Waste Knights 2nd edition - par Galakta Games

Je m’étais hypé à mort sur ce jeu, mais l’absence de VF au final m’avait fait abandonné mon pledge.
Me demande si ça a des chances de sortir en VF un jour mais je ne suis pas optimiste…

J ai pas l impression que ça sortira en vf sauf raz de marée de super critique. (je dis ça mais j ai pris le all in) par contre il y aura le retard classique de 6 mois 1 an

Le sujet de la VF avait été mis sur le tapis à l’époque, mais bon, 158 backers, quoi (et pas mal de texte, en plus). C’était donc totalement inenvisageable.

Salut,

Update #49 :

Greetings Knights!

We hope that all of you are OK and starving for some premium post-apo experience! As promised in the last update and in the comments, we come back to you with the latest news on the status of the project – and what a piece of great news it is! Our team is super busy working in the badlands to bring you the game, therefore this time we have some hard facts for you in this quick update.

The most important – and the happiest for us as creators – thing happened this week. Our long-awaited shipment of components from China was delivered to the warehouse at our Cracow company HQ. In order to guarantee that nothing gets damaged, we had chosen a big container to lay out the boxes evenly and avoid any issues that could result from stacking them. Especially that these are almost 2 tons of wasteland goodness ! Below you can see a couple of photos from the biggest “unboxing” in the history of our internal projects :wink:

We immediately went through the stuff to check the component count, its final quality, and the state of the minis after such a long voyage – fortunately, everything looks great . Making the trays was a good idea and we believe you will be just as pleased once you get the stuff into your hands.

Below you can also see in detail the full set of elements for the game – at least the ones which we manufactured in China. All other stuff has either already been made (such as wooden laser-cut elements for the Remnants of Civilization expansion) or is scheduled to be made soon in Poland. We will then complete your orders and send them to proper logistic hubs.

Regarding the development progress, we have finished Rise of the Red Lord, which is the final SG adventure – it’s playtested and now is being proofread in preparation for translation. At this point we are adding some finishing touches to Deadly Cargo, the last adventure from the Through the Waste expansion , and we believe all adventures to be ready at the end of next week.

Basically, as all game components except for the books are already done, all that’s left is to finish the translation, editing and final proofreading of the adventures. We plan to send the production files for the paper elements (cards and big books, as they are the most time consuming) around mid-August . This is also the moment when we would like to get back to you with another big update on the production schedule.

This is more less everything we have for you this time. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know as usual. In the meantime, our team is focused on the technical work to finish everything without any further delays.

See you in the Waste!

Galakta Team

Ha c’est un KS que je regrette presque de ne pas avoir pris. j’avais buté sur le Pas de VF, pis je le sentais pas coté communication, du coup j’avais cancellé mon pledge. On verra quand les backers joueront !

Bonjour,

Update #51 (bientot l’impression!) :

Game complete…and on its way to printing!

Greetings Knights!

As the Covid situation is escalating, we sincerely hope that you are holding on no matter what and staying as far away from this wicked virus as possible. We are getting back to you after a while with news on the project and we feel that you will like what we have to say.

First of all, we wish to announce that we have completed work on the game and we are ready with the production files for the English edition . We have already sent them to our manufacturer and we should get the proofs for acceptance soon. It means that the first stage of production, i.e. the printing process, has begun. We plan the first batch of games to be ready for the beginning of December.

Then the palettes will be sent to the logistics company, which is responsible for custom-designed, dedicated outer boxes to keep your games perfectly safe . The company will prepare everything for shipping and we hope that the first packages will reach you around mid-December .

We will tell you more about localized editions (Polish, German) soon in a separate update, but rest assured that work is in progress in case of both.

Secondly, as you have been waiting much longer than expected for the game, we decided to provide you with some added value and squeezed more stuff into your KS copies of the game. Besides the extra content we will provide via PDF, we have 12 more cards for you.

Check out the legendary Drop Bear , the scourge of all unwary (non-Australian) travelers through dry scrub of the outback. Join the Cattle Drive and decide for yourselves how much damage you are willing to suffer to get what you need most. Reach for the RPG – a one-shot weapon able to annihilate even the toughest target. Or maybe you want to load Mankillers into your gun and make sure your enemy stays dead?

On top of that, we added 8 Adventure Cards , which you may use to randomly choose the next scenario to play, or in future game modes we have planned. Of course, all 12 cards will be added to both the Knight and the Veteran pledges , because everyone has shown equal patience for the project :wink:

More news on the production process will be revealed in the coming weeks, and in the meantime we would like to invite you to check a smashing KS campaign from our partner, Pendragon Game Studio . It’s The Thing: The Boardgame , a thematic title based on a cult horror movie from the '80s, which will enable you to cooperate, betray and assimilate! We will be working on the Polish edition of this game and our team has already played it, therefore we can safely say it’s something worth backing. If you wish to learn more, just click the link below:

That’s all for today. Expect more news from us regarding the final stage of fulfilment for Waste Knights: Second Edition and other projects waiting to be revealed to you. As usual, feel free to comment and ask questions. We will do our best to answer. And, of course, stay healthy!

See you in the Waste!

Bonjour,

Update #52 :

Shipping getting closer, time to wrap things up, English Backers!

