The second-oldest outstanding project in the list of projects I've backed just arrived today.

Estimated delivery was September 2021.

I'm still waiting on the one that was supposed to be done in January 2020.

@KeithAmmann My record, and I hope to never repeat it:

  • Successfully funded on Sep 2 2015
  • Estimated delivery Mar 2016
  • Marked as received on August 8, 2023

@KeithAmmann I just wish there were as much information for creators about how to make reasonable time table estimates as there is on how to make a flashy marketing video.

All mine but one have delivered, 99% blow completely past the original time estimate (which I now mentally tack a year onto plus 6 months for substantial stretch goals)

@squishymage42 You know what the projects I've seen deliver on schedule have in common?

The creative work is already complete when the campaign is launched. All that's left is production.

@KeithAmmann @squishymage42 Even then, I'd be shocked if that resulted in even a 50% chance of on-time fulfillment. Unless someone's run a successful kickstarter before, they inevitably neglect something about production or fulfillment (e.g. Chinese New Year, customs) that delays the project 3+ months.

@KeithAmmann If Far West can finally deliver, anything can happen!

@Tim_Eagon @KeithAmmann One of the projects I backed early in my kickstarter habit was Swordsfall.

rest in peace money that could have gone to literally anything useful.

@bedirthan @KeithAmmann The most problematic Kickstarter I ever backed was Red Aegis, and even that wasn't too bad, so I consider myself lucky.

@KeithAmmann @bedirthan That turned out to be an unfortunate on stream recommendation from Matt Mercer.

@KeithAmmann I'm still holding out a sliver of hope for the Chuck Tingle Digital Adventure Game...Estimated delivery Feb 2017.
