Well it is not good news on the production update for Thwarted.
We were expecting to get an eproof and have a production sample in hand by now. Unfortunately this did not happen. We are hit with yet another production delay for the game.
We were promised by Dec 15th we would have an eproof to look at and approve. On Dec 16th we emailed again requesting a time frame of when we should get the eproof. We were told that we would get it by Dec 23rd. By the 26th we still did not receive it. After a heated email of where is the proof we finally got a response on Dec 30th:
Hi Mark,
As we mentioned to you, we are busy in doing current orders.
We do not accept orders before Chinese New Year.
We agreed your project can be done in March?
That’s why my graphic checked your files a bit late.
For text issue, please check enclosed photo with my comment.
Photo 1-1 & Photo 1-2:
That is the text we are looking for.
You see, the text is only in K for black.
When we remove the K layer, there is no text there.
Photo 2:
That is similar to what you are doing.
When we remove the K layer, the there is still CMY for the text.
That does not work for the print.
I had remind them that this deal was done back in October and no where near December and that should of had no effect on our files as we had provided them the files months ago.
We had to make the corrections and they were uploaded on Tuesday and we should have an eproof soon.
What this means for production is that we are not going to be done before the new year so we are now looking at March for delivery. We are sorry for the delay but we wanted to show our backers that we are actively working on publishing the game.
Thank you.

Hello all of you Super Villains out there,
As with any Kickstarter, no matter how well planned, can run into production delays. Unfortunately we have hit such a production delay. We were hoping to have everything completed and units to us by the end of December in time for the holidays, unfortunately we are going to miss that goal. A few issues arose with the files that led to a delay in getting the game printed yet. We are still waiting on the actual sample to ensure that it is up to the quality standards we expect before shipping them out to you.
What this means is that the game will be delayed for at least 1 month and we hope to have everything in house by the end of January beginning of February for our backers. We are sorry for the delay and we cannot wait to get the games into your hands quickly.
Thank you,
The Vile Genius Games Team.
While we wait here are the backer created cards.

Hurricane Matthew

For those who might not know Vile Genius Games is located in Davie Florida, which is located just west of Ft Lauderdale Florida. This leaves us in the outer path of Hurricane Matthew which is now a Cat 5 Hurricane. Even if the storm does not hit us directly we can still experience tropical storm conditions which could take out power and internet.
Because of this there might be some delays and lack of communication if the storm does hit. Please understand as we work through this that the storm might cause some issues but we expect them to be minor.
In the mean time we are working on getting production samples done and the final files approved before the storm hits.
In the mean time you can also check out our other project here:
