Yep about £5. I hoping to open pre-orders by this weekend. I need to check the shopping cart works and check some final costings. Plus I'm still waiting to close on some items.

Its getting there. I just don't want to start taking orders and then something wrecks the deal. Best to be sensible, have everything ready to go and then open up pre-orders. :D

Thanks again everyone for your interest!

I for one appreciate the precautions, Pyongyang.
I'm really looking forward to getting a copy, but can wait till everything is properly settled.

Hey Pyongyang, if this turns out awesome, maybe these guys would be good for you in the future?
I don't know them (not sure if they're evil, or just chaotic neutral), but I noticed them at some point on twitter, thought I'd mention it.

Just dropping in to provide another word of support. This sounds like the perfect thing to help someone on the sidelines of the shmup scene get acquainted with the series, especially if there's an introductory article, and it'd be especially helpful to hand to some know-nothing arcade operators to give an idea of what the heck I'm talking about...

So yeah, totally gonna grab one when the opportunity arises.

Thanks again all for the interest! :mrgreen:

Still working away on the zine, I've got the final print samples and print quote now. I'm still waiting on some items to finish up. Generally though it is almost there. The PV video is half done, I didn't get as much time this weekend to dedicate to the project as I would like. Flying solo on these kinds of projects is hard haha!

If all goes according to plan then I should finally, at last, be able to open up pre-order next week and release all the details.

I just want to make sure everything is 110% first. :D

It's coming I promise. The majority is done, I'm still waiting on something and won't release any info until I've actually received it and it's 100%. That way I can put out the pre-order with no worries. :)

Soon come! :D

Good to see you're making sure you can deliver on your promise before accepting (pre-) orders.
Makes me all the more confident to pay you when you'll accept payments.

Looking forward to see the labour of your work. :)

Try not to burn yourself out for the first issue. Unless this is intended to be a one-time publication.

Thanks everyone. :)

It really is a one time effort I think. It is only 25 pages long and I'm on the verge of burnout already haha! But yes, until I can deliver 100% what I said I will deliver then nothing further will happen. Not long to go now. :D

He needs to sell 100 copies so i hope everyone who said they buy one does so. Pro-orders open soon so get your money ready. It would be a shame if he only sells 13 copies.

Just in case folks were wondering...

I'm still waiting on two things for the 'Zine to arrive.

However during the downtime, I purchased two books, which arrived this morning.

...so I am being productive! Honest! :mrgreen:

Thanks mice. :D

Use the shopping cart at http://buypinkbullets.bigcartel.com

It's not available to pre-order yet. I want these items tied down first, then I will start the ordering process. :)

Hi all!

A video update this time. Some news on where the Zine is at and a ramble answering some tags going around YouTube this week. :D

But I was wondering what kind of payment methods that will be accepted. :)

Hi Mice,

Just PayPal for now, I think that's all the cart works with. Though if you don't use PayPal I think it lets you guest checkout with debit/credit cards. :D
