BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
When will the final pdf be ready?
We estimate the final product will be released in Q4 2025. Right now we cannot really be more accurate, because the scope of this project depends on how much money will be raised. Bigger scope means more work and more work takes more time! Don't worry though, we will keep our backers up to date regarding our progress with the project.
Will there be a printed version of the product?
Currently we plan to have a digital-only release and won't offer physical books, but the future is uncertain and one day, if we are successful enough, we might give it a try!
Why do you say you won't profit from this product?
This is a passion project for us, something we want to do because we are excited by Draw Steel and want to support it. We all have good, well-paid jobs and don't need additional money to make a comfortable living. We want to make this project the best it can be, so we feel like spending all the raised money on its development is the only reasonable choice.
