New Monday Feature.. STATUS UPDATES!
🕑 Added 2022-06-13 14:22:24 +0000 UTCHey everyone, Jason here. This is our first week of full staff after a bit of COVID in the office, so I apologize for not having this ready last Monday. It was just bare minimum staff working in different locations, so we had to work on the most urgent items. Anyway, after posting our questionnaire two Friday's ago, it seems like the two biggest information struggles are onboarding and status. We are working on both here, and I have an update on status for everyone.
First of all, George posts the current status on Mondays at Discord and at our site: https://buttonshygames.com/pages/bgotmc-status.
But there are a few big things to note...
- It's 3 weeks out of date, as that's right before the COVID break. Instead of posting this week I told him to hold off as we reformat, but the update is below.
- We are going to start posting it here too. We've never done it because I didn't want to blast everyone''s inboxes but when there are delay's it's probably more helpful than hurtful.
- This format will be completely changing as it's not as informative as we'd like.
Speaking of the new format, see below. Here's how we're starting to work on it. This isn't pretty as it's just our google sheet for now, but we will pretty it all up once we are sure it's all crystal clear. To understand it, just look for your reward level and you'll see your status. We've updated some of the titles of the reward levels as well, just to make sure it was all clear.
Now this now process doesn't include the itemization of the package or anything like that. It's all planned to be there, but I wanted to get this update out nice and early. So I will just list the wallet games at the top so everyone knows which is which. By next Monday this will be all cleaned up and formatted.
April 2022.
Wallet Game: The Forest Sky
Role Playing Game: The Family Dinner (shipping with May 2022)
May 2022:
Wallet Game: ROVE: Expansion Collection
Role Playing Game: None as this is an off month
June 2022:
Wallet Game: Exploring Galapagos
Role Playing Game: Time Travel Entertainment, Inc.
For July's package, we will have a preview soon (maybe next week?) and we'll start including it here as well. As of now I expect July to start shipping out the first week of August, and if all of these dates are hit, we could even ship August in August. Fingers crossed, I want this more than anyone. Pushing hard to make it happen.
I know there are lots of additional questions I'm sure. Please ask in the comments if anything here is confusing. Just keep in mind it's a work in progress.
Thanks everyone!
-Jason

Thank you for the update

I really like the idea of these weekly updates. The more communication, the better!

I really like having this posted on Patreon. I don't regularly visit Discord or the website. This is really useful.
Robin Keller
Thank you very much for the update, but the most important thing is that you all made it through Covid more or less unscathed (thats at least the vibe I'm getting from the post and it makes me happy!). Have a good one!
Button Shy
Yes, we're just sending out the April one today, and about a week before we mail out May we will post the May one.
KevinR
Cool. Thanks.

There is the $25 US level which is "Limited - Everything plus RPGs" and there is a "Limited Everything" international level too I believe.
Button Shy
There are so many variables, and I'm happy to see we've caught most of them here :)

Just posted below. Sorry I didn't realize that wasn't done here (and the team just reminded me as well). It looks like Forest Sky will start shipping once the answers are completed. George is posting it today.

George is working on it now for today. After I posted this, someone here reminded me as well. So it looks like we'll be shipping Forest Sky out right after the answers are received.

I don't recall a "choose your game" post since I accepted Squabblin Goblins, which looks to have been the March game. Did I miss the intervening posts?

Button Shy typically puts out a Patreon post before shipping out a month that would let you swap out a month's wallet game with something else, but it doesn't sound like such a post was made for April or May.
Sara Roswell
I appreciate your hard work! I know it must be a lot with Covid and everything especially! I joined April 5th. Would I get April’s package? Also I backed ROVE on Kickstarter all in back in April (not knowing about the Patreon discounts or options for backing). I’m excited to get it so no big there, but is there a way to choose a different game for May? Thank you!
Sara Ramsey
This was my thought as well!
ch_craft_
What is the title of the $25 reward level?
Marguerite Yao
Yes, that was my first thought as well.
Zylo
Really appreciate the update, glad to hear the team is doing better after their run in with covid!

As an International tier patron, I really like the clarity that these bring! The Status published by George on Discord is excellent, but does not fully reflect my tier (shipping every 2 months).
Stephanie Jones
If April games are supposed to start shipping this week...I don't think I ever saw where we got to pick...it doesn't matter as much for April for me as May will...have I already missed both April and May's?
