Also looks like he's stepping into the throw rather than on the point of throwing.

That's a nice demon. Very bestial. Does anyone know which story he's based from?

I think this one is based upon a quote from Thugra Khotan in the Black Colossus story.... There are a lot of demons in Conan stories, from swamp, forest, outer-dark, etc...

From Monolith and the last KS update :

Quote

The good news aside, I’m afraid I’m going to have to announce something that a lot of you have feared for some time now. We are not going to be able to carry out delivery as promised in October. We tried our best despite everything to keep to it, but it is now clearly impossible for us.

First of all, and this is something I feel it’s important to admit even if for some, it may seem evident: this is our first project, your support and enthusiasm for the project blew us away, which is a goodthing! However, the sheer scale of the project totally blindsided us and it has been a learning experience ever since February.

The biggest setback was of course the Amazon situation. Due to the delay in receiving the money, we areway behind in the preproduction process. Still, we strived to move ahead and assembled enough money to produce the Book of Skelos, as you have seen, but the majority of the work is only just getting under way.

Due to this delay, we are also going to miss our predicted start date for manufacturing, pushing us back even further. That’s not all, however. As pleased as we were, and continue to be, with the result of the campaign, we originally only planned for around $1.5 million. This means we have a lot more to produce than expected and we’ve had to adjust our estimations because of it. All this extra time is now pushing Conan’s production schedule dangerously close to Christmas and the Chinese New Year that follows after, which, as anyone will tell you, is a very difficult period to get things done in.

Here's the gist of it: We are still hoping that, against all the odds, you guys will get Conan under your Xmas trees this year (ie. delivery date: December). However, as much as we intend to strive for it, it’s unlikely and we may well be looking at a delivery date during the first trimester of 2016.

Once again, I can only apologize for the frustration this causes, as I’m sure that, much like ourselves, you guys can’t wait to get your hands on the game. You can count on us to keep working hard at it and we’re doing all we can to speed things along. For example: Managing both the production and pledge manager with our current resources has been an uphill battle, so we have recently brought on another team member in order to help us push through this phase.

Thank you again for your understanding. Despite these setbacks, we still plan on producing one of the finest games to ever grace your tables, bear with us and we will not disappoint you.

Nice, looking forward to this, and personally speaking I'm not overly concerned that its taking more time than Monolith had planned, as long as they keep updating us regularly.
