Project FAQ
Physical Blu-Rays, VHS Tapes, & Artbooks will ship out in 2027! (if stretch goals are met, this may potentially be delayed into 2028) Digital rewards will be made available by the end of 2026, however, all episodes are to be released free on Youtube.
On a professional budget, 55k is our bare minimum to fund a 12 minute Pilot. Currently with the merch store and Patreon income, every 1-2 minute short is allocated about 3-4k in budget and takes about 2 months to make with a team of 4-6 animators/artists, + our voice actors, composers, and guest illustrators. In our dreams, we'd want to be doing a full 6-episode 23-minute each OVA series, but that would cost a minimum of 330k or up to a half-million for a properly staffed professional studio production! Our goal is to produce a new WLCW short on a rotating 1-2 month basis. with a full-length "episode" released every 4-6 months! The goal of this Kickstarter with a timeline from May to November will be: One full-length 10 minute WLCW "Pilot" Episode Four 1-2 minute WLCW Shorts released every 1.5 months! + all previous WLCW short animations remastered/remixed and pressed on a Blu-Ray release!
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.
