What’s got Bea so shocked? Well, for now let’s say it’s the success of the Kickstarter Campaign! The additional title screens in this update don’t represent a use of KS funds yet though- We’re still in the pledge collection period, where Kickstarter takes two weeks to make sure every pledge is valid, collecting funds, and taking fees. After time’s up, you can expect to see surveys coming from Backerkit, where you’ll also be able to add standalone items that weren’t included in your pledge. For example, a full-body acrylic standee of that Bea!
Besides the surveys, once funds are collected, I’ll also be posting in a designated channel of the discord server if you want to follow along with accountability! I’ll start things off with a post of the exact number deposited in my bank account, then share the exact amounts and subject each time I spend KS funds.
Since we hit two stretch goals, the original budget is in a little bit of flux- If my estimates are correct, we should have a little bit extra after the original designations of funds, adjusted taxes, and the costs of fulfilling the stretch goals, but the costs are still just estimates so I’m not going to commit the spare funds to any specific purpose just yet. Could be more voice acting, could be more art- I tried to estimate high on expenses rather than low, but you never know for sure. That’s a great thing to follow along on discord for!
As stated in the roadmap, I plan to release the Beloved Ghost DLC in February 2024. For this reason the surveys lock on February 1st. I need time to apply your votes for character designs! Digital rewards outside of download keys and physical rewards alike can be expected around May of 2024. Then, it’s just development of Entropic Float 2 until it’s ready~
Thank you all again for your overwhelming support in making Entropic Float the best that it can be, and, as always, for reading. I can’t overstate my gratitude! And now it’s time for me to get busy making. I’ll leave you with one more preview of a chibi for the DLC, to show I too have been hard at work, not just title artist Soyokaze- One of many that will be joining the sticker pack included with all physical reward tiers!
Card Declined
To prevent this error, double-check your card details and ensure the amount loaded on there covers your pledge (if there's not enough, it's possible you may receive an overdraft charge). If Kickstarter's first attempt to collect your pledge fails even when there's enough cash, manually retry it; if it still fails, try another card you have.
Transaction Blocked By Your Bank
Some banks will flag the transactions if you're new to crowdfunding campaigns or your pledge is more than what you usually spend. Contact your bank as soon as possible to explain that you made this transaction. From the official Troubleshooting articles:
When you call, it’s helpful to include the details of this transaction, such as:
The charge being from Kickstarter
The amount pledged for the project
The date when Kickstarter attempted to collect your pledge (this is the date that the project ended)
Additionally, it may be helpful to request that your bank add any charges from Kickstarter to their “allow list”
Authentication Requirements
Your bank may want you to manually authorize the transaction. These requirements may vary depending on your financial institution, but if you do it online you may have to clear your browser cache, cookies, and history and retry the authorization module. Alternatively, try calling your bank to speak to a teller.
