Is it common to not meet deadlines as stated in KSs?

That's what I fear. I hope Ares makes deadline, if for no other reason than to secure goodwill.

Hope your correct about Ares, Michael.

If they are delayed by a month (maybe even two), then I think there is no permanent harm. Beyond that, then yes, people will grumble. One can only hope that all will be forgiven if the final product meets or exceeds expectations.

To give you a sense of how these delays can occur through no fault of the company, just recall the delay with seeing the smoke markers, as Keith dealt with the prototypes. It happens.

Sadly, yes. There is no quality control with KS projects, and some are far more amateurish than others. Even with the "pros", there are established game companies (like Steve Jackson Games) which fall behind schedule with their KS projects (OGRE in that case) through no fault of their own. Having said that, Ares is an established company with existing product lines, and I think the August deadline is realistic.