Greetings Knights!

It seems we live in such troubled times that whenever we meet, we have to start from saying that we hope everyone stays healthy. As to our team, despite the overall craziness and gloom, we keep working and soon we will all see the final results of your great support and our effort.

We would like to inform you that unless something completely unexpected happens, we should be ready with the English version of Waste Knights: Second Edition for mid-December. The production is going very well, everything starting from the cards and ending with the boxes and inserts is long-accepted and being manufactured as we speak. All in all, we have managed to keep the schedule we mentioned in the last update and now things are in the firm hands of the professionals we hired to make this project a tangible board game. We hope to get a couple of photos from the production line and show them to you soon. Below you can check out the final look of the box and the plastic, dedicated, two-level insert custom-made for the game. Just to let you know – the Big Box will accommodate all SGs and Add-ons plus an extra set of dice if you choose to get one.

If everything goes according to the plan, the games will be shipped from the factory directly to the logistics company that will start sending them in the second half of December. Due to the unclear situation with Brexit, we will do our best to send all the games that were ordered from the UK before the end of the year to make sure the political situation does not affect your pledges.

Considering all this, we would also like to set up 20th of November, so a week from now, as the deadline for you to finally wrap up your orders in Gamefound. If you wish to change your pledges (for Veteran, hopefully), get some extras, or make any address changes, now is the time. After this date we will not accept any further changes or refunds as the games are already in production and the logistics company needs time to prepare shipping lists, individual orders and such.

Important: If you have any questions, or encounter any issues with your orders or with your Gamefound accounts, please contact us here: shippingks@galakta.pl If your pledges are OK, and you do not want to change anything, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED – simply wait for the information from the delivery company.

We hope that the shipping process will progress smoothly, however with almost 4000 English orders to fulfill we will probably need time until mid-January – especially since some of you decided to take only 1 or 2 Add-ons, or got some extra stuff, such as dice, which means handling certain copies will be more time-consuming.

Regarding the Polish and German versions – both are being translated and edited. We hope to keep our earlier declarations and have these versions ready around 3 months after the English one. This means that we should start sending the games to you at the end of Q1 2021. We will be more accurate with the dates closer to the end of this year as the translation is massive. We will also inform you about the closing deadline for orders when we finally schedule the start of the production process.

Additionally, below you can find the final version of the rulebook and the KS Guide – the leaflet containing all the additional components and rules for the SGs and Add-ons. Maybe it will inspire you to go full Veteran, if you haven’t already :wink:

Waste Knights 2ed KS Guide

Basically, that’s the most important information regarding the state of the project. If you have any questions or problems, please let us know. Also, remember to handle your English Gamefound orders, if you still have something to deal with and brace yourselves for the last spell of waiting. You are standing on the sand-covered doorstep to ruined Australia!

See you in the Waste!

J’ai parcouru les commentaires sur ce fil, je vois que l’absence de VF en a freiné plus d’un. Ceux qui on pledgé, des avis, retours à partager ?

Il obtient 7.8 sur BGG, ce qui est plutôt pas mal je trouve, et une traduction fanmade a vu le jour.

18 messages ont été scindés en un nouveau sujet : Waste Knights: Beyond the Horizon - par Galakta Games - fin le 18 mai

Pas mieux, je serais preneur aussi. J’avais laché en cours de campagne.
J’esperais une VF, le sujet reviendra peut etre pour l’extension, ils vont surement proposer la re impression.

Ce que je peux vous en dire, c’est que le matos est de bonne qualité, que tout tient dans la boîte (ce qui est appréciable) et que le prix (du 1er KS, s’entend) n’est pas délirant du tout compte tenu du contenu.

Maintenant, pour ce qui est du gameplay… euh, pile de la honte, j’en ai peur, mais j’espère bien que l’extension sera une bonne excuse pour l’en faire sortir. Thunderstone Quest est prévu avant (et un peu plus d’Apex, aussi), plus sans doute un peu de X-nited qui devrait arriver d’un jour à l’autre, mais sinon, après, ça devrait être plus calme, on devrait pouvoir l’envisager, entre deux parties de Tang Garden et éventuellement Foundations of Rome.

Pfff, c’est que c’est pas facile, la vie d’ex-backer un peu trop compulsif, ma bonne dame… :sweat_smile:

le probleme pour la vf , c’est qu il y a bcp bcp de texte de narration il a ete propose a des « petits » editeurs mais qui n’ont pas forcement l’infrastructure pour cette quantite de trad.
mais wait and see

bonjour
concernant la campagne kickstarter en cours :

savez vous si pour cette extension il faut absolument la boite de base pour y jouer , ou si cette extension est un standalone ?

merci

Bonsoir,

Il te faut le jeu de base deuxième édition pour pouvoir jouer à cette extension.

Si tu veux y a un sujet dédié

merci , je me suis dirigé vers le forum dédié pour poser mes questions

Je n’ai aucune idée de ce donty il s’agit, je vois juste que Philibert aurait rentré des « Kickstarter upgrade » ?

c’est un upgrade de la version retail vers la version KS (hors exclu), je crois

En tout cas, ils tentent de marger comme des porcs sur cette extension :smiley:
