QuoteFrom the conversation I had with with someone unnamed at Prodos I can tell they will not do anything without a proper license and would do nothing to threaten said license.

Quote from: Manchu on Oct 12, 2013, 05:41:40 PM
Prodos has now explicitly stated they have the official license.

Can someone explain what this company's actually doing? What does "Miniatures Skirmish Game" mean?

Quote from: Mr. Domino on Oct 13, 2013, 03:48:53 PM
If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably going to be a standalone boxed game a la Space Hulk, possibly with some expansions for larger pieces like the power loader.

Ah, in that case not so much Space Hulk as Space Crusade, with the Aliens replacing the hobgoblins; can't hit shit and die in droves.

By that metric, he didn't have a choice in making them cannon-fodder either (since they were in the Verheiden comic as well), so dinging him for that portrayal is a little disingenuous.

True, but then you read his thoughts on the stuff later and he really doesn't give the Aliens much credit anyway.

Found this photo of the minature prototypes! Doesn't seem like this was shared yet but.. here you go!

Anyone know where they sell the Prodos brand games in the States? Normally, I don't collect these things or play them but considering that this is essentially something AvP related, I am willing to get into something like this.

Is the first Pred already blowing himself up?

Quote from: Xenomrph on Oct 26, 2013, 11:37:14 PM
To be fair there's likely design limitations given the scale they're working in. The old AvP Horrorclix minis had similar problems with the Alien tails, because if you make them too skinny they'd be mega-fragile, and it's also hard to capture good details on something that tiny.

FINALLY! I'm so excited to see a table-top AvP miniatures game. I'll finally have actual Alien, Predator and Marine miniatures to use for my RPG games I run with friends.

Judging from the round-lip bases, the scale is in line with Warmachine/Hordes, Malifaux style wargaming. I hope the game play will be good at least. The minis look great so far. Loving them. Ready to see a Queen on a 120mm base or some vehicles like the APC and Dropship.

I certainly plan on contributing if it's on Kickstarter. It'll be my first one too.

I'm gonna be having a chat with one of the guys over there tomorrow. Will see what I can find out.

Any chance you can (gently) press them for info on whether or not we'll be seeing any Giger or Winston Aliens? I asked them on another forum and all I could get was that the ADI one is (apparently) referred to as an "Infant Warrior".

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Oct 28, 2013, 10:15:47 PM
Well I just got off the phone with one of the guys at Prodos gaming. Here is what we spoke about  -

The initial release will be before the end of 2013.They're looking at an initial expansion wave of up to a dozen new models in the first quarter (I think he said quarter) of 2014.

It'll be a boxed release very similar to Space Hulk. It'll be with a board and you'll be able to play it in a spaceship environment but there's also plenty of potential to do big battles on general terrain ala Warhammer.

They've got the license for the Alien/vs/Predator movies and the EU so we'll be seeing plenty of variants of the Aliens, Predators and Marines. If it's cool and people want to see, Prodos will probably be making it. So there's potential for vehicles (Powerloader and APC anyone?!)

No license for Prometheus.

It'll be story driven with a rulebook to come out so it'll be scenario based. The events of the game itself are set between Alien and Aliens.

It can be played solo or multiplayer. It's based on the same game mechanics engine as the other Prodos game Warzone Resurrected.

They'll be Prodos sanctioned events/tournaments. They'll be at the game conventions and I believe he said they'll do an inaugural event to celebrate the release but the signal started to falter there.

They'll be named characters/units for you to use.

A lot of information will be released in the next 5 or 6 days via their Facebook page including the price of the set. I'll be popping down to meet the guys to play the game in the next 3 or so weeks so I'll have an impressions article done for you guys.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know and I'll be in touch with Prodos to get your questions answered ASAP.

They'll be different variants from the movies and EU - including one of the Aliens from the old AvP Arcade Game. Wouldn't say which one though.

I for one want all of it. As someone who has been a table-top war gamer for a long time, this is something that I've wished and wanted for since forever lol.

Someone asked if they'd be pre-painted or not, my guess is that it falls in line with just about every other table-top war game and no, unpainted. But that's my guess. Which is good, then you can paint them how you want them to be. I'm eager to see the price point for some of this stuff though. I just hope to everything that is holy that it won't be like 40k and everything super expensive.

I just hope to everything that is holy that it won't be like 40k and everything super expensive.

I'm in pretty much the same boat as you, in fact the only reason I ever got into 40k was that Tyranids looked so similar to Aliens, and that kicked off the rest of my gaming.
14 years later, here we are with this and I'm rounding up the majority of my GW stuff to sell off, I'd just much rather have this stuff, regardless of which Aliens we end up with (although with the ongoing confusion around the "Infant Warrior", I am hoping we at least get true-to-source Cameraliens).

