Project FAQ
We are still working on a Second Edition of AIT and we have every hope to bring a fully realized version of AIT with a high-quality production to crowdfunding soon.
We've have been working with Backerkit since our very first Kickstarter project and have always been impressed with the professionalism of their team and the care with which they handled our projects. Over the past couple of years, BackerKit has been building out a really great crowdfunding platform as an alternative to Kickstarter. Although we still love our partners at Kickstarter, we wanted to see what BackerKit had to offer. Their platform was built with direct involvement from creators like Wehrlegig to feature tools and policies we always wanted to see on Kickstarter. This includes, among other things, a offering creators a clear set of policies with respect to blockchain technologies and AI-generated content. We're proud to be their partners and help them launch their crowdfunding platform.
No! We love sharing unfinished games during crowdfunding campaigns to show our backers how our work changes and grows over time. We are still refining mechanical and thematic groundwork of Molly House, so there is work to be done still on everything from art and layout to balance and flavor text. Physical component design may change a bit too, but everything is relatively representative of what we expect from the final production copies and won't change too drastically from what we're imagining.
We hope so! Right now, we're only making English language versions of Molly House. After we complete the game and start the first printing, we'll start talking with our language localization partners for future collaborations on Molly House collaborations.
Hopefully someday. We pride ourselves in primarily being supported by backers like you! This direct model allows us to spend a higher amount of the budget on quality components and art. We also work with many brick and mortar, online retailers, only recently US distributors that want to sell our games. If you want your local game store to stock anything Wehrlegig, they can reach out to us over at [email protected] and hopefully they will place a retail order with us!
Shipping costs are charged after the campaign, usually processed around 1 month away from delivery! These rates are calculated by the size and weight of your parcel and especially the country of delivery. For folks ordering multiple games, your shipping charge is going to increase by about 40% the additional weight and box size. Multiple games makes things more expensive to move around the world! If you need an exact estimate for shipping an especially larger order, start a thread in the discussion or send an email to [email protected] for us to help you plan for that order.
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.
