Des news ?
Du 9 janvier :
Happy New Year to all our customers and especially to those who have shown great patience over the last 12 months. Let me start by saying that Radio silence has been ongoing due to background work and ongoing delays. I already mentioned that I am taking a small step back from the AVP KS for the next while due to personal commitments. This does not mean that I am forgetting about the project but that instead I’ll be looking to manage this from behind the scenes. Prodos Games Marketing team will be looking after all new updates. I and Prodos games are committed to completing this KS as soon as possible. In saying this however, we have hit a few problems with the clear resin and therefore the approval on this item.
Essentially the compound that we originally intended to use was pulled as the supplier couldn’t get us enough. Then the EU decided to ban our alternative on health and safety grounds. We value the health and safety of all our staff and customers and while this ban has led to further delays, we are happy that this product has not hit the shelves in the format intended.
A 3rd alternative is available however due to the low pull count, the resin destroys the casts too quickly.Because of the amount of wastage and low pull rate along with the low numbers of orders currently in our system we’re going to take the hit and use this option to manufacture the clear fempred and beserker in resin. This is a real lose/lose situation for us. Note that because of the wastage involved in this process, this will result in further delays for some backers. This is unavoidable.
Right, that’s the bad news out of the way, what are we going to do, is this the end of the invisible predators? Absolutely not! Well we’re pushing ahead with plastics! That’s right, you’ve heard it here. First up we’re looking to create the predators in clear plastic.

On top of that, if we get additional orders on the clear fempred and beserker we’ll move these over to plastic also. This should drastically increase our production speed.
The next piece of news is that the Beta rules for AVP: UNLEASHED will be released on 15th Feb. We understand that some of you feel that THB rules were rushed out and therefore we’re giving YOU the opportunity to have your say on the rules before they go to print. The playtest team have been hard at the rules and I believe they’ve had 7 if not 8 different versions of the various forces so that they feel that the forces are just right for deployment. I look forward to seeing the comments on these lists as having played them myself they certainly compare well with the other forces in Warzone. Here’s a little preview of the rules:

We are aware that a number of you are still waiting on items from your AVP Kickstarter.
The warehouse team is working flat out to correct these issues and, in some cases to avoid disappointment, we are waiting until all individual components are approved and accounted for before shipping out.
Yes this is not ideal however we feel it is the best way to ensure everyone receives the items that they have ordered and ensure that mistakes or errors are minimised.
This year is shaping up to be a good one and I’m looking forward to visiting several gaming conventions so I can see meet and chat to you, the fans and KS backers. We are determined to get this KS into your hands as soon as possible and while we have had several setbacks just before the holidays we’re sure that you won’t be disappointed with the end result.