As for painting and price: I really, really hope they come unpainted. Cast in different coloured plastic maybe, but unpainted/un-assembled is going to be the best for me personally, although I do wonder how many people would say to themselves, "wait... you have to build them and paint them? f**k that noise!" and put the box back on the shelf.

Pricing is difficult, but I kinda see this being on-par with GW starter box pricing. That's not as bad as you'd think though - if you compare 40k/fantasy to most other wargames, the individual models (apart from heroes) aren't any more expensive than other games, and can sometimes be much cheaper than say, Infinity or Malifaux. It's the fact that you need over 9000 models and several hardcover rulebooks to play a game that's the issue. Since this seems to be based around cards, I assume the startup cost to get into this will be comparatively low, hopefully with the core rules included in the "big box".

umm yeah, that's the assumption at least, 90% of competitive miniature table top games come unpainted so you can do it yourself and how you want it done (WH40k, Warmachine, Hordes, MERCS, Malifaux, Dropzone Commander, WHF, etc.)

I for one don't want them to come prepainted because they'll probably look like crap, ever see the Heroclix and Horrorclix stuff. *shudders*

That is about right ;]

To be more specific we WILL have at leas one model from following sources:

Alien from Alien - Infant Warrior

Um, that's what they're calling the "infant warrior".

That's ... that's not Alien, guys.

[CANCERBLACK] quoted the post above. They said the "infant" warrior would be from Alien, but the "infant" warrior is clearly from AvP.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Nov 09, 2013, 06:32:27 PM
Can't say I'm a fan of the Predalien - but I understand they'll be lots of different variants so I'm sure we'll be seeing Cameraliens.

I've pledged £75 to start with but I'll probably up it towards payday.

And how awesome does this look???

You know, SpreadEagle, I don't think a single person on this forum has vacillated quite as often between eloquently explaining why other people shouldn't tell you what is and isn't valid in your own personal viewpoint on the franchise, and abrasively telling everyone that the things they like are obviously garbage.

Quote from: SpreadEagleBeagle on Nov 10, 2013, 11:57:20 PM

Whoa! Where did that come from?

I know that I'm vocal about things (and sometimes sound rather abrasive) but no more than other people on these forums. Don't know why I deserve that stamp when there are people here who are way more frequent way more on it. I guess I rubbed you the wrong way. If that's the case then I'm sorry.

I never forced my view on anyone, I just protest quite loudly when the "Everything is canon" mob run the threads (...yes, I'm childish in that way).

And btw. I'm not the only one around here who thinks that Steve Perry isn't that great and should stay away from Aliens since he has no love for them at all.

Quote from: Mr. Domino link=topic=49242.msg1804661#msg1804661 date
wasn't meant as quite as much of a slam as I think you took it - there's a lot of people here who are always insensitive and disrespectful of others' opinions, and those people I can just safely disregard - but you, a lot of times, make posts that make me sit up and take note, particularly a lot of your thoughts on Alien 3. Those times, you're well-spoken, eloquent, and generally respectful. You're part of the reason I've come to like that film as much as I have. Conversely, though, any time there's an "everything is canon" thread, or someone mentions Steve Perry, or anything else you're not fond of, you tend to add your input in a somewhat less scholarly manner. I've found it disappointing when it's happened, and decided to make note of it here. Make of that what you will.

QuoteAs for the new close-up shots of the models, saw those on Facebook a few minutes ago. Very happy with them. I would, of course, be more happy with a more accurate runner, but it's worth remembering that these are 28mm. A little green stuff will go a long way towards making me happy with them so long as I'm not using a magnifying glass. The marine and Predator look outstanding. Here's hoping the helmet on the marine is a separate piece, as I intend to buy multiple squads, and I'd like to have as little clonage as possible.

Quote from: Mr. Domino on Nov 11, 2013, 05:20:39 PM
Yep, you'll be responsible for painting and assembly (or rather, you GET to assemble and paint them!) - these minis are like tiny model kits.

As far as what the figures will look like, there are two kinds of shots Prodos has put up - CG renders and actual model shots. The most recent one labelled "Procast" at the top was an actual model shot, to give you an idea of the difference between the two. As an avid wargamer, I can tell you that in terms of sheer technical proficiency, the sculpting on these models compares very favorably to most of what's currently available from other companies.

