    I watched the full video through once to make certain I understood it all and then played it through to guide me step by step through the first build. Your explanation made this all work smoothly! Thank you for the time and care that you put into this video. Setting a high bar for the industry with your campaign, production quality, and support!

    Good lord Chris! I have just finished unboxing and assembling everything. The amount of care and detail that went into everything shows a lot! It's simply such a treat to see everything come together. The production on the game is beyond anything I've backed before, considering how much this was, I'm surprised you are breaking even!
    Can't wait to play this game with my partner! Kudos for the amazing campaign, I'm super impressed

I am loving this dedication to the tutorial! I am receiving VFI shipping updates, and should arrive today in Hong Kong !! Scheduled to table this on Sat already!

    Well, the stickering part is already giving me heavy anxiety and it's still a month or so before my copy arrives

    • @BellowsIntent
      @BellowsIntent  4 месяца назад

      It's not too bad, and the sticker is the piece that matters the least in this whole assembly, since it's mostly covered during gameplay by your row of Transmuter Tiles. That said, each character does come with two stickers in the box, in case you are _really_ unhappy with the placement of one.

    • @muttshouse
      @muttshouse 4 месяца назад +1

      Use tweezers on either side to hold them while you align the sticker. I'm going to use the "columns" for alignment initially vs measuring 1mm from either side. lol

    so while not its intention....will the stronger springs allow me to....entertain myself at my opponents expense without risk of harm to the opponent or mechanical board? yes, im that guy lol.
    also thanks Chris, been fun talking you in the comments and these look amazing

    • @BellowsIntent
      @BellowsIntent  4 месяца назад +2

      Mike, you can certainly use the stronger springs if you prefer them, and that will not risk damage to the player board. However, we cannot endorse firing energy tokens at your opponents.
      Thank _you_ for your support on this project. We're excited to be getting your copy into your hands in a few short weeks.

    Will these player boards be available at some point in the future as an upgrade for the core set?

    • @BellowsIntent
      @BellowsIntent  4 месяца назад +1

      We evaluated that early on and decided not to offer the mechanical player boards as an upgrade to the Core Edition of An Age Contrived, at least not for the first printing. The main reasons are that (a) it would be an expensive upgrade to manufacture and sell and (b) the mechanical player boards will not fit in the box of the Core Edition, so would need their own storage solution.
      It’s possible that will change if there is strong interest in such an upgrade after the game is released, in which case we would probably offer it as part of a new crowdfunding campaign.

  • @RvLeshrac
    @RvLeshrac 4 месяца назад

    It would have been much better to have a slight recess and thin inlays, rather than stickers, as any gunpla builder could tell you, but this doesn't seem too bad.

    • @BellowsIntent
      @BellowsIntent  4 месяца назад +2

      You're right about that. We tried to use an inlay instead, but the requirements of the sliders made that impractical. The logic why will probably be apparent when examining these player boards in the flesh.

  • @SecretlyMikeYoung
    @SecretlyMikeYoung 3 месяца назад +1

    It was really difficult to get the sliders to slot into the top tray and then fold them together. Also, why does this video have so many ads?

      That is indeed the most difficult part.

    Hab jetzt die Anleitung mehrmals durchgelesen und muss sagen dass die für mich leider nicht gut geschrieben ist.
    Abgesehen von ein paar Schreibfehlern ist nicht alles eindeutig. Schade
    Mal demnächst schauen wie das Spiel selbst ist. Am besten erst im Solomodus.
