WHERE TO GO FROM HERE - PART 2

As I eluded to in the last post, I am working through the numbers trying to decide if an episodic production and release through Kickstarter is a viable option.

So, we now have a course and a destination… Which honestly is a very welcome and refreshing change.

Why use Kickstarter?

As a marketing platform it allows to reach a wider audience, not just my current customers but those new to the hobby and those who never knew DreamForge was even a 'thing'. I think we all know that the train has stalled, and its going to take a lot of effort and lots of attention to get it rolling again. Perhaps there will be a time that I can move off the Kickstarter platform, but for now… The broader exposure is required. This exposure comes at a price, Between the Kickstarter fees, the currency transaction fees and the backer support fees in the form of a post Kickstarter service to collect shipping and allow backers to add items or options, we are looking at near 10% in fees alone.

Expectations:

Not every Kickstarter campaign will succeed, that's OK. If the demand for a particular kit is not there, then its not… No harm no foul, we move on to the next product offering. I completely expect for there to be unfunded projects that never make it to plastic and possibly (if there was enough interest) may see a resin release instead. There will be changes to how DreamForge approaches on hand inventory and even they type of products offered, not all offerings need to be Iron Core specific, it provides far more flexibility in product development than making sure each product fits neatly into the project I have already started. If I get an itch to do…well anything, it gives a platform to see if all of you are also interested.

How will that work? And what does that look like from the customers side?

The plan is to have a very focused Kickstarter for a single product, its actual production costs and any profits expected will need to be folded into the funding goal. This is a strong departure from the retail model, where revenues are gained over time and the investment/debt is front loaded.

Product availability outside the initial Kickstarter will be limited, 10% to 20% beyond the total needed to fulfill the Kickstarter will be run, some of that will be soaked up by the inevitable issues, damaged kits, mispacked or missing items from a kit and kits that never make it to the backer and get lost in transit. 

There may be re-runs offered on popular kits in future Kickstarter's, but there will be minimums that need to be met, typically a 500 unit run will be needed. If I feel that the kit will sell, I may assist with purchasing some of that re-run myself, to provide stock on hand. The best way for a customer to approach this is to buy what you want and what you think you will need at the time of the offering, I cannot make a promise that there will be a second run if the overall interest is not there.

Customers will need to pay for the actual shipping costs for the products they back.

Shipping, as we all know is stuuupid expensive from the US to anywhere outside its borders. Each Kickstarter will be shipped directly from China to mitigate the expense to the customer as much as possible, this means most of the world will likely see a drastic cost reduction, but the US will see an increase. Why don't I just ship the US from the US? Well, because it's a hidden cost, one that would need to be calculated into the Kickstarter… Someone has to pay to get it to the US before it could be sent out from our warehouse, add to this the staffing costs, the shipping package costs and overhead, and it becomes a real issue that has not been factored into the per kit price… We are running as lean as possible, to provide a per kit price that is as low as possible, there will be no room for uncalculated expenses.

How are the Kickstarter's structured?

This is open for revision, but the plan is to absorb the costs and required profits into a 1000 minimum unit run. If it costs $40,000 for the molds, production, boxes and services, then the cost of each unit would be $40.00. 

What happens if a Kickstarter goes nuts and the total funding far outstrips the required funding goal? Do you get a discount? Discounts will be offered when you pick up multiple kits, not by the overall success of a product. Those are profits that get re-invested to make DreamForge healthy, to pay for game development, to pay for additional stock, to help pay for re-release of the current line of kits, as those tools will need to be re-cut at some point. I am not pulling the discount off the table, but for the foreseeable future, I have a lot of catching up to do and core development that needs to happen for DreamForge to grow and thrive.

I want to be clear, this is not going to be a song and dance Kickstarter model, there 'may' be extras offered if there is room on the sprues, ( I will try to pack them the best that I can) but anything extra in the form of products adds to the costs and I am not bulking the costs to deal with that. I am trying to keep the price per kit to you as low as I possibly can.

Longer term with the releases and stock on hand.

Obviously, this model does is not ideal for some aspects of brand development, limited supply concerns may not be ideal but it's not unusual when we look around the industry and other companies that made their way on Kickstarter. I am not GW, I do not have their sales volume or the resources available to behave like GW. Please understand that expecting a small manufacture in plastic to be able to behave and function as one of the top two or three in the industry, may not really be a reasonable expectation. I will strive to get there, but until the financial aspect of that shift make sense, I will be doing what is best for the growth of the company with the resources available. 

