    [​IMG]Snowcastle Games gives out more information on how they will be handling the Post-Campaign for Earthlock: Festival of Magic in the latest Kickstarter update.

    General Information for Post-Campaign Handling
    This update will cover some general information about pledges, add-ons, rewards and Paypal as well as to hopefully address some of your most pressing questions about the post-campaign experience.

    Collecting Pledges
    We are currently in the process of collecting the pledge funds from everyone. This process will take about two weeks to give backers some time to fix any issues they may have had with the initial transfer.

    Pledge Manager
    After the initial two weeks (this is an estimate) and if the system is ready we will be sending out invites to all Kickstarter backers and Paypal backers to our Pledge Manager. The Pledge Manager is a system for us to manage all backers, pledges, and rewards and is not part of Kickstarter (as a company) itself.

    In the pledge manager, you will be able to select which add-ons you want for your pledge, add-on funds if you want more than you had allotted during the Kickstarter, supply us with your shipping address (if you have pledged for any physical rewards), and select the platform you want the game on for each of your copies.

    You will also be able to add more add-ons if you desire! So, for anyone who missed our late-campaign physical add-on announcements such as the art book or the Amon figure, there is no need to worry. You may add those in the Pledge Manager.

    The Pledge Manager will also be used to manage digital reward distribution such as download links and unlock codes.

    The invite for the Pledge Manager will be sent to the same email as the one receiving this update (the one registered with your Kickstarter account). That same email will also be registered to your pledge manager account. You will be able to change this email in the account settings in the pledge manager.

    PayPal
    Our Paypal system is still live on www.fomgame.com and will be out until the end of the month of May. Anyone who was not able to back our Kickstarter is more than welcome to support us through our Paypal site while this is active!

    Please note that if you have backed us through Kickstarter then do not use the Paypal site to back us further as that would create duplicate accounts for you in the Pledge Manager. You will be able to back us further if you wish through the Add-On system in the Pledge Manager once that system is live.

    Any additional funds we get through more add-ons in the Pledge Manager as well as new pledges through Paypal will go towards our Stretch Goals and we will keep you regularly updated on the total amount raised.

    Rewards
    Rewards will not be sent out until the Pledge Manager system is live as that system is the easiest for us to manage and distribute rewards to our backers. Once the Pledge Manager goes live we will send out invites to our backers only section of our forum as well!

    Alpha and Beta
    We have had many of you asking about the projected Alpha and Beta schedule for Earthlock. We wanted to give you an idea of what we had in mind so far:

    The Alpha testing phase is estimate to begin sometime late this year.

    The Beta testing phase is estimated to begin early next year.

    We will update with more specific dates once we get further in development and have more information. ​
