I backed shadow Tactics. This guy has been on it for a while, consistent with his updates. He is a rock star! AG is not a company I want to do business with anymore. As far as asking for someone to talk to him face to face, is he nuts? Does he not know how crazy people are now? I would be very careful about saying stuff like that. Too many nutjobs I would be worried about, but then again I am paranoid. Just saying!
Is he semi-aggressive? At a convention, he said he wished he could punch all his critics like in high school (one guy talking to AG told us). The deathwish of one backer was too much. Still, there is a reason why people are getting angry (see six years delayed solo expansion from the Agents of Mayhem Solo) or the 800 days since the first assumed delivery date for Stellaris. Currently, there is no communicated timeline, deadline, or delivery date.
Marbles rolling games like the Flames of Fafnir are cool! On Gamefound I'm following an Egyptian themed Eurogame named Tameri which has a marbles rolling/shuffling pyramid. I hope it will launch soon.
There's a fair few people upset in the Kemet campaign, as the compulsory big box is making shipping rather expensive. And there's only one pledge for returning players, so some are upset at being "forced" to purchase other modes when they only really want the 6p expansion. Oh, and the sleeves add-on doesn't cover the new material, only the existing boxes.
I think part of the problem is there is a big variety in what people want. So they would have a lot of different options which would increase costs. For instance I personally want the new tiles and god mode but have zero interest in the solo or sixth player stuff. I think sadly we are stuck with the single option to keep costs down
@@beornthebear9023 I would have purchased the 6p and new tiles, but I just sold my KS All-In to a friend, so I'm out. Had I not done that, I would have waited until they are on the website and got what I could then.
Hey KoA (Paul [I hope thats yr name], Story of Many looks very cool. I hope you do a review sometime in the near future. Due to launch in September which is my birthday month!.
Hi. Regarding Shadow Tactics, I think I've suggested you in one of my comments almost a year ago to cover the progress of the game - through the monthly updates of the only guy from the original team (even the "lowest" ranking one) who took upon himself to deliver the game. The backers are 100% right being angry at the "original" company ("it was a little tough to deliver the game, so we quit, f**k the company, f**k the project and f**k you and from now on, we focus on our new job at XXX company..."), but they must appreciate what that Kruppa guy is doing alone.
You know, it is like almost every job I worked. Only a few out of the many do any actual work. When I get some extra cash, I want to send that dude a tip.
Hey Michael, so not sure how often if at all this comes across your “desk” as I’m not sure how much of the KoA fanbase was involved, but Galaktus Games has really taken a bunch of money for Green Hell: The Board Game (based off the popular video game of the same name) and claimed internal problems and raiding costs then promised refunds to people who wanted them, only to have radio silence, delete their profile info on KS/GF and officially cancel the board game on KS. Not sure if this is something you’d be able to cover or even interested in, but if you do, I would be interested since I had money wrapped up in that campaign. Cheers! Hope you and the fam are doing well after a huge move!
Being 2 years late and basically saying fuck you to people complaining about not getting the game in the timeline *you* promised. To have the gal to sit there all mighty. I don't even have skin in the game and am upset about that attitude. But I'm sure there's plenty of people still giving them money so why would they care about backers, or care about timelines, or care about your money.
Yeah it's a pretty poor attitude to have about it. It just goes to show the disconnect between having someone's money and then making promises not kept to them. It also shows the focus on money. To go instantly to how much money your making from it to that flippant attitude is quite telling if where the focus is.
Would be interested in your take on USS Freedom. Company just bought IP. Will fulfill. Designer to make additional games with them. No Company announced?!? Could be great -> people get games. Could be bad… Thoughts?
@@rcantero1 I also late pledge DOM, and from what I understand that 2 wave postage was not possible, so you paid for two wave (which is good) I emailed Cherry and was told that the stuff my wife pledged (through my account) will be coming in two waves, so I will be getting the main box and the stretch goals box, I also pledged the expansions myself and they are 2nd wave. So to cut to the chase you should be getting the core and stretch goal box, this wave if you late pledged through backer kit when they release it at the fulfillment center
@@rcantero1 This is the problem though, when?, I can't believe they ran a campaign for DOM with Deep madness on the side for reprint and then DM took priority for fulfillment, its crazy and the situation we have now is even worse as we have no idea when the fulfillment center will actually start releasing DOM pledges for EU/UK due to strikes and problems with the Polish postal service, its not the first campaign I have heard complain about the Polish postal service.
oof! was not aware of any of this. i should've done some research prior to late pledging. i did back and received twisted fables without any issues, so perhaps i was using that experience as the standard with this late pledge.
Hmmm I suppose it could be seen that way. Think of it more as normal coverage with the promise of a future deep dive. I still have the most prominent snippet and then provided my opinion as I normally do. Just didn't go into it for another 15 minutes is all :)
@@TheKingofAverage it's the first thing listed in the description, thus the bury the lead. And it being shown as the lead, it was not covered as such. That is all. Clicked on the video for that subject and got blue balled.
"It's real art... digital, but still...." Wow, that's some art snobbery right there, crapping on people who use a digital canvas. I get what you're saying, that it's not AI and that's good, but you let a little prejudice slip through there, sir.
Wasn't meaning anything of the sort. These aren't scripted and I speak to you guys as I would a friend. I scrolled and saw they showed it on a computer and wanted to verify for you guys that it was actually drawn. No prejudice felt or meant at all, just trying to reassure and perhaps not worded the best in the moment :)
@@TheKingofAverage And I'm only ragging on you a little bit, not heavily upset or anything. It's always interesting, though - the words that come out unscripted do show the beliefs underneath. Nothing wrong with valuing traditional media against digital art. Many people do.
Digital art sucks big time! Bardicbroadcast made a video (talking about Necromunda) why this is the case and it is probably the best well thought out video on the net. Neesless to say, CE games artbooks took a huge nose dive in quality since all we gwt is some crap digital concept art hastily cobbled together. Real artist paint with paints.
@@Mario-pq9bi People who create art on a digital canvas are still artists and they're definitely real. You might not like that medium, which is fine, but it's real art. By your definition the people who draw amazing sidewalk images using colored chalk aren't real artists because they don't use paint. That's absurd, of course.
I backed Deep Regrets, it is absolutely my taste. and the mechanics are fun (if not sure peeps, check their awesome explanation video, convinced me too!). necrohamster seems cool too

Did that Uwe guy just say the reason they havent delivered games is because theyre still making money on late pledges?
Yes. It wasn't even subtle.

Funny how people like that talk crap, but if they see you in person it is all smiles.
Wow, had me at Cthulhu, and kept me for strategic horror fishing.

Hi there, thank you for covering Millennium Gate Legacy on your channel.
I'm excited about Deep Regrets. Looks like a fun tongue-in-cheek kinda game. I'm always down with that.
Uwe is just trash, straight up.

The market is oversaturated with a mediocre Zombicide game every year, so what, exactly, does "the year of Zombicide" actually mean?
