Project FAQ
Risograph printing (aka Risography or Riso Printing), is a form of small-press machine printing that originated in Japan in the 1980s. It's a very bright, vivid style of printing where each time a new colour is added to a print, it must be passed through the machine again. So to create one copy of this zine, an A3 piece of paper must be passed through the machine three times per side, one for each colour and drying each time in between. As the paper is hand-fed into the machine, there's often unique differences between each piece, meaning that the zine you get will be completely unique to you!
All of the printing and manufacturing for this zine will be taking place within Australia. As this zine will be shipped as a gift to any backers (as thanks for supporting this unique little project!), in theory this means that we shouldn't be affected by tariffs at all. The situation is still developing and I will keep you all updated with any changes.
Currently there are two incentives for this campaign. For early birds, you'll receive an exclusive 8-page foldable zine that's adapted from my diary of the wedding that inspired this experience. Whether you receive a digital file or a physical copy will depend on what version of the game you'll back for. For returning backers, you'll recieve a bonus one-page game inspired by 'I Need Your Strongest Potions', available in both business card and A4 format that is designed to be hung in your living space. Whether you receive a digital file or a physical copy will depend on what version of the game you'll back for.
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.
