TDK August Monthly Update

[u/VaquitaPorpoise]

Hey TDP fandom! Hope everyone is having a good month and a welcoming start to the fall season. We have a lot to cover in the progress of the TDK kickstarter as well as exclusive updates we have received from the Wonderstorm team. Let’s review all the kinds of TDK content, news and updates we’d received throughout the entire month of August!

Aaron and Justin hosted a TDP watch party on the TDP discord server to celebrate with the fandom for reaching over 10,000 followers on the TDK kickstarter. It was recorded and the videos are available to watch on the official TDP YouTube channel in case you missed the event. We managed to watch the following episodes with Aaron and Justin discussing the development and character storylines:

The Final Battle season 3 episode 9

Moment of Truth season 6 episode 6

Nova season 7 episode 9

Wonderstorm announced they’ll be attending at NYCC 2025 hosting a panel to reveal more surprises for the TDK Kickstarter campaign.

Justin unexpectedly announced that the TDK kickstarter will launch on September 16 as well as revealing new concept art of Soren!

Wonderstorm attended the PAX event hanging out with the fandom in person for 4 whole days straight winning prizes, making art, getting exclusive buttons, even receiving extreme clothing!

Aaron Ehasz mentioned in his Twitter account something about attending a Comic Con in Africa? I didn’t know Africa hosted Comic Con! Learned something new!

This is all the TDK news, content and updates that we received throughout the month of August! GET READY FOR THE TDK KICKSTARTER TO LAUNCH ON SEPTEMBER 16th! CAN’T WAIT!!!

Other than just give prizes and doing activities not much really happened at PAX when it came to new info.

The whole watch party was pretty much meh, cause it in many ways reinforced what people already felt/thought when it came to how they handled the writing and the characters.

Also Silksong releases in September, so a lot of money is going to be used buying that lol

As for the Kickstarter? All I can really say is reality is likely to be very crushing.

I'm going to assume the Kickstarter will last for 60 days to maximise the chances of them reaching there goal whatever it is, assuming it's something small. Because they sure as hell aren't getting $10,000,000 to fund an entire season.

If it's for 30 days and they expect an entire seasin to be funded... well that's an impressive amount of delusion.

Either way this Kickstarter is going to make or obliterate them.

I'm pretty sure this KS is being used to bring awareness & not solely 2 fund a season. For every Vox Machina success story on KS there's like 10 that fail.

If they are funding for a season at best (being a longshot) they may get enough for a pilot episode.

The purpose of the Kickstarter, as they say is to get funding so they can find a new streaming service. But if we're reading between the lines, they absolutely want enough to fund a season, so they can use that as proof. This Kickstarter is a double edged sword. If it doesn't do well, everyone's going to know.

Wonderstorm are in a position where it's pretty much a well known universal fact, that The Dragon Prince already had seven seasons beforehand on Neflix. A series that they intentionally chose to not even bother trying to finish. With the viewing figures of said show being public knowledge.

Getting enough funding to make a single pilot episode, to pitch to a streaming service is not going to cut it. In fact that would look pathetic.

If I was a streaming service, and I saw their supposed fanbase, only gave them enough funding for a single pilot episode. While also knowing that Neflix refused to Greenlit addition seasons. I wouldn't even dream of taking such a risk, investing my money in a series that's clearly declining.

expecting a substancial amount of money from KS is idiotic. No way. They have hired or contracted Voice Actors. I wont believe they need the funding from KS for the production. I believe this is about seeing the fan base making a case for the Streaming Services.
