Hey Slashers!
GREAT NEWS! The MPC was received, reviewed, and approved, which means Mass Production is complete. Now the factory will begin packing everything up for shipping. As we wait for the games to ship to us, we'll be preparing a video of the expansion, as well as getting fulfilment ready on our end.
Until then...
It's almost TIME.

MPC En Route 📦
18 days ago
– Wed, May 01, 2024 at 08:56:11 AM
SLASHERS!
A quick but exciting update! We've just received word that the MPC versions of the Time Warp expansion plus our additional Kickstarter rewards are en route for our approval. Tracking currently shows we should have them in hand by Monday evening.
From there we'll review, provide the factory approval, and they will finish packing up all games and put them on the boat. We will also be recording an unboxing / walkthrough video of the different components once we have the expansion in hand.
If you're not already, be sure to follow us on socials to keep in the loop on all behind the scenes and new developments: https://linktr.ee/mixtapemassacre
More to come...

Manufacturing In Progress / Boring Admin Work
about 1 month ago
– Fri, Apr 19, 2024 at 07:39:18 AM
Hey Slashers,
Since our last update, manufacturing has been going great (but as we all know from other Kickstarters... this is a long process). We're currently waiting for them to finish printing, as when printing is complete, they will be sending us the MPC (final manufactured copy of the game) for us to approve. From there, once we provide approval on the final copy, they will pack up all the games and put them on the boat and send them our way.
In the meantime, we've been doing the boring admin work such as:
- Approving box markings on the boxes everything will be packed into so it's organized for shipment and to be received at our warehouse
- Approving shipping plans
- Providing approval for our copyrighted goods to go through customs
- Ordering additional rewards and packing supplies on our end to be prepared for fulfillment
As you'll see below... examples of... the real "exciting" stuff
VIDEO
Originally we were going to record a video with the PPC of the game, but as we started recording and looking at some of the character pieces on the video, we realized this would not be a good representation of the game (as all pieces in the PPC are not cut the same way they are during manufacturing). So once the MPC is received, after approval, we'll record a video as it should properly be done.
Until then, we hope everyone is enjoying their Spring. We'll have more fun news once the MPC is on our possession.
Stay safe (but not too safe), and let us know if you're currently have any Mixtape game nights. Be sure to tag us on the socials.

Mass Production Underway
2 months ago
– Sat, Mar 09, 2024 at 08:06:47 AM
Hey Slashers!
Checking in to let you know that the manufacturers returned last week from their holiday and mass production is underway. During their time away, we used that time to revise any files that needed editing such adjusting colors, cut lines, final proofreading of all materials, etc. But now, all files have been submitted and mass printing has begun.
This process can be almost 2 months, so during this time, we'll be getting all additional rewards ordered and printed (shirts, pins, etc)
Below you'll find some photos from the PPC version of the game we received with some of the contents of the expansion:
We were delayed due to our day jobs and travel on getting the video together, but hope to have that ready for the next update coming in April. Until then, thanks for all the support, slashers!
Everyone have a great weekend!

PPC Has Arrived

Hey Slashers!
After weeks of waiting and delays due to shipping issues, the PPC has arrived to us for review.
Next Steps
We will be spending the next we reviewing the different components, and provide any updated files to the factory to prepare for final manufacturing. We will also be putting together a video for socials which we'll share the link to on here once ready and available.
Please note: the factory is currently on break as of February 3, and will return on the 25th, which works out well for us, because we can finalize all files during this time and have the items ready for production for their return.
Look for our next update within the next week once we've finished our review.
