TOS Update - A look at some Cult
about 7 years ago – Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 12:15:40 AM

Hey everyone,

Just a couple of short updates for this week.

First, we are going to be at Adepticon this weekend. If you are there, stop on by and say hello! We'll have various models there for you to check out with your own eyes, and I'll be running some short demos for people who are there. We hope to see you there.

Second, we have a look at some Stalking Portals for the Cult. These are production run models.

These are all the same sculpt for now, but there will be multiple sculpts in the final squad.

We're really excited to see more models come in and be able to show them off to you. Things are humming along!

Have a great day!

TOS Saturday Update
about 7 years ago – Sat, Mar 18, 2017 at 07:45:49 PM

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the late update this week!

Wyrd spent most of last week at the GAMA Trade Show in Las Vegas, and we had a chance to talk to stores about the upcoming release and show off some of the models.

It was a great show, and people were very impressed with the model quality. We showed off their quality and durability (I threw one or two against a wall), and we ran through numerous demos of the game. All in all, people were very impressed and excited to see this game come through.

This led to an uptick in stores who backed the project, as well as more individual backers through BackerKit. We expect more people to be coming in, too. Our current total is over $400,000! 

This hit another Stretch Goal, which will give Commander level and above backers another free Adjunct model, for a total 3 Adjuncts. These will provide more flexibility to players looking for a boost to their favorite Squads.

You can still do late pledges here: https://the-other-side.backerkit.com/

And don't forget that next week Wyrd will be at Adepticon! If you'll be there, stop by to chat about the game, check out some models, and/or get a demo in! We hope to see you there.

3/8/17 Other Side Update!
about 7 years ago – Wed, Mar 08, 2017 at 03:13:52 PM

Hey everyone,

Progress on The Other Side is continuing along, with manufacturing moving along. We also have some new progress on the overall total: we're now at over $394,000. Thanks to all new pledges, and to those who have increased their pledge totals in BackerKit!

Playtesting has been going well, with those who are weighing in providing some good insight into the game. The game seems to be on very solid footing with only small tweaks needed to keep the game on track, but we're going to leave testing open for awhile yet. If you're a backer, we'd love to have your help!

Last, but not least, some of the Wyrd team will be at GAMA Trade Show in Las Vegas next week. If you or anyone you know will be there, tell them to stop on by the Wyrd booth and say hello! We'd love to chat with you there.

That's it for now! Thanks again!

March 1st Update!
about 7 years ago – Wed, Mar 01, 2017 at 07:54:39 PM

Hey everyone,

A quick update for you this week!

First, our current total is just over $391,000, so we're not far from the next stretch goal! Remember that you can do late pledges, and all late pledges still add to our total for stretch goals.

Second, I wanted to show you some WIP bases. These are pretty close to final.

 Above are a few of the different sizes, just to give you an idea.

The underside of some bases, a look at some slots.

Finally:

You can see how much we've dropped the thickness of the base slots, which has allowed us to take the overall thickness of the bases down.

That's all for now, so we'll see you next week!

$375,000 Stretch Goal Unlocked!
about 7 years ago – Thu, Feb 23, 2017 at 10:47:31 PM

Hey everyone,

We're excited to announce that we've raised enough money in the pledge manager to his our next stretch goal! Our current total is just over $377,000! This means that we'll be adding a free model to Commander level and above pledges, based on which Allegiance(s) you've chosen:

  • Abyssinia - Rail Gunner
  • Cult of the Burning Man - Breachling
  • Gibbering Hordes - Egg Clutch
  • King's Empire - Motor Scout

This means that, at Commander level and above, you'll be getting all of the models listed below for a given Allegiance. You cannot swap any of these models.

  • Abyssinia - Prince Unathi, Lord of Steel, Dreadnought, 2x Mehal Sefari, Crow Runners, Basotho Cavalry, 2x Engineers, Rail Gunner
  • Cult of the Burning Man - Adeodatos, Fenton Brahms, Goryshche, 2x The Warped, Stalking Portals, Doomseekers, 2x Raving Madman, Breachling
  • Gibbering Hordes - Stormsiren, The Frenzy, Alpha Crawler, 2x Striped Skulkers, Karkinoi, Armored Whelks, 2x Morphling, Egg Clutch
  • King's Empire - Charles Edmonton, Margaret Belle, King's Hand, 2x Royal Rifle Corps, Infiltrators, Field Intelligence Corps, 2x Sharpshooter, Motor Scout

Additionally, it is my understanding that BackerKit has fixed the add on pledges so that you may now select the Allegiances you want. Please try again, and let us know if it's still a problem.

We'll continue to keep you updated about the progress toward stretch goals, as well as updates on production, etc. And remember, there's still time to join playtesting if you've backed and are interested.

Thanks for your continued support!
