Show older commentsCreator Z Daniel Esgate 2 days ago
I'd like to point out that while Josh certainly went through a time that he didn't handle communicating with backers or forum fans well; he's been making regular updates here. Right now, I'm actually very happy now with both the quality and quantity of updates here.
That's much more than some other Projects which I'm backing have been doing.
Two great examples of how it could have went: I'm having to deal with one project misusing pledges on a different project (and their personal lifestyle); and another refusing to ship books that have been done for three months.
I'm not defending Quantum or anything. However, I do think perspective's important. There's no point in feeling cheated when he's showing good will.
Yes, the project's totally late. However, it's still being worked on, still being updated and at least now... every week we're getting closer and closer to a release.
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on May 13
You bother because back in 2011 the creator made you believe in this project and now you feel cheated... because you put your money here and you got NADA in return so far... Just like I bother. It's all we can do.
Creator Darren Shimasaki on May 13
Who knows anymore. At this rate we won't see any final product until late 2015, if we're lucky. I don't even know why I still bother checking up on this project anymore.
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on May 13
@Darren, are you talking about the missing Monday Update from last week, or the one from today that's likely to appear after Wednesday (I wish), showing that the book we backed in the end of 2011 is still more than 40% incomplete?
Creator Darren Shimasaki on May 10
How about that Monday Update?
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on April 26
No updates this Monday (Friday)?
Creator Adrian Maddocks on March 13
I have to agree with João, it would be nice to get an update on the rough %age of the writing and artwork completed, even if not an ETA on the finished book.
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on March 12
It would be really interesting to know how is the game progressing... It's good that we're getting updates, but they seem so lackluster in terms of contents. It's not that I do not like Hugo Solis' drawings, because I really do! But these updates just show that Hugo Solis is working and not Joshua Frost. Is Joshua Frost working?
Creator Chris Mortika on March 1
The update about the space program and interstellar exploration in the reald world was cool, Josh. Thank you.
How's the game progressing? What's on deck for the next pass through development?
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on February 27
It's Thursday and we don't have an update. Everything okay?
Creator Fantasyphil on February 15
Patience is a virtue. We'll all get what's coming to us eventually. :)
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on February 13
All this energy, all this focus, all this attention to the comments board when we had none in the recent past, a brand new update in the middle of the week, full of content, full of analysis. Okay, so no refund to me, but at least I know I stoked up a fire... that was worth it.
;-)
Creator Shervyn von Hoerl on February 13
I really don't understand the issue here. Creating a game from scratch takes time, getting the text, the layout and the printing takes time. Producing the art takes time. If you don't have the stomach to wait an indeterminate period of time, why are you here on Kickstarter? If you don't have the stomach to get nothing back because the project fails, why are you here on Kickstarter?
Creator Joshua Frost on February 13

