Quelques visuels des capitaines

elles ont de la gueule ! Ca donne un petit côté film d’animation sympathique !

Pas mal !
Ca change de ce qu’ils avaient montré jusque là ;)

nouveau visuel d’une carte

retard en prod, donc livraison repoussée de 2 mois.
De plus il risque d’y avoir 2 envois : Premier pour le jeu de base et les 7 figurines de base. Deuxième, le reste…

livraison à nouveau repoussée pour début 2014 au mieux.

nouvelle update
En gros ils s’excusent, c’est le premier jeu qu’ils éditent, ils veulent faire bien et avec les SG, ça leur prend plus de temps que prévu. Ils estiment au mieux une livraison en juin, au pire en octobre (initialement prévu en octobre 2013)

Un an de retard, semble assez cohérent vu les SG et addons qu’ils avaient intégrés.
La prochaine fois, ils seront réalistes concernant leurs délais.

Update du 9 juin :
Ils annoncent qu’ils risquent de faire deux envois : un pour le jeu de base via Amazon.uk (pour les européens) et les figs plus tard. Pour les figs, il y aurait le risque qu’on se mange les taxes… Donc ils sont entrain de voir pour contrecarrer ce problème. Sinon ils proposent un envoi entreprise à entreprise.
Si c’est le cas, je verrai avec ma boutique habituelle s’il peut réceptionner pour nous 3 ;)
Pour la date, toujours rien de précis.

Merci pour les news Ezekiel

Pas de pb pour moi :D

Vous croyez encore à la fourniture de ce jeu vous? J’ai l’impression qu’on recevra peut être le jeu mais pas les figurines.

J’y crois.
Bah les figurines ya intérêt qu’on les ait, vu que la majeure partie de leur update ne parlait que de ça.
Je crois qu’il faut être méga patient^^

Elle se mangera quand meme les taxes... et ne pourras pas les sortir en compta sans vous facturer :)

Je pense que ça se fera, ils sont très actif forum et ks.
Ils ont expliqué dans leur dernier update à quel point ils ont sous-estimé, et aussi le fait que la bêta test à été énormément bénéfique au jeu, et que ça a nécessité pas mal de refonte.

Holum dit:Ils ont expliqué dans leur dernier update à quel point ils ont sous-estimé, et aussi le fait que la bêta test à été énormément bénéfique au jeu, et que ça a nécessité pas mal de refonte.

Ca j'adore, le dernier qui m'a fait ca a un an de retard, et j'ai backé un party game pour me retrouver avec un familial+... il c'est laissé embrouillé par 3 (peut etre 4) gars super actifs sur KS et au final c'est plus du tout du tout le meme jeu, d'un truc ultra simple on est passé sur une usine a gaz (qui sera en plus surement pas équlibrée)

La c’est l’inverse, ils sont passé de 2h environ à moins (30/90),et ça serait apparemment plus fluide qu’avant.

Tu peux poster le contenu de l’update? Je suis un late backer donc je ne peux rien lire du tout…

