A Grand Entrance for Visual Novel Grisaia: Phantom Trigger

Update on digital artbook & more!
almost 7 years ago – Wed, Aug 02, 2017 at 11:50:34 PM

Hope everyone is doing well, just a couple quick tidbits to share with you today!

First, apologies for the delays in getting the digital artbook ready and delivered to everyone. We're currently putting the finishing touches on it, and hope to get it out to all backers by early next week at the latest! It'll be sent out through BackerKit, so you'll receive an email when it's been distributed, and we'll post another update here as well!

We also wanted to give you all a heads-up on a new campaign we've just launched. The Kickstarter for Wonderful Everyday, also known as Subahibi, is live now and lasts until August 27! There are a ton of great rewards and some pretty enticing stretch goals, so be sure to check it out!

 

Grisaia: Phantom Trigger Vol.3 is out NOW!
almost 7 years ago – Thu, Jul 27, 2017 at 10:08:36 PM

Hey all! We just wanted to drop in and let you know that the third volume of Phantom Trigger is out NOW on Steam!  It's also 10% off for the first week, so take a click!

Preorders for physical copies and other goodies are still available on BackerKit, so if you missed out on the Indiegogo for whatever reason, that's your best chance to grab them!

We've continued to have our hands quite full here with both Phantom Trigger Vol.3 as well as some other things, but we're still working on getting the rewards for this campaign out to everyone! Progress-wise, everything including the physical copies (plus the bonus buttons and postcards) and t-shirts are now ready to be printed. We haven't quite gotten the manufacturing process started yet, because we're re-evaluating our whole fulfillment process from beginning to end in order to avoid any possibility of running into issues that we have with other campaigns. We'll keep you posted on everything as progress occurs!

Manga preview #2, Vol.3 Steam page, and shipping update!
almost 7 years ago – Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 11:45:24 PM

It's been a while since we've had an update, so let's dive right in to it!

First off, today we want to show off a couple previews of the Phantom Trigger manga adaptation, which is coming along quite nicely! The Japanese version of the manga is on track to be finished early next month, at which point translation will begin.

Also, the Steam store page for Phantom Trigger Vol.3 is now up! Take a look at the screenshots to get a little sneak peek at the game!

Finally, let's talk about shipping. In all honesty, we are fairly behind schedule with the production of a few goods. Most items, including the artbook, shikishi, tapestries, and blanket are ready to go. However, due to some setbacks, the English physical packages and the full-graphic T-shirt have not gotten to the manufacturing phase yet. Currently, we estimate they'll be finished and we can begin shipping around the first half of August, but we'll keep everyone informed of the concrete timeframe as work proceeds! We do apologize for the delays, and very much appreciate your patience.

Tohka 1:8 scale figure preorders!
almost 7 years ago – Thu, Jun 22, 2017 at 10:51:19 PM

Hey everyone! We've got a pretty cool announcement today we thought you'd like to hear about: over at the Indiegogo campaign for Phantom Trigger Vol.3, we've begun taking exclusive preorders for an upcomping 1:8 scale figure of Tohka, to be released by Chara-Ani!

This is a limited-time offer, so head on over to the updates page of the Indiegogo campaign for all the details!

We also wanted to take this opportunity to say that, while we initially didn't anticipate it being an issue, we have come to recognize that we may have alienated or unnecessarily confused some of our backers here on Kickstarter by the change to Indiegogo for the follow-up campaign. Our main intent was simply to be as transparent as possible about the nature and purpose of the Vol.3 campaign, but in hindsight we realize that the switch introduced a not insignificant level of complication and possible confusion. We'll absolutely be re-evaluating our approach to crowdfunding platform choices and related matters for future titles. In the meantime though, we still would love to see any of you who enjoyed Phantom Trigger Vol.1&2 over on Indiegogo for Vol.3 - and if you need any help with or have any questions about that campaign, don't hesitate to let us know!

Manga preview, Anime Expo, and shipping schedule update
almost 7 years ago – Fri, Jun 16, 2017 at 10:08:16 PM

Hello, hello, hello! We've got a smorgasbord of news for your today - and most of it is good!

First up, we've got a special exclusive for you: a first look at the WIP cover for the Phantom Trigger manga!

As we announced previously, the manga is still a work in progress, and is expected to be finished and ready to be sent out in late August. We'll share more previews with you as progress is made!

Next up, we announced this on our social media pages as well, but we wanted to let everyone know that we'll be at Anime Expo this year, July 1-4 in Los Angeles!

 

We have a panel, Frontwing TV LIVE 2017, on Monday at 9PM! We have a ton of exclusive announcements planned, so you won't want to miss it! The panel WILL be 18+, so please be sure to keep that in mind when making your plans for the convention! We'll also be selling merchandise during the convention - more details on this soon. We hope to see some of you there!

Finally, let's get to the not-so-great news. Production is continuing steadily on all of your rewards; however, due to a slight setback in the manufacturing of the full-print T-shirts, we unfortunately have to push the expected shipping date for rewards just a couple weeks to mid-July. We want to get everyone's goodies to you as soon as possible, but we also want to make sure that everything is of top-notch quality, so please bear with us! We'll post another update when we have a concrete date for shipping to begin.
