What is Deadstock? Fashion's Hidden Fabric Problem
There's a noticeable silence around one of the biggest issues the industry is responsible for: deadstock and excess fabrics.
Made From Waste Reading What is Deadstock? Fashion's Hidden Fabric Problem 5 minutes Next How Do We Create a Circular Fashion Economy?
By Bee & Alpaca Store Jun 24, 2022
By now we're pretty resigned to the idea that mega fashion retailers are churning out clothes at a ridiculous rate, some reportedly up to 6,000 new items every day. Whilst we're constantly reminded of fashion's polluting impact with studies, figures and articles, there's a noticeable silence around one of the biggest issues the industry is responsible for: deadstock and excess fabrics. The average consumer probably isn't aware of the mountain of textile waste the fast fashion business model racks up, or what deadstock fabric even means.
When we talk about deadstock, we're referring to the piles of offcut or discarded fabrics that textile factories accumulate alongside their fulfilled orders, which can't be used for their original purpose anymore. And whilst it may sound like only a few scraps of fabric are lost, a figure from 2020 suggests $120 billion worth of unused materials are thrown into landfills, burned, or laid to rest in warehouses every single year.
There are a number of reasons why fabric may become deadstock:
Minor quality problems such as the exact colour tone requested cause rejections by buyers or brands
Brands often miscalculate how much fabric they need to deliver a certain amount of finished goods. Meaning they don't take the whole of fabric batches produced.
Sales and promotion forecasts continuously change, and sometimes brands need less of the fabric than they originally planned.
There's always been a disconnect between the ordered finished goods amounts and batch sizes of large manufacturing processes. For example some dye house machines can have large minimum batch sizes, so even if the fabric needed is less than that amount, it may get produced.
During the creative design process and mock up productions, there are always trial and errors such as small changes in colour or patterns which result in unused fabrics, although this is usually in smaller amounts.
A disconnect in batch sizes between continuous and discrete manufacturing steps. For example more fabric has been knitted than the dye process capacity so some of the material will be unusable.
It seems trivial to label fabric as deadstock just because it was dyed the wrong colour, had a slightly different texture or a few small imperfections and the brand rejected it, even though it's still perfectly usable. Our founder and CEO, Deniz , finds this the most exasperating fact of all. "Fabric can be labelled as deadstock due to minor quality problems - which in many cases are acceptable to customers - but don't meet purchasing or manufacturing order criterias, such as the exact gr/sqm density or colour tone requested by the buyers." It's a trivial reason to discard materials that have already been manufactured (using copious amounts of water and energy), and one many consumers might not be happy about if they knew.
Public pressure is growing for a more environmentally positive fashion industry. With fashion being held responsible for 10% of the world's carbon emissions, there's a pressing need to take action and switch to a circular fashion industry that rejects waste in favour of repairing, rewearing and upcycling.
The fabrics we use at Bee & Alpaca are sourced from mid-scale contract manufacturers, where we sort through the discarded inventory left from other brands and handpick the fabric that we think we can upcycle before it's sent to the scrappers. Because of the unpredictable nature of our fabric source, we can walk away with anything from a few rolls to hundreds of kilos worth, ready to take back to our atelier and transform it into something new. All of our designs start from deadstock, excess and waste materials, which is why we have great designers come up with creative ways of bringing them back to life. For more info, see our brand page.
Like many other sustainable fashion brands, ours exists to solve a problem brought on by our broken industry, turning an environmental issue into an eco-friendly clothing solution. By recovering rejected material and transforming it into something new and valuable that could otherwise end up being burned or sent to landfill, we are doing our part to solve the climate crisis. "The fashion industry has 100s of different sustainability problems, from water waste to landfill to worker rights, and there is no single brand that can tackle all of them at once," says Deniz. "By transforming deadstock materials into upcycled clothing, we focus on solving a few of these problems whilst balancing all the other aspects of the problem."
We acknowledge that using and reducing deadstock fabric is not the only saviour of our fashion industry, but it's a great place to start. Brands need to be focusing on innovating and creating solutions in order to solve the pressing environmental problem, and by doing so we can reduce waste and take another step in the direction of a sustainable fashion industry.

