Ripper Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hey Everyone, Just a heads up. Novaquark just added an update to Kickstarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Dear backers, Although the Kickstarter finished 10 days ago, our team has still been busy! We’ve barely had time to catch our breath before we look forward to the next phase of development. However, we wanted to take the time to answer the questions we know many of you still have. 8,000 Backers Social Goal Reached, Reward Revealed We were amazed to reach the goal and go significantly beyond it in the final 24 hours. You guys rock!!! If you missed the good news, we revealed the 8,000 backer reward just before the end of the campaign. Every Kickstarter backer will receive a unique and Kickstarter-exclusive blueprint of a single-player hovercraft! (Players will still have to gather the materials to build it.) We will give more info soon. Backer List and Funds Transfer Usually, Kickstarter sends a list of backers between 1-2 weeks after a campaign has ended. For larger campaigns it is usually closer to 2 weeks. It shouldn’t be long before we receive the list. Once we get all the data, we will send you a form to fill out in order to get additional information, like the name reservation for your character(s). As for the funds, we are still waiting to receive them. They should be transferred soon, and we are working with the Kickstarter team to make it happen as soon as possible. Payment Portal Launch and Packs Availability Development of the new payment portal that will help us continue the crowdfunding effort is underway. We want to make sure you understand what will and won’t be available on this new platform, so read on to find out more. There will be two phases: Phase 1 will be short and temporary, starting from the payment portal launch date and going through the end of the year. Packages will be quite similar to the Kickstarter packs, so that those of you who couldn’t pledge during the Kickstarter campaign for various reasons (not being able to pay with PayPal, missing the end date of the Kickstarter, etc.) can still support us. The available Founder packs will have the same number of DACs as the Kickstarter ones. However, they will have a few less perks. The following packs/rewards will not be available because they were all Kickstarter exclusives: Early bird and boosted packs. The rewards tied to social goals (reaching 6,000 and then 8,000 backers), which were name reservations for every backer and the exclusive single-player hovercraft blueprint mentioned above. The Kickstarter outfit for Bronze packs and above, and the in-game pets for Silver packs and above. Phase 2 will begin in January 2017. The Founder packs will be removed permanently, and will be replaced by Supporter packs. The Supporter packs will be significantly different and the price of the DACs slightly higher. Don’t worry, they will still be cheaper than after the official release! For those who like in-game pets and didn’t have the opportunity to get one from the Kickstarter, we plan to make a new one available through an add-on. Update frequency The Kickstarter campaign was very intense, and necessitated frequent updates. While we still plan to update you regularly about the development progress, the updates will come less often than during the Kickstarter. You can still count on hearing from us when we’ve achieved a milestone! If you are interested in more regular communication with us, you can follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. You can also subscribe to our monthly newsletter. We have also some exciting things to share with you that we didn’t have time to tell you about during the Kickstarter, including details about the storyline and guidelines for fan fiction compatible with the official lore. We also have not one, but two community contests planned for November and December, so stay tuned!
