Reply To: (KS) Ninja Division/Soda Pop out of money for Super Dungeon Explore: Legends

Sodapop/Ninja Division has created 7 funded KS projects (the first WotF attempt was cancelled).  They delivered, in full on 3 of them (Forgotten King, Ninja All Stars, Rail Raiders Infinite) and delivered in part on two (Way of the Fighter, Starfinder).  They have 0% delivery on Super Dungeon Legends and Relic Knights 2nd edition (both projects have only print and play files available).

Sodapop have always seemed like they had growing pains- like the company was always smaller than they could handle.  During SDL development, they brought in extra people (especially Justin) and I think that increased their expenses quite a bit- and it is clear that Super Dungeon sales were covering a LOT of their previous expenses (and SDE sales are WAY down from where they used to be).

Ultimately, if they could get either of the Super Dungeon box sets into the store, the company and game would probably be able to recover.  It seems to me that if they are able to sell their company for their Kickstarter obligations (basically, you get the properties free so long as you send backers their stuff) then that would be the best thing for the properties.  Remember, Super Dungeon had a really good name- it used to be CMON’s top selling game before it was NJ’s top selling game.

So it just comes down to whether or not there is anyone who feels like the property is worth the investment at this point.  To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure, but the potential is there.