you know the aliens, I keep thinking because it's so rare to see anything, are they like multi dimensional, could that explain how they randomly appear and disappear. if you read about the new age beliefs it's like there are many dimensions and you gotta raise vibrations to go up higher, it's like the e.t races are good or bad and all at different levels. it's confusing when you think about it all but I get the feeling some of the spirit activity we expeirence can also be from e.t's as well as astral beings being responsible at times as well. I remember someone once said there's e.t ships in the sky now but you can't see it with your earthly eyes as there's a sort of cloaking technology going on so they can observe, I wonder if a spiritualist could see using the minds eye. I find this really interesting.
My theory is that UFO's, paranormal activity, cryptids etc are all the same thing, likely interdimensional versus ETs from other planets. Possibly time travel is involved somehow.
how do you feel about where people report ufo sightings and where they talk about the experience they explain it as being too advanced technology, especially the reports from years back. I'm just wondering whether it's some sort of military test ship but some of the odd shapes and lights and they way it travels so fast makes you think about it.
also how do you feel about crop circles? it looks very clever and too skillful for man to do themselves, it's said something people go out with a tool and create these crop circles when no one is watching, but from some of the photo evidence the skill and details are amazing almost like too advanced for man to do yeah.
I think there are positive and negative, maybe in all beings! That being said I think we need to be extremely vigilant...I don't think you should trust something or someone that says they are here to advance "Our" technology if we are taken against our will in the middle of the night.
I think anything is possible, the public seems to the last to know when the government are testing anything!
Crop circles are very intriguing. I believe people could and have made the circles but some appear to be even beyond the skills of men.
I'm sure some of the UFO's seen are likely military, but likely not all. The appearances of these seem to change, some have said they looked like nuts and bolts craft, but feel it was not really what the object was, that it was an artificial construct to effect what we may expect a UFO to look like. There may be a link between whatever these are and a person's consciousness.
I also like the time travelling theory!
there was this documentary thing on the other day, I forgot what it's called but matey was exploring underground passages and there's some places he couldn't go as security was watching and saying no can go here. there's rumours of this being a possible government hideout where they can live for over 30 days underground if any major problems occurred like war or an invasion. it stills feels creepy how this is all a secret and how it's just for themselves and not the people. I think it's believed that aliens were underground or maybe still are in the restricted passages and tunnels underground yeah.
I've seen many pictures of crop circles, that are way too large and with too high a level of complexity for a group of men to do in one night.
Great topic with a lot of intrigue!
Aliens have always interested me. Ever since I was younger, I had a strong belief that they exist and I can't ever explain it, it's just a feeling I get. I've always believed in different dimensions and that's how they get to us. That's just my thoughts on it though. I doubt were alone. There's more than just us on this world. These are just my thoughts though.
I believe that aliens are inter-dimensional entities with high astral energies. And I think the media is trying to potray those fake "ufos" as real ufo's. aka man made.
Edited by JohnHermes, 12 February 2019 - 02:21 AM.
If anything, I find aliens and UFO's even more mysterious than paranormal activity.. maybe they are one and the same!

How I must put it without even sounding very bad? Fine, here everything goes. The All Jackpots Casino review is about these jackpots. In fact, it is the statement, which also carries the best deal of the weight, thinking how many casinos games online claim giving "big jackpots on Web". I do not even have to point this out, however it is as well likely the similar casinos claim giving "biggest bonuses or promotions in whole world", and not to talk about "fastest payouts ". But, this fact of matter is no one will rightly quantify and nor actually qualify on which casino games is an absolute "good", "fastest". Any of the casino game that claims that they are the same than likely overcompensating and not showing on something.
Luckily, it is not a case for the All Jackpots online Casino, though they have the correct to brag on more games. To be powered by the Microgaming software as well as under ownership of new Jackpot Factory. The All Jackpots casino as well carries the eCOGRA recommendation. The monthly reports are also made ready by the independent auditors, as well as reflect the complete game that average to around 96%. Also, for these jackpots, and at a time of the review this cumulative progressive jackpots value are worth more than $7.5 million. Hugely famous Moolah Jackpot worth more than $5 million by itself.

