Nnnnnot much to explain because the title says it all haha. But as a formality, things that are different this time around include:

• QTE Accessibility! There are now three types of speeds for the Quick Time Key Inputs (aka the arrows). The original speed is still there as the default, but we've included a Slow and Slowest option for those who need a bit more time to get their hands on the keyboard.
• I'm still considering a good fix for the timed menus since the amount of choices/words are big variables other than just speed, but rest assured we hear the players who are having difficulty reading all the options before the time is up.
• A fix to the Library CGs! Replaying the event and choosing something different should now grant you the appropriate CG variation when you reach the end of the event.
• A fix to the errors that caused the game to break or a break in continuity.

And that's about it for now. If anyone has any other bugs to report (hopefully not though ^^,) do direct them to support@blankhousegames.com and we'll take a look!

Other than that, Kickstarter launches in four days! It'll go live at 12pm (Noon) EST! We've been chatting and answering a lot of Kickstarter related questions over on Tumblr, but in case you guys aren't following us there here are some of the things we've disclosed about the campaign! Also feel free to drop any other questions in our comments and we'll get to it as soon as we can!

Kickstarter FAQ+

Will shipping costs for physical merch be included in the cost of tiers or will that be paid separately?

They will be separate! We plan on doing fulfillment rewards through Backerkit after, and shipping costs will be calculated through that and then. 

Will there be digital merch?

Eeyup! Though expect them to be few and different from the physical merch teasers we've been pushing these past couple of weeks (which btw you can find on our Twitter! That being said, digital merch would encompass: access to the full game guide as we make Keyframes, full Soundtrack (complete with things that aren’t currently out on Spotify; which btw is out!), and two sets of Drama CDs. That last one in particular we've been excited about. ^^

Do you think you guys might do this late pledge thing or do you plan to just run the month long campaign?

Just the month long! So Kickstarter would be over on November 28th-- one day before Deja's birthday! Wild!

Can you tell us how many tiers there are for Kickstarter and give us a rough idea of a price or two so we can prepare?

Yup yup! We gave people a glimpse of our tiers with this legend! So prepare well if you're planning on backing!

Are your early bird tiers slot-based or time-based? And what tiers will they apply to? 

All of our Early Bird (or Early Chickadee heh) tiers are slot-based so it’s a first come-first serve basis. There are four tiers dedicated to Early Chickadees.

The first is a discounted version of our Core Curriculum tier which gets your name in the credits, KS updates, and the game key. We’re only allowing 140 first early backers for this. The second early tier is the same thing but you also get a pin because we know that pins are expensive ^^, For that one, only 50 backers can grab those. The remaining two tiers are dupes of what I just outlined but with add-ons enabled, and there are less slots for those.

In total 265 backers can get the game at a discount so hopefully those who were a little worried about prices can feel a little more hopeful about your prospects with this!

Does getting a game key mean access to the full game?

Indeed it does! This answer we gave to an ask goes a bit more into it but the general gist is it's too unfair for us to charge each subsequent Season of this game as if it's a DLC when it's not!
