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

Sadly things are worse than that letter says, Archon/Prodos has been doing their resin casting for them and have posted on one of their KS projects today in response to a backer question about Soda Pop/Ninja division

 

“It won’t be an official statement as we need to wait until Thursday when CEO of Archon will be holding a meeting with Ninja Division about this situation. However, the fact is that we are on hold with all Ninja Division projects due to lack of payment (Starfider, Relic Knights as well as Humble Bundle – Paizo is still not paid). This should not, however, affect what we are doing, as external contracts are about 15% of total Archons turnover. The worst-case scenario is that Archon will have to cover all the manufacturing losses, and this could mean that some of our FUTURE internal projects could be delayed, but that’s nothing major. Anyway, please wait for an official statement. We are all hoping that ND will find some solution. Thanks.

so despite my initial hope it looks like the manufacturing money from the Starfinder KS wasn’t paid out/ringfenced and has just been swallowed up in operating expenses, so I guess that unless they can sell themselves or bring in an investor with deep pockets and an apetite for significant risk they’re done
