If this is basically done and this is just effectively a marketing launch, and they're not adding a bunch of extras/rules/etc cool
If this is a lets add loads more minis, rules, boxes, cool stuff etc I agree
I like the trailer though
I like the trailer too and I would probably support them on this KS but... They haven't shown they can be trusted with more of my money yet. Atleast deliver Relic Knights before you come asking for more money.

It's like you read my mind.

The bunnies remind me a lot of Babs and Buster from Tiny Toons.
My guess is they are probably trying to cash in on a visual similarity, but I don't believe the mechanics are related at all.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Videos look pretty classy. Hopefully the miniatures translate well to restic(pretty sure I saw a zombunny somewhere in relation to this).

Oh no... They have taken to the Mantic model of gathering money from multiple KS before delivering... Hopefully that isn't to cover the lack of quality of delivered product. I don't trust many companies to do back to back KS without it harming delivery or quality.
Still waiting for Relic Knights...

To be fair, CMoN is the one dragging their feet now. Ninja Pop passed the buck on delivery a week of two ago.
Hopefully they have plenty of production models ready to show off. I don't like seeing just box art, although admittedly it hasn't launched yet.

Their reply to me was that they share some personnel, but BvZ is a Ninja Division project and will not affect SDE fulfillment.
Make of it what you will.
I'm cautiously optimistic that they're being honest. Call it naivety if you like, but they seem to be coming along well with SDE since the fundraising ended.

Could it be that Ninja Pop is trying to compartmentalize any bad press onto one company? Tin-foil hat time I know, but they seem to be very closely related at least, and sharing personnel would mean they have some people working on two projects... How could that not interfere?

Agreed. Anyone who wants to bid on this needs to go take a look at the KS delivery dates for Relic Knights and Robotech and then look at a calendar with the knowledge that NEITHER of their first two campaigns has delivered yet despite the massive delays. If you want to bid after that, so be it... but at least you can't claim you weren't warned.

I think with the overall zombie theme though, you can still toss other forms of undead in there and it would all still fit together pretty thematically.
It's the 9th over here now, so I guess we need to wait for the rest of the world to catch up. And here I was worried I wouldn't get to see the start of this.
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

I'm not interested in the concept at all, so I won't be pledging but I did want to address that point. It's quite easy to have people that are very much needed at the beginning of a project, and then have those same people be feet on fish when it comes to other stages. Having a body does not mean one can contribute productively; you have to have the skills that are required at the time. A great concept artist is a vital part of an early project, for example, but they might be so-so sculptors (middle of the project) and have no idea at all about mold-making/engineering (late phase of the project). In that example, once the early part of a project is done, they no longer have a role on that project until new concept art is needed. In the interest of not paying them to do nothing, you have them start on something else. The devil is in figuring out the right ratio to keep everyone working since some phases are noticeably faster.
It's similar to the development of MMOs where people rant about a developer creating new dungeons and content rather than fixing server latency and disconnects. It completely glosses over that the personnel on the art and design teams have very little overlap with the network operations crew. Even if they re-allocated the artists to help, they likely wouldn't accomplish much and the actual things they COULD produce would be delayed as a result.
Now, that said MMO studios are comparatively huge (bearing in mind we're comparing to miniatures companies) so it's not uncommon to see that level of specialization. I personally do not believe Soda Ninja Pop Division has that many staffers that they operate under a similar model, but I did want to point out that their claim is entirely plausible. Believable is another matter, but that's up to each individual to decide for themselves...
