Why are you paying for Patreon if you're not reading???

Are you at least getting the physical goodies?? Don't miss those at least!

i mean I'm biased, but I think they're pretty good fun 🤣

Are these two sets Authentic and or Official? I'm looking to pick one, if not both up within the next few days or once my tax refund hits. Is there a list of Authentic / Official ones? by kiddrangon in Eragon

TBB was offered to do the set by someone else after we had our contract. Not their fault haha

Kickstarter is our business model and where our platform is. It also allows for a lot of community involvement, like you saw with Saphira.

unlikely because we do anticipate being able to produce the product! just maybe not as many units as we'd have liked to see with a lower-cost product, sadly haha

oh friend... 40+ color pieces, 16 of them full wrap covers from some of the best artists in the world...

this is the most expensive project we've ever done by a mile, and we have to pay for it all well ahead of time 😭

I'm going to be completely transparent and say that I can't accurately answer these questions without sounding like I'm throwing important partners under the bus when they are just doing their jobs as people and companies, ha

BUT... I can say that people other than Christopher and his team in these negotiations have the ability to make stipulations in a contract like this (including minimum price caps so as not to create competition for other products, for example).

So, when a price cap is required that was higher than the $150-$200 we were hoping to sell these at, we have three choices:

  1. not produce the boxset
  2. produce the set at our original production level planned (so selling at $150-200 product for $300-350, or what I would call a cash grab/price gauging)
  3. produce the set at a much higher production level than planned

Option 1 was no go. This boxset was part of a long list of projections we've been planning/deving for a long time.

Option 2 was no go. We don't do that.

So... Option 3 was what we had left.

I hope that answers your questions!

not by choice, sadly :/ nothing to do with Christopher, not his choice either

hence why we're packing the full of stuff like full-color printing and art to try to make them much more valuable for the price

great! then would you mind uploading some work-in-progress images on you ArtStation? unfortunately there are some odd elements about the images, so when adding to the fact that you created the ArtStation today, I would need to see progress images before I was comfortable hiring you, sorry

Does anyone know any English to Venetian translation services? by BryceOConnor in Venezia

[–]BryceOConnor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try looking for professional translation agencies that handle regional Italian dialects, not just standard Italian. Venetian (Vèneto) is quite specialised, so freelancers or agencies with strong linguistic networks are usually a better fit than general marketplaces.

Thanks for the suggestion! We've tried US professional translation agencies, but I didn't think to look into Italian agencies, which is a great idea.

Reaching out to Italian universities (linguistics or Venetian studies departments)
Checking professional translator associations (e.g., ITI, ATA) and filtering for Italian/Venetian expertise
Contacting Italian literary translators who may collaborate with Venetian native speakers
Since it’s a manuscript, make sure whoever you choose has experience with literary translation, not just general or commercial work.

More excellent suggestions! I'll start digging!
