Lessons learned
As we approach this campaign’s fulfillment, we, as the Axo team, have learned a lot from this Kickstarter.
The importance of word count and setting hard limits for the writers was one of the first. As much as we like adding more detail and substance to the world we are creating, giving the writers total freedom can lead to the project having a more significant scope than what we anticipated. At the same time, this extends the world and the book and enhances the material it also creates delays in the pipeline and budget as we had to take into account more pages than originally planned.
The importance of the layout artists and the trouble close come from changing layout constantly. The layout is one of the pillars of this kind of project, and not having a stable team behind this part ends up causing delays as the team changes, and the timespan from the artists as they adapt to the previous style varies.
The speed and quality control of the Proof of prints. We have our base in Mexico and shipping times vary between distributors, and we are searching for a balance between time and cost of shipping. The cheapest shipping can arrive up to 4 months later. For this wave of Proof of prints, we believe that we have found the best option with the balance between the two options, shipping of ~80 USD and arrives in two weeks. We have enhanced our ability to detect printing errors and the limits of the Lighting source printers, how certain colors that look good in the PDF don’t translate to the final print. We are far from saying that we can have books without any mistake but we are in a level of quality we believe is the one you deserve.
Our aim is to continue helping and promoting more Latam creators in their projects and bring you all around quality content. We are preparing some surprises in the next months and as part of Zinequest 3. We will update you when they are ready.
