Brilliant....  lol
And let's not forget, people can alter their pledges during the pledge manager, so it still can be unfunded in a few months' time.
Really hope they'll pull the plug, get their things sorted out and will relaunche this one in about 6 months with PVC ( or hipps )-stuff to show, sombody who'll handle the communication for them and have much more pledge options.

Is that really possible? I had thought that the new KS rules forbade to change your pledge after the last 24h had started if it would unfund the project.

That's about it.

I saw one of the fanbois responding to lack of involvement from SD saying it's not fair to expect them to be around to answer questions because they have lives and jobs........
Unbelievable
In a few months to a year, if it heads south as expected, the KS' comments section will turn into a support group, like the one for Defiance Games... :-I

Can't believe the Massachusetts Attorney General dropped the ball on what's basically fraud...

Terms of Use...

You can change or cancel your pledge at any time before the project's funding deadline (with one exception). ... Once the project has been funded, you can only cancel or change your pledge by making special arrangements directly with the creator.

Good luck trying to get a response... lol

Once the pledge manager lands they'll long have had your money from KS. You'll be able to give them more, don't worry about that at all. Also remember to pledge for that celebration box, you won't be able to upgrade to resin with that sweet heavy centaur* if you don't.

Looks like a slow trickle of people simply changing from possibly losing 300 Euro to possible losing 1..

At this rate though it should still fund.

Ah, my bad. I thought it was possible in the PM both to add to your pledge or to substract from it...
Well, another red flag, so to speak  :?.

One comment made me laugh. Along the lines of " a lot of trolls not putting their money where their chatty mouths are"
Of course they aren't. They don't want to be swindled out of their hard earned money. It's not trolling if the facts back you up.

This is one of the two topics I posted which had most reads.
The other one was the '100 disasters in modelling' thread. Perhaps the two should be merged...  >:D

Surprisingly (ar least for me), they went back over 400,000 €.

At first I had imagined thousands of people like us all pledging 1 € in the last minutes just to be able to be part of the show!

I am glad they have enough local support/backers, to get it funded, I don't know if they had much international backing left?

Not knowing their reputation well, and all the red flags waving, well, they could have presented better.

Still will pop back to it occasionally to see if anything happens, don't feel I missed out as they only "one off" never again PVC....

 I have plenty of other stuff to get on with, and as mentioned, its cheap entertainment that may well be giving again in months to come.

Still would of course prefer it to deliver on time etc. but...
