Hello, Dwellers of Eldervale!
Thank you for your patience. It has been more than a month since you have received an update and the latest Dwellings of Eldervale news. We held back sending this newsletter until we had concrete progress to share regarding the 3rd printing. We’re here and putting in the work every day to make it happen.
New Webstore, Buying Guides, Success
Hundreds of you have pre-ordered using the new Dwellings of Eldervale pre-order webstore! Thank you! Judging by the emails and social posts we have responded to over the past month, the Buying Guides we set up worked as intended and you all were able to find and order items that fit your interests and needs. Huzzah!
FAQ Page on WWW.DwellingsofEldervaleShop.com
Of course, there are still plenty of questions. And, we want you to have easy access to answers!!

Production Sample in the House
Progress!!! We recently received production samples from our manufacturing partners for the English language version and are very happy to share that all was looking good and we have given the green light to get the games packed up and ready to ship!! We had paused sending this newsletter until this sample was received and assessed. It is a great relief to be able to give approval and move forward.

3rd Printing Delivery Update - Current Estimate: July
On the FAQ page (link above) some of you have likely already read the following Q&A:
FULFILLMENT: When will my 3rd Printing pre-order be delivered?
Current estimate is July 2023.
This fulfillment estimate will be updated when games are actually on their way to regional fulfillment centers.
For this printing, the language editions were bundled. This has created a production delay. We know now this was a mistake. Starting with the 4th printing, future printings will have the English version printed separately!
As with all things that hold us back from achieving our goals, we can look back and see that there are other choices that could have been made. It is amazing how even after years of doing a thing there is always more to learn. We very much apologize for any stress these delays have caused those of you that have been waiting to receive the games you ordered too long ago.
