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

I completely agree about this project making Kickstarter seem very risky. More than any other project I’ve seen fail, Super Dungeon Legends seemed quite free of risk (the company and property were well established, and they had delivered two Kickstarters before- both were similar in scope to SDEL).

But I think the evidence is that they’re trying to find some way to fix it- it is just that they haven’t succeeded at all yet. That’s actually the motivation for the radio silence (and it has worked for several other companies that found themselves in this sort of problem).

As limburger noted:

“The only odd thing is that they haven’t filed for bankruptcy yet.
You’d think that with zero funds and effectively zero employees that would be the expected result.

OTOH once that happens any hope of ever seeing the pledges is reduced to zero.
As such it is a bit of good news.”

So they might file for bankruptcy, but that means that the backers definitely won’t get their stuff. As it stands, the backers probably won’t get their stuff.

I’m not sure how long they can hold on, since it looks like they owe Archon a significant sum, and failed to work out a deal.
