We are so greatly looking forward to the holiday season and we hope you are, too! 💖
We want to take a moment to encourage you to reflect and celebrate all of your accomplishments this year, big and small. Much can change in a year and we are so proud of you for persisting through it all! You did it, you made it to the end and now we're just on the brink of a new year 😉
Thank you so much for being here with us. We can't wait to see what new adventures 2025 will bring for us and we hope you continue being a part of our journey.
Season's greetings from the IV team and our wonderful community members at PAXU 2024. Our Tend jackets were super comfortable and may just become a uniform staple for us :)
Production Updates 🎁
We recently discovered a slight issue with the top lid lifting on the Brink Deluxe and Super Deluxe boxes.
Oop, a very shiny and full Deluxe Brink box
We only discovered this after repacking them with the new PPC (Pre-Production Copy) components we received last month. Up until this point, we were using a different set of prototype components, and they had fit more snug in the box compared to the new manufacturer samples.
But no worries, this will be an easy fix and we already have a slightly bigger box on the way to us from Panda!
We'll do another pack test in January to make sure it all fits perfectly before moving forward with the box production. All other component production is still ongoing in the meantime and we are still on the same timeline 👍
IV Studio will be out of office from Dec 20, 2024 to Jan 6, 2025 🫶
We're taking some time off to enjoy the holidays with friends and family, but we'll get back to addressing your questions and requests once we are back on Jan 6th, 2025.
OK, now go enjoy your holidays with warm drinks and quality game time!
We'll see you next year ;)

Hey! 😊 We're back for some announcements and production news. Stay tuned!
Brink Pre-Production Copy Samples
We have now approved of everything for production!
We just got a bunch of new samples in recently, including the $79 pledge version of Brink. This box size is smaller than the deluxe games with the dimensions roughly at 9 x 12.63 x 4 inches.
But more interesting is this look at the Brink comic book. This is the first physical copy of the comic and we're so excited for you to receive it in your games!
Also, here are the community hexes we worked on together 🤭 We love seeing your ideas come to life and being played in game! It's always a special treat to collaborate with you.
*We ship to most countries in the EU, but there are some exceptions due to shipping limitations. If you see the products are out of stock, then your region is unfortunately not within our regular shipping zones. We unfortunately are not able to ship to Asia, Africa, South America, or Australia from our webstore.
It's our biggest sale of the year AND there's a surprise drop?! 🤯
Introducing the Marauders Micro-Expansion for Moonrakers ⚠️

Keep Production Updates Batty 🦇

Happy Halloween! 🧛♀️
We've got a short and scary production update for you 🎃 (no jumpscares, I promise)
This past month we received a few more samples like the player and resource trays, and we've already sent our approval to the manufacturer 👍
Now we're currently waiting on some samples for the standard Brink edition ($79 pledge), since we haven't received that PPC (Pre-Production Copy) yet. We'll share images of those components in the next update once we have those in our hands!
We're quite close to approving all components for mass production and the molds were completed much earlier in the project, so production should progress smoothly once it starts.
Not to worry, we're still well aligned with the March shipping timeline and the Lunar New Year holiday was also factored in for the shipping times 😉
On another note, we've also been working on the Brink comic.
Here's a little crumb 🍪
That's all we've got. Spook ya later. We'll see you in November 🦃
oh wait...Zenith does want to share something with you.
The Tend Initiative has Initiated 🛸
There's also a Community Farm minigame for the Tend campaign and there's still so much to discover. Meg would want you to help us explore this new world 👽

Hey everyone!
Are you excited for the new season? Just as fleeting as Romeo and Juliet's love, summer has come and gone 🌅
Now that the pledge manager has closed, we are moving onto monthly production updates! 🍁
With plenty of GIFs in each update.
This month, we were finalizing files and receiving pre-production samples for approval. Mass production has not started yet, but we are in the final stages of approving the last few components and the mold are completed (so we're basically already mass producing, right? 😆)
Currently, we're just waiting on the player trays and screens to arrive for review. Once approved, we will give Panda the green light to proceed with mass production 🟢🐼
We also recently received some snazzy ships 🛸
Here are samples of the pre-painted minis that will be included in the Super Deluxe Brink games. We decided to change the pantone color of the ships and resource cubes to make them more distinct from one another and couldn't be happier with the result!
UA Flagship means war.
Shield Lattice has got big aura points and will remain semi-translucent ;)
Can't forget about the adorable player markers.
pew pew
Cargo all day every day.
In other news, we've been working on a packing/re-boxing guide just for your convenience! Each step shows the newest addition to the box in full color and opacity. We're hoping this can help you spend less time worrying about how to pack the game and more time actually playing games!
Plus who doesn't love a perfectly fitting box lid? 🙂↕️
Pack it all in 10 steps!
Ok, so October is right around the corner which means... a cozy game with a warm drink and blanket? 🎃 We've got just the thing for you.
Tend, our x and write game, will be launching October 29th!
It's got farming, fishing, mining, chopping, dice rolling, scratching, writing, and so many other -ing's for you to be enjoying. We can't wait to share it with you 🥰
space farming coming soon(ish) to a table near you
now go forth and flourish until our next update :)

Happy Friday! Congrats, you made it to the weekend! 🪩
Please make sure to complete your pledge manager this weekend to ensure you’ll receive your pledge on time. If you have already completed it, thank you so much! 🙌
The pledge manager is necessary for us to collect your shipping information and to confirm the amount of add-ons we need to fulfill your pledges. We use the data from the pledge manager to place our production order with the manufacturers. So to keep the project on schedule with its current timeline, please complete your pledge manager as soon as possible!
If you need any help with your Brink pledge manager, please email us at [email protected] with the subject line "Brink PM Request"

We've got the community cards and hexes ready just for your viewing 👀
Check them out below!

Ambassador Cards
Community Hexes
For those who joined us for the hex tile design livestream, Convergence Void might look familiar 😉
Super Deluxe Holographic Hex Samples
We've received some questions about the holographic art of the Super Deluxe version of Brink as people are making final decisions. Photographing holographic art is almost impossible and even capturing it on video can be pretty tricky, but we did our best to show you its shiny shine.
Labor Day Out of Office 🏃
IV Studio will be out of office next Monday, Sept 2nd for a US Holiday, and we'll be back in the office Tuesday, Sept 3rd. We'll be working to get to your emails as soon as possible!