Now, for painting and such - it's not necessarily for everybody, but it's for a lot more people than think it's for them. I've had a lot of people tell me they don't think they have the patience, or the skill, or their hands are too shaky, or whatever, but take it from a complete stranger on the internet who claims to know what he's talking about - it's all smoke and mirrors. I have very shaky hands, certainly not much skill, and I only started seriously painting about a year ago, so I don't have a ton of experience, and yet this is my most recent Warhammer project:

There's a few very simple techniques you can learn from anyone who knows what they're doing, and/or from online tutorials that can get you going with a bare minimum of trial and error. Of course, as with all things, there's no substitute for experience, but the only way to get that is just to dive in.

Quote from: Mr. Domino on Nov 13, 2013, 04:22:12 PM
That's not a final render, though. The Warriors, Hellhounds, Praetorians, and Sentry Guns are all PSed images taken from other sources (The Sentry Guns are the in-game model from CM, and the others are action figures). They weren't expecting to go so far so quickly, and are scrambling to get renders up of as much as possible.

Quote from: RiTides on Nov 13, 2013, 09:36:39 PM
Hey guys,

I have pledged for this campaign, but am after Aliens more than Predators. I was wondering if anyone might want to work out a swap for my 2 Kickstarter exclusive Berserker Predator models, in exchange for 2 PredAlien models?

The Berserker Predators hunt in 3's, after all, and you can only get 1 per pledge... so someone must need 3, and I need more PredAliens :)

Let me know!

Also, I'm hoping we'll see the actual sculpts of the Alien Warriors before the campaign is over, since they were an early stretch goal. Hopefully they'll look more like the Aliens from the original 2 movies :)

Quote from: Xenomrph on Nov 19, 2013, 02:58:56 PM
Yeah me neither. I mean I'm willing to give it a go and see what happens, but I'm also not exactly hopeful.

They could dig into the EU and make another faction if they wanted - the Leading Edge' Aliens RPG has a couple ready to go for them (the Harvesters, Arcturians).

Quote from: SiL on Nov 19, 2013, 10:22:13 PM
I'm less concerned about Perry being the writer as the makers not being able to tell the difference between the Alien and AvP designs. Shows a lot of love and attention to detail there.

I just hope their abilities are balanced well.

Quote from: SiL on Nov 19, 2013, 10:55:29 PM
They said the "Infant Warriors" are the Alien design and we've seen their Infant Warriors models. They're AvP.

Quote from: Xenomrph on Nov 20, 2013, 12:57:58 AM
I dunno, I think their Alien models look pretty slick so far, I'm looking forward to seeing what else they come up with.

I do agree that I'd rather see WY as a faction over "Stickman", but part of that is apprehension of what they'll do by creating the Stickman faction from whole cloth. They're going to be creating an entire (theoretically, fully formed and balanced) faction based on 1 creature that got 3 minutes of screen time.
I mean I kinda get why they'd roll WY in with Humans/Marines, because I imagine they wouldn't play that differently. But there's ways to make them play differently and give them special rules and equipment, similar to how Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines play differently in 40k despite technically being the same thing.

The whole Stickman faction thing reminds me of when the Starship Troopers miniatures game introduced the Skinnies as a playable faction, and the creators basically had to make up the faction from scratch because the source material (TV series and Heinlein book) didn't say a whole lot other than "they exist".

Been unlocked for a while I think. I'm interested to see who they put inside the Power Loader. My bet is a marine, since they've been iffy about civilians in general so far, not just named characters. Really hope we get to the free Praetorian stretch goal though, that thing rocks, and it'd free up money for more rank'n'file.

Not gonna lie, I really didn't expect them to hit 2000 backers.

I don't even know what I want at this point - they've given away so much free stuff as stretch goals and added on so many other new miniatures that I'm interested in, I'd have to go back over the KS page to figure out what I'm even getting at this point.

Quote from: [CANCERBLACK] on Dec 14, 2013, 01:12:31 AM
You're still (seemingly wilfully) missing my point and attacking one that I'm not making. My point is that taking something and arbitrarily sticking spikes on it is not good design. Especially when aliens are already pretty spikey. The "alien" elements of the design, such as the ribcage are spot on, but the exaggerated blades/spines, random spikes, completely inexplicable double tail blade and the use of literal dreadlocks make the design a bad one to my eyes. Get it yet?

Quote from: PRJ_since1990 on Dec 14, 2013, 01:32:25 AM

Also, anyone excited about the latest update?
"In other news, we have some pretty amazing news. We have been very kindly allowed to create versions of the characters 'Major Dutch Schaefer' and 'Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa' from the Alien vs Predator arcade game. These characters will be a first for the AvP Miniatures Game, as there have been no named characters as of yet. These two characters will fit into our timeline and story, both serving in the USCM. "

Quote from: Xenomrph on Dec 14, 2013, 11:26:12 PM
We knew they were going to do this from the start. From day-1 of the Kickstarter they said they were going to include EU stuff of all kinds.

