Update #21: Artwork Update, Delay, and Funded...
Here is some more artwork from Josh. This time, we are looking at the back of the movement cards for each team. You will find it at the end of this post.
Delay
Also, it unfortunately looks like the delivery of Kings of Air and Steam will be delayed to at least August. This is due to some unexpected delays on the artwork for the game.
Funded Another Game
On the good news front for TMG, we posted a new game, Ground Floor, on Kickstarter on Tuesday. It fully funded the $15,000 we were looking for in less than 3 full days.
In case you are wondering, the artwork for Ground Floor is 100% completed.
Update #20: Some Character Artwork...
It has been awhile since the last artwork reveal. Things are humming along well, and we look forward to getting this game to you in the near future. (Yes, still a July estimate).

The answer is probably going to be 5. He had 3, but I believe we're upping it to 5. I believe we decided that every character who has tokens will have 5 tokens, and I think that should help the punchboard situation. Plus, he needed more than 3 anyway. I wouldn't say all that in the reply though, just say "He gets 5 Swindle tokens."
And no, he cannot get more. He has 5 for the whole game.

speaking of punchboards, are they going to be glossy like belfort or more matte?

Looking very nice! Not to pick nits, but is it too late to adjust the kerning on the 'wn' pairing? On 'Bown Town' It looks a bit like 'Bow n Tow n'

Hey, it's been about a month... what's the news? We were just talking about KoA&S at our FLGS Friday night... we're not the only backers ready to have it NOW! :-)

Update #18: Artwork Update...
The artwork for Kings of Air and Steam continues to come in and it looks like we are right on schedule still.
The array of movement cards for the game is below, enjoy! I especially like how the further you move, the more light is on the card. I thought that addition by our artist Josh Cappel is phenomenal.
Update #17: Artwork On Track, and For The Win
I spoke with the artist, and we are on track for final artwork delivery at our required time. So the project seems to continue to be on track for a July 2012 delivery at this time.
Right now, I do not have any additional artwork to show, but more will be coming later.
Also, we have a new project on Kickstarter, For The Win. It is a tile-laying abstract strategy game for 2 players which plays in as little as 10 minutes. There are 102 remaining "Pay What You Want" slots with a $10 minimum. Almost 600 slots have sold out in a little over 24 hours.
Cheers,
Michael

Very nice art. I really like the style and think it fits the theme beautifully.
@Tony - I hope so.
@Andrew & Geoff - I am glad you like the artwork!
NICE. Sad about delay but broad game production is a complex project and I am never surprised to see delays. Only surprised to not see them.
