I'm kind of torn about Escape. The game is probably going to be good and it'll make a great addition to Deadzone, plus the scenery bits are pretty cool, but I absolutely do not like the figures that are in the base game. I think the ISC have much cooler figures that could've been included. It looks like at least one may show up eventually via stretch goals though. I think if more of the actual samurai figures were in the game or available as add-ons, I'd be more interested. Oh well, at least my brother is backing it, so I'll wind up messing with it eventually anyway. I'm sure my Enforcers will wind up having to snipe at wormbot swarms as they try to escape derelict buildings with sensitive materials.

Dr. Ito is in. Why does that name sound familiar? Wasn't he the guy in Gunm/ Battle Angel Alita?

ISC Panzer Kunst figure incoming?

5k until the doors unlock. Bad pun intended.

New swarm images, and 100k stretch

The big "Puppet master" visual has been unveiled.



Those who have a facebook account can win a resin casted one by entering Taban's contest !

Well the puppet master was absolutely NOT what I expected. That's a good thing.

I also see the pledge total hasn't changed a whole lot in the few days I've been gone.

Hopefully Taban will keep things progressing. Hopefully those doors will be in the next day or so, and we'll get the next Resistance member shortly after.

Yeah that puppet master is a beast of a model compared to the regular figures in the box.

I thought it was originally just going to be a big robot but the concept art is much more interesting!

Looking foward to seeing its puppets reached so we can have the whole puppet show

Doors are in now.

Plus we get another ISC exclusive Baywatch- inspired figure at 64k.

I'd past up pictures but I hate this computer and want to stop using it!

New stretch goal! Its not just Raging Heroes that have all the fun

Pamela Anderson is a stretch goal? That is awkward.

Pamela.. How cool isn't she? :p Good job there.

If I want just miniatures/add-ons, I just pledge for the miniatures/add-ons amounts themselves?

No need to pledge for the $20 T-Shirt level to be allowed to do this, right?

^Alpharius il ask for you in comments

I see your question!

Ed Lowe about 6 hours ago

Quick question for a potential backer, if they just want addons how do they pledge?

But it doesn't look like anyone has answered yet...

Well I went and asked the same thing just now. Hopefully someone gets around to it.

Lol, gave up waiting for an answer and went to bed! Mind you it was late over here so Taban were most likely asleep

Latest stretch goal map, including Pamela

We are working with Kickstarter on making a 1 dollar pledge that would allow you to purchase add-ons only.

Sweet - thanks!

I'll be getting a few of the add-ons if so.

Its been said in the comments that if you just want addons pledge the ammount for what you want and dont worry about a pledge level. Not sure how postage will work however so best check first with a direct pm.

Edit - fresh from the comments!

Creator Taban Miniatures 40 minutes ago

@Wakoun (and Lord Tamburlaine) : a new pledge level is coming, for 10 dollars (the minimum price for any part of the goodies) that will allow you to get what you need. We are figuring out shipping costs.

In other news new stretch goal!

New pledge level - Update #18 · Jun 11, 2013 ·

A new pledge level was created to allow people who want the goodies but not the Escape : the game.

For $10.00 Basic Supporter is equivalent to a minimum price for our goodies. You can then increase it up to amount of your choice and get anything you want in any quantity you like.

The winner of the Facebook contest has been chosen.

Stay tuned for the next contest on FB.

New stretch goal !!!

Right, here are the last few updates from the Kickstarter! (I've been off to Download so didnt get a chance to post them here)


Update 27!

A new goodie has been crafted by our studio : a big cryogenic tank that will be useful to identify your mission objectives !


Picture Below, 1 for $15 or 3 for $40


Update 28!

As promised, you'll find in that link the rules for the 1vs1 mode, in an English PDF.

This is not the final booklet, and the rules will get some fine tuning and updates before release, including the cooperative mode and the multiplayer mode.

Enjoy these rules and pledge again and again ! http://www.taban-miniatures.com/escape/regles-1vs-1.pdf


Update 29!

Nice and easy stretchgoal today !

If we beat this one, we will order a complete set of sculpted bases. LAB 03 themed !
We will swap the initial plain bases for these nicely textured ones (both for small and big Escape models).
Each Escape miniature will be based with one of these plastic bases. Diameter 25mm

Bases are unlocked, Pamela is coming, with a new green.

Enjoy !

Great stuff.

Some of the latest updates from the kickstarter as it enters its final week, including what you now get at isc sensi pledge level.

I'm wondering how large that Kira is. It looks big. It looks like it has a similar body structure to the Ronin drone, which is pretty hefty compared to the human figures.

Also they've added some new resin pieces to the goodies section- A grey kitsune for the ISC and Courtney for the Resistance.

Both are resin (as opposed to their original metal releases) and will have Escape stats with them.

Taban mentioned in the comments that these could see plastic releases as future stretch goals. Those are probably pretty lofty stretch goals at this point.

I hope they can meet the ones they have currently. I really like the look of this game, but it doesn't seem like many other people do. It's still sitting at under 400 backers. I figured a game like this would have a lot of crossover appeal- established game system (via the original magazine version), established skirmish game/ miniature company/ ruleset, quality figures, nice looking scenery pieces available...

The only thing I can see keeping people back is the price I guess. Considering what some of us have spent on comparable games (myself included), the ISC pledge doesn't seem that hard to swallow, especially if it hits all its stretches.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. I hate to have to go shill around on the internet to drum up interest.

In my opinion, one mistake they have made is forcing $80 in extras for the ISC Sensei level. I have no reason to increase my pledge until I find more than $80 worth of stuff I want (and right now I'm nowhere close). And ISC Sensei really isn't getting enough extra to justify it over the Escape Master level where you could use the forced $100 in extras to get most of what is not included at that level but is included at the ISC Sensei level that makes a difference to game play. Things like the doors can be gotten a cheaper from other sources, no need pay extra for them, especially if you need 10 large and 15 small for the map as someone in the comments section has indicated.

IF they reach more of the ISC Sensei stretch goals it becomes worth it, but I am doubting their ability to get too many more at the rate they are going.

I think it would have been better to have an everything included pledge, with no funny business about extra goodies. Just the game and every included stretch goal. I think that's all people want at the end of the day. If they want other stuff, then cool, let them pay for it. With an ISC pledge I'm still debating what I would actually use that credit for. At least I can get that Kitsune.

I think Guardian Chronicles did things right- one set pledge that gets EVERYTHING. Yet that didn't do as well as I had hoped either; I thought it would have really climbed up there monetarily. It did hit nearly every single stretch they showed though.

Even Dark, Darker, Darkest has gone that route. There's LITERALLY 2 backers for the standard (read: lacking) edition, while another 1000+ people sitting at the "complete" edition that's about 30 dollars more. If you look at the stretch goals, everything is included with the complete version, while they nickel and dime the crap out of you if you want to add any of those on piecemeal to a standard game. Conclusion? Go for the deluxe version.

At this point I don't know what would bring in more fresh backers. I hope Taban can pull through and show people the value of this game. I've been wanting to play it since I saw the magazine edition!

I think some advertising would help. I don't know how much they've promoted this, but I haven't seen really any hype for this prior to it going live. Look at Deadzone, Mutant Chronicles, and Toughest Girls, they all had hype beforehand and look how much those made.

Whatever, moocher! You're just going to leech off of me and play my copy! You go drum up some interest

On the plus side, things are moving UP!

Possibility of more plastics? That is a GOOD thing.

I keep sharing everything I see on Facebook. I don't know how many of my "friends" are still allowing anything I send to show in their feeds, but I'm trying.

Guess I gotta go shill around on Board Game Geek.
