Megapulse Sample Coming Soon

Hey y'all!

So, we've been told the sample should be completed by October 15, so that's exciting! Brandon still had to tweak some files that were causing some issues. We won't go down the rabbit hole, but as mentioned before, Nicolas cut a lot of corners when prepping files and did not create separate layers. This means the ability to make adjustments is very difficult. Since he has disappeared and is the only one with some of the linked files, we had to get creative.

We found a way forward so that's good. Kudos to Brandon for working some of his magic to keep things moving!

Since many of you have inquired, the sample is so we can see if all files work functionally, have the same vibrancy, and are the quality we are seeking. What many don't know (we even learned right when we started Tangerine Games), is there needs to be room for deviation as what the factory prints for a sample is very different than mass production. They use different machines and different processes so we need to make sure we create something that retains it's integrity through mass production.

For example, this sample costs close to $1,000 as it is being manually produced. So the 3D printed hover cars will look very similar to mass production but we need to make sure it's free of inconsistencies because once the molds are created for mass production, it's too late to look back.

Another example, our sample bird minis for Nestlings had very specific points for the peaks and toes. However, with the mass production molds, those same points couldn't be replicated. So we had to make adjustments to the .STL file so the sample and mold minis looked almost identical. It's a whole process.

Sorry if this is boring you, but we just wanted to share it's more than a matter of submit files and click print. I know many of you know this, but it's still a good reminder. 

We will be forgoing the custom insert as it's just not viable at this time and many of you have expressed fulfillment is more important. We will however, try to create a paper insert so items can stay in place for those who desire this. It sucks, as the custom insert was gonna function so well!

Okay, enough for now. Thanks so much!
