The first Vector for the Andromeda is up. This is the finalized design.

Seeing this gets me very excited about the game.

Tell me what you think.

I would love to get this and the other ships printed in 3D (minis). Any one here have a contact or can recommend someone to transfer the artwork into 3d and then to print?

Thanks.

Looks good. Minis would be

Looks good.

Minis would be great but do you think your game would do better as a mini game or just as a war game. Mini will make it expensive limiting the audience.

Tier

That may be up to the publisher.

But my friend and I were wondering about the phenomenon that is kickstarted and seeing if there is interest in minis for these ships. If so, we may be able to tier the production: minis or chits.

I'm still confused about kickstarted and how it works (seems very suspicious just giving money to someone with no security on a return) but I see these games making lots of money from it.

For right now, we are looking at just producing some 3d images that could be printed if/when that occurs.

Kickstarter

the "security" is the person's reputation. When you go to the store to buy a game, you have no real guarantee that you're going to get something fun, but you go off of the manufacturer's reputation. (or cool box art) It's very similar here. If you want a successful Kickstarter, it needs to look like you know what you're doing, that you've invested your own resources, and that you're not some "fly by night" scam artist.

Kickstarter (the organization) will do their own checks on you - you can't just submit something and it appears on their page. They have people that will look at your project. It's in their best interests to weed out scam artists or people that simply don't look like they're going to make it.

And once you get someone's money, you'd better darn well produce something. People have gone to court over it, so just be careful.

Kickstarter managers

I 've heard that publishers will work through a kickstarter manager to get that work done. I wonder if their fee includes a lawyer.

i would be very hesitant about kickstarting anything without using someone who is familiar with that territory.
