– New partnership

We are excited to announce that a new partnership for Under the Dog is established! We should be able to officially announce more details soon, but for now, we just would like to let our backers know that Under the Dog, which started out on Kickstarter, will now expand beyond crowdfunding!

This is all due to your support. We thank you again and again, and please look forward to seeing what comes out of our new partnership!

Q: What does this new partnership signify?

A: It means that Under the Dog project will enter into a new stage. The original Kickstarter project will also come to its completion with the delivery of rewards. (Support will continue until the spring of 2017.)

– Rewards delivery

Physical rewards

We are coming very close to finishing the production of the rewards. However, due to the printing schedule of the printed items such as artbook, the shipping date must be now pushed back to late December after X-mas. For the physical rewards, all items must be procured before parcel packing can begin. With the rate we are progressing, the timing for shipping will overlap with the holiday season. As you know, December is the busiest month for postal services around the world. Due to the sheer volume of parcels being handled, unforeseen delivery accidents can occur in high frequencies (damaged or lost, delays, shipped back to sender due to no pickup, etc.) In order to make sure that the rewards are delivered to our backers, we have decided to postpone the shipment to late December. We sincerely apologize for the delay.

Digital rewards

As for digital rewards, we plan to make the staff commentary, soundtrack and Kickstarter PV downloadable on October 31. These will be the first half. We will send out a notification once they are ready, via Update, email, Kickstarter, and SNS. The remaining digital rewards (the second half) will become available for downloading on November 30.

– Timeline

So to sum up everything mentioned above, the remaining timeline for Under the Dog Kickstarter project looks like this:

October 31 – Part 1 of digital rewards downloading becomes available (until end of year)

November 30 – Part 2 of digital rewards downloading becomes available

After December 26 – Physical rewards shipping begins

March 31, 2017 – Rewards support ends = end of the Kickstarter project