And if you don't like it... don't buy it. :) The add-on minis are each sold separately. Buy what you like, skip what you don't.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 17, 2013, 08:11:43 AM
I quite like the inclusion of the arcade characters. Gives it some more charm.

Quote from: Arterial Spray on Dec 23, 2013, 08:41:08 AM
Given the team's reaction in the Q&A stream to being questioned as to the inclusion of a Royal facehugger, their use of random google searches for their 'concept' images, and the AvP & AvP:R looking sculpts being refered to as Alien & Aliens versions, I have the growing suspicion that the Prodos lads are not the biggest fans.

Still can't be as bad as A:CM. They cant stop you from customising and homeruling a miniatures game.

it does indeed look like they havn't done any research seeing their aliens and what they claim them to be. but the Preds have been accurate so far. i dont mind the avp aliens and the paintjob you give them can improve alot. if the game itself sucks i will just use the models for making custom rules for warhammer 40k.

Quote from: PRJ_since1990 on Jan 22, 2014, 05:45:50 PM
Oh man oh man. Lovin' everything that's coming out. I was being a stickler on the design for the warriors though. Last time I checked, there wasn't a full shot of the rendition of the Cameron Warriors. Are they going with that design (like I hope) or the AvPR style?

Back in November I attended a special open day for pledgers of Prodos Games’ Aliens vs. Predator – Miniature Game Kickstarter campaign. The game mechanics weren’t fully developed and only a small number of models were on show at the time but I had a blast!

“In the boardgame versions of the game, I witnessed Predators being downed by Aliens on all sides of him so the swarm mechanic doesn't leave the Aliens underpowered. Aliens also demonstrated nice defensive abilities that were supposed to emulate their agile nature by being able to completely ignore hits if certain numbers were rolled.”

You can read more of my impressions and a gallery of photos from the day in my preview article. I’m looking forward to seeing more of the game! As well as that I have also updated my review of Dark Horse’s Aliens vs. Predator Omnibus Volume 1. You can also see these and other articles in the articles section of the website.

Quote from: RakaiThwei on Apr 01, 2014, 09:20:22 PM
I have one question..

Can Berserker and assuming if other Super Predators are made, be considered their own faction or an enemy faction to the normal Predators? Especially considering the fact that they are seen as a renegade clan by the normal Predators.

QuotePredators are slightly different. Due to their tribal nature, they do not need to have leaders, but having one often presents an advantage which will affect the whole army. At the moment, the only example is a Predator Berserker, who can choose to take Predator Dogs as Troops, rather than their usual Support option, but affects the other Predators in its army due to leading them with an iron fist, rather than in the usual, honourable, Yautja manner.

On the topic of coming up with house rules - you would not believe how many people get really... weird about doing that. I modify pretty much every game I play but some people just cannot handle the idea, even if the rules are terrible and unbalanced to start with (see: 40k).

For what it's worth - I won first place at this event and placed first over the 6 month campaign. I'm now the proud owner of the grand-prize DS9.

They haven't won me over t'ill I see Giger's Alien.

But everything looks pretty fantastic otherwise.


I think I'll just pretend the AVP Aliens are A:R Clones as are any eventual AVP:R designed Warriors can be the Warrior-Clone equivalent.

QuoteThe stand-out stall for me, however, was Prodos Games - developers of the new Aliens vs Predator board game and war-game. I chatted with some of the team, and they were really open in terms of talking about the new game. There were several finished sculpts available for inspection.

Prodos were also showcasing some updated token sets and the board tiles. They explained that these had been redone, as they were unhappy with the originals. The examples at the show were really amazing; very detailed, very colourful. It's great to see a company listening to customers, and acting on criticism or advice. Overall, I'm really looking forward to the release of this game and feel confident it is in safe hands!

Yeah, that's one of the ones the Warzone people seem excited about.

Why wouldn't they?

They already described their AvP style drone as Gigers Alien in one of the interviews. That model may well have been aproved by Fox under that description.
Given everything to come out of the franchise lately has had digitigrade legs and no back horn, I strongly suspect that the official Fox standpoint is now that the AvP [movie] designs are official and the former arangement was purely a tec limitation.
Finally, in miniature form (its only a little taller than 28mm) the Giger alien would not be significantly different from the 'infant warrior' other than the tail, horn and lower legs, and as such might not be deemed cost effective to produce. You could always custom it.

