Kabula Manufacturing
We got mixed news: Overall everything is moving forward smoothly, just a bit slower than expected.
On the negative side, we got news that: 1) our manufacturer is moving some of the production facilities to a new location 2) They also took some holidays, which at least is good news to them :).
In short, there were some delays, and we still did not get the pre-production sample copy that we have been waiting for in quite some time.
The engineers suggest that everything will be ready by May 10th, so we hope to get it before the next KS update.
On the positive side: The making of the metal molds for the miniatures has already started. So in theory our timelines should not be affected!
On the cautionary side: theory is just theory. When we built our timelines we implemented some buffer, but at this stage it has all been eaten up by delays here and there (some of them due to us and our inexperience, the guys at BangWee have been quite helpful most of the time). So while we are still pushing for starting delivery late June, if it actually happened in July or August we wouldn't be that surprised any more.
But we'll keep pushing, we worked very hard to make a great game and we can't wait for you to get it!
Here you have some pics from the making of our pre-production sample copies (the ones which should be done by May 10th)!
