A Wonderful Welcome for Visual Novel Wonderful Everyday

12 hours to go!
over 8 years ago – Sun, Aug 27, 2017 at 06:52:45 PM

With just half a day left in the campaign, we're juuuust shy of hitting the $100,000 mark! We still emphatically believe that $120,000 stretch goal is within our grasp, so let's keep pushing to make it happen!

There are still a good number of slots left for the Early Backer Promotion - have a contribution of $310 or more, and you'll receive a free autograph board signed by SCA-DI and two of the game's artists!

Don't forget - the limited rewards will be GONE FOREVER after this campaign ends, so this is your one and only chance to get your hands on a unique, one-of-a-kind original signed shikishi for Wonderful Everyday. As of now, there are 9 spots left, so let's try to get those filled up!

Lastly, don't forget about our countdown broadcast - we'll be coming to you on Kickstarter Live starting 30 minutes before the end of the campaign (so 11.5 hours from now). Simply visit the campaign page itself to submit questions and watch the broadcast!

Just a few hours to go, but it's not over until it's over!

BackerKit Tutorial

We're nearing the end of the campaign - just over 24 hours left! Thanks to everyone's help, our Thunderclap reached the required number of people and will go off as planned! We appreciate greatly all the support, and the more the merrier, so if you haven't signed up yet please feel free to (before it goes out in two hours)! We'd love for you to spread the word in general, too - we still feel confident we can reach the $120,000 stretch goal, and if we factor in BackerKit funds, the $180,000 goal may still be within our grasp as well!

We have BackerKit all set up and ready, and surveys will go out within 48 hours of the campaign ending. We know some of you may not have used BackerKit before, so in this update we'll walk you through the whole process!

Survey Email

This is what the email in your inbox will look like. Simply click the "Click Here to Respond" link to continue.

BackerKit Welcome Page

You'll be greeted with this page after clicking the link in your survey email. If your pledge tier includes physical items, the shipping country drop-down will appear, and should be automatically set to the country you entered on BackerKit. If you want to change your pledge level, click on "Want to switch your pledge level?"; otherwise, click "Get Started!" and skip on down to the "Pledge Questions" section of this update.

Changing pledge level

Any backer can switch to any non-limited pledge tier, even if you didn't select a pledge tier when backing on Kickstarter, or if your payment failed on Kickstarter. You cannot switch into any of the limited-quantity pledge tiers, and please note that if you pledged for a limited-quantity tier on Kickstarter and switch out of it, you will not be able to change back to that limited-quantity tier. Also please note that even if you switch to a lower pledge tier, you will not receive a refund for any pledged funds - the leftover money will only be available to use on BackerKit for purchasing add-ons.

Pledge Questions

Depending on your pledge tier, you will be asked a few questions about your rewards, such as which heroine set you want, or what t-shirt and hoodie sizes you want. Simply select the appropriate answer and click "Next Question" until all pledge questions have been answered. Then click "Next: Add-ons".

Add-On Shop

Here is where you can look at and purchase the various add-ons available for the campaign. Simply click "View" for an add-on to open the add-on details page (more below) and add it to your cart.

In the area marked Items Included In Your Pledge, you can check what items are included in your pledge level. Click "View all __ items" to view the item list if it is not expanded by default.

Add-on items on the right-hand side displays all add-on items currently in your cart. The total cost shown here does not include the additional shipping charges for add-ons.

Balance shows you a breakdown of your contribution funds. "Your Pledge Amount" is the actual dollar amount you contributed to the campaign, and "Pledge Level", "Pledge Level Shipping", and "Add-ons" display the amount you are spending in the respective areas. The next line will display "Amount Owed" if your campaign contribution does not cover the total of your pledge level and add-ons; otherwise it will say "Amount Owed" and show how much more money you need to pay for your selected pledge level and add-ons. (Again, this amount does not include additional shipping costs for add-ons.)

Once you have selected any and all add-ons you want, click "Next" to proceed to the address entry screen.

