Jupiter must be a Circle of Hell

[aquajimbo]

I decided to email Playroom about J22's criminal lack of expansions yesterday. I knew it was a long shot. I knew the type of response I'd receive. but I still cannot help but be a little dismayed at the thought of this game never seeing it's intended completion. Copied below is Playroom's response:

Hello Jimmy,

Thank you for contacting us! Unfortunately we don't have a release date for the next expansion to KB Jupiter just yet. As a fan of the game, we understand that this can be frustrating, and we apologize for that. With so many products in the Killer Bunnies line now, though, we need to be careful to stagger the releases of our various KB products so that its fans don’t feel bombarded (and bankrupted!) by having everything come out at once. Unfortunately this can lead to delays for some specific titles.

The end of the email prompted me toward Heroes v. Villains (which, admittedly, I still haven't picked up), but this is no warm blanket for my Jupitorial fears.

Since it has been about a year since Heroes v. Villains, the excuse isn't even valid.

I emailed them back asking:

Thanks for your response! Are you allowed to say whether the J2J booster(s) have any intention from Playroom of being released? Or will they continue in their arbitrary space-drift? Is there no release date because it just hasn't yet been determined, or because there is no intention of setting one and the boosters will remain unreleased (for whatever business-related reasons that I have no right to know)?

I actually haven’t yet picked up H v. V, but I do plan to. (It’s the only Bunnies-related titles I don’t have!)

It just seems to me that there is so much that has been hinted (or assumed) up to this point: Jupiter boosters, Conquest boosters, Psychic Penguins…
I’m anxious to add to my group’s gaming frenzy!

To which they again replied:

We can assure you that we do still plan to continue with KB Jupiter. Initially we had planned to have already released the next expansion by this point, but unfortunately we had to push that back. This is why we’ve decided that it is best to not speculate on our next release date, until we can be certain that it won’t change. Please don’t think, however, that this means that we have given up on the project all together. We do also plan to move forward with more KB Conquest Boosters, however, we can tell you that we will not be moving forward with Psychic Penguins after all.

We really appreciate your support of the line, and hope that you end up enjoying Heroes vs. Villains as much as we do!

Seems hopeful, if only slightly.
