Happy New Year Everyone!

All FORK pledges are fulfilled before the end of 2023. If you still haven't received your rewards or have any concerns, please message me and let me know.

Next Monday we will launch our new game AQUA, a 2-player set collection tile placement game of art. It consists of a collection of 18+ unique impressionist-style water-themed paintings I painted in the past six years. Please click HERE to go to the Kickstarter prelaunch page and get a launch notification. Don't miss the $7 Day 1 special.

For more information on the game, please go to our website https://www.sunrisetornado.com.

Thank you for your support on FORK and hope we will see you again in AQUA.

Cheers,

Fulfillment Continues
5 months ago – Tue, Nov 28, 2023 at 12:45:32 PM

Dear Backers,

Happy Holidays!

As of yesterday, the first phase of fulfillment was completed in mid-November, and I have heard many backers have received their pledges. This phase consists mostly of Pocket FORK. The second phase of the fulfillment is US only and it is almost done. We still have four packages that are still waiting for add-ons. The third phase or the final phase will begin to ship at the end of this week and the first few days of next week.

Shipments usually take about two to three weeks to arrive. If you do not receive your pledge by the end of the year, please message me and let me know.

Box FORK

PLEASE NOTE, that the back of BOX FORK states that the package contains stickers and hand-drawn player aid. Sorry, they are not in the box. They are in a separate plastic bag. If you intend to give away BOX FORK, please also give them the plastic bag that contains the two owl stickers and the hand-drawn player aid. Thank you for your understanding.

Deluxe Box FORK

We have about 70 copies of Deluxe Box FORK left. You can still order them on Backerkit before the price increases. Click HERE. 

Braille FORK

No, I did not forget. I am going to try to make a few copies of samples in Dec/Jan and will keep you guys updated. With luck, we can launch Braille FORK on Kickstarter after the summer of 2024.

AQUA

If you haven't heard, it's coming.

It's a new art game that uses the paintings I made in the past five years. Check it out on our website and Tabletopia :)

Hope you have a pleasant rest of the week.

Cheers,

Dear Friends,

We shall begin fulfillment this week. This week we will fulfill 30% of the pledges, mostly Pocket FORK. Backers should receive their pledges in around two weeks.

In the same week, this week, the printer will finish packaging Box FORK and Deluxe Box FORK. The first video below is for Box FORK, and the one after is for Deluxe Box FORK.

Next week, they will be delivered to the fulfillment center for fulfillment. If nothing goes wrong, everyone will receive their pledges before the middle of December. if you have any questions, please feel free to message me via Kickstarter.

Thank you so much for your support and patience. Hope you will enjoy the game :)

October Update!
7 months ago – Thu, Oct 19, 2023 at 12:42:58 PM

Dear Backers,

Sorry for the late update. Let's have some updates :)

PRODUCTION

OWL STICKERS. Every backer is supposed to receive two 2" owl vinyl stickers. We upgraded them to 3", yay! The printer did a good job making them, and they were all done in September. The glitch was the printer FedEx all 1500 stickers to me. Huh? They were supposed to be packed with a player aid hand-drawn by Lili Chin and then sent to the fulfillment center. Anyway, since the printer has a booth at the Spiel, I carried the stickers to the Spiel, so the printer could bring them back to China. 

ACTIVE PLAYER MARKERS AND COASTER. While I was there returning 1500 stickers to them, they brought me markers and coasters to approve. They are perfect. I LOVE THEM!!! As a reminder, use the fork marker only during the game. It's not quite suitable for dining :)

BOXES AND SCOREBOARD. There were a few issues with the graphic files on the scoreboard and boxes for Box FORK and Deluxe Box FORK. Issues are now resolved. Last night, we also approved the pre-production digital print, and they are ready to print.

FULFILLMENT - LOCKING MAILING ADDRESS

We are still shooting November for fulfillment. We also made a request to fulfill Pocket FORK first because it is pretty much ready. Nonetheless, we will be locking your mailing address very soon. Shortly after this update is posted, you should receive an email notification. You can use it to verify your mailing address and update it if necessary. If your address is still current, just ignore it.

SPIEL

Spiel '23 was a blast! Do you know what's my favorite thing to do? Meeting backers :) The world is getting smaller but having a chance to meet you guys is always a joy. Below is Mr. FORK, one of the FORK backers. He is a little more famous now because his name is on the game box LOL. Thank you so much for dropping by!!!

I also get to sign a few games. So happy to sign my little games. Do you know when singing games now, I sign them in Chinese :)

Finally, we gave away a pair of fox plushies daily. Freya and Fawna are one of the major attractions in the booth. People love petting them or poking them :) Congrats people!

Well, as always, if you have any questions, please email me or msg via Kickstarter. Thank you for reading the update and hope you have a wonderful day/evening :)

Cheers,

Essen Spiel 2023 and Production
8 months ago – Fri, Sep 01, 2023 at 09:29:45 AM

Dear Friends,

PRODUCTION / FULFILLMENT

Pocket FORK should be done in a few weeks, and a limited amount will be available to purchase at Essen Spiel 2023. For more information, click HERE.

Box FORK will take a bit more time to produce and pack because they have more components such as expansions and coasters. Nonetheless, they should be done by the end of September.

Fox plushies are done! Some of them are going to our China fulfillment today waiting to be fulfilled with games.

If everything goes as planned, fulfillment will begin in October, and you should receive your pledge in November.

We will be at Essen Spiel 2023 this year in booth# 2B131. That's Hall 2 - Booth# 131. Would you visit us and learn how to play FORK? If you are coming, don't forget to go early and get a raffle ticket to win prizes :) Click HERE for more information.

VOLUNTEERS

Do you have spare time while at Spiel 2023? Could you please come to help us with maybe just 3 to 4 hours to teach and play FORK? It will be fun :) If you are interested, please email me at [email protected]. Thank you so much in advance!!!
