OVA Revised?

danbuter · December 17, 2013, 10:45:33 PM

Does anyone know if this game has shipped yet? It was easily funded via Kickstarter, but I was waiting for release to pick it up. I have the 1st edition, which is pretty nice.

http://ovarpg.blogspot.com/ for those who don't know what I'm talking about (OVA is a rules-lite anime rpg).

As far as I know they've not shipped yet.

A text version was released to backers, but the book is delayed. If you know anything about Wise Turtle, despite Clay being a nice guy, you should expect delays.

Clay is a nice guy but a turtle was definitely the appropriate mascot for him...

I'm a backer and the lack of progress or updates is deafening...

The last update was the 5th of August and the last comment from Clay was 27 Oct.

That reminds me of the years of waiting for OVA2 before the KS even started.

You're not helping

Did I mention that I didn't pledge for this one?

Tell me about it, I wanted to pledge on this but my gut told me not to as I new Clay was a slow poke. He may be a nice guy but he needs to work on his production ability speed, maybe put a few points of experience in agility or something, IDK.

Much the same with me. I would have kickstarted it though, I was just broke at the time.

I pledged. For the PDF. The Turtle branding is spot on. :-) I originally was going in for the deluxe hard cover, but remembered it took several years in development and then several months of delays before the KS launched. I didn't want to make more of an emotional commitment. :-)

Well, there has just been an update but all it really does is confirm that Clay is alive. There isn't actually any information about when the OVA book / PDF will be ready.

Very poor.

"Someday when all the art is perfect" isn't an acceptable delivery date?

At this point, I'm thinking Clay took the money and ran.

Backers got their pdf copies from Drivethru all ready, and it is supposed to be made available later this month for everyone else (I think the 14th, but can't be certain)
