Latest Updates from Our Project:

27 - Modena Play: The adventure!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, May 26, 2022 at 11:44:24 PM

Hello, children of Broodr,
we are back from Modena Play, the most important board game fair in Italy. It was a tiring, but unforgettable experience. Watching people having fun playing Feralis: Obscure Land makes us happy and repays all the hours of work and nights spent awake.

Our booth rocked, we had a lot of people come to visit us: some already knew Feralis, and others became curious after walking around the booth a bit or watching other people play. We want to thank everyone who stopped even a few moments to say hello, to play or book a game or even just ask something.

After two years of the pandemic, to find everyone at the fair for the first time was like seeing a dream come true, like when you go to visit a place you've always seen in pictures. You finally experience it, it's finally real. There are no words to describe the excitement.

To get you into the mood a bit, we put a couple of photos and videos below, one of which was taken at the end of the fair. Guess which one? Clue: you can tell by the destroyed faces.

 



Before we finish this update, we remind you that the pledge manager and late pledge are active! 

You can follow us on Instagram to stay up-to-date on Feralis: Obscure Land, fair dates, and many other things.

Until the next update,
much love

VERY IMPORTANT! Smoke Test + BackerKit Survey Guide + Late Pledge
almost 2 years ago – Tue, May 17, 2022 at 12:15:17 AM

TL;DR: Please do read! This is the single most important update, it explains how to use the pledge manager.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Welcome back Children of Broodr,


We’re happy to share that the smoke tests will go out within the next hours! Only 5% of backers will receive a smoke test, so if you don’t receive one during this process, your survey will go out with the rest of the backers once we’ve confirmed everything is working as expected!


Below, we’ve included a guide to help you complete your surveys.

Be sure to read this update to the end to make sure you've done everything.


A summary of what you're going to read:

- Two Important Questions + Bonus

- A guide to using the pledge manager


You will receive an invitation email in the next few hours, click on the link you will find inside. If you don't get it within 24 hours, check your spam box or try logging in manually from here: https://feralis-obscure-land.backerkit.com/


If you need help, join us on Discord.


Two important questions

What is the pledge manager used for?


It is a platform run by Backerkit that makes you do these things:


- Choose the language of the game

- Add items to the order

- Upgrade the pledge

- Calculate shipping costs based on the estimated weight


Do I have to pay right away?


No, you can just add items, estimate shipping costs, and add your credit card to Backerkit (make sure the card is valid and you have enough funds, or the payment will fail).  We will collect the funds after mid-2022, until then you can change your order.


Bonus: What if my card doesn't work with Stripe?


Backerkit uses Stripe to process payments, like Kickstarter. If your card doesn't work for some reason, you can do two things:


1. Ask a friend to lend you yours;

2. Contact us on OUR EMAIL and figure out what to do together (this is not an easy solution, so only contact us in desperate cases).


BackerKit Survey Guide

1) Select your country for shipping and click "Get Started". If you would like to upgrade to a higher pledge tier, locate the link under the "Get Started" button and click that instead. Please note that if you switch pledge levels, add-ons selected on Kickstarter will not be automatically applied to BackerKit.

2) Please read the question prompts and proceed into the BackerKit "store" (Add-Ons section).

3) Here you can choose which of the 3 available languages you want the game.


4) Once in the store, you’ll see a list of the items included in your Kickstarter pledge to the right of the page. On the left, you’ll see the options for add-ons!

5) Once you've selected all the items you want, click "Next".

6) Enter your shipping address and click "Next".

7) The final screen of BackerKit will show you a summary of your order and ask you to settle your payments. Confirm the provided information is correct, pay for extra add-ons, and click "Place my order".


Well, we're done!

You will receive an email notification confirming that your information has been registered.


Surveys and addresses will be locked closer to fulfillment so you’ll be able to make changes even after submitting your survey until we let you know otherwise! Payment for outstanding balances will be collected at a later date.

When the surveys go out, we ask that you complete it as soon as possible so we can make our orders with the production facility. The longer this step takes the longer we have to wait for the product! We’re looking to get 80% of the surveys filled before production starts so we can ensure we have enough for everyone.


Commonly Asked Questions on BackerKit Surveys

Can I upgrade my pledge through the survey?

Yes! When you get your survey hit the button below "Get Started". This will enable you to up your pledge tier if you've decided you want a different deal!


My payment didn’t go through and I was dropped from the Kickstarter. What do I do?

