(This same update is also posted on the original Dodos Riding Dinos campaign with first-hand news about availability of the remaining stock of promos in the US, we apologize in advance with backers who will be getting double email).
Hello Dodino Island!
It's been a while since the last update but we are delighted to share exciting news with you, the very first to believe in Dodos Riding Dinos!
We hope you have enjoyed playing the game, and if you are looking for some options to refresh your gameplay experience, we've got you covered and will find where to find them in this update. In a nutshell:
Visit us at Gen Con booth #905 to get a free Dodo hat, or buy promos, pins and plushies!
Our webstore is live (US-only for now, other regions coming soon)
Visit us this weekend at Gen Con (booth #905)
Come get a free Dodo hat!
We also brought some of our limited plushies of Osborn & Reynaldo and a Dodo baby. Plus an enamel pin with Anning & Elena (Plesiosaur from Dodo Dash).
Quetza & Ladder arrive to Gen Con!
(...and if you are not at Gen Con read below about our webstore)
This Racer is inspired on the mascot from the Quetzaladder award that Dodos Riding Dinos won in Mexico back in 2019. It has a unique ability and we brought enough copies to satisfy demand to Gen Con.
But if you can't come to Gen Con or ask a friend who has come, don't worry! We have finally revamped our webstore (still working on upgrades but it is functional now!)
To celebrate this years-long milestone, we created a coupon code for you, which expires on September 1st.
You can find the Quetza & Ladder as well as the last spare copies we have from other promos, which we promised to share with our backers first in case you didn't add them to your Backerkit survey.
Shipping is free on orders above $100 in case you want to add a couple of games too...
Right now our webstore portal is only for USA.We are working to have Europe and Mexico portals available by October (on time for Essen); Australia and other regions of the world will be ready after that. Thanks for your patience!

Just a friendly reminder about the new Dodos Riding Dinos: First Race being live on Kickstarter. Last days!
Even if you are not interested in the new edition, you can get some upgrades for your copy of Dodos Riding Dinos! Including a FREE star projectile pack for returning backers.
Finally, we are delighted to share that Dodos Riding Dinos was one of the 10 elected submissions for ideatoon24 by Pixelatl !!!
Pixelatl is a Mexican association dedicated to promoting the creation and dissemination of graphic and audiovisual narratives, to expand the Latin American offer and extend its audiences globally. Among the multiple initiatives they manage is Ideatoon, for the development of animated intellectual properties.
We are grateful and honored for this news with the prospect of an animated series and excited for what the future may bring!

Local pickup starting (except CDMX)
10 months ago
– Fri, Mar 29, 2024 at 11:22:30 AM
Hello Dodino Island!
This is a quick email with final instructions for:
Local Pickup in Mexico (in Spanish, first section of this update)
Quick note for the few backers in the US, CA and EU still waiting for the rewards (second section of this update, please scroll down).
For the rest of the regions, the status is pretty much the same as last week's update so please refer to the previous update
Please note that if you completed your survey or placed a preorder in February or March, your order is likely to be in a second wave of fulfillment (starting soon).
Local Pickup en México
Tenemos noticias importantes: Para CDMX y BCS la fecha ha cambiado, para otros estados la fecha de entrega se mantiene para sábado 30 e incluso hoy mismo. Favor de leer el detalle abajo.
Recuerda que en este momento no hay cambios de la tienda donde seleccionaste recoger ya que el producto se ha contabilizado de manera exacta y enviado a cada tienda.
En las siguientes tiendas puedes pasar a partir de mañana (sábado 30 de marzo) a recoger tus recompensas. Recuerda presentarte con copia de cualquier identificación oficial y dentro del horario especificado:
Juega + Juguetería (GDL) Entre 11am a 2pm o entre 4pm a 8pm
Troya Juegos (QRO) Entre 1pm y 8pm
Draco HQ Puebla (Coffee & Dragons) Entre 12:30pm y 5pm en Coffee & Dragons
En las siguientes tiendas puedes presentarte a partir de hoy y en el transcurso de la semana. Recuerda presentarte con copia de cualquier identificación oficial y dentro del horario de operación de la tienda.

