Update #12: Book of Puzzles in PDF!
Update #11: Flatpack: Catalog!
Here's the Catalog, it's got buildings, maps, all manner of neatness for your using pleasure.
I'd recommend right clicking and saving as. It's a thoroughly layered PDF, so you can just print the buildings you'd like.
Update #10: Updates! Book of Puzzles! Prints!
Book of Obstacle is nearly done! We called in a pinch hitter to help with the writing on this one, (hey +Renee Ritchie !) since I'm literally weeks from baby-time! The art is in, much of the writing is done, so I'm going to be laying it out. I suspect that we'll have a PDF for backers well before baby comes. This book is a lot of fun!

Update #9: Farewell to Fear, Our New Game
Update #8: Updates and Progress!
All the pieces for your pledges are coming in and fast!
*I've got a sample of the Book of Puzzles for you. It hasn't been through an editor yet, so things may change, but this is meant to give you a taste of things to come! http://machineageproductions.com/?attachment_id=1162
*The 3D Printer is in. We'll need another week or two to get it running and have some samples made. At that point, we'll let you all vote on your Special Thank you gifts.
*Lunch Boxes are IN! Decals are on their way.
*Working on the Building Pieces as we speak. It looks like they'll have magnet backings, so you'll be able to store them on your fridge and they'll slip around a lot less in the lunch box! Yay!
*You still have time to get me your information if you're getting a personalized building for the Book of Buildings.
*I have in all the art for the Book of Obstacles. My artists out did themselves, its all really SUPER charming.

Retailer WRENCH: This is for stores wanting to carry Flatpack: Fix the Future. We'll provide six copies, shipping included within the USA. We'll be marking them for retail at $21.99 unless something unexpected happens and we can afford a super big print run.

So, you can work that out with us directly, or through the bricks and mortar initiative.

Devon: I'll see what's up with that. You can also download it for free via Drivethru. I'll put up the link in a bit, when I'm at my desktop.
Kairam: Nope. Book of Buildings is the last thing we'll do as part of this development cycle. This is just the core book overheads, and the map tiles for basic play.
I have no idea what's going on with the link. I'm able to access it, so are a few people. But, it's inconsequential.
