What a killer campaign! We couldn't have done it without you. I mean, really. We'd just be on a street corner yelling about evil corporations, and there's already someone that does that. Her names Geraldine, and she throws things at me when I go to the train station.
But I'm sure you're wondering, "The campaigns over, where are my rewards?!"
Next Steps - Pledge Manager and Surveys Backerkit are processing the funds, and very soon the Pledge Manager will open for you to check, confirm, and add on to your pledges (the latter being an optional choice).
Be sure to fill in your survey as soon as possible, to avoid any disappointments further down the line.
We're already working hard on getting the manufacturing process started, compiling the data for both Card Decks being our current daily tango with logistics and pre-production. Our two Executive Backers will be helping to design their cards very shortly too, which everyone here at Parable is very excited about!
Next Steps - Timelines Please check the Timeline on the SHIVER: Corporate campaign page. It's still as accurate as we can currently be, and we'll update you here if anything changes!
Next Steps - Communication From now on the way we communicate with you will be a little different than during the campaign.
Once a month we will send you an update here, on the Backerkit, with an email notification. We'll do this whether there's been interesting progress, or not. As you might imagine when making a game there's a lot more boring bits than interesting, but we want to make sure you know we're still here and still going!
We don't want to overload you with emails, so it will just be that one update a month for this project - as regular to the day as possible, but at least one per calendar month. Please don't go straight to the comments with "It's been almost a month / 4 weeks since the last update and no new update!", because - surprise, surprise - there will be one coming along that month.
Speaking of comments, we will be monitoring the comments and messaging through Backerkit less now, as we focus onto other aspects of game production, and other projects campaigns. The very best ways to get in touch with us directly are:
Customer Service Email: [email protected] Use these for serious problems with your Backerkit Pledge or Parable Games product.
Join the Community Discord: https://discord.gg/StcqgYjv7u Use this to speak to the team and other Parable Gamers like yourself! We can help with all sorts of quick and easy problems this way - and you get to meet lots of cool new people!
USA Customers - "Small Package Fee" Notice (TLDR - it's all good) We realise there has been a lot of upset lately with the customs issues between the USA and UK, especially when it comes to small (under £800 value) packages. Fear not!
Our goods are shipped in bulk to the USA, and distributed from within the country - so no pesky fees there! As always we'll monitor the trade situation, and do out best to navigate any new developments as and when they arise.
That's All For Now! Keep on at that work-a-day grind, and we'll be back with more next month!
If you've got a hankering for more RPG goodness, Parable Games has your back. Ion Heart is available for pre-order on our webstore (for UK and USA customers, ROW will have to wait until the pledge manager for Corporate opens up).
The Grim Gazette is a gothic collection of five small-form RPG games, solo and multiplayer, that the team have been working on on the side. Check out some sneak glimpses over here:
