No August is their holiday. If this is their only job, though, I'm not sure they'll be taking the whole month off.

I to am starting to want to see movement. WIP renders. test castings, anything.

Probably better to forget that this one exists for a few months, chaps.

Sage advice there...

Mhmmm. Patience is the chief most virtue with all Kickstarters as we well know.

At some point you stop being patient and just become a mug.

They've ostensibly been back for a month now, according to Update 73, update 74 was two and a half weeks ago. Neither had much info or any pics, and they seemed more interested in talking about their next Kickstarter.

Prodos can manage to put out regular updates with pics of renders, so it's not like it's impossible.

I have to admit I check this thread because this project feels a bit like a trainwreck to me. I just can't stop watching.

But to be fair it's "only" been 6ish weeks since it ended. Nobody gets much done the first six weeks after a kickstarter or keeps in touch with people to let them know what's going on

There were too may complaints about the unfinished render they did post

it upset them (I suspect)

so now we have to wait till everything is totally finished, and they've had a chance to look at them with fresh eyes after a month or two of letting them sit

before we get to see anything

I am a little surprised about the lack of updates and news, but it's the first kickstarter I've actually followed through with so I'm hardly experienced with how they're usually run at this point. It just seems odd not to give at least a small update on how things are going it doesn't take that long to write a paragraph or two letting us know how things are progressing even if there weren't any pictures.

Does anyone know when we'll get to chose our models?

Well LnR just wrote in the Kickstarter forum that we might expect to see a bunch of pics late next week!! Sounds cool!

I agree that patience is a virtue with Kickstarter, but they were talking about, and harped on it quite a bit, a first wave in September. Which is next month... 12 days away to be precise.

Regarding render shots, WIPs and all, what would damage their product more, really? 1- Not shown models that are not what people expected and generate negative publicity and deflate the whole brand or 2- WIPs that attract criticism, but they can respond to the community and fine tune it to a more general consensus (that doesn't betray the artists' views either)?

Well they finally posted a comment. Apparently, they were totally going to do an update earlier, but they wanted to put in "loads" of images so it was pushed back to late next week(this week, now)

They've also postponed the seminar thingy until September, because holidays, apparently.

Confidence; they are not inspiring it.

It'll give us something to do for Xmas.

I remain completely unsurprised. Roll on Christmas 2014?

At which point exactly do we get the free "I told you so" pass and people don't simply say we're being to negative?

April 2014.

But probably best to wait until April 2nd, just to be safe.

I feel it could be sooner than that. Though it depends on the content of the next update and when it's actually posted. Whilst we are expecting it end of this week (so today and possibly the weekend) it could be argued that we won't see it before the end of the month. All depends on whether RH consider the weekend to be at the start of the week or the end of the week.

Hopefully Wolfenstein will be in the first wave, can't wait to be done with this one.

Here in France, we always see it as the end of the week, never the start. ^^

But, sometimes, by "fin de semaine" (end of week), we mean the end of the "work week", as in Monday to Friday.

I'd expect it today, tomorrow maybe.

You told us what exactly?
The estimated deilvery date is April 2014 as someone has already pointed out. I don't REALLY care what happens in between, as long as they do net go over april more than a few months.

They did claim to have a wave one several times throughout the campaign slated for September/October if I remember right. But then again I could be remembering wrong. All I know for sure is they had a first wave date set for this year.

Yeah, first wave was planned for as early as this September. It's still on the front page of the KS.

Though it looks like they could be polishing the latest update, given they just posted on the KS comments, which usually means they're fiddling with something in the background.

That's correct good sir. I am also willing to concede delays, it would be quite unexpected if there were none. But if the first wave isn't ready by April 2014 (the 2nd, just to be on the safe side) then I think I wouldn't be the only one to slightly lose faith.

It will be interesting to see what goes in what wave whenever what info goes live.

Aha! But did they say September 2013?

If we're lucky, 2014.

Uh, guys, this is already the most negative thread ever on Dakka, could you not add to it?

I'm sure things will take a turn for good once they start delivering.

I'm sure they will, but that's looking like it might be a ways away yet. They have 49 minutes left for their statement about an update "late next week" to be considered accurate - I get that they're leery of putting up unfinished stuff and getting a negative reaction, but crikey it takes five minutes to upload some screengrabs from the 3D sculpting software and write "here's where we're at, what do you guys think so far?".

Came to check on this thread to make myself feel better about not pledging for it. Mission accomplished.
