FLYOS wrote:The development of Rayman The Board Game was completed several weeks ago, and we’re now in the final steps before moving into mass production. Two key processes are currently underway: preparing the retail version alongside the Kickstarter edition, and reviewing production samples for both miniatures and paper components.

To keep production costs reasonable and synchronize shipping, we need to manufacture both the Kickstarter and retail editions at the same time. For those who missed the campaign, please note that the retail version will include plastic standees instead of figures. We are also awaiting the miniature samples, which may take another 2–3 months to finalize. As for the printed components, we expect to receive those samples within the next two weeks. We’ll share photos in the next update! These samples will also be used by our distribution partners to finalize their orders.

All of this will help ensure everything is aligned, both in terms of quality control and production timelines, so we can launch full manufacturing with confidence.

As for the Gamefound Pledge Manager, it is currently still open and will close toward the end of July. We’ll announce the exact closing date soon. We’re continuing to assist backers who need help completing their pledges — and we’re currently at around 65% of addresses entered.

The miniatures are highly detailed, and we hold ourselves to very high quality standards, so there may be some back and forth with the factory. If everything proceeds as planned, we should be on track for a late 2025 delivery. If there are delays, we expect it to shift to Q1 2026.

Now, the final step is validating the figures samples. That process has been slightly delayed, as we needed to make some final adjustments to the models and sync up with the factory. We’re aiming to kick off that phase within the next two weeks and receive the samples within the timeframe set by the manufacturer.

That said, this does push our production timeline back a bit. While we initially aimed for a June delivery, it’s now looking more like the end of the year. We’re truly sorry for this delay and are doing everything we can to move things forward as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Just a quick reminder: the Pledge Manager will close at the end of July. We’ll be sharing an update on both Kickstarter and Gamefound one week prior to give all backers a heads-up. As of today, we’re 66% complete.

I suppose the most important part is that they're aiming to deliver the game by the end of the year.

When people look at Rayman and Globox, or even the Teensies, they have a general understanding of their personalities and how they would behave in certain situations. Barbara's personality is...girl who wields axe. I just don't think she deserves to be a main character, frankly. Not where it stands now when she is just simply a character design that people like.

What I would like is if they did something more substantial with her and made her a character to care about before tacking her on with Globox and Rayman
