Frontwing Monthly Schedule Update (May)
almost 4 years ago
– Wed, Jun 17, 2020 at 01:10:00 AM
Hello everyone,
This is the monthly status update of Frontwing projects of the past month of May. As we said in the comment section, we gave more priority to the project progress update posted on June 4 and thus the monthly status update was set to be published after that. Sorry for the inconveniences.
Production for the English Blu-Ray of Grisaia Phantom Trigger: The Animation and Sharin no Kuni merchandising is progressing. However, the situation of international shipping from Japan has still not changed since the last update. We will keep monitoring updates in the postal system and keep you informed, sorry for the inconveniences.
Although we are organizing the shipping schedule for all the projects with the help of our shipping and warehouse providers, we are currently focusing on Grisaia Phantom Trigger Vol.3, 4 and 5 and Wonderful Everyday. We will start by shipping these projects as soon as the current situation with international mail is solved, and we will inform you with individual updates. We are also moving forward with the manufacturing of ISLAND’s rewards, which is the next project in the shipping queue.
GPT: THE ANIMATION: Production: Underway (+92%) / Shipping: Underway *UPDATED
Detailed status: editing and manufacturing of English Blu-rays in progress.
SHARIN NO KUNI: Production: Queued (+83%) / Shipping: Queued *UPDATED
Detailed status: production of physical merchandise is proceeding to its latest stages.

Greetings everyone,
We hope that everyone reading this update is safe and in good health! Although the coronavirus (COVID-19) is still affecting our daily life in Japan in various ways, we're slowly moving toward resuming our normal lives. We hope that everyone stays safe during these difficult times.
In this update, in order to ease the worries of our backers about the VITA version, we will inform you of its current development status and share some screenshots of the development version of the game.
■VITA ver. development status and screenshot showcase:
Although there are some restrictions on the information we can divulge about the development of the VITA version and we haven't been able to share much until now, today there’s some good news we can share with everyone.
We have already cleared many of the steps necessary in order to manufacture the game, and, except for the latest debugging steps, it's already in a stage in which we can show some of it to you.
We have selected a few scenes from the debug version of the game that you can see below! (Please keep in mind that these screenshots are from a title in development and thus the final product is subject to change.).
A scene featuring Natsumi
A scene featuring Sachi
A scene featuring Toka
A scene featuring all the heroines
And...
A scene featuring Hozuki
We do not have any intention of giving up on this project, and we’re determined to make these beloved characters reach our backers. We will continue working hard to achieve this as soon as possible.
■About physical merchandise shipping:
With the exception of a few, most of the goods are already waiting to be shipped in our warehouse. Although we expect to be able to ship them during this month, international postage/air mail from Japan is still unavailable for most countries due to the effect of COVID-19, and thus we will inform you in future updates about the definitive shipping schedule.
This is all the information we wanted to share with you today. We do know all these large delays are worrying and inconveniencing our backers, but we will continue to work in order to fulfill our promise. Thank you, once more, for your patience and understanding.
Frontwing Monthly Schedule Update (April)
about 4 years ago
– Fri, May 01, 2020 at 10:12:09 PM
Hello everyone,
This is the monthly status update of Frontwing projects.
First, we would like to address something that we have already mentioned in campaigns that have been recently updated: although we are progressing with reward production in many of our projects, we must also inform you that currently international shipping from Japan to many countries is heavily restricted (you can find more information in the following link: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2020/0423_01_en.html ).
Due to this, sharing with you specific shipping timeframes has become difficult: we will keep manufacturing the items and monitoring the situation with postal services, working to ship rewards as soon as it is possible. We want to apologize for this, and ask you for your understanding.
Detailed status: although we are progressing with shipping preparations for individual items, slight delays have occurred during the manufacturing process. We will inform you when all items are ready to ship.
GPT: THE ANIMATION: Production: Underway (+90%) / Shipping: Underway *UPDATED
Detailed status: as stated in the last update, production of the English dub has finished and we’re proceeding with editing and manufacturing of the Blu-Rays.
SHARIN NO KUNI: Production: Queued (+75%) / Shipping: Queued *UPDATED
Detailed status: production of items in order to ship them separately from the game as we announced in previous updates is proceeding smoothly (more information here).
Project Progress Update #19: Merchandise Production Almost Complete
about 4 years ago

（* 日本語バージョンはページ下部にございます）
Greetings everyone,
Today we want to share with you our progress with the preparations for shipping the physical merchandise except for the game, a plan we shared with you in the previous update.
Here's a first look at some of the goods:
Artbook:
Cover
Natsumi’s profile gallery
Toka’s profile page
Original Aluminium Bottle:
Size comparison with a regular laptop
You can also hang it
All the goods, including the ones shown above, are being stored in our warehouse and on standby for shipping.
Artbooks waiting to be shipped
As you can see here, our plan for shipping the merchandise is currently proceeding smoothly. However, as you might know already, the current situation with the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is affecting postal distribution of items around the world. Right now, international mail service from Japan is not available for a great number of countries, including the United States, and this will pose a problem if the situation continues. New information about this issue comes up very frequently, so we will keep monitoring the situation and working to find solutions for this.
■ Regarding the status of the Vita version
The project team is aware that one of the backers’ major concerns is whether or not the Vita version can still be manufactured. The main cause of these concerns is the delays in the development of the game, for which we take full responsibility. Our sincerest apologies.
Some backers have implied that development and production of the Vita version may have come to a halt. However, we can assure you that this isn’t the case. Development of the game is still underway, as we have said in the previous update. We’re afraid that we’re unable to reveal many details due to various restrictions that are in place, but all the procedures required to manufacture the Vita version are currently in progress, and we are working as hard as we can to deliver the rewards to our backers.
In the event that the situation changes for the worse, we promise to be transparent towards our backers and make an announcement immediately.
We deeply apologize again to our backers for all the time we have been making you wait, but we will do everything that’s in our hands to improve and go forward with this project until the end. Thank you very much for your support and understanding.
Detailed status: we are prioritizing the manga since it's one of the last rewards remaining in this project, but 2-3 weeks may be needed until shipment while we arrange reward shipping for other campaigns.
Detailed status: although we were working as fast as we can in order to have these projects shipped during the month of March, it has not been possible and we want to deeply apologize for this. The current shipping estimate is for it to start from 2 to 5 weeks from now.
GPT: THE ANIMATION: Production: Underway (+85%) / Shipping: Underway *UPDATED
Detailed status: we are currently preparing an update for this project that will be posted in the next days.
SHARIN NO KUNI: Production: Queued (+65%) / Shipping: Queued *UPDATED
Detailed status: we are currently planning to send physical merchandise except for the game in a separate shipment: more information in the last project update.
