The type of cover upgrade was decided by Twitter poll, to which followers and buyers voted overwhelming for a casewrap hardcoverhttps://twitter.com/TGAAzine/status/1499770810676178944. This final goal was finally reached on March 11, 2022https://twitter.com/TGAAzine/status/1502419095182000135.
To alleviate international shipping costs, the project promoted group orders for multiple countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, China, and the United States, since the majority of the zine's team was based in Australiahttps://twitter.com/TGAAzine/status/1490249883038908420. A giveaway was run from March 12 to the final day of preorders for one full bundlehttps://twitter.com/TGAAzine/status/1502852141987561472. The winner of the giveaway was announced to be Twitter user ShockingNesshttps://twitter.com/TGAAzine/status/1505513868713332736.
When preorders closed on March 20, 2022, the zine's team reported that over 1900 sales were madehttps://twitter.com/TGAAzine/status/1505778585952432128. As thanks, all physical orders would include a free bonus print of one of the promotional art pieces used for the project.
Production updates would be conducted primarily through an email newsletter. Physical orders began shipping out in approximately September 2022. Digital copies were sent out on January 11, 2023https://twitter.com/TGAAzine/status/1613403824290680832.
The zine's online store reopened to sell off leftover stock and digital copies beginning on Janary 25, 2023https://twitter.com/TGAAzine/status/1618473562750484480.
