Fulfillment Complete!
3 days ago – Wed, Sep 30, 2026 at 12:36:17 AM


Hi everyone,

My shipping manager has confirmed that all rewards with complete shipping information have now been sent out from their end! They are still sorting through the tracking information, and I’ll send the tracking details out shortly via BackerKit.

For Heirloom Tier backers:
To avoid bending or damaging the art print, I’ve shipped the print and scarf separately for some of you. If you’re in the US, please also keep an eye on your mailbox, most of them are already delivered. Your game is on the way in a separate package.

A quick note for Deluxe Edition backers:
The metal tokens are held in fitted slots in the tray, but because they are fairly heavy, repeated movement and handling during international transit may cause them to work loose.

If that happens, simply place them back into their slots as shown in the reference images below. Sorry for the small inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding!
(Note: the 2 "spare" tokens are supposed to be under the sun/moon tokens)

If you don’t receive any shipping information from BackerKit within the next week, or if your game hasn’t arrived by the end of November, please reach out to me either through Kickstarter or at [email protected].

I currently have shipping addresses for about 90% of backers through BackerKit, so if you haven’t completed your survey yet, please make sure to fill in your shipping address as soon as possible. Chances are, if you haven’t received any shipping information, I may simply be missing your address! :P

The Trial of Lotus website has also been updated with audio, comic, player aid and a web based notebook tool to help with your gaming experience.

Thank you again, everyone. I’m so excited that Trial of Lotus is finally on its way to you!

Action Required: BackerKit Survey Deadline + Printing Files Sent!
3 months ago – Sat, Jun 20, 2026 at 11:06:56 PM

Hello everyone,

Good news! All final printing files have officially been sent to the printer!

Right now, I’m waiting for the final digital proof from the factory, and after that we’ll be locking in the production schedule.

Because of this, I need to lock all orders in 3 days.

Please, please make sure to complete your BackerKit survey as soon as possible, unless you are using the Pledge Over Time feature. If your survey is not completed, I WON'T have your shipping address, which means I won’t be able to deliver your rewards. Kickstarter does not provide your shipping addresses automatically.

I’ll also be sending out the digital rewards next week, once all orders are locked.

In the meantime, the enamel metal tokens have already been in production for a while, and I’m excited to share some WIP photos from the factory - these are straight out of the mould, before they get coloring -


And for anyone curious, here is the updated rulebook! I’ve revamped quite a bit since the campaign version.

Thank you so much again for your support — we’re getting very close to production!

Best,

Tian
