We are getting into the final stretch of production. We just got back from Gen Con and we are filtering through emails. At this time there are 6 people who have not filled out their Backerkit survey. Please be sure to do so.
We are 1 week away from the cut off to change your address. Please be sure to log into Backerkit to confirm your address. On 8/28 we will lock down all responses and ship out to those addresses we have.
I hope to have some pictures soon of the actual games being loaded into boxes, and the eta on fulfillment and product being delivered to us stateside. We are finally going to start getting this game into backers hands.

Thwarted is currently in production at the factory. We are about 40 days away from having the base game, expansion pack, and promo packs sent out to all backers. At this time we are asking for any address changes needed to be updated through backerkit.
Once the base game is finished manufacturing the game will be sent from China to backers directly to speed up receiving the game for everyone. Like the rest of you we have been waiting impatiently for the game to be completed and in our hands.
We appreciate everyone's patience why we get this game produced and into your hands.
Thank you,
Mark
Production update 11

We received the final production samples yesterday. After going through the samples we found there was some issues with the Deluxe Box and Platinum edition boxes that would require going through the sample process all over again. This is not something we wanted to have happen at this stage of the production.
Since the Base Game, Power Pack Expansion and the Promo Packs are all good to go, we have placed an order of each item to be manufactured and sent out. While we go back over the samples for the deluxe box, and the Platinum edition boxes to resolve the errors.
What does it mean for you?
If you have pledged to get the Platinum Edition, Deluxe Game, or the Become a Villain tiers, or if you have upgraded to any of these tiers in Backer Kit, you will be getting an extra copy of the base game, promo pack, and power pack expansion for free. We are going to ship these out in wave 1 shipping, and when the deluxe box, Platinum edition, and become a villain versions are ready be sent out those rewards as well.
We are just as frustrated as you are that this game has not arrived yet. However we do not want to have everyone wait to play this game. Everyone here at Vile Genius Games hopes that you understand the delays, and appreciate that we are trying to make this right and get the games into your hands as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time and support,
Mark
Profile name change

Hello backers,
For the better part of 3 years now this Kickstarter profile has used my personal name Mark Sierens. However since I will be running for Mayor of the Town of Davie, the Florida Elections Commission has given me an opinion that I cannot continue to use Kickstarter to raise funds for any projects that use my personal name. Since this profile is using my personal name the ruling for the FEC is that it could appear that people pledging could be attempting to pledge to my campaign over the legal limits allowed.
After talking with the FEC, my lawyer, and Kickstarter, it was decided that the profile name will be changed to Vile Genius Games.
Since this is the Kickstarter we use for the company to get our games funded, this was a great compromise and easy to transition to. Nothing will change in regards to your pledges, rewards, or how we service our backers. The only thing that will change is instead of backing Mark Sierens, the name will be Vile Genius Games.
Thank you for your time,
Mark Sierens
CEO Vile Genius Games.

Our final production samples have been sent out today for final approval. Baring any issues this is the last step to get the games into full production. Once production is completed we will be shipping out units to backers ASAP. Sorry for the delays in production we are actively working on getting this game fulfilled. Thank you for your patience.
