Again, using my lunch break to keep you all informed. It's been almost two weeks since my last post, mainly because I've been hesitant to write about how I can't show you what we've been doing recently, mainly because there isn't much to show for it. Such a large gap might make it seem like we've stopped if I let it continue, though, so I hope you don't mind that this post isn't very substantial.
In short, the area seeing the most progress has been design. We have a bunch of pictures scanned in using the high-quality scanner at my office - I need our artist to look through them, and hopefully fix his broken computer, because otherwise the drawings won't progress much past the scanned-sketch phase.
Playtesting is possible for me to do alone, and I will do so if I really need to, but we much prefer to playtest as a group. Suffice to say, if the delays due to schedule constraints continue as they have, I'll probably do it myself.
We really need to speed things up if we want prototype shirts ready by Anime Boston...well, time to bring the approaching deadlines to the attention of my friends.

Shirts and Printing
So, I figured I'd use my lunch break at work to update any readers on what's been occurring on the development and production end.
Playtesting round two is, unfortunately, not yet finished - Jeremy bought a new card game, King's Blood, and that's what we've spent the majority of our free time together doing. Still, it should be done fairly soon.
The area seeing the most progress is the practical side of things; I've discussed some prices with my soon-to-be-proud-owner-of-a-screen-printer friend, and looked at different blank shirts we could possibly buy in bulk. I'd really like to see some of the potential shirt choices in real life, though...It feels wrong to buy 36 and upwards of a shirt you've never seen, worn, or touched.
Either way, our total price per shirt (without shipping) seems to be ranging from $5-$6...So I'd like to set the price at a tentative $10. Ideally, I'd want it to be lower, especially for launch! But seeing as how we're giving away free shirts at Anime Boston, we have to at least recoup our losses. Does $10 sound like something you'd be willing to pay?
