FAQ: Kickstarted in the Butt: A Chuck Tingle Digital Adventure
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Kickstarter!

What platforms will the game be available on?

The game will be available for Mac and PC. We are hoping to have Linux support as well, but since FMV is kind of a tricky new frontier, we didn’t want to promise linux support to you lovely folks now and come up shorthanded. So basically - we’re gonna try but no promises yet!

Did you pick your goal just because it’s the sexweed number? Do you actually need that much money?

We obviously like things to be…nice. But we also are an experienced development team who take our jobs and accounting seriously. A lot of successfully kickstarted projects struggle to see the light of day because they didn’t realistically factor in game production cost. All jokes aside, we did the math and found that 70k would fund the actors, film crews, voiceover talent, coders, contractors, and wildly sexy props (you could take some of those home, check the rewards!).

So basically, it was worth the couple hundred dollars extra of the 70k budget to shave it down to a really nice number.

Priorities.

Is Chuck Tingle actually involved?

Yes! After the tweets Chuck and Zoe exchanged in the story, they kept in touch via DMs for the following months. This is also how Chuck sent Zoe as his official representative to the Hugo Awards to prove love is real. https://boingboing.net/2016/05/06/weird-porn-author-who-was-drag.html They continue to go back and forth about game stuff today!

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