I think we can all agree, that Iron Core needs at least two to three full factions, terrain and a rules set, so as we move through these requirements, I will try to weight when it becomes viable as its own free standing IP. The goal is to grow the brand, expand the product offering, make available some of the older kits and even start to offer some options for those not interested in Iron Core. Fantasy, Cyberpunk and a myriad of other avenues are available and the wider the base of offerings, the more stable the base.

All of this is dependent on me, making what you want, delivered at a reasonable price within a reasonable time.

I am very excited about the prospect and the future. I am really looking forward to exploring your 'needful things' and if they can be created and successfully funded in an episodic, backer driven environment. I hope that you join be on this new course and help guide my had in future releases.

Soooo many itches to scratch, so little time :P

I will be reaching out in a few locations looking for honest feedback and direction from all of you.

• Through surveys sent to my mailing list… So please sign up on the DreamForge-Games website if you have not.

• Through my Facebook group DreamForge-GamesArtist Retreat  (please do not try to message me here) For whatever reason FB and I do not sync well…. I must be an old fart, not a huge fan of FB or twitter :P

• On Dakka Dakka (I could start my own forum but it's a waste of energy, at least at this stage)

• And, well...here but its not very good for two way conversations.

The Art Of Video Games: Metal Gear Solid

SPOILER ALERT: Plot details for Metal Gear Solid follow.

With the creation of the PlayStation, and the onset of three dimensional games, the question understandably arose if video games had the potential to be cinematic. Gaming, of course, is a visual medium, and further, a storytelling one. The only other comparable medium that gaming could turn into was film. Only movies carried  While Nintendo certainly broke new ground in three-dimensional games with Super Mario 64, The Ocarina of Time, and Starfox, but they compared more with cartoons than with the stuff of movies. It is said that two games truly established the PlayStation, and proved, beyond any doubt, that this new medium of video games could adopt the aesthetic of a film. These were Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid. While Final Fantasy VII certainly represented a more realistic venture than the series had before witnessed, it couldn't compare to Metal Gear Solid, with its more human models, documentary footage, and an uncanny resemblance to action thrillers like Die Hard.

Metal Gear Solid is not the inaugural game in the series. Two previous Metal Gear games, adopted the tactics of stealth in armed compounds, with Solid Snake as the star, twice confronting the villain Big Boss. The games were innovators in the idea that you should win with strategy and sneak, not going in guns blazing. This carried over to the new game, but with power of 3D, hence the title: Solid. This, along with the technological power of the PlayStation, allowed for a complete overhaul of the series' platform, and with a wider audience to boot. For many gamers, Solid is their entry point into Kojima's monumental franchise.

MGS takes place on Shadow Moses Island where terrorists from the organization FOXHOUND have taken control of Metal Gear Rex, a mech that can launch nuclear missiles. You play Solid Snake a soldier who is tasked with infiltrating the base and keeping the terrorists from launching it, which could possibly spark nuclear war between the United States and Russia. Snake's original design was taken from Michael Biehn's Kyle Reese in The Terminator, though he later took inspiration from Kurt Russell's taciturn Snake Plissken in Escape From New York, adopting the beard and eyepatch in later entries. There's also something of John Rambo in him, a bandanna clad one-man-army. Yoji Shinkawa's rough and elemental character designs deserve credit here. Snake, though, comes into his own as of the great characters of video games. Like Eastwood's Man With No Name, he's a stoic warrior with a laconic sense of humor. Battle has almost consumed him body and soul, and he seems himself more as a weapon than human. Despite this, Snake isn't heartless. He treats his enemies honorably, and his friends, he learns to care for.

While inside, you meet allies from the eager young warrior Meryl to the otaku computer engineer Otacon. Meanwhile, your commlink keeps you in contact with the rest of your team, Colonel Campbell, who heads the operation, Master Miller, who trained you, Naomi Hunter, an agent who's wary of your morals, Nastasha, a weapons expert, and Mei Ling, who saves your game and annoys you with endless proverbs. Your commlink keeps the game from getting too lonely, adding fresh humanity to the gritty storyline. It is also important to the gameplay, as these individuals can give you advice when you're stuck with a boss or lost in an air vent.

On the surface, a game that focuses on hiding and sneaking sounds limited in gameplay terms, however, MGS provides an ever expanding array of freedom and options. You start off on Shadow Moses virtually naked, picking up various weapons and tools along the way. A lot like the Zelda games, you slowly build a wide arsenal that can be utilized for various circumstances. Chaff grenades can briefly put security cameras on the fritz, while stun grenades can stop those chasing you. The navigation goggles are useful for dark areas, particularly, the wolf cave, while the cigarette smoke can reveal hidden laser beams or calm you as you fire the sniper rifle. The game rewards you for searching out every nook and cranny, with useful and rare items like the gas mask, the thermogoggles, the mine detector, and the body armour. The atmosphere of the game always has you on edge, with cold steel, scurrying rats, and the frigid Alaskan snows. Of course, given how easy it is die, sneaking around guards is always better than fighting them. One of the funnier ways to do so is by hiding in a cardboard box.