UP! — Nerdy Chicks DO Rule! :D | Writer Side UP!
Talented authors and close friends with much in common, Kami Kinard and Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen founded Nerdy Chicks Rule with the vision of celebrating "nerdy" chicks 🙂 Since its launch they, along with guest authors such as Mary Zisk, have imparted post after post of invaluable information. Knowing them personally I can attest, first hand, to their brilliance. I've had the pleasure and good fortune to have attended workshops Sudipta and Kami have each presented (through the NJ SCBWI). They are not only gifted writers, but teachers as well! That's why last year when they gave birth to yet another "brain child"—Kidlit Summer School—I was THRILLED! It was a huge success and now in its second year registration more than doubled, boasting 700+ very happy participants!
This year the sessions run for a 3 1/2-week period, from July 20th through August 14th. Though formal registration is now closed (which includes eligibility for prizes, access to webinars, the Exercise Book and the Facebook group), anyone can review—YEAR ROUND—the many stellar lessons (on plotting) not only given by the esteemed 2015 Faculty, but those from last year, too (on character building)! Just scroll and you'll find them all 🙂 Trust me, if you are an aspiring (or even published) author or illustrator, these are lessons you want to check out—and they're FREE! You'll also want to mark your calendars for June each year, reminding you to check the Kidlit Summer School site, the #KidLitSummerSchool page on Twitter, and follow Kami and Sudipta on Twitter (Kami, Sudipta) and Facebook (Kami, Sudipta) so you're updated in time to register for full participation!
*Should you desire to do so, please feel free to use this image on your desk top or print out for personal use only. If you share this online, please be sure to acknowledge its origin/artist and link to this post (Copyright Policy) 🙂 Thank you!

Terrific post, Donna! I love your Nerdy Chick.
Sweet chick and nice write up for Kidlit Summer School. I'm really enjoying it too!
Thanks, Norah 🙂 It always makes me smile when I see a comment from you 😀 I hope you DO check out Nerdy Chicks. You'll LOVE them!
I think so too! I even think you've told me about them before, and I checked them out then. Sometimes I get busy and forget though so prods are always good.
Participation is great, I love forever learning and networking, although my drawing is something that causes hilarity! Love the drawing, coming here always makes me happy, keep up the awesome work!
I'm sorry I haven't been around for a while, I've been at a randomly low ebb but I'm back now and being awesome. I'm glad Summer School is around to have another post from you, you just keep on taking care of yourself, that's the important thing my friend.
Oh, Ste, no reason to apologize! Though I, too, feel apologetic due to my prolonged absence. Life off the computer just has to be lived 🙂 Since I haven't had a chance to look, have you been doing any "non-book-review" posts? 😉 Love them, too, as you know!
You are in luck I have written a few recently, although I- haven't been very prolific of late with anything much but blips make getting back to writing feel more exciting. I have noticed recently that a lot of bloggers are taking time out to live life offline so don't feel too guilty…I only visited for the first time in about a week and a half yesterday, it took me hours to catch up on all the latest posts.
Haha, whenever the fancy takes you my friend, it feels like I haven't done a book review in ages, must remedy that at some point.
Crikey has it really been that long?! Now that is a conundrum but I shall refrain from trying to sway you due to my blatant bias. I have plenty more non book posts coming up as well, ideas aren't the problem, time as you well know is!
I LOVE YOUR NERDY CHICK, especially the little details like the tape on the glass's nose bridge. I am just now getting back into visiting my favorite sites since all the medical mayhem and you are one of my first. i have missed so much. I love your posts before and still find them so interesting. I wish you would write a guest post on Kid Lit Reviews. You have great insight into kidlit–and Disney World!
"Once I get everything under control . . . " Hate to be the one to break it to you, my dear friend, but it looks to me like you have everything under control (but you are a perfectionist, I know. Lighten up on yourself.) This site looks fantastic and as far as me not seeing you at mine . . . I have not even been reviewing like I used to due to time, and life. I understand — but would love to see you when you have time. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. If I had my druthers (loved that book), I would get my personal blog off the ground. So far two starts and two stops. OH, the bookmarks are doing a grand job and sure do hold up to the abuse I non-intentionally inflict upon them. Thanks again! Your Nerdy Chick should have won!
Chin up, nerdy chick! I believe in you!
Thanks, Sue! 😀 Either way, I'm glad I created the image. I have it as wallpaper on my phone. Proud to be a Nerdy Chick!
It's been a long time! I've been meaning to pop over and see what you're up to. I do get your notifications in my inbox, but I get overwhelmed with all the emails coming my way! I really enjoy your art. The link to Nerdy Chicks Rule looks like an interesting read. Wishing you all the best and future success!
Hey, Christine! What a pleasant surprise to see you here today 😀 As you know, it's been a while for me, too, at your blog. Life has been getting in the way, but that should change soon, I hope 🙂 Thanks so much!

