvements

As we discussed in the last update, we made one last improvement to the dice.  By working closely with our manufacturer, we were able to adjust the finish so they really pop.  We're incredibly happy with the final result.  It's a noticeable improvement!

Shipping Reminder

As we move through manufacturing, we'll begin reaching out with more information about fulfillment.

Please keep an eye on your email over the coming weeks. We'll be sending updates regarding shipping, including instructions for confirming your information and collecting shipping charges before fulfillment begins.

We'll continue sharing updates as production continues!

Sincerely,

Nick and Alex
