Production Updates
over 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 03:58:24 AM

Hello again mighty adventurers!

Despite our efforts, the games won’t be arriving this year as we initially estimated. The main problem being the global disruption on the supply chain for all things coming from China and fulfillments. We encourage you to read this very well-written article from the Kickstarter team in case you’re not aware of this situation yet.

Here are some other articles about it:

•  China experiencing a shortage of containers.
•  Ships stopped outside ports.
•  Overlook at this situation from a Game Board perspective.

We don’t have an accurate forecast for when we’ll be able to ship the games, but we are aiming for early 2022. As soon as we have more info on this we’ll let you know.

Cool Stuff

The good news is that we are taking advantage of this setback to further polish and improve the game and all of its components.

Here are some sneak peaks of what we’re working on:

Aesthetic improvements

Like enhanced card illustrations.

Last character illustration

This is the amazing legend card you unlocked in the campaign! With this last one, each one of the 22 characters you unlocked are 100% finished.

BRAND NEW Darkest Edition box art.

It is right now in the vector lining stage, we can’t wait to show you the final result!

Remember that this is a Collector’s Edition only available during campaing and via pre order. You can still get yours here if you haven't already.

NEW Turn Token. 

It will be included in all game tiers as a cut-out cardboard.

We are already working with more polished physical prototypes and even doing demo events at local stores!

We still have lots of things in store we want to show you and are still working every day so Orbtale gets to its better version before it reaches your hands!

Keep fighting for the orbs!

Digital Downloads available + New Illustrations
over 2 years ago – Thu, Sep 02, 2021 at 02:44:45 AM

Hello dear backers!

As you can check via email, cards have began to be charged via pledge manager as we announced. Quickly I'll say, those whose credit cards are being declined, first contact your bank as this problem is out of our jurisdiction. It's not an issue with our platform, but with them as your credit card providers. 

But don't worry, we knew this could happen so there's still enough time for all of you to check solutions. And later down the process we would check in more detail with the ones remaining.

Reventure and Orbtale wholesomeness

Your Reventure Steam Keys and the Digital Goodies Pack links are ready to be sent! From tomorrow, you should receive a pledge manager email reminding you that you have digital rewards available. You can check them through that email or loging to your survey here and check on the "Get your Digital Downloads" button (you need to have your survey completed).

You should see as many codes as your pledge required (f.e "The minions" have 2 codes but "The Elder" just 1), and a link to the goodies pack if your pledge included it.

New character Illustrations

We want to share some new art, this time full of character *ba dum tsss* 🥁😉.

Items are already finished with the ones we shared some updates ago, and just need little retouches here and there.

Say hello to...

They're obviously crops from what you'll see on the cards. Some of them got their place into the Digital Goodies Pack so you can show them off on your PC or smartphone. Which one is your favourite?

That's all for today. We'll keep working hard to give the best quality product.

Best of orbs wishes to you all.

Last call about charging cards
over 2 years ago – Fri, Aug 27, 2021 at 03:25:03 AM

Today's a fast update I promise ;)

We wanted to update you about what is going to happen with your pledges from August 30th.

• $1- No reward: you'll receive an email telling you that, after 48h, your order will be locked. This means those are your last hours for upgrading from this pledge. Pass those 48h, we'll mark your pledges as fulfilled. That way you'll stop receiving annoying emails about completing your surveys knowing that you have nothing else to complete.
  
• $24- The Guard: we'll cancel and refund all "The Guard" remaining before cards are charged (we told you before no one is going to be charged that $200 placeholder).  Don't worry, if you're already in contact with us, we'll wait with yours in case you showed interest in upgrading before.
  
• Not available country: same thing as "The Guard". For not charging $200 they'll all be canceled.

Now an update on those that aren't completing their surveys. We ended up with a more flexible approach. Their pledges won't be immediately canceled, they'll be on a standby state. This means we still count with their pledges as usual, waiting for them to handle their pledges.

However, if we advance too far in the process, we might not be able to ship them on time for those without addresses.

Hope you're all doing great, we're excited with the progress and want to be able to show you more things in the future!

Back from Holidays!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Aug 23, 2021 at 03:03:54 AM

Hello again Orbtale adventurer's. The Pixelatto Team is back on track form a well rest😁.

How have you been? Have you enjoyed some leisure time too?😉

We want to quickly remind you some important stuff about deadlines, so please don't skip this update fast 😢

Pledge Manager closes by the end of August

We talked about pledge manager deadlines on this previous update (check out for more details). Now remember:

• Credits cards will begin to be charged August 30th. Check carefully your pledge manager and make sure that you have your credit card added and at least a provisional address. And that you're fine with what's shown on your total balance.
• Pledges that aren't shippable and/or haven't answered those relevant survey details will begin to be canceled and refunded a percentage manually by us. You've until August 28th (not included) to check everything if that's your case. We've sent several reminders to those implied, some of them even received personal emails from us on top of backerkit's ones.

(Para usuarios españoles: si no entendéis bien esta actualización, es muy importante así que podéis escribirnos para resolver dudas al respecto 🤔 Sobre todo es importante que reviséis que vuestros datos de envío y una dirección están añadidos en vuestro pledge manager para antes de que acabe Agosto).

What's next

As we said, we're working on the illustrations remaining, upgrading some odd and old ones, and completing all kinds of designing components... There are lots of things to cover, and in many languages, corrections from our manfutacturers, etc. On top of that we'll be carefully managing the end of this first phase of pledge manager data. The timeline is still the same as the one on the update shared above. 

TTS version issues

As some of you made us know, the TTS version of Orbtale is not properly updated. We have all the feedback and mistakes about it, and everything is fixed in our current version. However we won't be able to update it on TTS yet, and we are unsure of when will it be possible. We're sorry but we'll let you know when it's updated.

That's all for today. Let's keep fighting for the orbs!

Summer Holidays Update
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Jul 29, 2021 at 05:52:03 PM

You know that at Pixelatto we truly love what we make, but we sometimes need to rest like everyone else. That’s why our team will be on holidays🌴😎, and won’t be able to respond to any emails or private discord messages from the 4th of August to the 22nd of August.

We’ll be back strong Monday, August 23rd and focusing on solving last week problems you could have during that month.

Remember that the pledge manager is open to payment info and pledge changes until August 30th. 

And that you have until August 28th for solving unsendable pledges or at least add a payment method if you haven’t yet. For more information about this visit our past update.

Fiery T-Shirts for mighty dragons

We received sample T-shirts from our manufacturer!🔥 We couldn’t resist trying on ours and wanted to show you (so forgive us if some of them are a bit wrinkled).

Backers from “The Dragon” tier have 6 different designs to choose from on the pledge manager, so these are just our own favourites💙. We’re very happy with the quality of the print, the definition and colors. If you ask, they’re not plastic and rigid, they’re made with a technic that is directly printed on the fabric making it flexible.

About Digital Rewards

Now we know that we'll be able to send your Reventure Steam Keys when August ends. We're sorry for the wait, but we hope you enjoy your copies a lot! Also, when you get the Digital Goodies Pack, there will be more content as we finish more illustrations. We'll show the new ones when we're back from holidays.

That's all for today. We hope you have wonderful summer holidays as well, or have a good time if it's not summer where you live😉.

Best wishes

- The Pixelatto Team