The boss fights of MGS are among the best of any video game. Each one requires you to utilize a different strategy or fight with different weapons. It's never a simple case of mowing them down with a machine gun. Psycho Mantis utilizes a variety of psychic attacks whose patterns need to read in order to win. The most memorable part of that fight was having to switch the controller port in order to prevent him from reading your mind. Sniper Wolf can only be defeated from a distance with a sniper rifle, or if the snowfield, by Nikita missiles. Cyborg Ninja can only be brought down using fists, but stunned with the chaff grenade. When Liquid Snake takes control of a Hind helicopter, you have to track his movements and him out of the sky with Stinger missiles. In order to defeat these enemies, you have to master their styles. The bosses also have distinct, memorable personalities. Revolver Ocelot has an affinity for cowboys and showing off. Sniper Wolf relishes in the hunt and has a kinder side towards her dogs. The finale bosses, however, are always something to enjoy in this series: a one-on-one fight with a mech, this time Rex, followed by hand-to-hand combat with the antagonist, this time Liquid.

The plot of the MGS series is notoriously convoluted and difficult, with political conspiracy, constant betrayals, and fictional scientific breakthroughs, it can be quite a lot to take in between saves. So I suppose it would do best to focus on the two major themes: war and genetics. Many of the characters, hero and villain, are affected by the demands of battle. Meryl wants to be a soldier like Snake, but killing the enemy terrifies her, and she's made victim by both Psycho Mantis and Sniper Wolf. It doesn't take her long to see that battle isn't glorious, and best avoided. Otacon initially went into engineering to build mecha like those in anime, but finds himself aiding terrorists on the nuclear warheads. He starts off cowardly, and emotional, falling for Sniper Wolf, but her death and Snake's leadership push him to be a better, and stronger person. Sniper Wolf was a Kurd who was born and raised through the endless nightmare of conflict. So when she joined FOXHOUND, she did so as a sniper, detached from war as an observer. We learn soon after that she spared Meryl, still uneasy from seeing women and children die in war. It was at this point that I realized why Snake is so respectful towards the enemies he defeats. He knows that, under similar circumstances, he could've turned out the same way. Indeed, MGS recognizes that nuclear weapons aren't the cause of war, but an extension of our own human vices. Yet the less temptation there is, the better. The game ends with a sobering coda on the amount of nukes that still exist in the world.

Psycho Mantis tells Snake that what he finds most disgusting in human beings is their desire to procreate and spread their DNA. He sees this as a cause for war. Psycho Mantis didn't want to be tied to his DNA, so he killed his father and burned his whole village. Liquid Snake, Solid Snake's twin brother, resents his genes. The twin snakes are super soldiers who were cloned from the legendary warrior Big Boss. Liquid believes that his brother inherited the dominant genes, while he inherited only the recessive ones. We later learn from Ocelot that the reverse is actually true, and Liquid's failure was his own. Snake tells Mantis that a great man doesn't need to see into the future, he makes his own. Poisoned with FoxDie, Snake doesn't know how much longer he has left to live, but he knows living well is better than living long.

Something A Little different....The First Of The Romans

One on-going project I have at the moment (and one which is going to go on for quite a long time!), is painting up a lot of Warlord Early Imperial Romans. Not for me, I might add, but fun nonetheless. Here are the first 2 cohorts- eventually I'll have a couple of Legions worth + all the Auxilia to do. So, quite a bit.
I'm not doing this alone, thank God, but as part of a team of painters in order to accomplish this massive task.

I've always wanted to do an Early Imperial army, but have never actually got round to it, one of those situations common to just about every wargamer, we all have "those projects" I guess, so having the opportunity to paint one for someone else will hopefully get it out of my system.

Early Imperials have always been the "classic" Romans for me, Square Scutem, Lorica Segmentata, I suspect my like of them goes back to a bunch of Timpo figures I had when I was a youngster.
The Warlord figures have been around for while, go together fairly easily, choices of sword-arm or pilum, a few different head choices. The ones in the pictures are a mixture of the basic set and the set sold as "veterans" - these give you a few extra choices - different heads and helmets, and battered shields. All the veterans have the additional magnia sword- arm armour a few legionaires adopted for the Dacian wars. Fortunately these are indeed for the Dacian campaigns so they will fit right in.

