Official Update from Clockwork
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2019 4:16 pm
Here's the official announcement from Clockwork Publishing regarding the delayed crowdfunding campaign. TL:DR - Kickstarter's fault 
"Dear fellow Minion Hunters. We have good and bad news for you today:
The good news is that we finally found out what the problem with the approval process for our Kickstarter was. Turns out that Kickstarter treats a German-language project by our "sister company" as being from the same creator, despite it being a separate company and legal entity (with a seperate staff working on it and it being for a completely different audience). But since the company is also owned by our boss, Kickstarter doesn't differentiate and we triggered an automatic "not more than one project by the same creator"-error.
The bad news is that this will of course delay our Kickstarter for the fourth edition of Dark Conspiracy a little bit. It will probably take about two to three weeks before we can launch the project anew so we ask for a little more patience. On the plus side: by then we'll probably be able to show even more artwork than we could have shown with the original schedule. So stay tuned!
We will of course keep you posted about the status of the project."
The Facebook post also contained first peek at the all-new artwork!
