Project FAQ
Status Effect Games is fully committed to all of its projects. We have already produced everything needed to fulfill Velos Wing: 2nd Flight. Hundreds of assets and dozens of maps are waiting to be shipped to backers. Because we've created all of the art with digital tools there is very little overhead. Additional funds raised by this campaign go towards paying the artists and giving us the go ahead to create even more projects for our fans. The money we make also helps us to expand on the quantity, quality, and overall content of this and all of our future endeavors.
All digital rewards are hosted by drivethrurpg.com. Download links to the digital content are delivered via email. Backers who don't already have a drivethrurpg account are encouraged to sign up for a free account as all file updates are uploaded and hosted there. A link will be sent out for print-on-demand at cost copies of the final book. All POD is through Drivethrurpg.com. They will handle final charges and shipping costs for the physical book.

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.
