Project FAQ
The tabletop and digital gaming worlds are different. The changes and updates to the game are significant enough that we believe most players would consider this to be a new game as opposed to an update to the existing game. We also know that there is a vibrant community of players who don't want to see Sentinels 1 go away. Treating what is called the "Definitive Edition" as a sequel, we believe, will make the most fans happy while giving people the most ways to enjoy Sentinels of the Multiverse.
If you've been with us for a while, you probably know about our ongoing frustrations with regards to including mobile players in our crowd-funding campaigns. Luckily, in recent years Apple has opened up... a bit. What this means for you is that every Steam copy of the game includes a bonus mobile unlock of the game as well! One pledge gets you both, you'll just need to tell us in your survey whether you'd like your copy for iOS or Android. So think of it like this - Steam players get a bonus mobile copy, Mobile players get a bonus Steam copy!
Becoming a beta team member means you will get access to the private beta of the game via Steam and/or mobile ahead of any retail or Early Access launch. You will play the game to help us discover bugs, report them, and help us make sure the game is as good as it can possibly be. Beta testers have access to a dedicated private Discord channel and Trello board to communicate directly with the developers. And it's not just before launch! We keep the beta team active throughout the life of the game, so testers are always trying out new stuff first.
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.
