Subject: Re:Escape : a boardgame in the Eden universe !
We have got hundreds of post, e-mails and PM asking for the puppet master !
We know that many pledgers feared that this model wouldn't be released or are waiting for it to increase their pledge...
Basically we need the same amount of space in our molds for the Puppet Master and the extra Wormbots.
Being now on the final week "take-off", we know that both stretches will be reached ;-)
As un incentive for those waiting for the Master, we have decided to swap the models !!
Puppet master is now at 200$ from your grasp, and Wormbots are the next ones to join the fight...
EDIT - Puppet Master unlocked
New artwork revealed for 90k

So he's a Predator? But the Yellow Oshoku is the kind of figure I've been saying should've been included from the start. This figure has a lot more style and overall coolness going for him than the fat guy or the half naked robot girl.
Yeah, a signed lithograph is worth nothing to me, though I do understand some real fans like that sort of thing. For me, it either sits at the bottom of the box or hits the recycle bin.

I guess the lithograph is something. A bonus figure would have been cooler. Extra figures would be more likely to grab a few more people.
From what it sounds like what we'd be getting at an ISC pledge would give us more than enough to field both Resistance and ISC teams in Eden as well, so that's a plus. I know most of my figures will at some point be making appearances in Deadzone, and I think just about every figure in the box will end up in my brother's Mutants and Rayguns campaign at some point or another.
I'd like to see them keep driving the momentum forward. Maybe sneak in a few more mini stretch goals, swap some things around? I don't know.
At least today we should be seeing the greens for the Puppet Master. Hopefully they put some basic figures next to it for a size comparison. Very curious as to how that thing translates in 3D.

Update for the current stretch goal and pledge addons.
75000$ - Wormbot Something creepy is coming from below andwill infest ALL the KS version Escape boxes if we beat this stretch goal !
This model will only be available for the game Escape If we reach this stretch goal, we will sculpt and cast another version of swarmbot (the third version) : "Wormbot"
All the Escape boxes will be upgraded to a total of 21 swarmbots (instead of the 16 originally planned) : - 7 flybots, 7 scarabots and 7 wormbots - exclusively for the kickstarter version of the box !
In addition, the pledge levels "ISC Sensei" and "Apocalypse Master" will receive a pack of nine additional swarmbots for more action in the L.A.B.03 (and a total of 30 critters in your pledge level.) Once unlocked, this 9 pack will be also be available as an "Escape goodie" for $ 15
Edit - latest update for new character (great if you loved the goonies!)
Plus a message from the creators
Update #44 · Jun 25, 2013 · comment Dear Visitors and Pledgers
Our main objective is to develop a boardgame with highly detailed minis which will bring more depth to the Eden world and will give to all kind of players (solo, coop fan, versus...etc.) a new way to play and replay with Escape.By taking part to this KS, you're giving us the opportunity to create not only new minis but also develop a whole new game wich would allow 1 to 6 players around a table on an easy, friendly, fun and strategic game : Escape, the boardgame.
But we won't stop there, we're gonna go further because we guarantee you a trustworthy project control and all the team will make everything possible during all the end of the kickstarter campaign in order to always bring you more content and also regular news on the project even when the campaign is finished. We will always emphasize on the quality, the replayability and the sustainability of our Escape game in order that you play with it again and again and not let it get dust on shelves. We already have ideas for future extensions of the Escape game universe, so it's up to you to help us make all those amazing stuff becoming reality by backing this KS campaign.The support you've shown to our game during the last few weeks is amazing and we're very grateful to all of you. We hope you keep spreading the word about Escape around you, in order to unlock as many stretches as possible to fill your boxes with all the cool stuff we planned for you. :-)Thanks again ! Pledge more, and convince everyone around you to pledge.

--------Eden related Material - short notice
Many pledgers are asking for Eden material as Escape goodies.This kickstarter ISN'T for Eden but for Escape. Even if it's set in the same universe, Escape is a standalone game and you don't need at all to know or play Eden in order to fully enjoy Escape. All the goodies related to Eden that we propose on purchase are optional and only in order to improve the 2 game in 1 bundle. That's the reason why we won't offer metal starters for Eden (for the people interested in playing Eden, those starters are available at Taban or in your game shop)
In order to satisfy as many backers as possible, we have already added to the goodies some resin mini because they already exist in Escape so it won't be hard to add them to Eden. Those resin sculptures are gonna be exclusive to the KS : you won't be able to purchase them later. Â Â
Hope those wormbots are in by the end of the day so we can chase after the interesting stuff.
Cool thing is the next few stretch goals all unlock multiple figures, which really will add to the value of that ISC pledge-
+7 wormbots at 75k
+9 more swarmbots on top of that
+3 puppets at 80k
+3 green youkai at 85k
So by hitting the next 3 stretches, everyone's box at ISC gets an 22 figures. Not too shabby. That's doable.
I'm going to call it too- Marvin is totally Data from the Goonies in that trenchcoat with all the little gadgets.
EDIT- So it seems the game has it the 75k stretch goal. Worm bots are in.
EVERYONE gets 7 of them.
ISC gets 3 more of each swarm bot for over 30 of the little robotic bastards now. Next up, puppets!

