Latest Updates from Our Project:

Let's Make Things Right.

Hey everyone, 

So I know it's been a long haul here... Many of you may feel that this project would never get delivered, and if it did, how could it possibly live up to such a long delay? How could I possibly make this up to you?

As you know, much of the delay has been due to me moving to So Cal, changing jobs, and having to get acclimated and settled. Well that time has come, and it's better than I had hoped. As you know I wanted more flexibility to do what I wanted with Alien Ink and these projects; to be able to make them how I would like, regardless of their funding goals. 

That time is here, and I've decided to make it up you all by printing this deck with the USPCC. It will cost me another 10-12k over and above the project's funding goal, but I can now do that, and it will allow me to print them with the quality and pedigree they deserve. You can look forward to this being the start of that trend with our decks. 

Beyond that, this projects sold nowhere close to 5k decks, which means... I'll have lots of extras to send out with your rewards in addition to what you've all pledged for, and that's exactly what I'll be doing.

I hope this will go a long way to showing you all that things have changed here, and there is much more behind Alien Ink than ever before. There is much more to do, and I'll update as things progress. I would like to have these in your hands by the holidays, and you'll all know if that will be possible very soon as I dig a little deeper. 

I'm making this update public, as I'm sure the community outside of KS has had a few choice words about this project and A.I. in general and I want it to be clear to everyone interested in Alien Ink to know our next move to repay you all for having to wait so long. 

I'm much more settled, so please ask any questions you may have and I'm happy to converse. I have had a few of you ask what to do, since you have moved since the project funded, and I will send out an APB to anyone that needs their address changed right as I'm about to ship out the rewards. 

Thanks again for waiting, and I hope this comes across as me doing my best to make things up to you all for waiting after supporting this project when so few on KS did, and helping me realize my vision. 

Please let me know what you think, and also keep in mind that something along the lines of metallic ink is also on my mind so any ideas from you in that regard are welcome. 

Graciously yours, 

-Alien Ink

Still here :)

Hey Everyone! 

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here and things are going well. Things are tapering off as I acclimate to my new job and I'm moving closer to my work soon, as well as changing my role there so I'll have more hours in my day. This means more free time to start moving this all forward finally.

I wish I could design cards as career, and pay all my bills with my passion but I've got to make this job work for the moment. I think it will be good for the company in the long run to have this full-time job, as there won't be as much pressure and I can really pursue it on a personal level. I'm sorry that I had to make that transition during this project.

I also wanted to let you know that the website www.alieninkcards.com is still mine, I'm simply in the process of updating it, and possibly changing style hosting providers. I'm not in any way disappearing, and you can all still reach me at any time you wish through KS.

I'm very much looking forward to finally getting these printed, as I'm sure you're looking forward to getting them. That's all for now, but please know that things are getting better and moving closer to delivery, and I'm always around. 

You will of course be kept up to date as things change and develop closer to a quick print and ship.
