Wave 2 Production Complete + Photos
It's been a big month for us here at Mothership HQ. When I say 'us' of course I mean just me...and when I say 'Mothership HQ' I mean my house. But it makes it sound very exciting doesn't it?
Special Edition Box Info + Price
The box art features gold foil and spot UV on a matt black box. I loved the minimalistic style of the original box made in 2016 so much that I really wanted to bring it back. But, the front of the box is not the best part...the best part is what comes INSIDE the box...7 custom plastic trays to hold EVERYTHING.
First look at the Special Edition Box
Here's your first look at the Mothership Limited Edition box! It's reminiscent of the 1st edition special box from 2016, with minimal spot UV and gold foil highlights. If you think the outside looks good, wait until you see what's inside More info to come later this month.
Photos + Full Production Started
The sample from Boda Games finally came through for inspection and pretty much everything was spot on. There were a few things here and there that needed to be tweaked, but nothing major that would delay the project.
Production Update
Pre-production (the time spent finalizing files and artwork) finished at the end of June. The next step is creating a sample. That's what the manufacturer has been working on since July 1st.

Big Pre-production update + Manufacturer spotlight
The 1st Edition of Mothership was handled by a company named WinGo who are known for a few Kickstarter games. They were great to work with and the minis were fantastic, but quality issues with some of the printed materials and increasing costs made us look elsewhere for a new factory.
