The Kickstarter was canceled. with only 3 days left they had 67 backers with a total pledge amount of $2,894 of the requested $450,000.

In a message posted on the page they will launch another kickstarter for this again in a few months when the game is further along in development and Alpha version game play can be demonstrated.

You would have figured they would have gotten the message from all the posts made on the site that NO ONE wants this. Its a Phone game and from the comments here and on the kickstarter page not one person was excited for this at all.

Little update, 13 days to go and they have only raised $2,566 with 61 backers. That leaves them $447,434 to raise... Fail isn't a good enough word to describe this entire undertaking.

Okay a couple things I have learned. Out of the funds raised in a kickstarter, Kickstarter itself will claim around 50% of the funds in Fee's and other expenses. So their in reality going to only get $225,000 if they get fully funded. Still a rather large amount to ask for a Phone App.

Second someone asked this question :

"What is the update on Universal Pictures and the WoT"

and this response was given :

"We checked with Red Eagle Entertainment and are delighted to share that the product is in active development and the screenplay is in process."

So not only can't Red Eagle get the game the promised us made, the movie is still in Scripting....4 years of scripting... who is doing it? A one eyes, one fingered person suffering from Parkinson? I don't think even Lord Of The Ring's Shooting Script took this long to write.

One thing I really just noticed. The game will be designed like a Zynga game if I read the kickstarter correctly. With Micro-Transactions taking place inside the game's programming for players to "Buy" upgrades items and expansions ... In other words, they want us to Pay them to make the game then Pay them to get the stuff in the game that makes it worth playing ... Um .. that realization just made this even worse. Currently at 3:42am on 8/16/2012 they have 21 backers for a total of $733.00 and 27 days left ... that leaves them another $449,267 to raise... unless some deep pockets start donating I am happy to say I don't think their going to make it.

You can direct buy each issue or subscriptions from Dynamite's website located here

Just type "Wheel Of Time" in the search bar at the top right corner of the page.

@Metal Head The WoT comics were bought by Dynamite Comics. They are still being released monthly. Ask your local comic shop to get it in for you and they should. But as its being released as a monthly comic and each comic containing only about a chapter or 2 per issue it takes a while to publish the whole thing. I believe 2 collected trades are already out and available on Amazon which have I believe 6 issues apiece in them. The total comic run is expected at 34 or 35 issues. Issue #29 is released this month and has Rand's meeting with Elayne.

Just looked at the kickstarter page, 11 backers for a total of $382.00 ... 29 days left ... that leaves them a total of $449,618 to generate in the remaining time.

I don't see this happening ...

I asked a Question about the Console game REG said it was making. The reply I got makes it clear that the Console project is dead.

Todd,

Our strategy for development, much like the industry itself, has matured over that last several years and we will enter the market with social/mobile products. REG continues to enjoy a relationship with EA for worldwide distribution of retail package products. Obsidian remains a friend of REG but is not active in this product environment.

Hope you will agree that the arena we are entering is exciting and a great venue for the world of Robert Jordan."

REE/REG should let the rights revert. Their asking for $450k for a App Game. There are some Console games that don't have budgets that large. Their asking for the moon and their not going to get it. I'll admit I don't do mobile gaming. I use my phone for a Phone and nothing more. When I want to play a game I want a real game. Console or PC nothing else. I don't own a handheld system I don't want one. I don't play games when I am out and about. When I leave my house I do so with something in mind and it honestly never occurs to me to take time out of that to sit down and play a game. Besides Mobile games for all they can do can not stand up to the detail and complexity a Console or PC game can give. They are completely different experiences and given the depth of the source material their working from Mobile Gaming is not the arena they want to launch with. It doesn't have the capability to be as deep or as enthralling as it could be nor as entertaining. If this was done as a Console or PC game it could be much much better. A game like this with the combat style of say Assassin's Creed would work perfectly. Were not going to get that from REE/REG/

Okay lets look at the progression of this. Back in 2008 Universal buy's the Movie rights to WoT with REE acting as the production company to actually make it. Then REE spins off REG to make video games based on the novels and movies. Red Eagle Games hasn't announced ANYTHING since mid 2009 When a distrubition deal with EA and a partnership with Obsidian was announced to make and produce the first Console WoT Game. Now in late 2012 Instead of a announcment of that console game or news on the progression of the movie we get news of a App Game...One they can't get private funding for and so are going to Kickstarter....Harriet really needs to get the rights away from these people.
