Manufacturing Update (December 27)
over 7 years ago – Thu, Dec 27, 2018 at 04:13:44 PM

Hey everyone!

Hope everyone has had a great holiday season and we just wanted to give you a quick update on how things are going. Not a whole lot has changed but we want to keep y’all in the loop.  

The new graphic designs are coming right along and should be completed by the end of January. Once these are completed, we will update everyone on the manufacturing time frame. When we get closer to shipping, we will reopen Backerkit for addresses.  

As of right now, we estimate shipping at the end of March. However, because of manufacturing overseas some time delays are possible, but when we know, you’ll know!

Thanks for your continuing support and patience,

Manufacturing Update (December 19)
over 7 years ago – Wed, Dec 19, 2018 at 12:56:33 PM

Hey everyone!  


First off, we want to let you know that Screech Dragon Studios has acquired Vile Genius Games and this is why you haven't heard anything about this amazing game in a few months. All projects will be fulfilled and completed in due time. So now we're here now to give you an update on the goings on!  

The new graphic designs are in the works and should be completed by the end of January. Once these are completed, we will update everyone on the manufacturing time frame. When we get closer to shipping, we will reopen Backerkit for addresses.   

As of right now, we estimate shipping at the end of March. However, because of manufacturing overseas some time delays are possible, but when we know, you’ll know! 

We hope everyone has a terrific holiday season,

Game production update.
over 7 years ago – Wed, Sep 12, 2018 at 12:36:05 PM

We are here to give an update on Tales from the Taverns. Right now we are in the process of breaking the game in half into two separate games that can play 5 players each, and can combine into one large 10 player game. We are finishing up that graphic design within the next week or we will have an update on that status on Sep 25th. We want this game out and to backers as quick as possible. Unfortunately we failed you on that promise. 

Please bare with us as we move past the challenges that have hit us since this project went live. We will do a better job in communicating with you in the future and hope you understand we are trying to fulfill this game.


The updates to the backers have been severely lacking. There are a couple of reasons for this some personal (medical emergencies with myself, mother, and son), outstanding damage from Hurricane Irma that has not been paid for by insurance, and to a recent incident where a power line struck my home severely damaging all of my electronics in my home on August 12.

For some reason we are not getting messages from Kickstarter to our main email address. Unfortunately we have not responded to direct answers quickly because we simply missed them. Moving forward that will change. The best way to reach out to us will be at [email protected]

We are planning currently to give weekly updates on Mondays about the status of the project. and hopefully Thwarted will be into manufacturing by the end of the month. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Production update graphic design
almost 8 years ago – Mon, Jun 04, 2018 at 07:03:49 PM

Per our last update we wanted to give a status update of Tales from the Taverns. 

Currently we are working on a new graphic design layout and we will be splitting the game into two separate games. As a kickstarter backer you will get both games for backing this campaign. 

We decided to have some fun and use a famous red versus blue idea. 

 Our graphic designer is currently unavailable until after June 18th but once he is back we will do some updates with the new card layouts and candle cards. Once everything is done we will be updating with more images and time frames. We hope to have games in backers hands by no later then the end of September. 

We are sorry about the delay in the campaign but we had to make sure the game works right and can be fulfilled. 

Thank you for you continued patience,
The Vile Genius Games Team,

Production update
almost 8 years ago – Tue, Apr 03, 2018 at 08:01:26 PM

We have some good news about the production of Tales from the Taverns. We have finished play testing the new version of Tales from the Taverns and we came up with the best version of the game to date. 

We have made the game smaller from 10 players down to 5 players. We changed the story lines from 4 down to 2 story lines. We have turned one game into two games: Tales from the Taverns: Legends of Goblins Past and Tales from the Taverns: Legends of Goblins Past Encore! This greatly improved the play time and game play. We also made some slight rules changes to ensure that story lines can be be completed and the cards cycle faster. 

What does it mean for the backers? Well all of the backers will be getting both games. Everything in the kickstarter will be fulfilled to backers. We have to work out some new art and fix some graphic design work for the cards. The good news is that we should have this completed by the end of the month to get the game into production with our factory. Hopefully we can start fulfilling the games in 90 days. 

Thank you for your patience on this project,
Mark
