Parchment Maps
Hey UA Backers,
While we are very excited to say that shipping for UA has begun, we did quickly realize an oversight in the campaign that we are hard at work fixing now.
The Legendary Hero tier and tiers above it were meant to come with a Parchment Map. FanGamer is already hard at work getting those manufactured and sent out. Those that have already received their orders will be receiving their maps separately, and those orders that have not yet been sent out by FanGamer will receive their maps with their games as originally planned.
If there are questions about orders, please send us an email at support@otherside-e.com so we can best assist you.
Thank you for your patience with this!

I keep wanting to forget all memories about Underworld Ascendant, but every two months they send me an email related to it.
And to put the cigar on the wound one guy is making the exact thing most people wanted using fucking magic or something.So is this more System Shock or more Legend of Grimrock?
This is more a tech demo a few third-year students threw together over a year, so that scammer daddy Paul Neurath had something to release to the suckers (myself included) who gave him a million dollars on Kickstarter.

Can't we just convert this thread to a "Monomyth"-thread to finally end this spook?
Catching up on the posts from here, even I'm a little confused; how was the map lost? FG didn't ship all of the pieces of the CE's at once?
Yeah, I know the exact map it was supposed to be. Fangamer should have had it in the folder we delivered even before we left, but I understand there were a lot of moving pieces
I'm trying to recall what happened for the Box vs Disc Case. KS backers can rightfully be angry about this.
nobody pays 200$ for a DVD case
I completely understand that, and I think you all have the right to be angry. I know for sure that when I joined in 2017, nothing had been started on any of the KS rewards; I had to spearhead, manage, and run most of that. From asset preparation, negotiating dev time, etc
So when the KS was initially launched, I am 100% certain that when they said "CE box" or "boxed edition," they were also thinking about true Boxed editions, like the old Thief and Underworld games
I think overall it's a shame that there were a lot of physical and digital promises made in the KS that just... weren't thought of once development began. Or couldn't be worked on. Certainly a mix of both.
For example, by the time I joined, it had already been decided there were no customizable Avatar players, which meant we had to really think about how to rectify the figurine reward. I don't remember the details of the Box -> Case, or whether that was a dev or a FanGamer limitation, unfortunately
My biggest hesitation is that I genuinely don't remember what the cost estimate for the boxed editions were. If I had to wager a guess, a part of it was our demand, and that we weren't interested in selling more CE's than what we would give to our KS backers, which would incur a large cost
I wonder if the Ascendant novel in hardcover will exist
It should? I remember negotiating with Fangamer for those too
That's a whole other story that's definitely NDA'dI also like pointing that we were promised a novel but got a novella
Got a PO box? If not, rent one for a month and make the address public. Collect all these physical goods and make a proper pyre.Just send me something official, anything at all, so I can burn it on video. Frankly, the more pathetic it is the better.
