Title: (Kickstarter) Human Interface - Nakamura Tower
Post by: Malebolgia on 21 April 2015, 07:32:17 AM
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/003/640/671/56510c1945d9c6ea01048990a7ec93e9_original.jpg?v=1429483054&w=700&h=&fit=max&auto=format&q=92&s=2afa373fc3d022592ef56947f29862f3)

Human Interface - Nakamura Tower is a board game that is a unique combination of many elements known from tactical and skirmish games, RPG’s and board games. The game is based on a struggle between two powerful megacorporations that takes place in the title tower.

HINT is designed for 2+ people but through different scenarios can be played alone, in cooperation or against other players. The story happens in the near future when the world is dominated by new technologies.

Yup, found this yesterday... Looks promising. I would prefer plastic miniatures though. I'm intrigued by the cyberspace implementation.

Same sentiments from me.  It looks like a promising game, but not promising enough to put up with metal figures.

Looks pretty interesting, and I'm happy to see the metal miniatures. The police figures look really useful.
Just one thing. Doesn't this sound a hell of a lot like MERCS Recon?
Title: Re: (Kickstarter) Human Interface - Nakamura Tower
Post by: Cherno on 23 April 2015, 08:22:55 AM
Yes I thought the same thing, I had to double check because at first I suspected that MERCS: Recon failed the KS and gotr repackaged as this, but it's really it's own game. I guess the added Cyberspace mechanics layer makes it sufficiently different, IMHO.

Post by: Steve F on 23 April 2015, 08:58:08 AM
From the title, I was expecting a terrain piece!

The "RAID 44" figures are useful, but the civilians are let down by the treatment of cloth - it looks like cheap CGI animation.  See "Tetsuo Kenji" in particular, whose jacket fails to hang in a plausible way, or indeed in any way at all.  The others are less obvious, but suffering from the same basic problem.

Title: Re: (Kickstarter) Human Interface - Nakamura Tower
Post by: tnjrp on 26 April 2015, 09:58:26 AM
I'm thinking of doing that too but will have to see. A gaming buddy is a bit keen on pledging for this so I might end up fronting the whole shebang even if I just end up with a couple of drones and maybe one or two other minis myself. While the human/posthuman/whathavethey figs look nice by and large, I've finally failed to justify to myself why I should shell out money on more random scifi combatant miniatures that I'll struggle finding a use for in more than one single game. So he'd have to take on most or even all of those and that may mean the entire idea falls through because of that.
Title: Re: (Kickstarter) Human Interface - Nakamura Tower
Post by: robh on 27 April 2015, 02:49:13 PM
I would like to take a look at the game itself but have no interest in any of the figures. Shame there isn't a cheaper pledge as a boardgame with card standee minis.

If there is anyone out there who wants the minis seperate from the game give me a shout.

On KS was a question about HINT edition with standup character cards instead of minis.
I think it will not be in offer, but I might be of wrong impression.

No, your impression is correct, there are no plans for a version without figures......at least not yet.

Just watched the video.......dreadful.  Background music drowns out the commentary, camera jumps around and in and out of focus....and all deliberately done in post processing. An attempt to look edgy and cool has resulted in something virtually unwatchable and un-intelligible....disaster.

I agree with everything you just said. So do many people on kickstarters leading the creators to post this.

"It seems our footage doesn’t meet your expectations… Of course your comments are extremely valuable to us, and because we take your criticism very much to heart, we’ve decided to make another one. Tripod, camera, action! Nothing else. No special effects only game mechanics. It’s Friday, weekend ahead of us, so there is no time to lose, we are getting down to work. We will post a new gameplay by the end of the weekend.
P.S. We are grateful for every positive comment : )."

Yes, that was great to see. The people at PING obviously are passionate about their product, but their view on a tutorial video was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off. So great they accept the criticism and go back to a new version rightaway.

The new video is a huge improvement on the earlier one. Now you get some idea of what the game is going to feel like. The next part will be the deciding one l think, that should show a game turn underway.
I am impressed with the attitude they have shown so far, very willing to listen and accept feedback.
Painted figures look great too.

