Project FAQ
Railbreak VR is important to the development of Outbreak: Shades of Horror for several reasons. If this project is successful and our stretch goal to add post-launch support for Outbreak: Shades of Horror is successful, it will give us the time to prototype, test, and productionize VR concepts that can be integrated into that future title post launch, and allow us to build a far more immersive and exciting game.
We have the goal of launching the Tailbreak Expansion Pack and Railbreak VR in October 2024 and will deliver digital codes for both of those products at that time. For all other digital games offered as part of this campaign, we intend to deliver those codes in April 2024 to backers.
We are planning to offer a limited beta testing demo to campaign backers of Railbreak VR prior to launch.
Our goal with Railbreak VR is to offer a digital game for the leading VR storefronts. Supporting physical versions of the game would increase overhead dramatically, and we want the budget and the campaign to be focused on raising the resources necessary to build this game, not spending them on physical add-ons.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