CDMX - Nueva fecha: Viernes 5 de abril
Para quienes ya planeaban asistir, lamentamos muchísimo informar que nos vemos forzados a empujar la fecha de entrega una semana más para las tiendas en CDMX. Recibimos muchísimas solicitudes de personas que estarían fuera de la ciudad por semana santa pero más importante aún, a pesar de que enviamos el producto hace unos días, no tenemos confirmación de llegada por parte de la empresa de envíos Travisa (ni por código de rastreo, ni llamada, ni correo). Sospechamos que es por semana santa, incluso cuando habíamos solicitado entrega para día siguiente y no nos notificaron de algún cambio.
Si no puedes asistir, podrás pasar en días posteriores en el horario de operación de la tienda pero es muy importante que no lo postergues más de una semana porque debemos retirar de la tienda producto sin recoger. Recomendamos ampliamente que pases el primer día (5 de abril).
Esto impacta a las siguientes tiendas:
El Duende (CDMX) + Draco HQ CDMX
Raven Folks (CDMX)
Orc Stories (CDMX)
Nalua Juegos (CDMX)
Habíamos decidimos agilizar lo más posible ya que la urgencia compartida en general por la comunidad mexicana por recibir sus juegos ha sido muy notoria, en gran medida por la falta de experiencia patrocinando proyectos en Kickstarter (no es una preventa ni una transacción de compra usual ya que el producto sigue en desarrollo cuando se lanza la campaña). Hemos tomado aprendizaje de este local pickup (el más grande de todos nuestros proyectos) para aplicar cambios significativos en otros proyectos futuros.
Y como entendemos su frustración y sabemos que vendrán más memes en grupos de Facebook respecto a este tema, no podemos más que unirnos a su frustración y arrojar un meme para nosotros mismos — con la certeza de que cada vez estamos más próximos a terminar con TODAS las entregas, ahora solo faltará CDMX y tendrá todo nuestro enfoque.
Te garantizamos que no descansaremos ni daremos el proyecto por terminado hasta haber entregado a todos nuestros backers o dado resolución en caso de cambios particulares.
En este grupo podremos compartir notificaciones de manera más frecuente para local pickup CDMX. Es un grupo antispam por lo que sólo administradores podrán enviar mensajes. Para soporte, favor de comunicarte a [email protected] con el asunto "DRD soporte a backer".
Preventas externas a Kickstarter
Esta actualización es pública. Si no eres backer de este Kickstarter con selección de local pickup, sino que participaste con una preventa de manera directa con una tienda (y externa al Kickstarter) como Amukiri, deberás coordinarte directamente con la tienda para la recolección de tu preventa.
Amukiri (BCS)
El envío se encuentra retrasado y llegará en Abril 3. No tenemos patrocinadores directos en el proyecto que recojan en Amukiri pero dado que fue una tienda listada, publicamos esta información para quienes hayan participado directamente en la preventa de Amukiri (de manera externa al Kickstarter).
Backers in the US, CA and EU still waiting for their rewards
These regions have been fulfilled for the most part, the only exception are a few backers whose order includes items that are not available in their area and currently in the process of inventory shift. We will reach out to you to determine your preference:
A) Wait a bit more time so inventory shift finishes and all the items in your order arrive at the same time.
B) Sending the items that are available and either refunding you or crediting in another project the cost of the items that can't be currently fulfilled.
This shortage of items is for some languages of Babbey & Kux promo and a few promos from War for Chicken Island. This happened because of two reasons:
1. There were some mistakes during fulfillment by our logistics partners sending incorrect languages (even though our backer lists were correct, and the items have different barcodes and SKUs). While we tried to retrieve most of them, not everything was able to be retrieved, leading to shortage of some items.
2. When fulfillment started, one of the fulfillment partners noticed that their stock levels were not accurate (as shown on their dashboard to which we have access and refer to when planning shipping).
Being promos, we don't overproduce these to move them in traditional distribution. Now we have to send stock from some regions to others. We deeply apologize to backers affected by this. We will reach out to ask your preference. Even though more than 95% of the backers from these regions got all the items they ordered, we regret the fact that not all of our backers will be able to get all the promos they ordered at this time. We are still looking for solutions. And in any case you can count on us following up and compensating in some way to backers affected by this.
All other regions
Status is pretty much the same as last week's update so please refer to the previous update.
--
That's all for now, but we will keep you updated about news in the next update, most likely with a status change for all regions that have not been fulfilled yet.
Happy Easter! We hope you find some dino-sized chocolate eggs. ROOOOAAARRR!

