You've got a lot of great designs there, but you can't please everyone.

I think you have to commit now and launch. I'm sure the people will back your commitment.

I'll back too...as I did on your last.

Sure! I don't try it now and never did in the past. I'll launch when I am ready. Regardless of everything, KS fulfillment date will be set to February! I'll better deliver earlier.

Do not print standard decks! Print ONLY foil. Foil the HELL out of ALL of them!

Questions #3 and #4 were the most important in this survey. Nobody prints such decks, so why not? It's still possible.

I'll repeat my question - please give me a good example of a deck similar to NEO:WAVE Ultra in terms of use of foil (both sides, CMYK over foil). We need more references! I am blind when I design such deck as colors are completely different when you print on top of silver foil. I am even thinking of printing a color test card in this deck

Been very busy at work and home with relatives visiting. So finally caught up with this and completed the survey. Sad that's after 2 days, it's only at 42 people completing the survey after all the discussions.

Anyway, estimated launch date still Sept ?

Jackson recently printed Invocation and on his foil version did some opaque white over foil. The foil bled through. I have a sample card and I like the effect. It is glittery and sparkles when light catches it. I don’t know of any others printing CMYK over silver foil except you and now Jackson.

Make up your mind and get this project launched already.

It’s going to be 2020 and ready for next year’s design.

This.

Alex, we all know you're going to do what YOU want to do. And you should. Putting up a survey with obviously leading questions isn't going to change anything

It's interesting, but when I produced Tiki, I used paper as a white color for better contrast. I am aware of one deck at this moment with colors over foil both sides- https://www.instagram.com/somniumcards/ Another deck is Implicit V2 with foil on backs only. I am talking about decks, available to the public.

I am working on KS page now and will try to submit it for approval today.

Not really.

Yeah, I'd be down for a color test, myself

Why do people care so much about even the possibility that this deck could show up in our hands in early 2020? "It ruins the series!" It really wouldn't... Like of course it would be nice to get the 2019 deck in 2019, but does it actually make any difference in the long run?

(No.)

I agree in this case. I am new to the forum as of January of this year, so I wasn't aware there was a UC deck at all. I backed Rick's campaign thinking the deck looked cool, then I didn't find out until fulfillment completed this was a UC deck. Talk about worth the wait! I have no doubt in my mind Alex's deck will be worth the wait as well, even if this carries over into 2020. Renders for UC No. 7 look fantastic and I am a patient guy. I've backed a lot of KS campaigns. If it happens late? No big deal. As long as it happens.

The project approved by Kickstarter! so I can launch anytime. But it does not mean that everything is sorted out!

Please don't ask to post a preview link. I'll do it if I am ready.
Current status:

1. I finally updated all Kings and added beards to make Jacks younger and different
2. Classic box, weapons, and hands - WIP (almost done)
3. I'll launch without QoH or JoH and ad cards
4. AoS should be standard, but we have the custom AoD instead

I was a little confused by the survey as well. I'm not a foil junkie but if you can produce 3 foiled decks for the same cost (to me) as a foil and 2 non-foil decks, I'll definitely go for the foil. I don't care how many of each are produced just how much it is going to cost me (I'm selfish that way). $50 US for 3 decks is very reasonable and if they are all foiled it seems like more value for money. Either way, for that price I'm in.

Please follow this link to get notified!

It's not a preview, but a pre-launch page. I hope I'll be ready to launch on Sep/24

UPDATED from 07:09 to 07:07 NZST

So that will be 8:09pm for London (GMT).

Just to confirm - the title of this thread shows Sep/24. But your converter shows Sep 25 for NZST time. So for the date on the title of this thread, the 24th, corresponds to the USA/europe date, not New Zealand?

EB will be timed or limited? It's 307am for us in the Far East Perhaps a 12 hr timed EB?

Yes, 8:07 PM for London (minutes updated)

Yes, it's Sep/24 for USA/EU and Sep/25 for AU/NZ/Asia

EB will be active at least 12 hours, maybe more. No rush. But I have an idea to limit the Classic Edition. That's why I recommend reserving decks in the first days.

Also, I'll probably launch without limits, but I have some numbers in mind.

Oh man. I have to travel for work for the first time in two years and my flight is from 11AM-2PM PST on Tuesday.

Australian backers get screwed over by timezones again I see. Guess unless it's a 24hr EB I won't be getting one.

There are very few folks I will get up for at 4.30-odd-am

It's true , but there is no reason to wake up at 4 am as Early Birds will be active at least the first 12 hours.

I hope to launch today, in ~3-3.5 hours

As you'll see it anyway on KS, I'll show you one of the Jacks.

Back to work

Trackers will go live in about an hour, also inserted in OP.

Let's go with the flow, being caught flat-footed and having been on the road for the last 24 hours...

I didn't intend to relearn MailChimp today, but I am working on it. Launch is in about 90 minutes.

I'll admit I haven't been keeping up to date with this deck.

So what was the final decision - 3 Decks all foiled??
And which deck is the "Classic" Deck? - I'm presuming it's the one that isn't borderless!

Correct! All three decks! But the Purple deck is a stretch goal.

Sorry, there is no preview link. I am too busy.

Please no rush. I listed EB only, they will be available while I sleep ... at least 12-24 hours.

I am sorry!!! I need one hour to finish 3D images (problems )!!!

There is 1 hour delay! It will be launched at 08:07 NZST vs 07:07 NZST (current time: 06:57 NZST)

p.s. hardware problems on my server - lost time to replace the video card (fixed) I cannot render images on a laptop

Please launch then, even if you need graphics fixes. I caught the MailChimp in time, but in 53 minutes you will have a lot of people knocking on the door.
