Allo la Terrre ici la Lune ..;
Plus de news depuis le 11avril :( Nous somme le 18 Mai ...
Le projet verra-t-il le jour?
Ou devons-nous tous demander le remboursement ?!
Cela devient une plaisanterie, tu faites du retard on devrait avoir des newe plus souvent.
si cela continue je vais demander le remboursement je pense que nous avons été tous assez patient et compréhensif.

I'm sorry but this is a joke. This is hapenning again and again.
Everyone starts to complain and to get angry when the publisher stops talking...
It happenned and it is still hapenning.

What can we say? The trust is not there anymore and we are turning from Supporting Fans into unhappy customers.

Where is this going ? Bank problem after 8 month funding .. I don't know where this is going but from my seat, I would say that this project is about to fail.
Please help us to feel confident about our investment.

--
En quelques mots: le manque de communication est en train de nous transformer en clients mécontents alors que nous étions tous des fans.
A l'heure actuelle, je pense que ce projet va échouer et je demande à Piotr de nous aider à être un peu confiant sur notre investissement.

Petite update. Piotr m'a répondu. Apparemment il attend confirmation de sa banque pour une rallonge de crédit. Si tout se passe bien, la situation doit se débloquer la semaine prochaine. Rien de nouveau donc, mais au moins c'est quelque chose. Je le relance la semaine prochaine.

---

Small update. Piotr answered my mail. Apparently, he's waiting for his bank to confirm the extension of his credit line, next week at worst. No real progress, but at least that's something.
I'll give it a try next week as well.

Pour info, j'ai envoyé un message à Piotr sur sa page perso sur ulule, ainsi qu'un mail via son site. J'essaie également de le contacter sur Skype. Je vous tiens au courant si jamais je reçois quelque chose.

---

I've messaged Piotr on his personal page on ulule and sent him an email through the address on his website. I'm also trying to contact him through Skype. I'll keep you informed when/if I get anything out of him

Now another month has passed since we've heard anything. This is what I get for kicking in over 200 dollars and sticking with this campaign when so many have bailed out? I'm SO done with crowdfunding. From now on, I'll buy my stuff at the store.

Hélas, tisseurdereves, tu as complètement raison.

Je crois qu'on peut comprendre les aléas d'une édition aussi marginale que celle-ci, si tant est qu'on soit régulièrement tenu informé desdits aléas. Rien n'est pire que ne pas savoir, dans une situation comme celle-ci.

Piotr, plutôt que nous laisser nous agacer de ton assourdissant silence, tu devrais au contraire nous faire patienter en nous racontant avec forte dérision les pépins qui doivent certainement s'accumuler jour après jour. Ainsi, on ne se sentira pas prisonnier de ton absence, mais plutôt complice de tes péripéties !

-----

You're -unfortunatly- absolutly right, tisseurdereves.

I think we all are able to understand the tricks of such a marginal game publishing... if only we were regularly informed. There's nothing worse than not knowing, in a situation like this.

Piotr, instead of losting us in your astonishing silence, you should make us laugth because of yours adventures... and so we would be your accomplices, not your "angry clients"!

tisseurdereves said 2 weeks, 4 days ago

Histoire de ne laisser personne dans le noir, je poste ce message en français et en anglais.

Piotr, je comprends que vous puissiez rencontrer des difficultés. Il s'agit d'un projet ambitieux, et les aléas sont inévitables. Jusque là, pas de soucis.
En revanche, ce que j'ai plus de mal à avaler, c'est le manque d'information sur la progression du projet. Pour dire les choses simplement : ON A BESOIN DE SAVOIR. Savoir comment les choses progressent, ou pas. Savoir où en est la production, ou si ça bloque. Savoir quand on peut s'attendre à recevoir le jeu, ou pas.
Le fabricant annonce du retard ? Dites-le nous.
On vous a envoyé les bases ? Dites-le nous.
Vous avez envoyé un mail à un fournisseur et vous attendez une réponse ? Dites-le nous.
Toujours pas de nouvelles de ce fournisseur ? DITES. LE. NOUS.