Don’t panic! You should still receive the BackerKit survey and you’ll be able to pay for your pledge there.



Late Pledge

I missed the campaign. When will preorders be open? They're now live!

Preorders are now live! If you had a friend who missed out share this link with them!

https://feralis-obscure-land.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Orders placed here are considered BackerKit preorders, not Kickstarter pledges, and will ship after we fulfill backer rewards.

26 - Update on the Pledge Manager + Modena Play
almost 2 years ago – Sun, May 15, 2022 at 12:30:32 PM

Hello, children of Broodr,
you may have noticed the delay in opening the Pledge Manager and Late Pledge, we are here to explain why.

Both pages are ready to go online, but technical issues beyond our control have slowed things down. We are waiting for answers from Backerkit support, it is just a little longer technical time than expected.
We are very sorry for this slowdown, if it was all in our hands we would have worked even at night to solve it, but sometimes waiting is the only solution.
 

 IMPORTANT: the Late Pledge may already be online, but we are not sure if it will work until Backerkit fixes the problem.

  We hope to update you very soon, thank you for your patience.
 

Modena Play

Let's move on to more cheerful things! We are currently preparing for one of the most important game fairs in Italy, Modena Play. 

 We will be there next week (May 20-21-22) to show the prototype and try out the expansions. We will take lots of photos and tell you all about it as soon as we get back, in the meantime you can follow us on Instagram to stay updated on the stories: https://www.instagram.com/deergamesstudio/

25 - Tournament with special prize + Pledge Manager Update
about 2 years ago – Fri, Apr 29, 2022 at 07:30:21 PM

Hello, children of the Broodr,

Today we're talking about:

  • Tournament with a special prize
  • Pledge Manager Update

Tournament with a special prize

We are testing the possibility of not having faction limits within the deck construction rules and we want to test it through a tournament organized on our Discord channel with the digital version.


As a prize, the winner will receive a special card signed by the author. Do not miss this opportunity, join us on the Discord channel and our mods will guide you in this adventure!



Pledge Manager Update

We are working quickly to get the pledge manager ready to use. We are still on track to send it to you on May 9 and you will have the rest of May to finalize your pledges. 


All add-ons and the base game will be managed in the pledge manager, so if you forgot to add money to your pledge or thought you hadn't added it, you have plenty of time to put it in. 


See you on the discord channel!

24 - Thank you all for this epic campaign! 🔥
about 2 years ago – Fri, Apr 22, 2022 at 12:21:05 AM

Hello, children of the Broodr,

the campaign has come to an end and we have no words to thank you.

It has been an exciting journey and full of surprises. We've had some setbacks, sure, but that's how firsts are: messy and exciting!

This is the first door to open, the true beginning of the adventure, the first step into the world of Feralis, which will become big, we know.


Thank you for the trust and the kind words.

Thank you for the suggestions and questions.

Thank you for the support and affection you have given us.

And thank you to everyone who will stand by our side once again.


Feralis is officially a reality and we can't wait for it to arrive in your hands. We made it!


We'll get back to work finalizing everything, correcting the rules, fine-tuning the final mechanics, betatesting everything, and completing the game. We’ll keep you updated on a monthly basis via updates. 



In our incredible final rush, we unlocked some wonderful things!

We have committed to planting a tree for every 10 backers, but we want to do more, we raise the bar: 1 tree for every 5 backers. The planet needs us, we won't back down!

Do you know those beautiful deck boxes that you unlocked not long ago? Well, now they will have a thicker weight to allow you to carry your favorite deck with you even more safely!


What's next

LATE PLEDGES

Late pledges will be open after the campaign ends. This will enable latecomers to still acquire the game, albeit at a higher price.

PLEDGE MANAGER

Through the Pledge Manager, you will be able to:

  • Change your pledge level.
  • Provide your shipping address.
  • Pay shipping costs (consult the Shipping Policy section of this campaign to get a current estimate of these costs).
  • Purchase add-ons.

GAME FAIRS

We would be present as booths at ModenaPlay from May 20-21-22. There you will be able to meet the team and try Feralis: Obscure Land for yourself. If you are in Italy during that period, don't miss it!

|IT| Saremmo presenti come standisti al ModenaPlay dal 20-21-22 Maggio. Qui potrete conoscere il team e provare Feralis: Obscure Land con mano. Se siete in zona in quel periodo, non mancate!


Thank you, truly.
