Re: AoA:Vanguard Campaign Postmortem

As it was previously stated on this thread, the project was run by a member of Avalon Hill who had never played Heroscape before the project began, and as you mentioned, they were apparently working...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

Well, that is the end of it all. I am not going to repeat what has been said in the past, although in short summary I haven't been a supporter of this project. I do nevertheless hope that Heroscape...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

Not sure I'd call it artificially inflated (or at least not in the sense that AH didn't think about how 8000 orders doesn't mean 8000 backers). Reason I say that is with the Haslab allowing for a...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

so I'm guessing that at this point, the final number will be somewhere around 4200. Better than what most predictions had been, however artificially inflated due to already-existing backers trying to...

Re: Heroscape: Age of Annihilation is here! Back it on Hasla

not gonna happen. The goal at this point is to at least reach the midway point so that they (Avalon Hill) have a reason to start this project anew once the dust has settled and the project has been...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

No you are not alone. There isn't any charm to be found in these new units compared to the old Heroscape product.

It all goes back to them losing sight of what Heroscape once was, instead looking...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

You talk about accessibility, and yet this crowdfunding project is the opposite of being accessible to a wider audience, like it was with the initial product on offer over a decade ago.

They have released some content on Discord but again, they're giving this information to a niche group of individuals that have already been following this project since the beginning.

Re: Heroscape: Age of Annihilation is here! Back it on Hasla

Which are perfectly legitimate:

a) the price
b) Haslab as a crowdfunding platform being badly designed (I don't understand why they can't have an update and comment section)

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

With all due respect, this point of comparison does not achieve to win the argument here. If people don't want to spend 250$ US on a board game crowdfunding project with lacklustre marketing, no...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

Numbers seem to be progressing well, although unfortunately a case of "too little too late". If we meet the halfway point of 4000 backers within the next 5 days then we still only have 5 days to...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

still under 50 backers a day, not enough to reach 4000 backers by the time funding is finished

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

Numbers haven't been decreasing though- on the contrary, it seems to be between 20 and 40 backers a day on average since the first week. It is possible that the numbers decrease slightly in the last...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

So some entity either majorly jumped the gun on starting the Heroscape Haslab or was late in spreading the word in an effective way prior to launch.[/QUOTE]

How about both?

Re: Heroscape: Age of Annihilation is here! Back it on Hasla

Heroscape has a wonderful community which has allowed it to survive after all these years-the type of community that many games can only dream of having.

With that being said, is the idea to...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

That seems to summarize the Discord chat fairly well

The numbers are not doing well at all. Less than 50 backers a day and we won't be even hitting the halfway point by the time we get to the last...

OP hasn't updated the wording of the post since October 2nd, so of course it won't be reflecting current trends.

Regarding the actual numbers themselves, yesterday was a good day, with an updated...

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

this is MUCH improved, and in a sense it's frustrating because numbers would be a lot stronger now had they actually made a proper Haslab page like this before we got nearly 4 weeks into the project....

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

new images uploaded upon the Haslab page!

It's too bad that this was done so late into the campaign that it won't make much of a dent, but hopefully it does start to turn a few undecideds

Re: Age of Annihilation - Backer Trend and Discussion

If we can't reach the 50% mark (4000 backers) by the midpoint mark, in 7 days, then forget it. OP's projections are already quite high all because the initial numbers were really strong but we've...