Did Freemasons 'whitewash' Titanic inquiry?
Secret archives reveal that several key members of the investigation were Freemasons
by The Week team
Central Press / Stringer
A newly-opened database of Freemason membership records may explain why the investigation into the sinking of the Titanic turned out to be a 'whitewash', the Daily Telegraph reports.
More than two million Freemason membership records from 1733 to 1923 are now open to the public for the first time via Ancestry.com, allowing researchers to trace some of the clandestine connections that may have influenced history. One of the first theories to emerge from the new data suggests that the secret society could have compromised the inquiry into the sinking of the Titanic.
Exactly why investigators only interviewed three passengers and exonerated almost everyone involved in the tragedy has long been unclear. The inquiry declined to assign blame to Captain Smith, the White Star shipping line, or the Board of Trade. A look at the previously secret Freemason records, however, could shed some light on why the inquiry proved to be a damp squib – many of those implicated in the tragedy and the people assigned to judge them were all members of the secretive organisation.
The US Senate's own inquiry into the disaster pointed the finger at the British Board of Trade for allowing the ship to go to sea with a devastatingly inadequate number of lifeboats.
However, the British inquiry, led by Lord Mersey, controversially exonerated the board of responsibility. The new Freemason records reveal that both Lord Mersey and the head of the Board of Trade, Sydney Buxton, were Freemasons, inviting speculation that their shared membership in the organisation may have influenced Lord Mersey's findings.
Furthermore, two of the five chief investigators in the inquiry can also be found on the membership rolls, as can one of the directors of the White Star line's parent company.
Other theories posit Masonic involvement in everything from the British parliament to Jack the Ripper. Famous names featured on the newly-released records include Winston Churchill, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Shackleton, Rudyard Kipling and George VI.
Founded in 1717, the Freemasons are thought to currently have up to six million members, including 250,000 in England and a further 150,000 in Scotland and Ireland.

Meditation has been used as an ancient tool for creating stillness within for thousands of years, its roots tracing back 5000 years ago, woven into global cultures worldwide. In today's modern world, meditation is a saving grace for that morsel of peace we all crave and where our journey to know ourselves truly happens.
Be still and unlock your peace within.
Whether your journey is spiritual benefits or secular, the benefits of meditation are infinite. Science has confirmed that meditation has the power to change the brain patterns, to enhance the connectivity between different brain regions and decreasing activity in the 'me centre' of the brain and reduction in the 'amyglada' which is linked to stress, anxiety and fear.
The beauty of meditation is in the portable simplicity of the practice and its powerful influence it has over the meditator. Your mind craves stillness, just as much as your body craves nutrients, but constant distractions confuse and prevent this. Nourish your mind with the brain food it needs to relish in that beautiful silence, stillness and peace within by booking in with one of our experts. Begin your journey to your freedom within.
At YOGABUDHI, we have various programmes, courses and experiences to choose from - from mindfulness courses through to Buddhist meditations - whether regular sessions, a course or as part of an off-site meeting.
Our various options allow you to choose the type, duration and frequency of your meditation programmes. You might do this alone, with a live meditator in person or via Skype; or you may choose to do either options with your friends and loved ones.
Even if your family or loved ones are not doing meditation they still reap the benefits.
A happy you = a happy family.
Stress at work impacts the individual's health and wellbeing as well as business productivity and culture. It can often overflow into home life which consequently puts pressure and stress onto your closest ones.
Meditation has been proven to reduce stress, find balance and improve productivity.
Wellness programmes (incorporating meditation) have been adopted by companies such as, Nike, Adidas, Google and Apple, who are at the forefront of changing work culture attitudes using staff wellbeing as a tangible instrument to optimise productivity.

Blåvandshuk eller Blåvands Huk är Danmarks västligaste udde, belägen i Varde kommun, knappt 20 kilometer nordväst om Esbjerg på Jylland. Den ligger i Region Syddanmark, i den västra delen av landet,  km väster om Köpenhamn.

Här finns bland annat en kustradiostation och en meteorologisk station samt Blåvands fyr. Fyren byggdes år 1900 och ersatte då en äldre fyr. Den är 39 meter hög och dess ljus syns 20 nautiska mil i god sikt.

Udden markerar den Tyska buktens nordöstliga punkt. Söder om udden börjar även de Frisiska öarna (mer exakt Nordfrisiska öarna som tillsammans med ost- och väst-frisiska öarna utgör hela denna kustnära ögrupp), vilka följer Nordsjökusten till Nederländerna).

