Blamcon Launched! I guess? An Update and the Future

[@Props3D]

I am going to figure out an automatic wire cutting machine when things settle, for now it's just one priority: "Get 'er done"

[@luismoran9269]

Man, a lot of respect for you and your initiative. I hope the best for Blamcon.

[@KevinLopez-bi1op]

Enjoyed following your journey and it's totally worth waiting for the final goals. Stress is temporary but success is long lasting. Keep the faith.

[@JamesLemoine-t2n]

I greatly appreciate everything you've done and can't wait for everything to be ready and get a final product. Keep up the good work.

[@iamrappy8791]

exciting times ahead for Blamcon, hope it goes well, can't wait to order some completed plug and play guns and that you spark a resurgence of the light gun genre

[@ThePlainswalker13]

Thank you for acknowledging your limitations and that this is all new territory. Thank you too, for not Kickstarting this project in light of all of the unknowns. Failed Kickstarters are all too common these days because it seems like those running them are too foolish to admit they don't know everything about the development/production/fulfillment process end-to-end.

[@paulpardee]

I don't always test my code, but when I do, I test in production. Sounds like the start of an amazing adventure!

[@Props3D]

haha, you said it, we were on RC2 when this hiccup happened now we're on RC9, it's been a ride :D

[@johnsandrafoley3401]

Wow you sound stressed. Open and honest emotion you are doing this as a passion hope things settle down soon as you say you are starting out. Be proud your team has done wonders. Looking forward to one day getting one myself in Oz. Persue your goals we are on the journey with you.

[@siraxification]

I'll order a deluxe kit as soon as I can. I can't wait to get building! Amazing work guys! I really feel the excitement you have for your project.

[@Props3D]

Thank you, I have enough parts for a huge amount of them, just picked up some more aircraft aluminum sheets to get the CNC moving. When we restock it'll be a lot and quickly to make sure everyone who wants one has an opportunity. The files are published so you can print any time then just slot the parts in :)

[@adamrandell7946]

Well.... At least you know people want the product I guess 🤣 I'll put my order in next time around, really great the reception was so immediate.

[@Props3D]

It gave me the boost to spend what I should have spent on it a month ago, but honestly I'm supporting a family and it's hard to risk the small amount of stability I have on something because it's 'super fun'. Harder still to explain that to one's significant other..

[@methlonstorm2027]

will be ordering one later hopefully you and the team will get time to take a breath.

[@FattyGuyRiles]

I was curious what happened there. Thanks for the update and all the work.

[@Props3D]

Sorry about going dark after dropping that. I've been madly posting on Discord but wasn't really sure what to say for the first few days. Hard to eloquently explain how you got caught with your pants down

[@DarthTinderalla-qm9zw]

I'm curious of the percentage of people wanting a kit only vs a kit+print and the plug and play versions. I'm probably going to be too impatient for the viper, and get the ready kit. I'll be waiting for the RoboCop or bullpup as finished products.

[@UC0srV8fjklaaFv5K314]

Can you do a vyper kit without the solenoid and camera, but put everything else that’s in the basic kit for $100

[@MobileDecay]

Sounds like a lot of fun. 😂

[@wylekyotinlv]

These are great! I will be ordering 2 deluxe kits as soon as they are available again. Also: could there be a deluxe complete kit for two guns that has everything without unnecessary duplicate items. Or which kits would you recommend for a complete deluxe 2 gun setup.

[@ThePerfectStormGaming]

The FUTURE!!!

[@idc2120]

FYI Its bad practice in some countries to display a "Sale price" when that's the price an item has always been. In the UK it must be at the original price for more than 29 days within the previous 6 months. I'm not sure if new products can immediately go on sale.

[@Props3D]

I marked all the prices down because it was dropped early, I make that clear in the text at the top of the store. I think this is a fair way to handle the situation, and after considering your feedback I feel that I'm still in the right place from my reality. I don't think I'm giving people a full picture of the project and they're taking some risk so should be compensated. But thank you for the honest feedback, it's appreciated :)

[@idc2120]

@@Props3D No problem, appreciate the discount. Just don't want you to get into any trouble. :)

[@Props3D]

​@@idc2120 I'm in Canada fortunately and opening sales are totally cool here, as long as that doesn't become one of those 'permanent discounts' which is what I think that reg was trying to address. I did look it up and read it, thank you for that.
