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? ;) :p
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. :D

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)

To run would be to move quickly - unlikely methinks ;)

Last KS update was Aug 28th, 2014. He has also posted to a thread about the game over on rpg.net. So he just isn't updating his website with new info
Anyway, here (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/coming_product_info.php?products_id=133493&) is a link to drivethru for the pdf. It has a release date of 9/14 (was originally 9/4, but got pushed back 10 days for some reason). Backers got their pdf's last month
I was a backer of the Kickstarter and got a copy of the PDF a few weeks back. It's definitely complete now and it's a great looking book. There's even been PDFs sent out to us backers for one of the stretch goals too. However, I don't think there's been any word on a date for the physical copies yet. At least the book's layout and art are complete though as they've been the main causes for delaying it's release and, therefore, the wait shouldn't be too long now.
So what got updated in the new version?
Not that I know anything about the previous version. Just curious.
Quote from: Gabriel2;786214So what got updated in the new version?
I've just skimmed the new edition so far and not read through it thoroughly as I prefer to read physical books rather than PDFs. From what I gather there's been quite a few tweaks throughout but there's been some specific changes to the rules for vehicles, scale and combat.
PDF is now available on Drivethru/RPGNow for people to purchase
Has anyone heard when the print edition will be available?
Clay's last update said that it was at the printers and he was hoping it would be finished in the next couple of months. So there's a chance, at least for KS backers, that it'll arrive before Christmas. I guess it could be early next year for general release though. Hopefully we'll get another update on the situation in a few weeks.