Närmaste ort år turistorten Blåvand, med bland annat Tirpitzmuseet. Närmaste större samhälle är Oksbøl,  km nordost om Blåvandshuk. Trakten runt Blåvandshuk består i huvudsak av gräsmarker.

Den södra delen av udden utgörs av udden Skallingen, som uppstod efter en stormflod 1634.

Blåvandshuk Redningsstation
Blåvandshuk Redningsstation var en bistation till Blåvand Redningsstation, som inrättades 1902 som en båtstation utan raketapparat. Den lades ned 1932.

President-elect Joe Biden has chosen veteran diplomat and foreign policy advisor Anthony Blinken as one of his top choices to serve as secretary of state, according to NBC News.
What We Know:
A transition official spoke with NBC News regarding Blinken being a likely choice for the position, but they wouldn't confirm the nomination until Biden's announcement.
Blinken began his career in the State Department during the Clinton administration and served under President Barack Obama's administration as the state's former deputy secretary.
It was reported that Biden's first Cabinet selections would be for the diplomacy and national security divisions.
According to the New York Times, a person familiar with the process believes Biden will choose another close aide, Jake Sullivan as the national security advisor. Sullivan served at the State Department under Hilary Clinton as the head of policy planning.
Biden is also expected to name a 35-year veteran of Foreign Services Linda Thomas-Greenfield as his ambassador to the United Nations.
The Incoming white house chief Ron Klain stated on Sunday that Biden would be announcing his Cabinet picks on Tuesday.

New York City now recognizes LGBTQ-owned companies as minority-owned businesses, making them eligible for city contracts to expand their businesses.
On Tuesday, New York City's Department of Small Business Services and the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce announced a plan to fast-track LGBTQ-owned businesses into city certification programs where they can receive billions in contract funding and access to resources like consulting, mentorship, and educational programs.
According to the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, approximately 1.4 million lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender business owners in the United States generate $1.7 trillion a year in revenue. N.Y.C. now joins the growing list of cities and states that have moved to incorporate LGBTQ-owned businesses in city contracts, including cities in California, New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida.
Openly gay Councilmember Daniel Dromm said the historic agreement would "impact the lives of thousands of New Yorkers in a meaningful and lasting way."
"When it comes to establishing and growing businesses, LGBTQ entrepreneurs face many significant and manifold challenges. I am pleased that these business owners who were once excluded from sorely needed contracting and procurement opportunities will be able to participate," he continued.
This comes at a crucial time when many LGBTQ Americans are facing unemployment. According to a May 2020 poll by the national LGBTQ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign and PSB Research, queer people of color were disproportionately impacted by job loss, with 22 percent of LGBTQ people of color losing their jobs because of the pandemic, compared to 14 percent of white LGBTQ workers and 13 percent of the general population.
Due to this motion, it appears that LGBTQ business owners in N.Y.C. will now have a greater chance to rebound and have a strong economic comeback.