Hello Joshua,
Can we discuss a way to refund some of your backers that are not interested in the project anymore, please?
Thanks!
João Flávio
Creator Joshua Frost on February 10
There is a known issue on the messageboards that I've addressed there, on my author Facebook, and on the company's Facebook page. The boards get stuck in maintenance mode and I'm not always immediately aware of it. The issue was corrected the moment someone pointed it out. The messageboards are up and have been since.
Creator Darren Benford-Brown on February 9
Well as I mentioned before, this has gone beyond the realms of me being remotely interested anymore.
I asked for a refund & get zero response on here on via messaging Josh, nice going mate!
Now the forums are down too...
Great customer service..lol
I've backed 28 projects..this is by far the worst for all the worst reasons
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on February 7
Hehe, good one Chris, maybe I should do the same. Okay, thanks. Let´s wait and hope.
Creator Chris Mortika on February 7
João, Josh has promised it as quickly as possible, and he's learned not to promise a release date. It will come as soon as it can, and it will be super-awesome.
(Having said that, it *is* in my will, as to which heir will receive my copy, should I pass from this world before the book ships.)
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on February 7
The big question is, when will we get the book?
Creator Darren Shimasaki on February 6
Infinite X forums down, and the guaranteed Monday update moved to Tuesday still isn't up on Wednesday. This is a good sign right?
Creator Phil on January 29
I'm starting to look forward to Quantum Mondays
Creator Paul Rees on January 21
These new Paradigms sound fun and the idea of an immortal automaton is interesting to say the least.
Good update.
Creator Paul Rees on January 14
Thank you for the update Josh! I look forward to Monday.
Creator Kristian Hartmann on January 11
Yep, if you stop the updates it sudenly looks like vaporware. Below are already some who ask for a refund.
I really can not understand why thos project managers stop to communicate with the backers.
Creator Josh Fosberry on January 11
I know my address has changed between now and the time the survey was sent. I'm sure others have as well, can we at least get a confirmation that a new survey will be sent to update this information when the delivery is near?
Creator Robby Anderson on January 11
I don't think KS has garnered a poor reputation, but it certainly has facilitated projects from people who probably wouldn't otherwise have been able to get projects funded and off the ground - likely because of scheduling and communication issues. :)
My big issues, though, are with promises unmet. They Might Be Flesh has been like that (and worse). Until yesterday, the Mongoose KS was like that. (On IndieGoGo, consider most LotFP projects.) This one is certainly in that camp. Not even necessarily promises of product, but consider this: "Updates will get loud again." - November 12th. There have been, what - 2 updates since then? 1 per month? That is hardly "loud".
Contrast to late projects that have been fully transparent - Better Angels, Tentacles and Eyeballs or Tales of a Fallen Empire (as examples). Go look at their updates and comments sections. I'm totally willing to give them passes, because they've been consistently engaged with their backers, which demonstrates (to me) that, you know, they care about their backers.
Creator Kristian Hartmann on January 11
And that is exactly the reason why Kickstarter has garnered such a negative reputation in gaming circles:
1) Project is waaaay to late
2) NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE BACKERS
Josh, from your long experience you should now that communication is the most important thing!
That is no way to treat us.
And don't tell us some apologies about sickness, artists/frelancers leaving in a critical moment or some other often heard BS.
Just tell us when this project will be finished and we will receive the book(s) or come clean and tell us this project won't be finished and refund the cash.
Creator Josh Fosberry on January 10
Any chance at some sort of update? Would be nice to know how things are going.
Creator Darren Benford-Brown on January 10
Well any sort of reply would be good!
Even the forum has died it seems 8(
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on January 9
@darren benford-brown, exactly the same happened to me... I never really looked into the beta files or whatever and my interest in the content and book simply disappeared... When this KS ended I was really excited, but that was more than one year ago...
Creator Darren Shimasaki on January 8
Any word on anything?
Creator Darren Benford-Brown on January 8
Joshua
I would like a refund please. My interest in the game has totally waned I'm afraid & it would only gather dust on a shelf now.
I pledged at the $47 level international.
Creator Kristian Hartmann on January 7
This project is getting long in the tooth. Joshua, we rellay need some meaningful updates with some estimates when we will receive the book.
Creator Robby Anderson on January 7
Sooo..... progress?
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on January 2
Hello Joshua. I was wondering if you could refund me my total pledge amount, please? Thank you in advance! Regards
Creator Steve Darnell on January 1
@Josh Blick. I know this isn't a store. A store has customers who get a product as soon as they give their money. We are not customers; we are INVESTORS. We are limited investors, and as such we expect a return on our investment. The expected and promised return is the product(s) listed at the reward level at which we pledged. We all saw our money disappear over a year ago and in return we have yet to see any indication as to when we will finally see a return on the investment we made. No, I will not stop using Kickstarter, because it has produced some of the best new products and works I have seen in a long time. However, I will continue to worry when I invest in a product, see my money taken, and then fail to see any real indication down the line that what I invested in is coming to fruition or when.
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on December 23
Really silent...
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on December 19
I woudn't call it loud ;-)
It made some noise, but then it was silent again. Maybe it is for the best, maybe it is because the content is almost done... We can only hope.
Creator Joshua Frost on December 13
Starting today, João. :-)
Creator João Flávio G. Falaschi on November 27
When will the updates get loud again?
Creator Josh Blick on November 13, 2012
It might be asinine but it's the truth. Projects will be late. This is a brand new IP that is designed by one person. It doesn't matter if it's one year late I'll take a polished product over a piece of garbage. Quantum was the first thing I backed here on KS. Since then I've backed 40 other projects. Just about every single one has been late. So what they launched a second KS, it was a business decision. It failed to pan out so now they're changing the plan on what to do. But again, I reiterate...if you're going to worry don't use kickstarter. This is not a store. If your interested in the project just follow it and get the product when it releases. If you do that then there is no cause to worry.
Creator Magentawolf on November 12, 2012
Well, to be honest, I just couldn't in good faith support a second project while this one was still outstanding.
Creator Joshua Frost on November 12, 2012
Hey Robby,
I admit I've gotten quiet as of late. I tried to address that with today's update. Updates will get loud again—right now we're pushing hard to the finish line.
There is no "they" here. There's just me. I have contractors and other help, but this is for all intents and purposes a one man operation. I was sincere in my mea culpa post in September. In fact, I strive to be as sincere as possible always.
We gave reasons for launching the AC KS. Do I regret pulling that trigger? Absolutely.
I'm not sure where you're seeing me being snippy and defensive. If I've done that, I sincerely apologize. It's difficult to apply emotion to the words you read online. If you never buy anything from my company, Robby, I'll have to live with that but I won't like it. Nothing with this project has gone exactly the way I planned, but if I've learned anything about the hobby industry after all this time it's that things rarely go to plan and it's good to have backup plans. We're on backup #2, I think. ;-)
The game progresses. It's coming. If I'd released it "on time" it wouldn't been a pile of garbage. It's not that now. Hang in there, Robby. It's coming.
And I mean this as sincerely as I can assure you in written form: my intentions when explaining myself are never to be snippy or defensive and it sincerely bothers me that I may have portrayed myself that way. You folks are why this game is happening. I appreciate it and I respect you (even the very vocal minority).
You're going to get the best game I can produce. I promise that.
-Josh
Creator Robby Anderson on November 11, 2012
@Josh Blick - that is an asinine sentiment. When a project is (way) late like this, transparency is the key. I've noticed a number of projects that get later and later ... and quieter and quieter. Sadly, Frost & Co have fallen into this trap, and in fact have gotten fairly defensive and snippy, despite their mea culpa/move the cheese post in September (months after their project was due). Plus they launched a second KS before even fulfilling the first! I certainly pay attention to details like that and file them away for future use, and this will most certainly be the only time I support a project by these guys - and I've supported some 35+ projects. (And likely, unless Quantum really blows my socks off, won't ever buy anything from them, either.) Even for crowdfunding, customer service and PR matter. A lot.

Okay, so we won't ask about the timeline or a delivery estimate anymore... But it would be nice to know how much of the final content is already done... 40%? 60%? How many chapters are ready?

If you're worried then stop using kickstarter.

Any news? No updates since September 27. Starting to get a little (read: a lot) worried here.

So did the Beta get released as planned on the 15th?
Creator Chris Smith on July 5, 2012
Great to see an update! Looking forward to the Beta!
