Project FAQ
I've been working on the comic since 2023! If you're interested, you can check that out here: https://tapas.io/series/Create-a-Companion
A Simultaneous Play Game is a tabletop game without turns, rather, everyone plays at the same time, making decisions, rolling dice, or selecting options together/independently. In CaC: FR, players all roll their dice together, resolve customers, and gain crystals.
Glad you asked! Single player is played closer to a rogue like, where each round the player collects more of the Enchanted Heart cards, and can stack them, unlike multiplayer where heart cards are limited one per team member. This balances the solo employee a little bit to give them a fighting plan to meet the sales plan goal!
I'm working with different local partners to potentially have them in shops. For now, they'll be available here and at conventions! More on some of the other parts soon(ish).
Unfortunately, once the BackerKit has processed your payment method, I will be placing things into production based on the funds raised. As soon as that happens, I cannot process any refunds. If you receive a defective/damaged copy of the game, or have any issues with what you receive I am happy to exchange your order with another of what you received! I'll just need pictures showing the problems you're experiencing and I'll hop right to getting it corrected. All I need is for you to pay return shipping from you to me, and I'll cover shipping from me to you. Exceptions may include if the postal service damaged the product during transit. Then we'll need to file a claim with them first before we can process the exchange.
Your shipping cost goes towards paying the VAT and other shipping fees. I will be shipping backed projects to the UK! Please see my "Shipping" section in the story for further information.
Absolutely! If you have any sort of VAT or import tax, most times I can use your shipping fee to cover that plus the general cost to ship. However, there may be additional fees and declarations I'm not aware of, or some VAT weirdness that doesn't get caught, and are up to the recipient to sort upon reaching your postal system.
BackerKit is awesome because you can pledge now and pay later! You only need to pay once the campaign has ended which you'll get a reminder for via email.
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 doesnβt, 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.
