Major production UPDATE – ALL Maps Completed!
This update has been a long time coming and we apologize for not updating last month but now we are able to let you all know that we have reached an important milestone in the project!
The cartography has been completed – phew!
Yes it took longer than we estimated. Yes we know you are all anxious to get the Atlas and yes we are sorry for it taking longer – but this was a project that we knew would be difficult BUT we always deliver even if it is a little later than planned.
So our next step is to layout the maps in the book – the text is already in layout with gaps for the maps so don’t panic the layout is mostly done!
We have a bit of checking and tweaking to do with the maps as we put them into the book and Wiggy and Rob will be making these tweaks over the next few days.
We plan to release the PDF version within the next 14 days depending on the time it takes to get the maps into the book. We’ll be sending a download link to all backers via your kickstarter email (or your store email if you backed via the TAG store).
We want your help at this stage – we want you to feed back any issues you spot with the text and maps so we can make further corrections. We could spend some time doing this ourselves before sending the Atlas out to you guys but we don’t want to hold it back any longer.
We will hold of printing your copies of the book until we have had this period of checking. We only have one shot at the printing so we want to catch any issues before we commit to print.
We’ll setup a forum on the TAG website for you to feedback any issues and we can finalize the Atlas, send out a revised PDF and then commit to print.
So we are really, really close to the finish now and we thank you all for your patience!
We’ll update as soon as the PDF is ready to go.