I enjoy collecting and framing game art, table top or video games. Would love to have it, however I am not a backer. Spent all my gaming bucks for the next month or 3 on a new drill press and a few preordered board games.
If they have pledge manager you can add items later, I may contribute.

This is climbing quite high. Yellow Oshoku at $90k will definately be reached. I can only hope it will be available in resin. It's a masterpice by Mr. Smalls.
2 additions to the Escape goodies pool today !Abby for the Resistance, and the Carmin Samourai for the ISC
Both can be selected as Escape goodies for 15$Â
Blue Fuseteu
Blue Fusetsu : You though that escaping LAB 03 would be easy with the help of the Puppet Master ? Maybe not !
Let's unlock the Blue Fusetsu to tame this nasty Resistance

So if all goes well you can have Data, Peter Venkmen, Blade, Pam Anderson, and a walking puppet show fight swarm spewing/ egg laying giant robots. Plus samurai robots.
I really hope we see those puppet master greens soon.
I had been thinking of getting the Eden rules with my bonus funds, but it looks like I'll be loading up on all the exclusive resins at this point.

And don't forget we'll be getting a Predator, too.
Wow, I actually kind of like that Resistance girl with the cybernetic arms. I think she's the first human figure I actually like.
As for the Kira, I thought kira meant something more along the lines of sparkle rather than twinkle? Either way, it makes me think his abilities have something to do with light. Like, maybe he has energy weapons embedded in his arms, or he's able to turn invisible, or maybe he's got some sort of energy shield.
I want more samurai 'bots though and less ashigaru 'bots.
I already owe you for Yog Sothoth (which I'll be sending to you after the 1st). I do like the cyborg girl, but for about the same price, I could get an Infinity or an Anima Tactics figure. Plus, I noticed that the resin figure is actually more expensive than the metal one. I think I'll pass.
What if I get one of the cyborg girls and swap you something for it?
We can wheel and deal when I return.
I'll most likely be using that 80 to pick up more Resistance members anyway. I figure they'll be the ones to offer the most variety in play.
I may not get a chance to put some of the ISC machines on the table due to the luck of the draw (if I'm playing solo at least), while I would assume all the Resistance members are going to each have their own specialties which could play into how likely they are to succeed at certain scenarios.

I'm Happy to see that Youkai have been unlocked, I really wish that Taban would hurry up and unveil the Blue Futesu though...
I'm also glad too see that Joshua has finally removed his pledge, although despite his rather aggressive and annoying comments he did make a decent point about the goodies. I think Taban could help salvage this situation by offering the metal variants of existing goodie models for $10-$12, and by adding more of their existing ISC and Resistance range to the goodie list so we at least have a few more options to choose from. (I know that Taban stated that this KS campaign was focused more on expanding Escape instead of Eden, and i understand that they don't want to ruin the future sales of existing models. But unless Taban do something major to make the goodies more appealing, then this campaign could become completely overshadowed by Kaosball which finishes only 20 hours before the Escape campaign ends.)
Personally I'd love to see both the ISC and Resistance get a special $45-$50 boxset as a goodie that each includes a large robot and 2-3 smaller models. The Resistance set could have the robot Patriot along with Bruce, Chelsea and Benedict, while the ISC could include Grey Daymio and a few other models. A plus side to adding something like this is that it would allow Taban to add a small stretch goal that includes a downloadable PDF featuring Escape rules for these large Robots.
Does anyone know if Taban has said how many of the stretch goal bases are going to be included in the ISC pledge level?
@Taban (If you're still checking here.),
It might be a good idea to change the thread title to say that there's only 48 hours left.

Unfortunaly Taban cant offer any exisiting figures in their kickstarter its against the rules for a kickstarter, hence they are offering a limited run of the figures in resin which classes as a different product.
Since they are a limited resin run rather than metal there are some extra costs incurred hence the higher cost.
It worth noting that Taban added then in the addons due to people asking for them in the comments.
Im pretty sure that they said in the comments there would be enough bases to cover each of the stretch figures.
Its been said that there will be rules released for each of the eden figures in the isc and resistance for the escape game so there will be some cross compatibility, however Taban see this as the start of a independant boardgame range similar to xwing or guardian chronicles so they wont be relieing on exisiting sculpts for future expansions.
Edit - latest fig being chased down.
Hope this helps
