Project Update: Download Ready!
Hey, folks! Sylphy here with some fantastic news! We've got some indie games to distract you on this hellnight: Iron Circus x INDIEPOCALYPSE is up and ready to roll! Some of you have already noticed and begun the download and we thank you for silently confirming for us that everything works!
Thank you all again for backing this kit with us and being a part of bringing indie games to you! So get something refreshing and get ready for some good digital distractions! 👾
The digital rewards for the Iron Circus × INDIEPOCALYPSE project come in a few different basic types, and there’s a different way to download each one. (We know, it’s kinda weird. Platform limitations, you know?) Anyway, we’ll try and explain it all here.

The digital rewards for the Iron Circus × INDIEPOCALYPSE project come in a few different basic types, and there’s a different way to download each one. (We know, it’s kinda weird. Platform limitations, you know?) Anyway, we’ll try and explain it all here.
Digital downloads
All of the rewards are “digital downloads” in BackerKit terminology, and you can get to them from your Digital Downloads page on the site.
There are three different kinds of downloads, though!
Iron Circus Comics ebooks
If you bought any PDFs of Iron Circus books through the crowdfund, you can download them directly from the Digital Downloads page. There is a download button. You click it. You don’t really need this one explained, probably!
INDIEPOCALYPSE game bundles
So, all of the actual games have to be downloaded from itch.io, rather than BackerKit, because games are large. So instead of a download button, you’ve got an itch.io key URL.
Just copy that into your browser, and it’ll take you to itch.io. Then you’ll have to link the download to your itch.io account. If you haven’t already got one, you’ll have to make one. Yeah, kind of annoying, but it’s a cool site, and accounts are free! Anyway you can just download your games and delete your account, if you prefer.
INDIEPOCALYPSE zines
Finally, if you got the zine collection, then you’ll also be downloading that one from itch.io.
The difference here is that, instead of a key URL, it’s just a normal URL plus a password. Paster the URL into the browser, and it’ll take you to a password-locked itch.io page. Just give it the password from the Digital Downloads page. You won’t need an itch.io account for this one; you can just download the individual zine PDFs as you please.
Okay - that oughta do it! 👍
Thanks for your patience, everybody! We’re new to this videogame distro stuff, and figuring it out as we go along.

Project Update: Loading... Compiling...! 🖥
Anyone else think that it was Friday today? Hopefully this will bring some bright news to someone having a long day!
As of right now, the games are done! 🙌 The files for the games are being forwarded to us now and tested one last time for stability so that we can upload them in an easy to download format for you. You can expect our Digital Only survey to go out sometime toward the end of October, which will allow you to access the downloads. Another update will go out once that happens so you get a little nudge to check your inbox and get your games! 👾
Thank you all again for your support once again helping us bring comics into games! I myself am a fan of indie games and am excited to play these as much as you are! Let us know what you think when you've played them!

Project Update: Updatepocalypse!
Hello to our hungry indie enthusiasts! A short update for your Indiepocalypse BackerKit to keep you in the loop here. I hope summer was satisfying for you all, as the months just flew by here with very little to report on. For the most part, programming has finished and we're still within the midst of general stress and bugtesting. This shouldn't last much longer however, and we expect to finish up midway through September, at which point surveys will go out to the emails attached to your BackerKit profiles.
Once the games are available for release, another post will become available here with instructions on how you can access the files in case you need them.
We're so excited to see your feedback for the titles once they've released! Stay tuned!

Project Update: WE DID IT! What Happens Now?
At $16,636 and 297 backers, we've blown funding out of the park for Iron Circus x INDIEPOCALYPSE!
To each and every one of you, from everyone on our team of 6 games, thank you!!!!
As of right now it is going to take Backerkit about 2 weeks to charge your accounts for the amount which you pledged. If you are declined due to non-sufficient funds or risk prevention at your financial institution, Backerkit will email you letting you know.
You should be able to access your payment options to reattempt the payment. However if this is not an option/it isn't working, or if you need to change your payment, you will need to reach out to Backerkit support through [email protected] in order to get that fixed, as I will not have access to the finance side of Backerkit for security reasons. Please do so as soon as possible as we will have to eventually set a cutoff date, and if that time passes before a payment is applied we'd have to cancel the backing.
Currently as of this post, 2 of the games are fully done and 1 game is currently within a playtesting and bug fix stage. 2 of our teams have also asked for an additional 2 months for general QA testing and making sure that once assembled, everything still runs correctly without crashes or bugs.
So at this time, pending any finicky programming holdups that may occur, October 1st is our expected delivery date for the Backerkit survey that links you to the games! Stay tuned! 👾
