The 4

Book Size Adjustment
over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 27, 2024 at 04:39:38 AM

Hey everyone,

We’ve got an important update to share with you. Recently, we printed a test copy of the book, and while it was exciting to see it come to life, we realized the pages were hard to read. After careful consideration, we’ve decided to make the book larger for better readability.

Originally, we planned to go with a smaller size, but now we see it just doesn’t do the book justice. “The 4” isn’t just about the story—it’s about the incredible artwork and detailed illustrations that bring each apocalypse scenario to life. The smaller size makes the text difficult to read, and the images lose their impact. These stunning visuals and complex drawings are an essential part of the experience, and we want you to enjoy every detail.

Because of this, we’ll need to redo the entire layout and make adjustments to the text. We didn’t expect this at this stage, but it’s necessary to deliver the best version of the book to you. As a result, we’ll need to extend the deadline by another 3 months.

Additionally, we’ve taken another look at the toolkit case add-on. After testing it, we realized the original case design wasn’t as user-friendly as we hoped. So, we’re excited to announce a new version—it’s going to be a multipurpose bag. This new design will be not only practical for storing your toolkit, but also perfect for traveling or daily use. We’re confident this will make the add-on even more useful and versatile for you.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best,

The 4 Team

Hi guys, 

How you’ve been doing? Hollywood continues to release projects that have inspired "The 4." The latest one is "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." We’d love to hear your thoughts on it, so please share your comments!

We apologize for not including the Pandemic Chapter in our May update. At the time of that update, all additional illustrations for the "Pandemic" chapter had been completed. Here is the updated timeline:

As you can see, there are some adjustments in the rewriting phase. This phase will take a bit longer than initially planned and will extend till July. Simultaneously, we will also begin the layout phase in July, working on both aspects to stay on track. 

Here are new book spreads:

Thank you for your comments, we truly appreciate your patience and enthusiasm.

Warm regards,