College Board will be permanently dropping the optional essay and subject tests after the summer. This is to reduce the demands of students affected by the crisis of the pandemic.
On Tuesday, the College Board announced that it is discontinuing the optional essay section and subject-area exams of the SAT for college-bound U.S. students after June 2021. SAT subject tests were optional, multiple-choice exams that students could take in order to demonstrate aptitude or standardized academic credentials on topics like Spanish language, biology, and physics.
It will be available only in certain states, including Delaware and Oklahoma, that use the SAT for school accountability measurement and offer the test during the school day. The coronavirus pandemic accelerated a process already underway to simplify our work and reduce demands on students, the standardized testing nonprofit said in a note to members.
According to NBC News, the optional SAT essay section, which was introduced in 2005, will be discontinued after June testing dates because "there are other ways for students to demonstrate their mastery of essay writing," the College Board said. The essay section had a 15-year heyday, which raised the maximum SAT score from 1600 to 2400, was a central part of many students' college admissions applications for years. However, by last year, several major institutions had made the section optional.
Based in New York, the testing organization also revealed the launch of a process to revise the main SAT, aiming to make the admission test more flexible and streamlined and enable students to take the exam digitally instead of with pencil and paper. There were few details available on how the main SAT might be changed. David Coleman, chief executive of the College Board, said the organization is not pursuing an at-home version of the exam. He said more information would be coming in April.
Even before the pandemic, the subject tests and the optional essay were losing influence. Fewer schools were requiring applicants to take them, and many experts questioned their value. These tests long served a niche role in admissions as a way for students to amass extra credentials showing their prowess for ultra-competitive schools. For many years, Ivy League schools and others, including Georgetown University, recommended, encouraged, or accepted subject test scores in addition to the scores they required from the main SAT or ACT.
U.S. students registered for subject tests will be refunded, while the College Board will provide two final SAT subject test administrations in May and June 2021 for international locations because they are used internationally for a wider variety of purposes. College Board plans to phase out international students by next Summer.
Pharrell Williams has teamed up with Amazon and Georgia Tech to launch a new music-making competition for today's youth.
On Tuesday, Pharrell's education equity nonprofit, YELLOW, announced on Twitter their new project with Amazon and Georgia Tech called "Your Voice is Power." This initiative aims at teaching underserved communities with students in middle and high school an equal opportunity lesson in coding, racial injustice, and creativity.
Teaching kids future-ready skills like coding, especially those for whom opportunities haven't been equally distributed, is how we prepare the next generation of entrepreneurs. That's why @YELLOWORG has launched "Your Voice is Power" alongside @Amazon and @GeorgiaTech. pic.twitter.com/ZdmS1AnT0a
— Pharrell Williams (@Pharrell) January 19, 2021
"Your Voice is Power" will be open to about 100,000 students across the U.S. and Canada. The program will feature five lesson plans and teaching modules that will teach students coding while introducing them to professionals who use music and computer science to fight for racial justice and spark conversations among students and teachers about racial injustices.
The project will also have a competition where students will be tasked with addressing racial equity while remixing Pharrell's new song "Entrepreneur" using computer coding and incorporating their own voice into the song via Georgia Tech's learn-to-code-through-music platform, EarSketch.
The first round of the competition will start on January 19th and run through March 12th. Student-made remixes will be judged by a panel of Amazon engineers, Amazon Music team members, and music industry professionals. Winners will be picked based on the quality of music, the complexity of their code, and their thoughts and calls to action on racial justice. Prizes for students range from $5,000 scholarships, grant money for a business, or different monetary amazon gift cards.
Pharrell explained his choice to collaborate with these corporate giants saying, "This collaboration between YELLOW, Amazon, and Georgia Tech is a celebration of Black creators and change-makers. YELLOW, at its core, believes that education is a pathway to success. Teaching kids future-ready skills like coding, especially those kids for whom opportunities like this have not been equally distributed, is how we prepare the next generation of entrepreneurs."
We are excited to see what the next generation of artists and creators are able to achieve!

We Happy Few Game Preview for both Xbox One and PC lands on July 26 for $29.99
▪ July 7, 2016 ▪
We Happy Few, Xbox One games
Home » Play » We Happy Few Game Preview for both Xbox One and PC lands on July 26 for $29.99
We Happy Few is one of the most popular games introduced at E3, and many fans are eagerly waiting for the official game release. If you don't want to wait until later this year, you also have the chance to get your hands on the Xbox One and PC Game Preview on July 26.
The game is set in the city of Wellington Wells where all its citizens are addicted to a drug called "Joy." This drug takes over your emotions, transforming you into a robot.
Paranoia rules the place as all the other characters are waiting to detect even the slightest sign of emotion on your face. If they do, hell will break loose because they'll know you're no longer on Joy. If you act out of turn, the locals will attack you, forcing you to get back on Joy.
There are three words that best describe your life in the city of Wellington Wells: conformity, stealth and combat.
The We Happy Few Game Preview will have an initial price tag of $29.99, and it will probably go up as the 1.0 game version approaches.
We spent more time than you would think considering price points. We feel like this strikes the best balance between quality (both state and size of the game), accessibility, making money (brutal truth, guys) and respect for our Kickstarter backers who backed at CAD$30 (~ US$23). […]
The price of the game is likely to go up as we head towards 1.0, but we want to confirm to everyone that we will not be discounting the game during the Early Access period.
We Happy Few will also be launched on GOG on the same day.
As far as the recommended specs are concerned, they include:
Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD, 2.5 GHz or faster
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 660 GTX or AMD Radeon 7870 HD series or higher
DirectX: DirectX 11, Shader Model 5
Operating System: 64 bit, Windows 7 and above
Are you ready to be creeped out?
