Mission Accomplished

Well, I did it. I delievered a playable game by Christmas. Not without cost, mind you. A lot had to change. Even more had to be cut. But a lot of other fun things were added and discovered during playtesting. All of which I'll detail here once I catch my breath. Now for my next goal - a releasable game by March. Onward!

Happy Holidays!

I hope all of you have an out of this world Holiday X-Files Santa autopsy?

Not the end of the world.... BUT....

I woke up this morning and the world is still here but the forum and shopping cart databases seemed to have come to an Apocalypse of their own :) We are working on getting that fixed.

Down With Homework!

So, as you've probably figured out, there's no coding stream today. There is coding, but it's for one of my classes, as I have 2 major C# projects and 1 game development project due on Sunday, and I don't know when I'll have time off before then. The good news is I have two weeks off from school starting Monday (Christmas Eve, go figure), so I'll probably have some extra time to catch up on things.

Unboxing of the beast

Image
This is a HUGE kit, the box is 12"X10"X10"! You can see by the use of stacking trays, foam and a vacuum formed insert, we have taken great care to protect your investment. Enjoy! The screws are used on ball joints and other components that need tension to work properly. You can quite literally leave this kit poseable for months or years of play if you choose, the tension created by the ball joints is more than enough to have the kit retain its pose. At any point a drop or two of model cement will lock everything into a fixed pose, but until you decide exactly what pose you would like… you are free to play. Watching the legs and torso move with working hydraulics is a pretty fun experience ;)

Stage 1 ship date

As of today we estimate stage one will arrive in the WGF Utah warehouse the last week of January. I will have more pics to post as they come in from WGF China. Here are a few shots of Ada, a Kickstarter special mini and the first of the female Stormtroopers to see plastic. Cheers! Mark

Some shots of the plastic and the current release schedule.

I am currently elbow deep in prepping stage three models for the Kickstarter, I must apologize for not being on top of my emails, as this aspect takes me away from the day to day operations. I thought it would be best to give an expected release date here so that you have some frame of reference when these kits will be available for general purchase. The Kickstarter backers are my main priority but all the kits will hit the supply chain shortly after the backer’s items have been shipped. I do not have retail pricing yet, and will likely not have them until each phase is ready to head out the door. Stage 1 release: February 28mm scale Leviathan Crusader 28mm scale left hand Vulkan 10 man rifle squad 20 man Stormtrooper set Stormtrooper accessory set Eisenkern support weapons set   Stage 2 release: March   2 8mm scale Leviathan Mortis 28mm scale Leviathan weapons ·          Beowulf/Grendel ·      ...

Blergh time for stream

Like it says. I'm not particularly in the mood to redo all the stuff that I lost last week, so I'll be working on a different part of nun brothels. Edit: Got quite a bit of stuff done and DIDN'T lose it as a result of a crash this time. Gonna take a break, then get back to redoing all that stuff I lost later today. Edit 2: Back up for a bit. Still more goddamn set up to do. Edit 3: Done for today. I'm going to try to be back at it tomorrow, but I can't guarantee anything.

No Code Stream Today

The wife has come down with something pretty bad, so I'm looking after her. Can't get all distracted by coding while she needs me. I might play a game or something after she goes to bed and stream that instead. I'll be coding tomorrow and Thursday.

Big day ahead

I want to get significant work done today. So I'll be streaming for a while. Feel free to keep me company, it gets lonely out there in the Internet... Oh, and for people that keep asking (stop that!), I would really  like to have an update out by Christmas, but can't guarantee a) that will happen, or b) anything beyond the nun brothel will be fully complete if I do. Welp...lost all that  work when RAGS crashed. I need a break...

Sunday Streaming

I gotta stop doing this before it becomes a regular thing! But streaming.