                       There are a few extra metal command figures mixed in- manufacturer unknown.

Anyway, I'm enjoying doing these, which is probably just as well, seeing as there are a few to paint! It makes for a good diversion from the WWII projects which I'm also doing for myself.

        So thats a few Romans, Next up, I'll be showing some rather lovely Dacian tribesmen to oppose them

The Lone Wolf

What can I say about Wolf that you haven't heard somewhere before? My relationship with Wolf has almost always been complicated. We grew up together and were friends when we were young. We spent most weekends and holidays together back then and we were practically inseparable. We spent so much time playing and talking about what kind of Pokémon we'd train when we grew up, it's crazy to think how far we'd ultimately drift apart. We were like brothers in those early days. The rift began to grow between us when we entered our teens.
It's safe to say I still don't completely understand what happened to this day. We just began to see things differently and move in different social circles. The kids around us were getting their first Pokémon and heading off on their Pokémon journeys, but not us. I didn't have the means to head out with a Pokémon when I was that young. Wolf, however, did have the means to leave on a Pokémon adventure. Wolf had the means to do whatever he wanted, but by that time he wasn't all that interested  in Pokémon anymore. He was interested in money. We didn't see eye to eye, and as a result we really didn't see each other much at all for quite a few years. But over those years a bitterness grew between us.
As I followed those excited youngsters through the streets of Viridian City, there's no way I could have known I was about to see Wolf again. I would never have even imagined that he was in Kanto. The last I had heard about Wolf was that he was running a small but successful business back home. I believe it was a Pokémon Rental service for people wanting to experience Pokémon battles and training, but without the fuss of leaving home or frankly doing any of the work that comes along with it. When I found out, I was hurt that I hadn't been invited to help start it up. We grew up dreaming about working with Pokémon, and then he went and started without me. I felt so left behind by my childhood friend that I completely distanced myself from him. Speaking honestly, I may have always been a bit jealous that success came so easily to him and that he took his family's generous start up money for granted.

I found the mysterious newcomer to town quite near the open field where I caught Nibbles. From a distance I could see him gazing up at Indigo Plateau. I rushed across the field to challenge him. The two city kids were just behind me eager to see a Pokémon battle with their own eyes. When my footfalls came into earshot, the trainer turned around and when I saw the face of my former friend I was completely stunned. My feet faltered to a complete stop. The children behind me almost slammed into my backpack because I stopped so abruptly. The expression on Wolf's face was also one of surprise, but it quickly melted into a sneer.
"What are you doing here, Fox?" I remember him asking.
"I heard there was a trainer out here. I didn't know it was you." I felt my words coming out as a stutter. "I came out here to challenge you."
"Oh. No." His tone was sympathetic. "I mean, what are you doing in Kanto?" I felt stupid that I misunderstood him.
"I'm here to start the Sanctuary. You remember my idea, right? I want to start a Pokémon preservation park. I'm still working out the details, but Professor Oak agreed to help me get started."
"Right. Yeah. I remember." He laughed a little. "It's a cute idea, but I thought you'd have given up on that by now." I remember his tone felt so condescending at the time. I felt flush with anger. He either didn't notice or didn't care. Wolf turned to look back up into the mountains. "I'm here to challenge the champion of Indigo Plateau," he announced smugly.
"I thought you were running some company back home," I asked through clenched teeth. I didn't really want to talk about it, but I also didn't want Wolf to be here right now.
"Yeah. I am." He spoke without looking at me. "I hired some managers, which gives me a bit more free time. It practically runs itself. So instead I'm here to challenge the Kanto Pokémon League." He turned back to look me in the eye. I felt he was mocking me when he asked, "Did you say you wanted to challenge me?" He looked as though the thought was delightfully amusing. He looked as though fighting me was beneath him.
I had a newfound conviction in my voice when I answered. "Yeah. I do. Are you ready or do you need a minute to collect yourself?" I took Kiwi's ball from its holster on my backpack strap.
Wolf looked me straight in the eyes and laughed. "You're so serious, man. I'm ready. I'll fight you with the junkémon I just got." We both tossed out our Pokéballs and both our Pidgeys faced off against one another.

