Honestly, Soda Pop/Ninja Division should call their next kickstarter "Just the tip".

So how far out now (and how late!) is delivery of their first KS - Relic Knights?

No one knows and it's now 1 year late. Delayed for "quality".

I thought it was finally due to ship soon. Or did that end up like the last several "due to ship soon" scenarios?

I thought it was literally packed on palettes and ready to get sent to the masses. It didn't get delayed AGAIN did it?

I was all set to start scouring ebay for those Oni looking guys.

Relic knights is in the US being sorted/packed for dispatch right now (for the EU/Asia Pacific things are more complicated

This appears to now be set for launch on 11th june... no official word why just the date has changed on the youtube teaser

Your already delaying th project a few days... Why not delay it alittle more until Soda Pop/Ninja actually deliver something. It's not like there is a ton of hype out there for this game.

I've no idea why they've chosen this launch window, with, as you say, very little hype

although if they delay for Relic Knights to actually deliver which is CMON not them you're looking more at a month than a few days based on time taken for other big CMON campaigns (and probably longer for those in EU/Asia Pacific)

Maybe they 'know' of other big campaigns due to launch in the next few months, or perhaps something very similar to the game itself

Maybe the buyout of their CMON contract involved a loan, and that was contingent on planned 'milestones' of which this campaign is one

your speculation is as good as mine

In before Zombicide season 3 is my guess for the rushed launch date even then they will probably overlap unless it's a 2 week campaign I'll pass on this for Zc 3 where as I might of backed if they weren't so close together

This is what I'm thinking.

I don't think it'll have any impact on Z:S3 making around $3MM

launches tomorrow (they've posted on facebook)

no early birds

apparently a single pledge level (so like SDE forgotten king)

I saw the post of facebook... I really don't know how I feel about this project. If they had waited until Ninja Division started fuffilling atleast one of the KS projects it's worked on I'd have no problems backing this.

WARNING! ZOMBIES AHEAD! The Dead will rise at Midnight!

It's live now.

I'll take one for the team... maybe.

Wish they had fulfilled some of their outstanding games first.

All the flash stuff on the page isn't helping my eyes much.

21days delivery May 2015

$80 for the pledge level. I'll keep an eye on it it's this or Xenoshyft for this months KS money

It looks kind of fun, but at the moment I've got Redbox Games, Impact and the postage (and maybe extras) for Arcadia Quest to fund so I'll probably pass

(might if there is a pledge manager later option depending on how it looks near the end)

I've got it on my watch list. I'm a little sad it's not a coop but is an adversarial game.

Only 1 game mode revealed so far. There are 7 total. AI Zombies could easily be one of them.

EDIT: Ninja Division confirmed AI Zombie mode in the comments. So true co-op is in.

This looks simply awful... Does this theme, or gameplay appeal to anyone? There are so much better zombie games out there.

I am honestly curious why this appeals to anyone outside blind brand loyalty or kickstarter addiction. If you can explain it, I will give you an internet cookie.

I like the art style (reminds me of Tiny Toons). The multiple game modes intrigue me, and it seems more family friendly than other, similar games (as family friendly as killing zombies can be).

My wife also likes the cutesy factor.

I understand that tastes vary dramatically though.

I like the art design on the zombies.

But I can't imagine why I'd be playing it over Zombicide right now.

Maybe the additional game modes will make that more appealing to me. Not sure yet.

And I'm sure there's gonna be a crossover bunny that can be used in SDE, which of course will make me want it.

They just said no SDE crossovers...

Or additional maps...

Hmmm...

Oh.... They did?

I hope they're lying. I'd actually be interested in a bunny hero.

Ugh, none of these go with SDE at all. Not even the zombies.

Yeah, I'd echo the sentiment that before anyone plops money down on this they look at the likes of the Robotech KS they're involved in.

Isn't Kevin Siembieda and Palladium involved (even if its only marginally) in that one since they own the tabletop game rights to Robotech? That in and of itself should be enough to scare anybody away

Ehhh...

I would have rather had Sodapop run this... After they delivered SDE.

As it stands now the meh factor and Ninja Division are keeping me away.

I don't understand the difference, I guess, though I agree that it would have been nice to see something come to fruition before launching another KS so close on the heels of SDE.

At least the SDE updates have been solid thusfar.

I dunno - the gameplay sounds kind of intriguing to me - especially "the building" parts. But I'm not a fan of the minis/art style. So it's no go.

Maybe because you missed the first two Zombicide Kickstarters and you don't want to be 300 exclusives behind? And their is a crossover bunny. The zombie bunny they included at the end of the SDE campaign ...

Launching a zombiecide parody before coolmini ships your other kickstarter might not be the hottest idea in the world.

I suppose they have to balance pledges lost as people are unwilling to pledge without seeing how relic knights ended up and the the risk of losing pledges because people see how relic knights turned out.

Certainly a tough choice.

'shrug' I missed both Zombicide KS, picked up a copy a couple of weeks ago and I love it! I don't need the 'exclusives' to have fun with it. This though looks utter gak!