Edit: In review I actually just realised that many of the minis (as opposed to the concept art) for the most part have plantigrade legs in dynamic posing, which is nice.

That Schaefer sculpt looks pretty bad-ass! Man, I can't wait to see Kurosawa!

On Saturday the 3rd of May Prodos Games was celebrating the release of their new Mutant Chronicles Warzone models with Titan Games and they also brought their finalized models from the upcoming Aliens vs Predator The Miniatures Game:

The Queen and the Power-Loader square up.

Gmorts Chaotica and Farsight Blogger were on hand to get us our best pictures of the final models from Prodos Games’ first wave for the game. A recent post of Prodos Games’ Facebook reveals that the game will soon be available for pre-order. Hopefully this means those of us who pledged to the Kickstarter will recieve our models soon.

Quote from: [CANCERBLACK] on Jul 27, 2014, 09:31:20 PM
Probably because there isn't an official retail release date yet. I can't see it being earlier than this time next year for that, and that's being pretty generous I feel.

Quote from: Darkness on Jul 28, 2014, 06:35:08 PM
I'm not even sure how you play it. So you go to those places on your own and play with complete strangers?

Is that from Titan?

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Sep 28, 2014, 06:03:30 PM
We're only at the point of the initial wave. There's still time for further versions of the Aliens to come out in the future. From what Prodos were telling me at their open evening, they're open to doing pretty much anything from the license as long as there is sufficient interest in the model.

Quote from: [CANCERBLACK] on Oct 01, 2014, 10:18:02 PM
I'm quite opposite, actually. I already have a thousand uses for the figures, and just want to get them and paint them up. The board game itself is just gunna wind up in "the pile" and be played rarely, unless the rules are spectacular.

Quote from: [CANCERBLACK] on Oct 03, 2014, 08:57:13 AM
1:56 seems to be the general consensus, although there's apparently a lot of debate on the subject.

They released the picture on their Facebook group for AvP.  :)

This is a message from Kickstarter's Integrity team. We're writing to inform you that a project you backed, Alien vs Predator The Miniatures Game, is the subject of an intellectual property dispute.
The law requires that we remove the project from public view until the dispute is resolved (please see our Copyright Policy and Trademark Policy for more info). Because the project already ended successfully, your pledge hasn't been affected. The creator should still be able to move forward with the project (and send any unfulfilled rewards). If you have any questions, though, you can still message the creator from the project page.

QuoteHello everyone. Sorry to cause panic. We (Prodos Games) have made a clerical error when cleaning up our Kickstarter maintenance page. If you go to up you will see that there are two un-started projects. We were hoping to get them deleted (just to tidy up our work space), but didn't convey our request clearly. As such the AvP website has been temporarily closed in error. We are working to get it back up. Hopefully it will return in all its glory within 24 hours. Sorry to panic everyone. (Just goes to show a tidy workspace isn't always the best thing)!

I wasn't overly worried about what's going on with all this, until statements like the spoilered conversation below started to appear. I can handle delays, I can handle being kept in the dark, but even the possibility that the whole shebang could be ruined by loudmouth keyboard warriors is f**king upsetting.

Spoiler

Quote from: Poster 1..then I have to ask you, as a backer, what do you want more? The freedom to express your concern or the product you supported? Because what if things are so bad right now, those two things are mutually exclusive?

Quote from: Poster 2Honestly, if given the choice I would take my freedom to express concern, even if it meant losing money.   I won't willingly support a company I don't trust or like, and anyone willing to censor my opinion and mislead me can get bent and fail for all I care.   My honor and integrity are worth far, far more than my pledge is worth, and being forced to keep quiet when I see something I don't like or understand, without being able to ask what I consider reasonable questions about it, does't work for me.

[close]

Quote from: [CANCERBLACK] on Dec 08, 2014, 07:48:10 PM
I take the opposing view, honesty and integrity (specifically in regards to the taking down of the KS page) don't even come into play when the guys involved have repeatedly said "We can't say anything just yet, but when we can, we will." This whole thing has nothing to do with honour, and everything to do with internet consumers being spoiled, impatient man-children.


Additionally, I'm prepared to admit that I over-reacted to the exchange I quoted, it just really got to me after a week (ish) of full on bitching and whining.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 08, 2014, 08:45:14 PM
I wish people were more mature about the whole thing.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 09, 2014, 10:02:45 AM
And I think people who play sports are men-children too. But doesn't mean we have to be immature jackasses about it. It has been explained ad nauseum why there are delays.

