Publishing Deal Signed
Hello Friends!
I wanted to let everyone know that I have signed a publishing deal with Game Salute. This means that I can focus all of my energies on my passion - game design and art.
Game Salute is a company who lives and breathes this stuff. They have the knowledge, manpower and connections to make sure the business side of the equation it done correctly. This includes manufacturing, marketing, sales, warehousing, shipping and all other aspects of bringing a game to market.
I will still be keeping you up-to-date on the manufacture of the game, but I wanted you to know it will be professionally handled from here on out. No matter how strong I think my work ethic is, I am only one person, and it makes sense to be part of an experienced team. This will ensure we deliver the best product possible on the schedule promised. For those who pledged for artwork and/or signed copies of the game I will be mailing them directly. All others will receive their rewards from Game Salute. Our goal is still a September time frame.
Game Salute will also be releasing the Heads On Tails expansion along with the full game, and we plan on releasing the Long Necks expansion in early 2013.
There are just 3 days left in the Heads On Tails Kickstarter campaign. You can pick up a full copy of the expansion for just $5. We think the added tiles and cards are worth it!
You can pledge for your full copy of Heads On Tails at the link below!

All $8 and under pledges have already received their rewards. I will only be sending out updates as I have news. Everything is done, we have a manufacturer and we hope to go to print in the next few weeks. He still have a September release target. I will provide an update as soon as we go to print.
Creator Joseph Bullock-Palser on June 15, 2012
Is there any update that you can provide? I notice $8 and less backers should've already gotten their things (April 2012), but I didn't hear anything about it. Is the full copies still on track for September 2012?
