Hello everyone.
We've reached the almighty "24 hours left mark”!
We're of course so extremely thankful to everyone who has backed us already and helped us smash through the 100% goal so quickly. We owe a big thank you to our existing community who inspired us to do this and showed their support from the start, as well as all the new faces who saw our project here and believed in us.
New feature video for tomorrow
We've got a new feature video all ready and waiting to mark the completion of the campaign set for tomorrow. It focuses on some of the location variety our team have been working on over the last few months and a bit of the lore behind each.
And while you are here, just two important announcements that apply to a handful of people.
Reminder to check your pledge add-ons
We've seen some people have taken add-ons for things they are already getting in their base reward. We messaged every one of you personally yesterday, but this is another reminder. If you don't want to be charged extra for something already included in your tier, you need to adjust your pledge before the campaign ends.
A very easy rule to follow - if you pledged on ANY tier above “The Pilot" for 25 EUR, you shouldn't choose any add-ons. There is no combination of add-ons above this tier where you will be getting anything for that price that isn't already included in a standalone tier. If you need to check again, use our guide.
There are only 3 add-ons you can select
1 - Soundtrack| 5 EUR
2 - Artbook | 5 EUR
3 - Founders Item Pack (Founders artifiact + poster + animated artifact) | 15 EUR
So if you pick any tier that is The Scavenger or above, you'll just be charged extra for something you likely would get anyway.
To anyone supporting a Kickstarter project for the first time
Your connected payment method will only be charged tomorrow after the campaign ends. However, we have observed on other people's projects that some of their community said their bank blocked Kickstarter the first time. So you may need to approve the charge as a trusted source. Every bank is different so how that process may look for you is unknown to us. But if anything, tomorrow once the campaign ends, go check if the payment appears on your side.
If not, Kickstarter gives you 7 days to try correct or verify and complete your payment. After that, the system counts you as an incomplete purchase and you won't be charged but you also won't be given backer access or rewards. That's all for now.
See you again here in 24 hours!
