I'm not impressed either, since I already possess the Candy & Cola figure from when it was their first ever model and was supposed to be a limited edition.

If they made some new figures it would be nice.

I think this Candy will be dressed as a Takoashi student. (Good luck painting that pink plaid!)

BrookM is this what you look up in your spare time?

Nah, its not grim-dark enough.

I have zero interest in a card game... I was tempted with SDE but its always outofstock so my money went to other minis... Not impressed at all.

Card games can be really good, Navarro.

They are really compact, and can be very accessible to non-game players. Cards can present visually attractive artwork and lots of game information.

I've got loads of card games as well as conventional board games and tabletop games.

It's always out of stock because the first print run was completely sold and they haven't got the second one yet.

SDE's second run is coming this Summer, the Caves of Roxxor (sp?) are coming this Fall, I've pre-ordered the latter at my FLGS to avoid the inevitable long wait.

Re: T-Shirts.

School Logo T-shirts (Series 1) - Show your school spirit with your own Takoashi Daigaku logo shirt! All your friends will want one. Girls shirts are a really nice American Apparel cut, so they look like a girls shirt. - When receiving your email notification at the end of the drive, you will be asked a short survey, be sure to include your preference of guys/girls and what size you will want/need.

Back on topic, I just backed this project. Looks like a great game to jump into quickly, and the subject is just hilarious.

That video was funny, surprised to see MC Bourbonnais involved too.

First time I help Kickstart anything, although I've been tempted to back some videogames before (like Wasteland 2 / Carmageddon). The way I see it though, SodaPop has actually produced stuff before, and I don't see it as a risk or worse, a scam. Those new gamedev studios though..I'm more cautious about them.

T-shirts - Seems like it's just the first models and more will be made...Also I just realised there's actual tentacles on the logo hah!

Oh yes, this is t-shirt series #1, expect more designs to follow.

So, an established company is using kickstarter? I got an idea to fund your projects, sell more products.

LOL, established your kidding right. Soda Pop is a super small, no free cash type of company. So if they did this game and it failed, no more Soda Pop. I for one want more SDE. Kickstart is the perfect place for projects like this. Why don't you go give SJG some love too?

I did. I own super dungeon, and a figure from the relics line. It feels wrong when it's not a new start up. Kickstarter is for the unestablished or at least thats how it felt until recently(not aimed at Soda Pop) But i digress, you make some decent points.

fire4effekt wrote:Kickstarter is for the unestablished

While I'm somewhat in the same boat as I'm afraid in the future some big timers like Microsoft or Apple might end up using Kickstarter as Pre Orders R Us, this phrase is a little tricky though to use

A lot of kickstarters (namely games) are being developed by Industry Veterans that honestly cant go anywhere with their own projects on their own.

A good example of this is Wasteland 2. Another is Grim Dawn which is being made by the person behind Titan Quest.

Kickstarter is for anyone who wants to use it to fund their creative project.

There is nothing in any of their terms or guidelines about project creators being unestablished businesses.

Exactly!

The consumers of the world decide whether or not it succeeds or fails!

And i never said it was. "At least thats how it felt"

Thank you everyone for your support. Stretch goal #1 is achieved. We will be including a fresh sculpted Candy & Cola in School Uniform (Soda Pop Miniatures) for all backers at the $40 level and above. We will be updating on new Stretch Goals later today!

We will be adding Candy & Cola as an alacarte item, some lower level pledges expressed some interest in getting Candy&Cola, or even getting some additional models for their collections or gifts. If you want to add another Candy&Cola miniature, or want to add one to your pledge, this is how you do it.

I don't think it is - though there might be 'expansions' that get released later on?

Alpharius is correct it is not a CCG. It is a standalone card game. If it proves popular expansions are certainly a possibility, but we're focused on the base game at the moment.

Then I'll give it a try I guess. I am a Hentai, after all.

Thanks for the info, both of you.

They've added the extras you can purchase at the end of the run to supplement you pledge:

AlaCarte' Menu (Growing)

+$5 ADD ONE SET OF PROMO CARDS

+$10 ADD ONE CANDY & COLA COLLECTIBLE MINIATURE

+$20 ADD ONE T-SHIRT

+$20 ADD ONE EXTRA TENTACLE BENTO GAME

+$50 ADD ONE DAKIMAKURA (Huggy Pillow)

The artwork is kinda bland to me really. It really says 'generic anime/manga' clone. It also seems very subtly westernized to me, maybe that's intentional?

Seems fine to me!

To date I have to admit I've been unimpressed with the stretch goals - I'm hoping they've still got something really cool planned...

I've got to agree with you.

The 40 and 50 dollar rewards seems like they're the only ones that are worth it.

Unless your Significant Other wants to be immortalized in a Tentacle Fetish game.

My issue with the art is that all of the girls are the same girl with different hair style and color pallet. There is literally no variety in the face or body of any of them.

There's plenty of variety in the cup size and miniskirt length (Short to teeny)!

Didn't see any cup size differences (All around C/D) when I looked the other day (and at GAMA)

I would have thought that Cute/Smart cards would have the stereotypical small breasts, but good on SPM for making everyone's jumblies oversized!

Good for them for demolishing that stereotype then!

Funniest thing I've heard in a while.

Thanks for the laugh, Alph!
