🌱 Slacker Backer: Now Open!
Greetings fellow pig-riders,
We've heard the loud clamour of your requests from nearby mountains and because Castle PixelCount's windows have no glass we couldn't ignore them. So we aligned the stones and danced the jigs by moonlight and, as foretold by our last Kickstarter update, the Slacker Backer is now open!
First-Time Backers
If you were one of the poor unfortunate souls who missed out on our Kickstarter, you now have a chance to correct this most grievous of blunders. For first-time backers, you’ll be happy to learn that you can now access the many popular reward tiers such as
the soundtrack, the
ComboSprite Editor, or the
Dev Pub, an exclusive forum where we post unfinished work-in-progress game content. In fact, just today we've posted new images of the in-game blacksmith, tons of new concept art, and a new soundtrack piece that we're keen to get everyone's thoughts on.
Upgrading
If, however, you were one of the wise many who backed Kynseed in the earliest of days and would now like to upgrade to a more lucrative reward tier, then you’re in luck. In addition to offering a late backer option to new devotees, we’re also offering existing backers the chance to upgrade their pledge. This has been something that we’ve been getting a bewildering number of requests for, particularly for those of you who have been kicking yourselves for not gaining access to the illustrious (and somewhat smelly) Dev Pub.
(When upgrading, ensure that you’re upgrading from the correct tier. Since the upgrade process is done manually in our own records, we’ll be in contact shortly with anyone who upgrades to verify their original backing amount. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to pester us.)
We don’t yet have an exact end date for the Piggy Backer (did we mention that’s what we’re calling it?), but it will likely last until the game releases on Early Access where the price will rise slightly as compared to the Kickstarter/Slacker - so get in while the gettin’s good! If you have any questions about the Slacker Backer or the upgrade process, please send a messenger pig post haste to Support@PixelCountStudios.com.
In the meantime, you can come keep us company and shower us with compliments over on the forums, Discord, Twitter, or wherever else your social cup of tea is. Keep an eye out for another update in December in which we’ll go into more detail about the game's development and our journey to Early Access.
Lastly, thank all of you so much for your support throughout Kynseed’s development. Whether you’re one of the first backers, a new backer just joining us, or a non-backer simply cheering us on, your faith in the whimsical world we’re creating means a lot to us. All you Seedlings deserve the highest of fives. See you around the community!
Your Fae friends,
PixelCount Studios