The fight was absolutely nerve wracking. Not only was this my first competitive battle ever, but it was against someone I couldn't bear to lose against. It was an understatement to say I was determined to win. Not to mention, I simply couldn't afford to fail. I needed that money I'd get from a victory over Wolf to support myself in the future. Meanwhile, the look on Wolf's face appeared as if he couldn't care less.
Kiwi and his Pidgey circled each other overhead sizing each other up. Kiwi dove down into the grass and buffeted some dirt and soil up into his opponents face. I stifled a small smile that some of the dirt and grass found its way into Wolf's face as well. The attack was a complete success, for both of Wolf's Pidgey's next couple attacks missed Kiwi outright. Although Kiwi had the advantage, Kiwi only managed to lightly wound his opponent before it landed a very lucky strike on Kiwi knocking him from the sky and into the grass.
I remember my heart leapt into my throat seeing Kiwi hit so hard. I immediately withdrew him and tossed out Rascal. Wolf's Pidgey was significantly weakened now and still couldn't see clearly. Rascal had done most of his training against other Pidgey, so I was confident he would win. He did not disappoint me. Landing a decisive quick attack on Wolf's Pidgey put the bird completely out of commission. I watched as it fell defeated into the grass and I was flooded with a mixture of emotions. I was elated that I was now winning against my former friend, but I was sad that his Pokémon had gotten so badly hurt in the process. This battle marked the beginning of many conflicting feelings about caring for Pokémon and also battling with them.
Wolf withdrew his fainted Pidgey and tossed out the only other Pokémon he had with him. I was surprised to see him with such a rare Pokémon as Squirtle - one that Professor Oak had promised he would track down for me if I could help him test the Pokédex. Then I remembered Wolf came from a wealthy family. It probably was not that big of a deal to him to have this fairly uncommon Pokémon rounding out his team. Wolf made me so angry, so frustrated. He made it all look so easy. I think Rascal could feel how heated I was, because he was also worked up into a frenzy. After distracting the Squirtle with a series of mesmerizing tail whips, he devastated it with a well placed tackle to its exposed head. Wolf was utterly defeated, but I was still angry.
Wolf laughed as he withdrew his Pokémon. He laughed!
"You're really worked up over this, huh?" he asked me.
I denied it even though he could see right through me.
"Well, good match. I'll transfer you the winning credits." He shrugged. "It was good to see you, Fox. Keep training. Maybe we can have a rematch some time."
"Don't you even care?" I demanded as he turned to walk away from me. "You lost! Your Pokémon are completely knocked out." I honestly have no idea what I wanted from him. I don't know what he could have said to make me feel better. Even in defeat his arrogance and his self-entitlement defeated my spirit. My grand victory over my rival felt like a complete failure, in part because he didn't even care.
"Fainting is part of the training process, Fox." He said nonchalantly. "I can afford to help them heal and get back into the fight. It's no big deal. Next time I see you, we'll do it all again." With that our first encounter in Kanto was over as he casually strolled back into Viridian City. The children rushed up to me to congratulate me. Their happy, smiling faces beaming with pride at their new friend's victory made me feel just a bit better. But my eyes kept drifting to Wolf's back as it slowly disappeared into the city.

Super Panda Adventures (PC) - Guest Post

This week on Super Adventures, guest poster mecha-neko has returned to write about a game with the best title. It's literally 'Super Adventures', except with a panda in it! Now I just need to find a science fiction movie called Ray Hardgrit's Sci-Fi Cat Adventures so I can manipulate him into to writing my other site for me as well.

Also I realise that this was published on a Wednesday, not a Monday, but mecha-neko has a fondness for his banner and I didn't have the heart to tell him he couldn't use it. I guess you could read it on a Monday if that works better for you.

Hello everyone! I hope the new year is treating you well!

Hmm... hands up who'd like to see a brightly coloured platform game about a loveable panda!

                                         goku cartoon information

Son Goku (Japanese: 孫 悟空（そん ごくう） Hepburn: Son Gokū) is a fictional character and main protagonist of the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He is based on Sun Wukong, a maincharacter in the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West.

Initially believed to have been born on Earth, Goku later learns that he is a member of an extraterrestrial warrior race called the Saiyans, which is also the reason for his superhuman strength, and his birth name is Kakarot (カカロット Kakarotto). As Goku grows up, he becomes the Earth's mightiest warrior and protects his adopted home planet from those who seek to harm it. Goku is depicted as carefree and cheerful when at ease, but quickly serious and strategic-minded when in battle and also enthusiastic to fight. He is able to concentrate his Ki and use it for devastatingly powerful energy-based attacks; the most prominent being his signature Kamehameha (かめはめ波), in which Goku launches a blue energy blast from his palms. Also pure of heart, Goku has frequently granted mercy to his enemies, which has often earned him additional allies in the process (though has also resulted in others taking advantage of his kindness), and he is one of the few who can ride the magic cloud called Kinto'un (筋斗雲, lit. "Somersault Cloud", renamed "Flying Nimbus" in Funimation's dub); which was another element adapted from Journey to the West.^[2]
