Have all of the rewards been mailed out? I've not heard anything about it, and haven't recieved anything.

 

Hey everyone, someone informed me of this topic, so I thought it would be nice to come here and drop a few lines.

 

First of all, thanks for being seriously patient. I understand what a pain in the butt it is to give up cold hard cash and to see no news or updates. I want to make an effort to correct this, but first come our excuses.

 

 

 

First of all, we will not be taking any money and running. I will make sure that those that have put faith in us will be rewarded above and beyond what we have agreed too.

 

We haven't been posting he regular updates for two main reasons. One, is that we will be re-branding away from Too Late Dev, to a name that is not already TMed, to avoid too much connection with our old name we want to stop using it. The second reason is that we haven't been able to make much progress with he actual game since we have been working on the fund raiser and behind the scenes business stuff.

 

So onto some specifics...

When we agreed to paint all the armies we had a team of 4 people, locally and I thought that when split up it would be easy to do. Well 2 people quit the project and myself and Jason Dees, the lead programmer, have been plowering through the armies. Slapping paint to the best of our ability and pulling in the occasional gaming buddy when possible.

 

The specifics of business work comes mostly from work with taxes, identifying TMs, reworking the new site and future forum, writing some fiction for the game, deciding on a business plan, trying to manage our volunteer artists, and most importantly setting obtainable milestones that we will release to you. We originally set out to make weekly updates on our Blog, but when we lost part of the local team and had to spend less time making the game more playable, we quickly lost focus of that.

 

On our side, a weekly update of "Did some tax stuff" or "Painted some dark elves" seems silly. Yet it probably would be best to open those doors and give everyone a chance to see what we're actually doing. I'll personally make an effort to write regular updates once the new website is live. Other updates will be feature based, so hey may be few and far between.

 

I hope that gives some clarity to our situation. Also I am pretty good at answering emails sent through the website or private messages on this forum. So feel free to ask me anything that way.

Just got mine in earlier this week. Sadly it was not packed in ideally and there was some damage (repairable, but with painting needed ik_down.gif ) Hopefully yours gets there all in one piece.

I shouldn'tg be recieving anything but books, so I would have thought I would have got them some time ago.

Reaper has not been supporting any of their miniature games lately, and we don't want to get backed into a contract where we do a lot of leg work, bring Warlord back to life, and then Reaper could yank the IP away from us before we turn a profit.

 

Once I brought this up to Gus, he completely understood and was surprised that we kept with it as long as we did. He said that he was happy that they could help get us off the ground through our fundraiser and appreciated all I did for Warlord.

 

Everyone is still on very good terms and I hope to one day use Reaper to make badass miniatures of our own iconic characters.

After reading this on Adam's blog, I have to say that not everyone is happy. A lot of people gave money for a specific game that they love, and now that money is being used to reboot a company.

 

EDIT: updated info below

Update: Spoke to Adam. Apparently, A game is still going forward. Anyone who gave money for Warlord should contact him about participating in the other game.

 

Unfortunately, it does not feel the same. It is just like using miniatures from other game company to proxy the Warlord game figures.
