Looks like this is still progressing, despite issues with the plastic injection molders. According to updates on the Void Star Studios website, the plastic injection molding machine broke down with the Tact-Tiles mold still inside. Then the manufacturer bumped the sample order multiple times for larger orders.
So hopefully Void Star Studios get the samples soon and we can see a Kickstarter in the near future.

Update!
We received our first 100 sample Tact-Tiles yesterday. These were produced to test inks, fit, flatness, etc. They had a few minor issues, but nothing that can't be fixed relatively easily. And I was able to test the marker adhesion, which proved to stick to the tiles as we'd hoped and easily wipe away clean.
We dropped several off with our silk-screener, who will hopefully (fingers crossed!) be testing the ink today.
Our hope is to have a few sets of "finished" Tact-Tiles to endurance test over the weekend. We're going to be making sure the plastic doesn't scratch too easily and that the ink doesn't chip off or easily scratch away.

My wallet is at the ready!
I posted about it on Prefundia, but thought this was worth mentioning here. We did some testing this weekend, and it turns out the new material is both dry erase and wet erase! This is awesome for GMs who like to pre-draw their maps and need to transport their tiles after.
I also added a comment on pricing.

Hi Crothian
Right now the pricing is looking like this:
Deluxe Set (12 Tiles) - $99.99
Standard Set (9 Tiles) - $76.99
Economy Set (6 Tiles) - $52.99
Booster Set (3 Tiles) - $27.99
THAT'S NOT FINAL. We're still looking at ways to bring the price down before the Kickstarter kicks off. But the sad fact is, compared to the original Tact-Tiles prices, we're looking at about 10 years of inflation on a petroleum based product. And I'm not willing to compromise quality to produce a cheap product.

What sort of surface area would a deluxe set cover?
