Just backed Simulacra Games "The Wilson Wolfe Affair" over on Kickstarter. I think you Armchair Detective fans would be interested:
BTW, they've already provided two very newsy updates in less than 24 hours and stated: "We are going to endeavour to keep you in the picture as much as we can with regular updates. In my work as a designer I’ve always found that even if nothing is happening, it’s better to update people with a note saying ‘nothing is happening’ than to just be silent."
Lord, the Armchair Detective Company could learn a thing or two from these people!

So... has anyone received a backer kit survey yet? I know I have not. The later and later this gets held up, the more I think we won't see this first crate in time for Christmas.

I wasn't expecting to see the backer kit survey until sometime in Dec. it would be so nice to get the crossword crate in time for Christmas. I don't really see a way for that to happen for those that made international purchases. But maybe we'll all get lucky!

For some reason I don't receive the email updates, either. And I forget to go to the Indiegogo page to look for updates.

Considering they have over 525 orders of Crossworder sold through various packages and given the fact that the Backer kit survey still isn't out...I'm not holding out any hope that this will actually be shipped in time for Christmas.

And they continue their sad, frustrating total lack of communication.

Just got the e-mail asking for my address (I backed for all 3 cases) but here's the kicker:
They ask you if you want to hold off on that Crossworder and wait until everything is ready.
"would you be willing to hold on receiving your copy of Mysterious Case 117: The Kidnapped Crossworder until later, so you receive all your mysterious cases at once? This doesn't cost you extra but will save us money on shipping costs, which can go towards making the other two mysterious cases even better"
Why does this leave me with a sinking feeling that they didn't exactly plan this out and now they're vaguely realizing actual costs to make this thing???

Yup, got it too. I agree, there's something a bit off-putting about asking us if we're willing to wait. Uh guys, we've been waiting for a year and a half, and you've barely communicated with us about the project in all that time. Nice try.

There have been so many times I actually wondered if this project would ever materialize at all. When someone suggested that on the Kickstarter site, a "friend" quickly wrote 'THESE PEOPLE ARE FAMOUS AND PROFESSIONAL' (I'm paraphrasing). Funny, they haven't acted that way from the start. Of course we're going to take anything we're offered at any TIME it's offered. I also wonder if the remaining two will live up to the hype they've received (from both them AND us) Lord. This has been a journey.

I completed my survey...of course, I want it NOW!

I wasn't asked if I wanted it now or later. Now I don't know when I'll get it.....I tried to go back to the survey to see if the question was there, but it just says I've completed it.

I think they might have gotten more takers on delayed shipping for Kidnapped Crossworder if they gave any indication of how long it would take to get the last two ready to ship.
I can't imagine many people saying "You've had my money for a year and a half with nothing to show for it. What's another year or more?"

I opted to get the The Kidnapped Crossworder now.
It's true that after all this time it seems very odd for them to ask if we'd like to wait until all three are ready (another 6 months to a year?) to receive something.
Most businesses fail because they are under-capitalized. Let's hope this isn't one of them.
Remaining optimistic, I also ordered one each of the cipher lock card and postcard. In for a dime, in for a dollar.

You would only have been asked the question if you purchased more than one of the experiences. If you did, and weren't asked, then you might contact them.

Crossworders is the only one I didn't want. So still more waiting for me. But at least there is hope the other boxes are finished someday.
