Project FAQ
We're Zombie Orpheus Entertainment and Dead Gentlemen Productions, the companies that produced The Gamers, Dorkness Rising, Hands of Fate, Humans & Households, Natural One, and The Gamers: The Series!
It is! The script was developed in collaboration with the full Gamers creative team in 2017 and we're finally able to produce it. It's released under the Shared Cinematic Universe License Agreement (SCULA), like the rest of the Gamers films.
Gamers 4 (Dorkness Falls) is in production right now with Cabin Nine films. It follows the adventures of the real-world characters who were pulled into Fartherall by The Shadow. Attack of the Pwns (and Gamers the Series) follows the fantasy characters who were pulled into the real world. Attack of the Pwns takes place just before the end of Hands of Fate, leading directly to the game table scene where both sets of fantasy heroes meet for the first time. Our proposed third and final Gamers the Series episode, Revenge of the Myth, takes places concurrently with Gamers 4 and wraps up the story of the fantasy characters stuck on Earth.
We are! We shot Attack of the Pwns in November 2024 and January 2025, during a fortuitous window when the entire cast was available. We're already deep into post production.
JQ4 is produced by a different team at ZOE and DG. They recently released their backer survey and are currently working on physical reward fulfillment. That film is done and has been screened for backers. If you're a JQ4 backer and you haven't seen the movie yet, please check your BackerKit account for information about redeeming that reward.
We published a volume with the first half of the Nodwick story and the Demon Hunters web comic in 2017. This is the first book that contains the completed Nodwick arc, through to when Nodwick and Princess foil The Shadow's plans at the end of The Gamers: Hands of Fate.
No. We are keeping reward levels as simple as possible and don't want to double the number of pledge levels. It would become even more complex to calculate per-item discounts for backers who, for example, wanted a physical disc but a digital booster pack. At the end of the day, the bulk of your pledge dollars go into production, not manufacturing. Pledges have always been primarily about supporting the film, with rewards as a bonus. The irony is that most backers who elect for digital-only rewards will save money by printing their files locally, since shipping now costs more than manufacturing!
No. This project is imagined, written, filmed, edited, and created by humans.
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.
