May Update

Hi all,

May is coming to an end and it's time for another update!

Shipping

I'm happy to report that I managed to ship vast majority of both Kickstarter AND shop orders. Percentage wise around 10% of kickstarter orders left to ship with approximately 20% of shop orders still waiting to go.

As previously, we prioritised shipping kickstarter orders and, where possible, combined shipping into one box if the backer placed an additional order via shop. This was not always possible due to stock issues.

I now ran out of stock to send the rest of the items but, as we always promised to keep it transparent here's our action plan:

- We ran out of tshirts a couple of weeks ago and we placed an order of 300+ tshirts with our partner. These are currently in production and we expect them soon. They normally deliver next day but due to Covid-19 and their policy of social distancing the order is delayed. It shouldn't be too long until I got them here.

- We ran out of CDs and Vinyl. Peter is currently in Nottingham and he hasn't been to his studio (where stuff is) or seen his family in 3 months time. Nottingham is around 2.5hours drive away from the town where the studio is. He's currently recovering from pneumonia but he will attempt a 2.5hour drive to Peterlee, pick the stuff up. Drive to Manchester for 2hours and drop the stuff at my casa. Then return to Nottingham. Hopefully he will be able to do it next weekend.

- We ran out of Journals. I received a batch 2 days ago. Our artist is now working on the final batch of the journals but the current stock should last me.

I took the next 9 days off from my daytime job to resolve this backlog and get the stuff out to you.

Thank you for your continuing patience with this. Whilst we managed to hit the major milestones with this project certain events that were out of control are shafting the whole process. Naturally this is causing us a lot of stress as we also want it done and dusted asap. We are getting a hand of it though.

Address change

As always, if you have moved or want the parcel to be sent to a different address please email me at ash@peterconnelly.com and I will attempt to sort this out as soon as possible.

Press

We recently were interviewed by the Edge Magazine:

You can get digital version here:

If you run a blog/website do check out our press pack here:

http://trdarkangel.com/press

Our filmographer, Tina, is busy working on the documentary day and night. We (well, mostly her!) managed to film quite a lot of stuff so the decision is made to release it as a two-part film.

First part will focus on Peter and his time at Core Design. This one should be out soon (we're hoping for sometime this Summer). Second part will be focusing on the Dark Angel Symphony itself.

As previously, we will premiere these live with Q&A on our Facebook group so our kickstarter backers and those who made purchases via shop will be the very first to see it. So join if you haven't already:

The amount of info we gathered during this project is huge and Tina even produced a featurrete on Murti Schofield which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtjdwjLXEgo

Other news
Past few weeks, when I was asleep, my PC was busy upscaling and clearing a number of FMVs and trailers from Tomb Raider1-6. Check out my youtube channel if interested:

https://www.youtube.com/user/AshkaFiend/

We even got some unpublished early trailer etc there for The Angel of Darkness so do check it out!

And an absolutely shameless plug
It's my birthday on Wednesday 27 May. Many of the Dark Angel team were supposed to come over from all over the world for our small get-together this week. It was supposed to be our first gathering since the album was produced but, well, things went tits up.

I decided to play Tomb Raider: Chronicles live on Twitch, Facebook and Youtube. The stream will be on May 27 7PM UK time and you can set a reminder on the platform of your choice:

Chronicles is the game that actually got me into the franchise but I haven't played it in years so that should be fun... Hope to see some of you there!

TTFN,

Ash

Received my complete package today - the pendant, t-shirt and journal are beautiful, true works of art alongside the score. Very pleased.

LIVE Documentary Premiere

Hi all,

Hope you're all doing well in these times! Seems like the world is reopening slowly though things in the UK are not as great.

We're still working behind the scenes to ship the rest of the orders to you all. I'm happy to report that further 70 orders were picked up by Janice and her courier friend in a van!

I took Monday off to allow myself more time to ship more parcels over the weekend.

PRIVATE Premiere of The documentary.
Our videographer, Tina Ljubenkov, finished editing the first part of the documentary that focuses on Peter's time at Core Design. All backers and those who made a purchase in our shop will be able to watch the documentary a day before the public premiere. We'll live stream and myself and Tina will be there to answer any questions. We hope other team members will also join our stream. Peter MIGHT join, providing he will not be travelling to finally see his family!

The stream is on 19th of June, 18:30 UK time.

You can watch the private premiere (or set a reminder) in our facebook group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/3724...83925862349582

Make sure to answer a question upon joining or your request will be declined.

PUBLIC Premiere of The Documetary
And on 20th of June, on the 17th anniversary of the initial release of The Angel of Darkness, documentary will go live for the public. This will be streamed on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/trdarkangel...le_broadcaster

Peter is highly likely to join this stream so prepare your questions!

Kurtis' Journal
I was setting a stock aside for the team but it seems I've done it more than once. As a result we got 15 extra journals. Just to confirm, these are part of our limited 100 batch, not extra produced journals.

If you missed buying one you can grab one here:

https://trdarkangel.com/product/kurtis-journal/

TAXES
Polite reminder to our backers that neither us or DHL control taxes and duties. These are charged by your country's customs. We are pricing items on mass production value to ensure you don't get charged (or charged as less as possible) but ultimately it is up to your customs to charge you or not. Often they just charge you the admin fee (which can be anything from £9 to $20 depending on the country ). DHL pays the tax on your behalf so it arrives to you sooner and then they ask you to pay it back.

Bottom line is - we don't control taxes and neither does DHL. Sending a parcel via any other courier will result in the same charge.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS
I once again want to highlight that it's important that your address is up-to-date. We had a few parcels needing re-direction when the parcel was picked up by the courier already. We managed to re-direct these at a cost to us. We won't be doing it anymore (as we're not in financial position to do this) unless the backer agrees to pay the fees. Avoid the charge and by letting us know if you moved before we send your parcel! If you need to change your address email me ash@peterconnelly.com

And finally

Thank you all for your patience, support, amazing photos and encouraging words. It really means a lot to all of us <3.

TTFN,

Ash

Could be sooner than next week! Keep check tracking number as I shipped them 2 days earlier than I planned


On another note, today the last big'ish set of parcels left my casa. Only 11 parcels (7 from kickstarter and 4 from the shop) are left to go now but I need to wait for Peter to bring those.
Some cool stats:
Sent 1507 .
Arrived damaged 3 (replaced within days of the backer telling us about the damage).
I can now focus on regrowing skin and nails on my fingers and tend to all the papercuts.
I can't believe we made it. We promised to start shipping in December (and we have done so). We hoped to finish shipping February / March but Coronavirus decided otherwise. STILL, we made it without much delay. As a backer of multiple Kickstarter and Indiegogo projects I am very proud of this effort (I'm still waiting on a pledge for some stuff I backed eons ago and they started shipping 10 months later than announced).