Quote from: Jarek EverHello backers, It's important for us to say that the Kickstarter page was initially removed by mistake, but now we have decided with Fox that it might be better to stay down until the product you have pre-ordered has shipped.
This is the same for our Facebook media and images that were uploaded there. From here on, we only want to share information about the final products you will be receiving, rather than work in progress imagery or text.
The project is almost finished, we are in the final stages of approval and therefore it will be ready to ship soon.
We are not able to give an approximate date for shipping at this stage, but as soon as the final elements of the project have been approved, we will calculate printing time, assembly time and shipping time and then share the final date with you.
Thank you for your continued patience,
PRODOS Games LTD

QuoteAs per official update, we have to wait until we have the product fully approved and ready to go to customers, this is the PD policy and we cannot do anything about it.

From my understanding, based on the issues with the Alien:Colonial marines, we cannot show any WIPs any more as if someone use these pictures for advertising it may be classified as "misleading customers".The product, until is ready to go, is subjects to changes. Lucky we have our models fully approved at proto stage, meaning that after the packaging approval (and Fluff) would have "product ready to go", so not far away from that.

Oh, of course, but I was wondering if on top of that, Fox was less trigger-happy with Prometheus than the older licenses.

Quote from: Visceral_Mass on Dec 17, 2014, 10:10:27 PM
Plus, I don't think Prometheus fits in all that well with what Prodos has going on. Especially with how keen they were on adding characters from the Capcom AVP game.

Quote from: [CANCERBLACK] on Dec 17, 2014, 07:04:16 PM
I wonder whether it's just that prommy is a separate license (so more $$$ to use it), or if Fox is being a tad cagey with it so there aren't a million things being retconned whenever Scott gets around to making the sequel?

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 18, 2014, 08:17:09 AM
They've said they've got everything, other than the named characters.

QuoteHello Everyone,
We are very busy behind the scenes getting AvP ready to ship, so as you can imagine Prodos Games have been very focused on that task. We know that communication has been lacking from us and for this we apologize.
We want to address a few points today for clarity sake.
Prodos Games still have the Aliens vs Predator license. There is no licensing dispute, Kickstarter will not let us choose to keep the page down unless it says there is. So this is why the page still states that there is a dispute.
We cannot set a specific release date, this has been requested by Fox until the product is fully approved and ready to be finally manufactured. We are not allowed to ship any components until the entire project has been approved. This is the nature of a licensed product we are working very hard to get everything finished.
We cannot offer refunds, as the project is a Kickstarter project and the nature of Kickstarter is that it funds the investment required to create the product. Accidents happen and they are currently being resolved. This is how Kickstarters work sometimes a project gets behind, we are behind, but will be fulfilling pledges as soon as we can.
Please be civil in your comments and questions, any aggressive comments will not be tolerated. We understand people are upset, but remain calm we are in the final stretch!
Prodos Games will endeavor to answer all questions whenever possible in 3-5 days from this point forward. I have been allocated to spend a large amount of my time to monitor and answer your questions on this page. We recognize that communication is very important. I can assure you that this will happen going forward and will answer what I can to the best of my ability; with that said sometimes we cannot share everything because something's are just out of our control.
Thanks
The Prodos Games Team

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jan 26, 2015, 08:37:45 AM
You know their communication isn't the greatest.   :P

I'll just be glad to start seeing shipping notices. I'm getting sick of the negativity, impatient and lack of understanding all over my feeds.

Quote from: Jarek Everthe team did fantastic work on proofing the rules and our graphic team managed to do all layout corrections as per the license owners request. The written (FINAL) content will be uploaded on Monday following "please review asap" email. We want this game to be available at the Salute 2015, and if we get the green light within 2 weeks time, it will happen (with pick up available at the Salute for backers, if we wont post it before 25th of April 2015).

QuoteHello All.
A short update...
We have resubmitted the rules doc for approval, after changing (as requested) the US English to UK English. We have also proofed in-house, picking up a few grammatical issues where they had previously been missed; then finally we have sent to a professional proofing company.
We are expecting the approval back reasonably quickly, to the extent that we are working to officially launch the product to the wider public at Salute 2015. We expect to get the first batch of KS product out at the same time!
As always we thank you for your ongoing support and patience as we complete the final mile of this project. We know it's been an unexpectedly long journey and we thank you all for enabling this dream to become a reality. The light at the end of the tunnel is bright and getting bigger by the day.
We will update again as soon as we have the approval...

Quote from: Prodos Games
Prodos Games Ltd says:

We are still striving to start shipping AvP by Salute, we are still waiting on that final approval. Two of three at Fox have signed it off and the third has made it clear that this is his top priority right now. So it might be just after Salute, if this happens we can only apologise for the further delay.

