@motar - I was actually working on the video right now when I received a notification about this comment. I said I hope to have the video done by mid April. I didn't promise that it will be done on a specific date. It is coming.
The other video I was speaking of was the Super Mario Crossover 3.0 trailer. You can see it if you go to my website. Everything I wrote was truthful so I do not understand what the problem is. I am doing everything that is possible in our current situation to make everyone happy, so please try to be a little more patient.
Creator motar on April 30
@explodingrabbit "Whoa I forgot we had a comment section on Kickstarter. We're working on a video that's going to show a lot of the stuff we have so far and it should give you all the information we have up until this point. I'm hoping to have the video done by mid April. Sorry it's been taking so long, but we've been working on something else which you should see soon if you follow our website."
This is the video I spoke of is the one you said you were making back on April 2nd. Ring any bell?
Creator Octopus_Pancake on April 29
Yikes, I completely forgot about this game. I don't have access to the private backers forum on your website for some reason. would love to see all the info on the game since I'm quite behind. Hope to hear a response soon.
Creator Exploding Rabbit on April 23
@motar - Why do you regret backing and what video update are you referring to? If there is anything I can do to help you feel better about backing this project I will do my best to do it.
Creator motar on April 22
@Mario-Fan What other option do we have? I sure enjoyed the mid april video update....
Creator Mario-Fan on April 20
@motar Oh, just you wait. ^_^
Creator motar on April 11
This is the 1st kickstart that I regret backing.
Creator Christopher Alden on April 2
SMBC, even.
Creator Christopher Alden on April 2
Thanks for the update, ER. I'm a member of the SMBC community, so I consider my donation payment for the fun I've had with SBC (since, uhh, you can't take money for SBC). SRS is just a bonus. And I have faith that you'll come through with it... eventually.
Creator Justin Raymond on April 2
Hey, hey, Jay and gang. I'm not upset or worried. I've been excited to follow your progress thus far and I'm patiently waiting for what will be awesome. :)
Creator Adolfo Fernandez Martinez on April 2
To be honest I completely forgot for some time that I had backed this.
That doesn't mean I have any less faith that I had back when we started this, but i'd love to see more from you guys. I fricking loved that last update to SMBC with the zelda 2 skins AND i'd love to see more of that, but a little bit more from this game would make me happy. It has been quite a long while since the project was funded, so it would be great to have more news. Keep it up man!
Creator Exploding Rabbit on April 2
@Michael Hancock: I'm not sure what you're talking about. Did you read the update I just posted?
Creator Michael Hancock on April 2
Hope you enjoyed my money. This is the first project on Kickstarter that has sold me a bill of goods without any proven effort to earn that money. But there have been plenty that actually followed through. I suppose it was inevitable. Kickstarter makes no promises and I consider it money spent supporting "potential." How long did it take you to blow through $50K?
Creator Exploding Rabbit on April 2
I just read all the comments here from the last few months. I know this sounds stupid, but I forgot this section existed and I feel very bad for doing that since it looks like people have been asking questions here. I am in no way trying to keep people in the dark and always respond when a question is asked that I am aware of. I wish Zach would have told me what was going on here since he's been responding to stuff. Anyway, I'll be following this section from now on. I'm very sorry if you thought I was ignoring your questions or comments.
Creator Exploding Rabbit on April 2

Creator Peter Wysoczanski - Obsidan Order on March 26
@Zach Robinson good to hear about an update seeing we have been in the dark, even the Twitter account doesnt hold any real info on whats going on, so thank you. "while longer" this doesnt sound good.
Creator Zach Robinson on March 26
To expand on the release date thing, Jay mainly picked March cause it seemed like a reasonable date but as things progressed we realized it would take a while longer.
Creator Zach Robinson on March 25
@Peter We ended up having an extra person move into the house late so we had to sort things out for him. The release date was for March but we aren't going to be able to meet that, Jay mentioned at one point that he picked the date at random since it was required by kickstarter. Next time he updates he should have more to say about that though.
Creator Dax Jacobson on March 25

