Hey everyone,
Quick fulfillment update!
Zombie Overlord has officially left the manufacturer and has been picked up by our freight forwarder.
The current scheduled departure from the port is September 19th. At this point, everything is still on schedule and we remain on track to begin fulfillment in November.
I’ll be keeping an eye on the shipment as it makes its way over, and if anything changes with the current timeline, I’ll post an update here. But for now, everything is moving according to plan.
Custom Zombie Portraits
One quick reminder for anyone who ordered the custom Zombie Portraits:
If I’ve reached out to you by email regarding your character and you haven’t seen it, please take a look in your spam or junk folder just in case it ended up there.
That’s all for this update. The games are officially out of the factory and one step closer to your tables!
Thank you again for your support.

Production Check-In

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to drop in with a quick production update.
There isn’t a huge milestone to announce this time around, which is actually a good thing. Everything is continuing to move forward as expected, and the project is still on track.
Mass production of Zombie Overlord began about three weeks ago, and right now we’re mostly in the waiting portion of the process while the manufacturer works through production.
We're waiting on the Life Point Trackers and the Holographic card to arrive.
We have a couple of the remaining Custom Zombie Survivor characters to finish up.
My artist and I got a little out of sync over the past few weeks due to a combination of vacations and family scheduling, which slowed those last few portraits down a bit. We’re back on track now and working through the remaining characters.
Other than that, there really isn’t much drama to report, which is exactly how I like production updates to go.
Everything is still on schedule for Q4, and I’ll have a much more exciting update once we start seeing finished production pieces and get closer to freight and fulfillment.
Thanks again for sticking with us and for all the support!

Production Update: Sample Review Complete + Mass Production Moving Forward
3 months ago

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a quick production update for Zombie Overlord.
Since the last update, we received the production sample from Dofine Games and completed our review. Overall, things are looking great, but we did request a couple of minor adjustments before full manufacturing begins. These are small refinements to make sure the final version is where it needs to be before everything goes into mass production.
The big news: we have now paid the mass production deposit, so we are officially moving forward with manufacturing. Dofine Games will begin production as soon as the requested adjustments are completed and confirmed.
This extra review step added a little time to the pre-production process, but we still feel good about the project timeline and are continuing to work toward our November delivery goal. As always, I’ll keep you updated if anything meaningfully changes.
Thank you again for your support and patience. It’s exciting to see Zombie Overlord getting closer to becoming a finished game, and I can’t wait to get it into your hands.

Manufacturing Update: Files Submitted!

Hey everyone,
I wanted to give you a quick update on where things stand with Zombie Overlord.
Last week, all production files were officially submitted to the manufacturer! This includes the base game, stretch goal content, and all of the card updates and additions that were completed after the campaign ended.
Since the Kickstarter wrapped up, I've spent time making a number of small improvements throughout the game. Most of these were minor styling and presentation updates to help create a more polished final product. I also finished several new character cards that are now included in the production files.
The next step is the digital proof review process. I'm currently waiting to hear back from the manufacturer, and I expect to receive the digital proofs sometime this week. Once those are reviewed and approved, we'll move into full production.
While I wait for the proofs, I'll be turning my attention back to the remaining custom Zombie Portrait rewards. Many have already been completed, and I'll continue working through the rest so everyone receives their personalized artwork as soon as possible.
Overall, everything is moving according to plan, and we're officially one major step closer to getting Zombie Overlord printed and into your hands.
As soon as I receive the digital proofs, I'll share screenshots and another update so you can see exactly what we're reviewing before production begins.
Thank you all again for your support.

PRESIDENT’S DAY SPECIAL

Introducing the final additions to the Holiday Horde:
Unyielding George
Resolute Abe
These undead legends are officially joining Zombie Overlord as the last characters added to the Holiday Horde lineup!
Even though the Kickstarter campaign has ended, I’m still working hard to make Zombie Overlord the best possible version of the game. That means continuing to improve the artwork, expand the world, and add fun little surprises whenever I can.
George marches forward with unwavering determination, while Abe keeps his distance with razor-sharp aim and nerves of steel. Together, they bring a little presidential chaos to the apocalypse.
We’ve had an absolute blast creating these Holiday Horde characters, and I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do.
More updates coming soon
