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.
