ALL Voluntaryist Suit Saga One campaign perks have been shipped out!
Virtually everyone should have received their perks by the time of this update as all perks were shipped out 2 weeks ago, the week of April 15th.
If you did not receive your perk package, PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out to us at mr.voluntary(at)gmail(dot)com
We want EVERYONE to get their perks, so we will track down what happened right away and send you a replacement if your package was lost in transit.
That said, we know TONS of people did receive their perk packages already because we’ve been getting tagged non-stop with people showing off their goodies!
Thank YOU for sharing the Voluntaryist love and letting us share in it as well.
Please do tag us on Twitter/X at @jackvlloyd or on Facebook if you do show off your perk pack.
It feels great to see the arrival and join in celebration!
Speaking of celebrating, we want to continue thanking our comic book sponsors each month as we update you on the launch of the sequel, Suit Saga II.
We want to thank TUTTLE TWINS for their generous support on our Suit Saga One campaign.
Connor Boyak and Elijah Stanfield released a new book that is for a more mature teen+ audience: Tuttle Twins and the Days of Darkness!
This choose-your-own adventure story is an apocalyptic scenario where your choices can have DIRE, GRAPHIC, consequences.
The choose-your-own adventure style makes for a thrilling read with the more serious tone and dangerous conflicts presented.
Voluntaryist Suit Saga One has closed with RECORD-BREAKING success.
I am FLOORED that we managed to unlock EVERY SINGLE LISTED STRETCH GOAL before close.
This is the most successful Voluntaryist single-issue comic campaign of ALL TIME with our reaching 220% of goal!
And, with record-breaking success, comes RECORD-BREAKING BONUSES.
Thanks to your generous support, each backer at the print comic tier and higher will be receiving 6 bonus perks in addition to your print perk pack.
This includes:
A bonus character turn sheet of a new Voluntaryist character, Leebertas.
A bonus character turn sheet of a new Statist character, Fiat Ferret.
A bonus die cut sticker of a new Voluntaryist character, Replevin.
A new Voluntaryist team art print.
A new Statist team art print.
A cover artwork teasing my new standalone series, Voluncap One Shot, the girl with the black and yellow costume and No Step on Snek tee you’ve seen Pho cosplay as.
As you can see, it’s going to be a STUFFED perk pack!
It’s my honor and pleasure to be a part of this Voluntaryist universe expansion process and I cannot wait to show you the results!
Now that the campaign has ended, we need to go over the production process timeline so you know what to expect and what you need to do, if anything.
First and foremost, if you will be moving in the next few months, you can update your address on the campaign, and I will receive that update so long as it’s updated a week before we do shipment.
Follow the instructions here if you end up needing to update your shipping address:
Second, if you’re an ADVERTISEMENT BACKER, please make sure that you get me your advertisement content by or before January 31st, 2024.
I sent out advertisement specs, templates, and information by email, and it looks like everything should be good-to-go otherwise for advertisers. If you have any questions or concerns lingering, feel free to reach me at mr.voluntary(at)gmail(dot)com.
As far as the production process is concerned, here’s what we’re currently looking at:
Indiegogo needs to release the funds for us to move forward. They can take up to 15 business days, but we’ve seen them typically process within 7.
Once we get those funds cleared, we’ll be able to work on getting our merchandise purchased and any bonus art items finalized.
We’re currently ahead of schedule on the comic’s production, so we should be able to move much faster than we have before. Most of what’s left is creating the bonus perks and getting them printed and shipped to us along with the comic merchandise and extras.
It will probably take 4-5 months to wrap up all of this if all goes well. I anticipate it should, so I imagine that we will be able to fulfill everything FAR AHEAD of our campaign estimated delivery date of December, 2024. If we’re agile, you’ll have everything by the end of spring, beginning of summer at the latest.
We will be making a monthly update on Indiegogo about our progress, so please make sure to check back at https://igg.me/at/suitsaga to see where we’re at in the process.
I will also post progress updates in parallel on the Voluntaryist Website here.
I try my best to be as responsive as possible to all questions, so if you have any questions or concerns, please always feel free to reach out to me at mr.voluntary(at)gmail(dot)com.
I’m looking forward to more good things as well, including some AMAZING projects we have coming up in 2024. So, stay tuned as we launch even more creative works next year!
Also, if you have not done so yet, check out the Voluntaryist Origins single issue remastered editions on Indyplanet.com. The single issues were not a part of this campaign, only the trade paperback. So, if you want to round out your Voluntaryist collection with those, you CAN with print-on-demand service at: https://www.indyplanet.com/?s=voluntaryist
Wishing you and yours peace and prosperity into this new year!