Rencontrer des difficultés c'est une chose, ne pas nous tenir au courant en est une autre. Vous avez mentionné des annulations. Je suis persuadé que le manque de communication en est en partie responsable. Pour faire simple (encore), une mise à jour mensuelle AU MIEUX, c'est tout simplement insuffisant. Je pense que nous avons tous fait preuve de beaucoup de patience jusqu'à maintenant, mais ça commence à faire long. Ca fait dix mois que le projet a été financé. 10 mois, et rien de concret à se mettre sous la dent. Il serait temps de nous faire savoir où en est exactement le projet, et ce qui reste à faire. Cette collecte est le fruit de notre engouement à voir un tel projet arriver à son terme. Je pense que l'on mérite plus que les maigres infos que vous nous avez fourni jusqu'à maintenant.
Ce n'est pas de la méchanceté gratuite ou des pleurnicheries. Je voulais juste mettre les choses à plat autant que faire se peut. La balle est dans votre camp maintenant.

For everyone's sake, I'll post this message both in French and English.

Piotr, I understand you might be experiencing difficulties. It is an ambitious project, and hindrances are to be expected. I'm perfectly ok with that.
What I have trouble accepting, however, is the lack of updates on how things are going. I'll make this simple: WE NEED TO KNOW. Know if things are progressing, or not. Know where the production is going, or if it's stalled. Know when we can expect the game, or not.
The cardboard maker says he is late ? Tell us.
Bases have been shipped to you ? Tell us.
You sent a mail to the supplier and you're waiting for an answer ? Tell us.
You haven't received an update from the said supplier ? TELL. US.

Having trouble is one thing, keeping all of us in the dark is another entirely. You mentioned people voiding their participation. I'm convinced that your lack of communication is partly to be blamed. Simply said, an update once a month AT BEST is simply not enough. I believe we have all been really patient until now, but this is getting really tedious. It's been 10 months since the project was funded. 10 months, with nothing concrete whatsoever. Time to lay things on the table and tell us at what point exactly the project has advanced, and what remains to be done. We funded your project out of excitement at seeing it completed. I think we deserve more than the trickle of info you feed us.
I'm not trying to be nasty or whiny, I just wanted to lay things as flatly as I could. Your play.

Three weeks ago, you mentioned that you'd start shipping things "tomorrow." How's that going? An update would be nice.

Pourrions nous avoir des nouvelles de la prod et surtout de la sortie du jeu?
Est-ce que l'on parle de Juin, de Septembre, à Essen ?

Bonjour Piotr et merci pour les nouvelles.
Est-ce que vous pourriez nous indiquer une timeline indicative quant au temps restant avant la réception du jeu ?
Histoire qu'on sache à peu près à quoi s'en tenir...
Merci !

Quelques nouvelles Piotr ? Ca fait tout de même un mois depuis la dernière news. Ne serait-ce qu'une estimation du délai avant livraison, ça serait tout de même bien.

Serait il possible d'avoir quelques nouvelles ? 2 mois et demi sans information... cela parait long...

tisseurdereves said 3 months ago

I fully agree with Peter below. While I think we all understand the difficulties you might be experiencing, a weekly update on how things are, if only to let us know the project is still on, would be much, much appreciated.

shakkra said 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Hello,
Plus de nouvelles depuis le 12/12/12.
Le test des dés a été concluant? La production est lancée?
Quand pourrons-nous espérer avoir nos boites?
Le projet verra-t-il le jour?
Il serait judicieux d'avoir plus de nouvelles :(
Le 1er trimestre approche à grand pas... Y aura-t-il du retard encore?...

Cdt.

Peter, I understand your frustration. The preparation and the production of Aurora is taking longer than I expected and I am sorry about that. I'll try to update you more frequently.

peterockradio
peterockradio said 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Almost two months now, without any news... When you miss your planned release date, you kind of owe your supporters more frequent (like, every week or two at least) updates detailing precisely where things stand. We've all been extremely patient. It's time to bring this thing in for a landing, or keep us up to date on why you're not.