We invite you to come by and check out our stand at Salute, we will have something special on display. We can't say too much, but it's very exciting indeed!

We promise more news as we can share it and once again thank you all for your patience.

Finally, we hope you are all having a great 4 day weekend, celebrating Easter!

Thanks,
Prodos Games LTD

Quote from: [CANCERBLACK] on Apr 08, 2015, 06:48:18 PM
Hicks said something about making a sub-forum for the game once it's released, so if that's still the plan we can get a WIP thread going and encourage each other to finish stuff/post tips for speeding up processes etc.

Quote from: Lord-Naraku on May 13, 2015, 11:09:08 PM
Awesome. Why is the Crusher the only one not on a base? Pretty sweet terrain too.

QuoteHello and good day!

This week we have received the green light to start production of the Aliens vs Predator™: The Hunt Begins board game. The game is available for Pre-order on the Prodos Games webshop shop.prodosgames.com and will be dispatched on June 30th 2015.

AvP™: The Hunt Begins includes:

Models: - 10 Infant Aliens - 5 Stalker Aliens - 3 Predators - 5 Colonial Marines
Dice: 3 D20 Dice
Cards: - 2 Alien Stat Cards - 3 Predator Stat Cards - 5 Colonial Marine Stat Card - 20 Environmental Cards - 20 Mission Cards
- 60 Strategy Cards (20 for each Faction)
Board game Tiles: - 32 Straight Corridors - 8 Crossroads - 8 T-Shape - 8 L-Shape - 10 Dead-end - 8 Air Vent Tiles - 7 Rooms (Lab, Escape Capsule, Armoury, Bridge, Hibernation Room, Engine Room and Predator Pod)
Other Peripherals: - 1 Flame/Acid Spit Template - 151 Wound, Ping!, Activated, Sentry, Hide and Objective Tokens - 20 Door Pieces

... a lot, almost 6 kg (13 lbs) of goodies!

QuoteMorning all, here are a few answers to frequently asked questions from yesterday:

1. The Board game is in production as we speak, we should have 1st copies by Monday 25th, to go to FOX as a product reference. We have been assured that at that stage there is no "delay" or need for any approval, however the product must be examined and stored as a master copy. Any further changes to the product (if needed) will be done as a running change. For clarification : A running change is an alteration made to a toy in the middle of its production run, that can result in two distinct (in some way, often quite minor) toys, which are considered the "same toy" by the manufacturer, carrying the same wave identifier and (usually) the same internal product code.

2. The official, and confirmed release date of the board game is the 30th June (retail) AND 22th of June for KS backers. The KS release is subject to change (an EARLIER date may be possible if we can make point 3 below happen) and is only dependent on external company manufacturing capabilities. As always we will keep you updated. Most KS backers, depending on their location and/or delays with customs, should have their game before it hits and shop shelves.

3. We are trying to arrange with manufacturing and logistics if at all possible to have at least 50 copies for UK Games Expo, if this happens, collection will be available for those backers who would like to pick up their copy at the UK Games Expo, more info to follow.

4. Under the terms and conditions of the contract we are obligated to release the KS V1 boardgame (High quality resin miniatures) to retail. The plastic injection models are in the approval pipeline and we are aiming to have it approved in 4 to 6 months. (For clarification: resin to plastic changeover cannot be classified as a running change due to usage of different material for manufacturing and quality "degradation" of the product).

5. Add-ons: The Models are approved, and we are going to start working on Monday to get the packaging and cards green-lit as well. We have been assured that it won't be long process as the RULES (written material) for add-on models were approved with Main rulebook.

6. Customs: the Invoice for customs will reflect the "manufacturing" cost, as promised during the KS and not the retail cost. This may affect non-EU and non-USA backers.

7. USA backers: The very first copies of the game will be shipped to our USA dispatch centre, to reduce any delivery downtime, however, I won't be hiding the fact that your collogues in Europe may get the game few days or weeks before your copy reach your doorsteps. I can promises that we will do the best we can to reduce the downtime.

8. Also, for clarification: we have number of shops participating in the KS as well (a shop customers collective pledge), thus, in some cases you may see the product on the shelves before it reaches you. Please keep it calm, as we have promised the priority are backers.

9. Pledge manager changes and address update. By Friday we'll have an update for you with instruction how to do changes in the PM, postal address update and locking the PM. PLEASE make sure that you have done final alternations to your pledge, including the updated postal address by 31st of May. IT will affect the shipping date if the pledge manager is not locked. Please do not send emails to request that we update your postal address as we don't have capacity and capability to do it manually. All information will be available in a forthcoming update.

