BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
Why capybaras? 🥭
Capybaras are not only adorable and social animals, but they also play a unique role in nature.🍌 In Cute and Aggressive, we aim to highlight the importance of wildlife conservation and bring visibility to these amazing animals through our games. 🌳 For this one, we designed the game to reflect their natural behaviors, incorporating fruits they actually eat in the wild. 🥭Each fruit illustration in the game includes its natural growth environment, showing the trees and plants where these fruits originate. We believe it’s possible to create a fun experience while also educating players about capybaras and their ecosystem. 👓 And we intent to keep doing this with future games (that hopefully are coming preeeetty soon 🫣).
👑 Early Bird Bonus: Digital Capybara Headbands
🍌As a special thank you to our early supporters, all backers who join us in the first 48 hours will receive two exclusive digital Capybara headbands—inspired by our characters Luke 🤖 and Lavender! 🎀 🧢These headbands are our little gift to celebrate your enthusiasm and early support. Our illustrator is still working her magic, we expect them to be completed and delivered around mid-campaign. Don’t worry—we’ll keep you posted and make sure they arrive in your inbox as soon as they’re finished! 🎩 Thanks for being one of the first to jump into the forest with us. We couldn’t do this without you!
Will there be expansions? 🚨
Yes! In addition to the expansion featured in this campaign, we have already developed two extra expansions: - 🤖 Capyverse: A new dimension where capybaras explore different realities. - 💸 Capybaralism: A world where capybaras develop their own structured society and economy. We plan to launch another BackerKit campaign to bring these expansions to life, which is why we need your support! By backing this game and sharing it with friends and family, you help us continue expanding the Cute and Aggressive universe.
What is your refund policy? 🤔
We offer an 85% refund for requests made after the campaign ends, as we are unable to recover certain costs. This includes BackerKit fees, payment processing fees, merchant provider fees, and the time and resources already invested in bringing this project to life. Once the shipping process has begun, refunds will no longer be available. However, if you experience any issues with your game upon receiving it, please contact us—we will cover the cost of replacement components or even a full replacement copy if necessary. We want to ensure you have the best experience with our game!
How will shipping be handled? 📤
Shipping costs will be collected after the campaign concludes during the Pledge Manager timeline section. This approach allows us to calculate more accurate rates based on your location and ensure the best delivery options.