If you have any inquires or need assistance you can reach out to [email protected] with the subject "DRD Backer support". Note that we are receiving a higher volume of emails so our response time is currently longer than usual.
🇺🇸 US – Fulfilled by Gamerati: ✅🎊Shipped! ⏳ With very few orders pending to ship due to the inventory shift of Kux & Babbey. We are still working on this and deeply apologize with backers affected by this. We are coordinating to send all copies left with other fulfillment partners to Gamerati.
🇨🇦 CA – Fulfilled by Pick & Pack Logistics: ✅🎊Shipped! ⏳Let us know if you haven't received your game so we can follow up with them. There are a few orders on hold, waiting for items in French (primarily). We are coordinating the delivery from Happyshops or Gamerati, so these orders can be completed.

LOCAL PICK UP MEXICO
El momento ha llegado y primero que nada queremos agradecer su paciencia infinita para el fulfillment de este proyecto. Fue un reto logísitico para nosotros traer todo un contenedor completo con 18 pallets a México desde China directo pero ya están en oficinas.
Cajas y cajas con nuestros amigos de Detestable Games y en bodega, cada día despachando órdenes nuevas.
Las tiendas que nos apoyan con entrega local son:
El Duende (CDMX)
Nalua Juegos (CDMX)
Orc Stories (CDMX)
Raven Folks (CDMX)
Caravana Gamelab (GDL)
Juega + Juguetería (GDL)
Troya Juegos (QRO)
Ami Comi (MTY)
Amukiri (BCS) - Donde se debe confirmar horario de recolección, enviaremos los detalles via Whatsapp.
Adicionalmente, si seleccionaste recoger con el equipo de Draco Studios, se hará entrega en Puebla y en CDMX. Debido a que no será posible entregar en oficinas haremos entrega en tiendas. Estaremos en comunicación directa via Whatsapp para reafirmar lo siguiente:
Si seleccionaste Draco HQ en CDMX, deberás presentarte en El Duende, donde estará Will.
Cada tienda tendrá una lista con las recompensas del backer que decidió recoger su juego ahí. NO se puede recoger en otra tienda, tiene que ser la tienda que elegiste al llenar tu encuesta.
IMPORTANTE:
Deberás presentarte el día sábado 30 de marzo en la tienda que hayas elegido al llenar tu encuesta de Backerkit en el horario que la tienda ofrezca.
Presentar INE y pasaporte en original y copia (esta se la quedará la tienda para temas logísticos de nosotros), y firmar la copia de recibido una vez entregado tu paquete.
Si no puedes asistir por tus recompensas, puedes pedir que alguien mas vaya a recogerlo. Asegúrate de que esa persona lleve su INE, tu copia de INE, y que tu nos envíes un correo a [email protected] con el sujeto "DRD Local pickup" para poder avisar de esto a la tienda. Es importante que nos avises de esto directamente a nosotros, para centralizar la información que nosotros le haremos llegar a la tienda.
Sólo se contempla el día 30 para entrega. Si no es factible que tú o alguien más recoja, tendremos que dar seguimiento caso por caso, ya sea por envío de paquetería (costo adicional) o de otro modo. Queremos evitar complicar la coordinación para las tiendas que amablemente han ofrecido ser punto de recolección. ¡Ayúdanos a lograrlo!
Es importante mencionar que si bien no hubo ningún cobro de envío para Local Pickup, nosotros como empresa sí incurrimos en costos para estas entregas (por esa razón, en campañas posteriores si hay un costo por Local Pickup). Por favor ayúdanos a maximizar que el porcentaje de entrega en Local pickup sea del 100%