Add-On Details

Clicking "View" for an add-on will bring up a page like this. You can select the quantity and, if applicable, design and/or size of the add-on, and then add it to your cart.

Address Entry

If your campaign pledge included physical items, you will need to enter your address here. If your original pledge did not contain any physical items, but you are purchasing physical add-ons or switched into a tier containing physical items, you will need to enter your address here as well.

Upon clicking "Next", BackerKit will automatically examine your address, and make adjustment suggestions if applicable. If you receive a message saying "Sorry, we couldn't validate your address." but know the entered address to be correct, please click "Submit" again to continue to the confirmation page.

Confirmation Page

On this page you can confirm the contents and cost of your order, including shipping charges for add-ons. If you owe any money for your pledge level or add-ons, the payment information entry area will be displayed. Please enter your payment information into this area and click "Confirm".

Success Screen

This page will be displayed once you have successfully completed your survey. Please feel free to use the provided buttons to share the BackerKit page on social media.

At this point your order is complete. If your pledge level contains digital rewards, you will receive another email as soon as they are distributed.

That should cover everything, but please let us know in the comments if you have any questions!

New add-on item and more!
over 8 years ago – Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at 06:00:49 PM

Hey everybody, we've got a few more announcements and bits of information to share with you going into the final weekend of the campaign!

First up, we've got one more reward to show off to everyone: an acrylic keychain set, exclusive to add-ons on BackerKit! The set includes four acrylic keychains of the game's main heroines, and will be available for all backers to add-on for just $25. As promised, we'll also have an update later this weekend walking you through the BackerKit process, so keep an eye out for that!

Next up, we can reveal a few more details about the content patch for the game! The patch will be available for FREE DOWNLOAD from Jast USA, and it is planned to be available on or before the launch date of the game. We'll of course share the full details of how to grab it with everyone here next week once it becomes available!

Lastly, just a couple of reminders for everyone today: First, don't forget about our Thunderclap campaign! We greatly appreciate that a large number of you have signed up already, and we have over 70 people signed up. That being said, we need 100 people in order for the posts to go out, so if you haven't signed up yet please consider doing so, and if you have signed up, don't hesitate to tell a friend!

And finally, we just wanted to remind you all about our Countdown Kickstarter Live. We'll be going live for the final 30 minutes of the campaign to answer questions, show off a few rewards, and more, so don't miss it! If you'd like to submit a question to be answered during the stream, you can do so here.

That's all for now, but we'll be back very soon with SCA-DI's responses to the AMA questions, so see you then!

Thunderclap launched, countdown live, release date!
over 8 years ago – Wed, Aug 23, 2017 at 08:49:15 PM

We're coming up to the last few days of the campaign, so it's time to start a final push to help get our stretch goals met! We've got a fair few things in store, and we'll share a chunk of them with everyone today.

 

The first item on the agenda is something we'll need all of your help with: we've launched a Thunderclap campaign for the Kickstarter! If you're not familiar, Thunderclap allows you to sign up to have a message automatically posted to your social media account(s) at a pre-set time. With all the posts from everyone who signs up going live at the same time, it creates a huge buzz for the campaign, which is sure to bring in a plethora of new contributions! If you're feeling generous enough to sign up, don't forget that you can register on both Facebook and Twitter for double the outreach. The message will only go out if we hit 100 people by midnight PT on Saturday, so let's get going!

Next, we wanted everyone to know that during the final 30 minutes of the campaign, i.e. 7:30 - 8:00 PM PT on August 27th, we'll be doing a special Countdown Kickstarter Live broadcast! We'll talk about the game, do some Q&A, show off the (Japanese versions of) some of the rewards, and more, so don't miss it! There might even be a chance to win a prize or two?!

Finally today, just a small but very important bit of information: the game's release date was previously simply announced as "August", but we can confirm for everyone that both the game and patch will be available beginning the evening (US TIME) of August 30, 2017. If you contributed to the campaign, you'll receive your Steam key around this time, so you'll of course be able to play the game immediately upon release!

That just about does it for now, but continue to stay tuned as we unveil more information leading up to the end of the campaign!
