Is this releasing on the Switch?

We’d really love to, but at the moment there are complications in that area. The engine Flynn is being built in, Gamemaker Studio 2, doesn’t currently support porting to the Switch. So we can’t promise anything, and creating a Switch version outside of the current engine will be a huge amount of work and will require a later stretch goal.

When is the game releasing?

We have a rough estimate of early/mid 2019, but this all depends on how well our Kickstarter campaign goes. If we are successfully funded then the game will for sure be out around that time. We are about 1 year into development and most of our time has been establishing the core gameplay foundations and styles. We have a ton planned in terms of level design, bosses, progression etc. Over the last 12 months we’ve also been carefully designing every nook and cranny of the game, from what ability Flynn acquires from stage 4 to the color of Yombal’s fins.

What will you be spending the money on if you get funded?

What will we spend the funding on? The game you dummy! The purpose of a Kickstarter is of course to help us cross the finish line. We’re very confident in the head start we have on the basics in design and development, with a lot of the core features already built and working. A large portion will be going to the art, allowing us to give our artists more consistent hours and maybe even hire extra help. Additionally, the sound is very important to us, so that will be a big investment as well.

Is this your first game?

First bigger scale game, yes. We have 2 other games we released in the wild on mobile though, which can be found here:

Samurai Blitz -> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/samurai-blitz/id1006098376?mt=8 Raccoon Rascals -> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/raccoon-rascals/id1052661141?mt=8

We also have a couple projects we have worked on in the past that didn’t quite make the cut (we all have them), but we see them as more of a learning process and who knows, we may come back to them in 50 years time.

We’re using GM:Studio 2 to knead together the bits and pieces for Flynn and the world around him.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
