over 4 years ago – Thu, Sep 05, 2019 at 02:20:53 AM

Hey folks! There's a lot we need to catch up on in this update, so let's get into it!

Pax West

Calico Showed at PAX West which was very exciting! Many of you met us there and said very kind words! We will also be at XOXO in Portland this weekend, so if you are there please say hi!

New Composer! 

We have a Composer joining the team! Local to Seattle with us, John has been amazing and we CAN'T WAIT to show you everything he has been working on. We have some very exciting contributors working with John too that we will announce in time!

Discord

The Calico Discord is a great way to hang out with the Calico community and share pictures of your pets/ food/ cat memes! 

The Whitethorn Discord is a great place to see the other wholesome games our publisher is releasing, and find out more about them! They are good people. <3

BackerKit

95% of you have filled out your backer survey! If you are the 5% that haven't filled out your survey yet, please check out this website to track down your survey. If you have any other issues please message me! We will be closing surveys and locking orders September 15th so please fill yours out by then.

Calico Dev

Development is going very well! PAX was stressful, but gave us great feedback that we can use to make the game even better. Now we're just gunna keep on keeping on towards launch! From now on we will be trying to post a Kickstarter update at least once a month, so look out for that!

Thank you everyone and hope you are having a good start to your September!

almost 5 years ago – Sun, May 05, 2019 at 10:10:56 PM

Howdy party pals! This update will have info about how things will work for the next month!

Paypal and late pledges via Backerkit

As we mentioned before, we've partnered with BackerKit to allow for people to pledge from now until May 19th via their website. 

This will work the exact same as the Kickstarter, except you can only pledge for the unlimited tier items. You'll also be able to use Paypal to pay if needed. 

Pledge here


Survey Info

The backer survey will also be sent via BackerKit to the email you listed when you pledged. In the survey, you will be asked a few questions for fulfillment as well as have the ability to add on other items if you wanted. The survey will be sent May 20th, if you backed and do not receive an email that day, please let me know. (check spam first)


Additional Info

For those looking for the Calico discord it is here. If you pledged to a tier that included alpha/beta access, you will be asked for your username in the survey.


If you have any questions about this please ask!

One Hour Left! + Thank you ♡
almost 5 years ago – Wed, May 01, 2019 at 12:14:50 AM

We'd like to thank everyone so so much for backing and supporting Calico! We have one hour left and that means you have one more hour to back any of the design tiers and become a part of Calico forever! Oh my gosh!

We have also have one "Become a Magical Person" tier open up! In this tier you design a fantastic friend to live in the calico world as an NPC! This can be based on you, or an original design!



~See you on the other side!

Holy Moly 200%! | New Stretch Goal
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Apr 27, 2019 at 02:13:58 AM

Okay kitty crew, we have 4 days left and another stretch goal to go! We're very excited about this one, and we think it'll really enhance people's experience with Calico!


Calico Companion App!

The app will be a free addition to your play experience, adding the ability to carry around at least one of your Calico pets in your pocket and take them out to play! You'll be able to pet, groom, and spend time your special pet from your phone~ The app will also include a dream character creator! This will include almost all the clothing items in the game (save a special few). We think this will make not only a fun dress up game, but also a good way to plan out your outfits in the game~

Lets see if we can make this goal before our time is up! We've been told the last few days get big boosts so lets make these last few days count!

BackerKit Support

We've teamed up with BackerKit to make a couple things on our end easier with fulfillment, but also to bring you a couple extra benefits! If you are someone who has wanted to pledge, but doesn't have a card that works for Kickstarter, BackerKit will allow you to pledge for rewards via Paypal.

In order to pledge via Paypal, you will need to wait until after the Kickstarter ends. For 2 weeks after the Kickstarter ends we will still be accepting pledges through BackerKit. You'll have the option of any of the rewards which were unlimited, like a copy of the game, the Zine and the Art Book.

We will announce via our Twitter when the BackerKit page launches.

The other addition is that since we are sending out the backer surveys via BackerKit, you will be able to add on any of the unlimited items via that survey!

We passed 50k!~
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Apr 16, 2019 at 12:42:57 AM

Hey friends~ We've just hit the halfway point for our campaign, and we've passed 50k! That is AMAZING!

The more we get, the more resources we'll have for a good spread of customization options, like more furniture, potions, outfits and animals!

If you are pledged for just the game right now, consider raising your pledge to get the Calico Zine, or the Art Book! Both are physical prizes we are VERY excited for. We have a lot of Calico art and development to show you!

If you are already pledged to a tier that doesn't include the Zine or the Art Book, we have teamed up with BackerKit to allow you to add on those items when we send out surveys after the campaign is over. If you have any questions about this, let us know!