Hello, backers!
You have raised many questions over the last several days, and we want to try and give you some answers. There are still certain questions we cannot fully address. So apologies if this information comes out in a slow drip instead of a gushing burst. More details will be forthcoming when they are solidified, but here is what we have pinned down and can share:
WHAT IS MY PLEDGE WORTH? MORE THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT.
MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) is a term many people dismiss as a magical number plucked from the æther and randomly slapped on a product. While that certainly can be the case for some projects, in the mainstream world of board gaming, everything should apparently be priced a 4 to 5 times the cost to manufacture it. This is due to the way the market is set up and the numerous middlemen required to get a game to your door. With anything priced below 4 times cost, you are in for a world of hurt–there’s not enough pie to go around for all the required hands.
Due to a few key quotes falling through and some rather heinous oversights, IOW wound up charging every backer a multiple of 2 on most products. This is the root of the issue we’re wrestling. To help put everything in context, let’s actually go over the fair market value of your pledge.
BREAKING DOWN A $75 BASIC PLEDGE
Teramyyd:Earthsphere Core Game (1-4 players)
•324 cards
•9 large, double-sided chipboard tiles
•2 sheets of chipboard tokens
•15 plastic stands
•4 player mats
•24 dice
•24-36 page rulebook (subject to art layout)
MSRP $80
So far so good. But you’ll notice I didn’t mention a lot of stuff that you might be expecting, like metal coins, the 5-6 player content, and a boatload of plastic miniatures. Yet we’re already at $80. To continue:
Expansion Pack 1 (5-6 player addition; wave 2 captains and airships)
•108 cards,
•8 plastic stands
•2 player mats
•1 sheet of chipboard tokens
•12 dice
•4-8 page rulebook (subject to art layout)
MSRP $40
Yep, we’re up to $120 MSRP and have yet to add the metal coins, dice bags, and Quest Markers. These had to be shuffled around so as not to completely blow out the MSRP of the products and kill any shot it has at attracting all the potential buyers needed for Teramyyd:Earthsphere to get a second shot at life.
But wait, there’s more! The basic $75 pledge also included 10 massive, detailed, complicated miniatures that have to be spincast in hobby-grade material to accurately recreate what was shown on Kickstarter. Their dimensions and interactive 3D files have been posted by Robert on BoardGameGeek.com. The $75 pledge includes 1 each of the following:
•Aeriopolis
•Aernyx
•Alban Sol
•Djinaari
•Kobolos
•Maelstrom
•Sara
•Verdant Wing
•White Sails
•Yuansu
MSRP: $210-240 (depending on if we can optimize the sorting/packaging process)
But wait, there’s still more! Canvas bags! Metal Coins! Patches! Everyone gets a parrot! Wait, what?
•60 Coins
•2 Dice Bags
•8 Quest Markers
MSRP: $35
IN SUMMARY
The $75 basic pledge
•$80 Teramyyd:Earthsphere Core Game (1-4 players)
•$40 Expansion Pack 1
•$225 Miniatures
•$35 Goodies
TOTAL MSRP: $380 Plus free shipping to the US.
For $75.
Let me repeat that: The $75 basic pledge is looking to contain $380 MSRP of product, which was sold for $75, and $15 of that was earmarked for shipping. We’re talking $60 for $380 MSRP. Oh, you might say, I often get my games on Kickstarter at 30% off with free shipping! Fair enough, but how does 80% off with free shipping sound? Crazy? No. Absolutely stark-raving bonkers with a dash of elderberries on the side. There is no built-in profit with these numbers. Your pledge was for the cost to simply create it. And THEN there’s shipping. Bonkers really doesn’t even begin to describe it.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE $35 SUPER PLEDGE?
For the $35 “Super Pledge” add-on, you signed up for 8 second wave airships, 3 more White Sails, 4 Spawn of Kobolos, more dice bags, more metal coins, three parrots, and your choice of any tropical island. Our custom-backer turned quote-maestro Robert has called the “Super Pledge” may colorful terms as of late, but I assure you “Super” was not one of the words he used to describe it after gathering some updated, hard quotes for us.
Frankly, 80% off looks like a good deal for IOW compared to the “Super Pledge.” We’d rather save at least some dignity here and not break this one down, the MSRP is around ten times that $35 price. Stretch goal euphoria utterly enthralled the (now since severely keelhauled) marketing team during the Kickstarter. I can’t even wrap my head around what happened here. But here we are.
TL;DR version: The MSRP for a $75 pledge is $380, plus shipping. IOW, as a start-up company, simply cannot afford to spend $90 to fill an order that only paid $75. Let alone do that over a thousand times.
SO WHAT’S THE PLAN?
We’ve read your feedback. We’ve crunched the numbers. We’ve drank a lot of coffee. And the solution that makes the most sense is for IOW is to Kickstart the “Director’s Cut”, which will seek to expand the print run by opening Terammyd:Earthsphere up to late backers at a realistic discounted price.
It would also add a small expansion with bonus material we’d hate to not see make it to the game: Variant Kobolos types. A quest deck to add even further variety. A White Sail you could commandeer. A Spawn you could tame. Unique Curses. Did I mention Curses were added during Beta at no additional cost? There would also be several Ally and Foe portraits/likenesses up for grabs for backers who want to immortalize their support. Maybe even the rest of the third wave Airship/Captain card combinations. But NO new plastic. NO new major components that would take serious development time. NO crazy stretch goals are insane discounts. And no unrealistic (in hindsight) promises.
Everyone who has had the chance to playtest Teramyyd:Earthsphere since the end of Beta has loved the game. We’re confident it’s a great game and feel that people should be offered a chance to add it to their collection while they can. Once we lock down the print run, there very well might not be a subsequent one. IOW also has no plans for a general retail distribution release. The order is the order.
SO . . . WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
Lore Master Aaron has put together a couple videos that give an overview of the state of the game at the end of Beta. There have been a few tweaks here and there since, but these videos are largely accurate. Please note some of the art depicted is/was not final and is subject to minor adjustments in production
Teramyyd:Earthsphere - A Round of Play
Teramyyd:Earthsphere - A Simple Engagement
There will be a third video showing Set-up and Start-up, but part of the audio was garbled and is now being re-recorded.
Custom-backer Robert is also actively recruiting play testers in the Portland/Hillsboro, Oregon area. He’s even picked up a really nice camcorder, microphone system, and lighting rig on his own dime. His goal is to shoot some “watch it played” style gameplay videos to demonstrate the final version of the rules. Any takers? Be sure to also check out his posts on BoardGameGeek.com if you want to see the miniatures!
And because it is tradition to show off art, here are all 7 of the Arch-Nemeses, together for the first time. Enjoy!
