BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
When will I get my treats?
As the game is written and we have no add-ons or stretch goals, this will be a quick-turnaround. We will begin printing in the first week of April and look to have everything out to backers who have completed their surveys in before the end of April.
Why are there no stretch goals?
Because this game has all the goodness it needs without any extra fluff. Plus we want it in your hands quick which means all need to do is print the books which takes us days rather than months.
How come you've launched this when Wires in The Woods isn't fulfilled?
Because they are two very different beasts. Wires in the Woods is a game with much more production that will take longer to produce and fulfill. Unleashed will be fulfilled within a few weeks of the campaign ending.
What animal is next?
We've done crows, cats and now dogs. I think that will do for now. Please don't ask us for racoons. We are not doing racoons.