Creator Peter Wysoczanski - Obsidan Order on March 25
@Zach Robinson so whats the dillio?... You guys have been quiet as a mouse.. ESPECIALLY since march is here and almost gone
Creator Zach Robinson on March 24
Hey guys, Zach from the team again, really sorry things have been so slow lately. Things have been going fairly well and hopefully it won't be too long before an update, I can't say specifically when the next one might be but just know that we haven't forgotten you guys.
Thanks again for all your support! :D
Creator Peter Wysoczanski - Obsidan Order on March 21
@Ben Mogzec yeah i guess but how long does it take to do a Let's Play? The twitter is really all about the "Lets Play" with no real new info... and the last post on their Backers Only thread was Feb28 with the last "UPDATE" being Feb1... I dont really care about a genuine update per say, but the lack of life within the comments and the forum about the actual game... I very much enjoy the bits of info about art, color and design and hope there will be more to come :)
Creator Ben Mogzec on March 17
Keep in mind, Jay has been actively releasing episodes of the Let's Play series that he was commissioned with from the highest tier pledge. The most recent episode was released last Thursday, March 14th. Things also go a bit behind because the whole team didn't get moved in to the same house and settled until sometime in October.
Creator Peter Wysoczanski - Obsidan Order on March 15
@Jared... I've been noticing a trend in KSers as of late where information is like a Dam that just was demolished all the info is dumping out all at once and a few weeks later its just a trickle drying up. Whats worse is when people ask questions there are little to no responses. I understand that companies get busy and people get lost in their day to day, however its Ignorant thinking that the people that are behind you (either financially or creatively or whatever) don't deserve some communication back. I'd like Kickstarter to put a mandate in maybe for all Projects to have a timeline or calendar on when to expect actual updates.
Creator Jared on March 13
@Peter
You are right, there are some some VERY slight updates on the forums.
By my count, there have are 0 new threads and new 8 posts to old threads since the update here on Feb. 5th. But... 2 of those posts were from ER team members with slight updates. I think that a scheduled monthly Kickstarter update would go a long way, even if it's a We-sat-around-and-didn't-get-anything-done,-but-haven't-forgotten-you update.
Creator Peter Wysoczanski - Obsidan Order on March 11
There are some slight updates on the forums:

Creator Eli Rogers on March 11
Anything?
Creator Jean-Marc Giffin on February 16
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Creator Jeremy Durant on February 3
hhhheeeeeeeellllllllllloooooooooo
Creator Ray Weiss on January 9
Thanks for the update Zach, its appreciated!
Creator Zach Robinson on January 8
This is Zach again, from the project. Jay had to pick dates for beta and release when he started the kickstarter so he just picked some somewhat feasible dates for them, it looks like things might be coming a bit later then the schedule says though, the game will more then likely be a few months later then the date says, sorry for the delay. Once we figure out more solid dates I'm sure Jay will do an update with them.
Creator Ray Weiss on January 8
Anyone know whats going on with the game? beta access donors were supposed to be able to start testing in december, any update on that?
Creator Bart Gasiewski on December 27
Hoping to hear about the progress of the game in the new year!
Creator Sean S. Prak on September 20, 2012
I know you all been busy, but an update (not about the game but with your progress on your situations) would be nice please. Anything can help to kill our hunger for SUPER RETRO SQUAD. WE'RE STARVING!
Creator Zach Robinson on September 12, 2012
Shouldn't be too long before you guys have another update, we're preparing to move into a house this weekend so we can all work in person, once that happens things should speed up a bit.
Creator Devon Rampe on September 10, 2012
Hi guys! Just checking in to see how the game's progressing. :) We'd love an update. :)
Creator Peter Wysoczanski - Obsidan Order on August 28, 2012
will the characters have such brilliant dance moves as you guys?
Creator Brandon Clark on August 9, 2012
@Robert: thats the beauty of retro throwbacks, its all the things u love about the old school games that influences the development of it, i just hope we get to see some really clever nes references
Creator Robert Fravel on August 7, 2012
I hope they have just as much fun developing the game. You can always tell when you play
Creator Dwaine on August 7, 2012
re: Dance Video
Uhhhh, I'm speechless....
Creator Zambie Kupos on July 24, 2012
I'm glad to see that the documentary will be on it's way. Can't wait for the game itself ! :D
Creator Brandon Clark on July 24, 2012
keep up with the updates guys, cant wait for the full game, are we gunna need to go on the forum for all the updates or will u guys post them on kickstarter?
Creator Peter Wysoczanski - Obsidan Order on July 24, 2012
@Exploding Rabbit I love your passion for the gamers who funded :D I will fund any project you put up good sir.
Creator Exploding Rabbit on July 23, 2012
@Henning: No, you don't need to register for the forums to get the game.
Creator Reyd on July 23, 2012
@Henning: It's only for the secret forums. There shouldn't be any reason for you not to get your rewards, since you can receive kickstarter mails anyway.
Creator Henning on July 23, 2012
So, um, hi. I just got a mail that asked me for feedback, yet when I clicked on it I was supposed to registert in your forums (or give the option "skip"). I am happy to skip the forums - however, the mail said this was important for the delivery of my reward. Is it compulsory to join your forums to claim the game? Or is that unfortunate phrasing on Kickstarter's side?
Creator karmeck on July 22, 2012
This comment has been removed by Kickstarter.
Creator Mario-Fan on July 21, 2012
I put "Mario-Fan" in the survey, but if it's a problem, I'm perfectly happy with being referred to as "Manni-Fan".
Creator John Gaines on July 20, 2012
Thanks, I'll be there until the private one is set up!
Creator Exploding Rabbit on July 20, 2012
@John: I'm still working on how I'm going to set that up. There's nothing in the private forum yet anyway so you can just use the public one until it's figured out.
