IRON FOREST

Created by Brain Games USA

The next level flicking game from the creators of ICECOOL. PLEASE NOTE: We currently don't have shipping & VAT/tax prices entered for physical rewards in BackerKit. We plan to wait until closer to fulfillment to enter & charge you for the physical items to get the most accurate/fair fulfillment prices. We will update backers after entering those shipping prices & VAT/tax before we charge you in BackerKit. For estimate shipping fees, please visit Iron Forest Kickstarter page.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Production update (long overdue)
6 months ago – Thu, Oct 12, 2023 at 02:50:17 AM

Hello, our patient friends,

We acknowledge that we've fallen short in our communication with you, despite our promise of more frequent updates. Initially, we believed that updates should only be shared when significant developments occurred. However, we've come to realize that on Kickstarter, no news can be perceived as bad news. We understand the importance of providing regular updates, and we commit to doing just that.

SHIPPING + VAT CHARGES

We previously announced our intention to charge VAT in September, but we encountered a small accounting hiccup that has required more time to resolve than we anticipated. We are diligently working on this matter, and we expect everything to be properly accounted for (see what we did there) by the end of October. As a result, we plan to charge for shipping and VAT in mid-November.

DELAY FOR PRINT COMPONENTS

Prior to sending the print files to the factory, we decided to conduct one final round of editing for all the texts. We received a lot of valuable comments for improvement, even though the material had already undergone multiple stages of proofreading and editing. This led to a crucial decision:

  1. Send the files to the manufacturer as they are, or
  2. Implement the changes and delay production.

In our commitment to delivering the best possible game (we know, everyone says that), we have chosen to implement these changes. However, it does result in a production delay. Currently, we anticipate production to conclude at the beginning of Q1 2024, with games expected to reach you in early Q2 2024.

PLASTIC PRODUCTION

We do have some good news to share: the production of plastic pieces is complete, and they are now awaiting their print component companions before being securely packed into boxes and shipped to you. Right below this update, you will find some pictures from the factory.

We genuinely appreciate your patience, and keep flicking.

Best regards,

The Iron Forest Team

Update on Shipping and VAT charges
7 months ago – Thu, Aug 17, 2023 at 03:54:04 AM

Hello friends,

Right off the flick, we are sorry for being quiet for so long and not giving an update. We are going to use the summer as an excuse and just say that everyone's vacations got in the way (which is true). However, this means that we are behind on charging shipping and VAT. On top of that, we are waiting on some info from our accounting to finally make this happen. Current estimate is that we will be charging all of you in the second half of September.

Now the good news, the production for plastic is in full swing and we will send you some photos in the next update that we promise is not going to take as long as this one did. We are also waiting on the final schedule from the factory so we can set the final shipping date estimate.

And, finally, in the last update we said we would filma a video to show off the pre-production copy, and we hope to make that happen next week.

Happy flicking!

Pre-production sample and VAT/taxes & Shipping update
9 months ago – Fri, Jun 30, 2023 at 08:32:55 AM

Hello friends,

First and foremost, we wanted to share some exciting news with you. We have received the pre-production sample of the full game and the Emperor, Pawclaw mini expansions from the factory. 

Pre-production sample

The pre-production sample looks great overall, but we did encounter a minor issue with the colors of the risers. However, we have already resolved this matter. Therefore, we are proceeding with the production phase. Next step is receiving a fully-fledged production copy of the game. Additionally in one of the upcoming updates, we plan to create some videos to showcase it.

Charging VAT/taxes & Shipping 

Regarding the charging process for VAT/taxes and shipping, we are now entering this phase. The charges will be processed at the end of July. We will provide you with a prior notice before initiating the charging process. This step necessitates us having the final numbers for the factory. If anyone still has items in their order that have not been paid for (we have sent reminders), please follow up as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in us being unable to guarantee the delivery of your items.

Happy flicking and see you in July,

-Iron Forest team

Last call for Pledge Manager!
10 months ago – Fri, May 26, 2023 at 09:53:06 AM

Hello friends,

We just sent all the print files to the factory and are starting production ASAP.  However, we need the final quantities and some of you have not yet finished their Pledge Manager surveys. This is your last call to do that until June 4, 2023. Those who have not filled out the surveys should have received an email from our team or Backerkit. Please fill them out!

On other news, we will be receiving a full production sample in a couple of weeks, so we will have a bigger update then.

Happy flicking!

12 months ago – Mon, Apr 10, 2023 at 10:49:28 PM

Hello friends,

Just like we mentioned in the previous update, we are re-opening the PM for late late pledges (promise, there won't be late late late pledges or the re-re-opening of the PM). PM will be open until 16th of April. Here is your chance to add something you or someone you know wanted but did not manage to add. 

Happy flicking!
