"Venexiana Dark" by Lotrek: Funding(funded) on KS!

[Eoghann]

I think Sharpie said it a long time ago, that every time I posted something, he always pictured me saying it with a stupid grin like the one on my avatar. SO I guess that's a good rule of thumb to go by. I wasn't sulking.

Either way I meant it, I don't mean to sound demanding and stuff, I just do it to help out.

Now that you've got the cardists extremely well represented, time for another court that represents us entitled, whiny and judgmental folks.

Hi Lotrek!
I agree with you to use the AoC, AoD, AoH like connection with the other version of Venexiana, so maybe we can see a new Queen of Spades

[Lotrek]

Hi Paron,

Yes, the QoS will be different. I see you came with your gondola...

<- My excited face.

[Lotrek]

Bup, bup, bup, bup...

[chach]

The 4 deck early bird, is that 4 ltd edition decks I assume like the other early birds?

[badpete69]

the pledges dont seem to be working right now

[th4mo]

Amount You can pledge a minimum of USD2 and a maximum of USD1

Well that is fcuking brilliant....

[HebrewHammer]

Horrible

[Paron]

What about shipping outside US?

[Lotrek]

All shipping and handling costs are automatically calculated depending on where you want the rewards delivered.

[framegod]

Did they make sure it worked before they launched it?????

[chach]

Here I thought it was betatested... who were the beta testers? I want to know now!! *sharpening my pitchfork, lighting my torch*

[HebrewHammer]

$12 shipping?!!!!

[rjtomlinson1977]

$12 shipping?!!!!

That was my reaction too. I was all over that early bird until it wanted to charge me an extra $12 Must be hand delivered.

[Eoghann]

I don't think it's calibrated properly is all. I was under the impression the shipping automatically adjustrd according to the tier. So far it's staying the same. I doubt (and hope) that's the situation.

[Paron]

I'm missing some explanation about this project. If I pledge 2 or 4 L.E. decks what happen with the stretch goals? I get 2 or 4 unlimited decks for free without additional shipping cost?

[volantangel]

The tuckbox is absolutely gorgeous, will definitely get some to just be displayed

[Eoghann]

Just to be sure I know what's going on. Let's say I pledge for half a brick of LEs...will that turn into a split half brick once we reach the stretch goal? Wanna make sure I do it right the first time. Since this is uncharted territory with this new system.

[Lotrek]

First of all, this $12 for shipping must be a joke!

Second, as the rewards are flexible and you can choose multiple rewards, you can also change rewards. So if we reach the stretch goal I'll add rewards having combination of decks and you may choose these instead of the rewards initially selected.

Haha dont worry, we are getting it fixed

It looks to me as though CardLauncher is down. Or at least reset to the prelaunch "sign up to be notified before lauch day" welcome screen. Are the rest of you seeing that, too? Or is it just a filter to keep me out?

Apparently Venexiana is launching at 6pm EST today.

[Eoghann]

6PM EST? I thought it would launch when Cardlauncher was up and running at noon today (12PM EST)? Where'd you get the 6PM from?

New email just sent out. It's to give the programmers enough time to fix errors.

[SpecialK]

Staged Venexiana Dark at 6PM, rest at 9PM EDT

Mea Culpa, apologies and relaunch plans

Last night was a disaster, we had problems with PayPal, WePay, S&H problems, incorrect campaign setups and router issues on the Internet last night, software vendors had left for the night.

WePay: fixed, routers on the Internet ("BGP errors") fixed, S&H issues fixed, certain issues have to be resolved by the vendor. They are in Salt Lake City, it's only 7:30AM there.

We are moving the launch to 6PM NYC/Eastern, if everything works as it should everything else launches at 9PM. I know that's not optimal, but frankly there is no optimal solution. We have to do this with the vendor in the office. WePay was sporadic all day yesterday, that's fixed. PayPal issues with routing caused processing to fail. Routers are all 100% so that should be working as well.

We honestly tested every single aspect of this for more than 6 weeks, but the comedy of errors caused us to fall on our sword.

See you at 6PM to launch Venexiana Dark, 9PM for the rest.

I'd be a little annoyed if I were the other creators...little thunder stealing. But I think most of the hype was for Venexiana anyways.
