There's been a very long news item on the state of the KS and what's been done for INFINTIY Acheron Fall.
https://gamefound.com/fr/projects/r...updates/10?redirect_reason=language_detection
Here are the hot spots:

There are few ships, but they are very large and have turned out spectacular. We are very happy with the result.
Let's update the list of ships:

CORE:
Pano Multipurpose Cruiser - OK
Yu Jing Destroyer - OK
EC Heavy Cruiser - OK
Morat Assault Frigate - OK

Blockade Runners:
Ariadne Drandulet - Pending
Haqqislam Escort Carrier - OK
Nomad Communications Ship - OK
O-12 Patrol Ship - OK

Last Wave:
Shasvastii Destroyer - Pending
Exrah Carrier - Pending
Sigmaa Symbio Frigate - In progress
Onix Diplomatic Frigate - In progress

Add-ons:
Defiance - OK
Yamato Battleship - In progress
Aleph Neo Cruiser - OK
IMAGO - Pending

Stretch Goals:
Pano Frigate - OK
Yu Jing Cruiser - OK
EC Destroyer - In progress
Morat Cruiser - OK
Don Peyote - OK
Raxorah - OK

Once the ships that are in progress are completed (we expect that to happen in a few weeks) there will be just 4 ships left to finish. At the present pace, we believe we will open the pledge manager with all the ships sculpted.

And this month, last news in comments:

From RamPerDesign 01/04/2024 08:08

The pledge manager (and late pledge) will open in May.
Yes, negotiations are underway with Corvus to continue expanding it with more ships and expansions.
It will reach stores, but we are a small company and it will not be in all stores in the world or in all countries.
But in some online stores and in ours (Ramper and Corvus) you will surely be able to get it.

Timeline:

The original timeline hasn't changed much, we already calculated everything with a margin of error. Although the extra margins that we had are depleted, we are still within the original deadlines. We've detailed when things need to be completed to meet the plan. For example, when we need to send the final files for the sculptures or the cardboard.
Here are the important dates. As with the summary of the status, if there are any future changes, we'll let you know in the following updates.
April 30 - Budget confirmed and closed.
May 15 - Sculptures finished and reviewed.
May 30 - Sending files of the extra material (medal, coins, mat...).
July 30 - Final layout to send for review.
August 30 - Final quantities sent.
September 30 - Sending files for the final design of the cardboard.

Pledge Manager:

I know you're eager for us to open the pledge manager. Our original idea was to open it at the end of March or at the latest in April. But we want to launch it with the maximum number of ships and a more advanced version of the rulebook. Our goal is to do it in early May.

Rules:
The rules are being finalized, and they're doing a poll to find out if the public would have a preference for the way the rules are presented.

Translation will, of course, take place once the basic book has been finalized in English (or Spanish, to see what vanilla is for corpos from the Ramper megacorp).

Sculpts:

There was one sculpture left to show you last week: the Sygmaa frigate. Here it is:

Summary:

- Exrah Carrier

- PM is coming.
- Result for layout of rules : Rules in two parts.

StephanDahl · May 16, 2024

The Exrah carrier looks like something out of Moebius/Jodorowsky.

Wizzy · May 16, 2024

Life and maybe algos are very strange, in my twitter feed, Dofresh released this artwork that has exactly the same shape, some species of bees and wasps have the particularity of making hives around branches and trunks, the exrah vessel also has a hive look that would have been created around a vessel. And exrahs are also insect-like.

Hey guys, does anyone know if you can play with what you get from just an add on box, like blockade runners? Or if I pick the defiance I get tokens for crew and energy management?

You need the core box for the command panels and Manoeuvre boards IIRC

No those they say they have on the box, but I don't know what else they have that the core box also has

You get the ship card, but not the manoeuvre panel (IME)

Latest news summary for Ramper Design's Acheron Fall.
https://gamefound.com/fr/projects/ramperdesign/acherons-fall/updates/18

Rulebook:
It's in the text-improvement phase, at the moment they're stuck on rule points to explain simply and without illustration. Nevertheless, they are working on publishing a pdf in English next week for popular critique. And also:
“In addition, we'll be publishing the TTS module we use for testing and demos. This way, you can play games and give us feedback.”
Then the final version of the booklet will be sent to the factory in the next few months.

Ships:
“We're still working on the budget. We sent out the last ships several weeks ago, and as a result, the budget has undergone some changes. We're working with Unicool to finalize it once and for all and get a production date. Until then, we won't have a firm timetable for receiving the game and starting shipping.”

Closing the Pledge Manager:
“Our idea is to close the pledge manager at the end of August or the beginning of September at the latest.”

Still on Track

Pledge Manager Closing:
We closed the pledge manager a bit later than expected, giving some extra time since new backers might come from Essen, where we did demos during the event. However, nearly 20% of backers still haven’t finalized their pledges... That’s quite a high percentage. Keep in mind, we won’t be producing extra stock. We’re a small company, and we can’t invest so much capital in keeping excess material. We hope to do a reprint for distribution in the future, but right now it’s not possible. What does this mean? We need the most accurate production numbers. We’ll give those who haven’t finalized their pledge a little more time, but if they don’t complete it within that period, they’ll only be able to pay for shipping and won’t be able to add extra items or modify their pledge.
Development Timeline:
As you might imagine, the scale of this project and its complexity for a small company like ours has slowed things down more than we would have liked. This was something we anticipated in case the Gamefound campaign was highly successful. We’ve tried to meet the original deadlines, but we did mention during the campaign that if it was very successful, the delivery timeline would be extended. I know this isn’t pleasant for anyone, but it’s normal when you run a successful crowdfunding campaign.
Here’s our current schedule, confirmed with Unicool:

We’re focused on meeting these deadlines. Keep in mind, having delays is a problem for us. We can’t launch new projects until this one is on track (we’ve delayed the launch of the new Takkure team to March/April), and we need these new projects to keep going. So rest assured, we’re doing everything we can to meet these deadlines.

Production:
As you can see from the schedule, all the non-cardboard components have been delivered to Unicool. That’s a huge amount of material: many ships, components, and add-ons. Now, it’s just a matter of making adjustments and preparing everything for production. But this is something that gets done step by step. Meanwhile, we’ll continue developing the remaining content and preparing the files for the cardboard components.

Rulebook:
The rulebook has been reviewed many times over the last month. Huge thanks again to everyone who sent in forms with feedback and corrections. The rulebook is now 100% complete, with lore and advanced rules included. We’ll send it out for further review to make sure everything is correct and continue making any necessary adjustments. We’re also finalizing the cards and ship panels. We’d like to review the graphic design of all the material, but for now, our priority is finishing development so we can test everything thoroughly. During the testing phase, we’ll work on refining the aesthetics.
