Post by: Roddy on 07 November 2017, 09:30:59 AM: Didn't see any thread about this but Hysterycal Games have just launched a 10mm aerial game on kickstarter.

And they've reached 2 stretch goals already

What a great idea - and how come you kept it secret for so long.

Well done Rob.

My project schedule is too full for this KS, but I don't see Nazis on dinosaurs being anywhere near the same IP as dwarves and orcs on dragons and eagles. Plus I'm not sure if the Eureka line is actually older than the Panzerfauste range/setting that started with Wessex.

Post by: TwoGunBob on 08 November 2017, 10:36:08 PM: I was excited, then remembered the Panzerfauste kickstarter and checked to see if that one had completed. As a Robotech backer, an Outirder backer, and leery of kickstarter in general because the format offers backers no protection I just can't go in on it with Panzerfauste still hanging around unfinished. You guys made your goals so my opine is pretty moot but I just don't feel comfortable throwing money at another company that is 'working on it.'

Post by: dampfpanzerwagon on 08 November 2017, 10:40:16 PM: According to the amount of backers - I'm sure that this will be a goer.

Nearly £5000 of a £1000 goal and still 11 days to go.

Scramble, scramble, scramble.

We hadn't planned on making it a KS. We were going to release just the boxed game, like Futbowel last year - but got excited about the prospect of additional planes etc.

We're still not stretching too far and doing our usual 'be clear with the backers' approach.

The Vulture and War Eagle are already in production. The Spitfyre production starts next week. :)

I really hope you are trying to be ironic... :D