As long as they don't pull fast one and switch from metal to resin after months of delays, I'll be OK.

The approach Postindustrial Games have taken with the Major Zack free figure is interesting, I have not seen that in a KS campaign before. You only get it if you held a qualifying pledge for the specified 48 hours during the campaign, and those 48 hours expire before the "remind me" notices are sent out by KS.

Rewarding the backers who have been with the project during the campaign, rather than waiting for the last minute joiners.

Noy only is this a great looking game, but there is a lot to like in the way it is being run.

Comm-link prompted incoming message:

- 'Get behind the enemy lines and march towards waypoint Alpha. Take any extra weapon & ammo from the arsenal.

By chance take on the nearby storage and get some spare chips there.

Next move on to waypoint Beta. From the depot pick any equipment suitable for the next goal.

Finally target waypoint Gamma. Remember: it is a rescue mission for Snake Queen. You are her only hope, but there is nearly one hour left to extract her from the enemy camp. Will you make it?'

A fifth member would be great. That would give us a very nice selction of factions to play with.

Im also very interested in using these models for Wargames outside of the board game.

Fully burnt out with kickstarters, If it's any good I'll pick it up when it's released proper, it's not like I don't have a mountain of lead sitting around waiting to be painted is it.

'- Who asked for extra weapons? There you go...'

Black Stone team is got a lot of new toys for playing as 77.5k GBP SG was reached:

HINT backers haven't let the Black Stone squad down and unlocked the last team member crossing  80k GBP SG:

If you think it is over have a look at new KS exclusive addon and yet another SG:

PING as a 'listening company' answered a KS question about exo skeleton. Maybe we all should reconsider our our wishes before wording them out. ;)

We can still make it - there 6 hours left!

In the last hours happened so much it was tough to follow online.

Below you can find a brief overview.


Two SG were met:

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/003/827/560/ece67bcd7d81210a31a73c039eb2151e_original.jpg?v=1432128899&w=700&h=&fit=max&auto=format&q=92&s=6d1a56d19422be9e959a97a268a78221)

Both AI Numan Hybrid Projcet models' SG remained locked:

'Listening company' story continued: Who was missing miss officer can still hire her as addon or ask for more Oneda sisters:

AI Human Hybrid project was offered in two additional forms:

The terminals haven't added much to the terminal value of the project:

I too decided to jump in on this, I didn't see that there was a thread here on LAF for it.  I pledged assuming it will be late. For some reason games of this nature tend to be delayed at least a couple months, usually more.

Hope they come out that good.  I like some of the design choices there.

I am very much looking forward to this game. The figs look perfect.

Absolutely!
I went in initially just to grab the rules and all the cards to use with my Rezolution/Shadowrun hybrid game, but became hooked on the figures during the KS.

They are a very responsive and helpful team behind the project. A couple of us commented on a problem with the render on one of the figures (ammo feed for cannon connected to his webbing not the ammo drum) and they immediately reworked it to correct the issue.

I was in it fof the obvious Deus Ex draw but so very impressed withthe teams reflexivity and responsiveness to comment and critism. Fresh regular updates and a listening ear.

And no vapourware or empty promises either.

I received my game box today. Very big, very heavy and very full. I only ordered the basic game so no extras. Hopefully it'll get a try out soon.

Echoed...

I'm so kicking myself for missing this KS. Instead of having to put up with the trainwreck that is Mercs: Recon, I could have had my hands on these beauties, which would fit in seamlessly with my budding Deus Ex (HR) project...  :?

I am still waiting on mine, but when it arrives I will be taking out the "game" elements and parting with the figures so if anyone is interested in picking them up drop me a PM.

Got mine today. Is it just me or do the extra models including the police supplement not come with any of the character sheets.
Title: Re: (Kickstarter) Human Interface - Nakamura Tower
Post by: robh on 11 August 2016, 04:03:34 PM
The characters not included with the basic box set come with the small blister sized cards.
There is some discussion of other characters in large card format being available for download in due course.