Wooo! Just got my shipping notice.

Quote'This is Rumour Control, here are the Facts' for Friday July 17, 2015:

First batch of approval of the second wave has come back to us today.

Alien Queen, Facehuggers, Alien Warriors, Alien Royal Guard, Predalien, Alien Crusher, Power Loader, Colonial Marines Sergeant, Weyland-Yutani Commandos, Sentry Guns, Female Predator, Linn Kurosawa (AvP Arcade), Dutch Schaefer (AvP Arcade), Predator Hellhound, Predator Berserker.

These are the pre-production versions. Production samples will be sent next week in full retail packaging to 20th Century Fox for approval of the models and packaging. The rest of the items have just been sent, at pre-production, for approval too.

All of Wave 2 will ship to Kickstarter backers before we sell anything to retail. At retail we will be releasing 1 or 2 items per faction every 2 months or so, so backers will get them all far before retailers have access to them. We think that this is the right way to treat this situation given what has recently happened with the boxed set. We have checked and this is perfectly fine.

Prodos Games LTD is proud to announce Ninja Division Publishing LLC as the North American publisher for Alien vs Predator: The Hunt Begins. Alien vs Predator will be joining Ninja Division Publishing's range of incredibly successful products including: Super Dungeon Explore, Ninja All-Stars, and Relic Knights.

There is also great news for North and South American Kickstarter backers, in that Ninja Division will be handling your Kickstarter shipments. They have kindly agreed to handle the Wave 1 fulfillment of the Alien vs Predator Kickstarter for those territories in one great big push during the month of August. This means that everyone will get their products at roughly the same time, rather than the staggered shipments which would occur with the fulfillment handled by Prodos Games direct. Wave 2 fulfillment is still planned to be shipped by Prodos Games direct, at a later date.

Ninja Division Publishing has also allowed a space for Prodos Games on their stand at GenCon 2015! Kickstarter backers can come to the booth to receive their copy of Alien vs Predator directly. We will also be answering questions and showing off some of the fantastic figures from the game. Please be advised that the game will not be available for general purchase. The available copies are only for Kickstarter backers. While we will bring as many copies as we can, the game will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. Any remaining copies at the end of GenCon will be sent back to the Ninja Division Publishing warehouse and shipped to other patiently waiting Kickstarter Backers that could not attend the event.

We are still shipping from Poland to all territories except for North America and South America. These will be handled by Ninja Division as stated previously.

We are still negotiating teaming with a UK distributor to get the UK shipments out at a faster rate.

We have increased our output to a guaranteed minimum 120 copies a day, we are in the process of ramping up.

This past week, almost our entire KS shipment capacity has been allocated to creating a bulk shipment to Ninja Division to fulfil Kickstarter shipments in North and South America at Gencon and following the event.

You may pick up pledges for your friends at Gencon, as long as you have a printed copy of their pledge manager.

We are not selling to retailers at the moment for 4-6 weeks, whilst we fulfil KS shipments. Obviously, we have the first batch that we are still working through simultaneously, but we know that taking more orders will be non-conducive to completing the KS in a fast and efficient way.

We are keen to move forwards in a positive light, we are aware of the issues, complaints and problems with this project so far and we are working to resolve them positively. We would once again like to stress that people are entitled to be upset by some of the actions made and that we hope we can provide support to those people and meet their expectations in the future.

Cheers,
Prodos Games LTD

Any word on a North American distribution release yet? I keep asking the distributor at my local game store but he doesn't know anything yet.

They sorted one recently and a bunch of stuff had been sent to that distributor. Should be soon. Ninja or something?

I think I saw an update saying Ninja had all the stuff now and was sending it out.

Finally found my rulebook - amongst my Star Trek Attack Wing stuff of all places - so yay!

Corporal, did you ever find out what happened to that Steve Perry short story earmarked for this?

Oh yes I saw that as well. Just being a little impatient lol. Although I must say, for the time this has taken and all the setbacks, I've been very patient and will continue to do so. Some on the Prodos forum and the Kickstarter forum page have been down right nasty :(

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Sep 23, 2015, 09:39:56 AMI remember asking. I don't remember being given an answer. However, from searching the Facebook group all I've seen was this:

"I am not at liberty to say. All I can say is that I do not believe there will be any further news on it."

Wargamers in general have a vile attitude, I've found.

As a Pressganger for Privateer Press, I've noticed that Magic the Gathering and Warhammer 40k players have the most "toxic" crowd when it comes to being unruly gamers. They have run people away from my gaming store before and so I've become more cautious around those kinds of folk. But that doesn't account for all of them by no means.
