Dear all,
A very strange and difficult year is coming to an end and we were lucky to have you by our side. Thanks to your support, our studio is alive and creation continues!
Here is a little gift under the tree: a set of wallpapers for your desktop and smartphone. We tried to propose several screen resolutions, we hope you will find your happiness or something close to it ^^ There are in total six different wallpapers : two for Esteren, two for Draconis the universe of Chane, and two for Fateforge !
The production of Creatures and most accessories is now underway! There are still some final adjustments to be made on the last files such as the Butterflyâs Dirge. Soon, we will be able to show you the pictures of the first prototypes and production sample! We are waiting for news from our manufacturers to get a delivery schedule (part is made in Europe and part in China). As soon as we have this information, we will be able to give you a delivery date for your rewards :)
We put several PDFs on your Backerkit accounts (if you lost your acess, follow this link): The PDF of the Lairs and the Appendix (very useful, check it out !), two modules Fort Ardraco and the Chronolith, the set of 4 Coloring sheets, and last but not least the Creatures book !
For now, the whole team will take a break for the holidays. We will come back on January 4th. Until then, we will be less active on the networks and email support will be closed. We will answer your support requests at the beginning of the new year.
The PDFs as well as the wallpapers will appear on your Backerkit accounts, you should receive an email following this update.

An Update on Production and PDFs
In the last few weeks, we've reached important milestone for the project... in fact, everything is almost ready to go to production and we're doing the final checks on the files right now! This also includes all the stretch goals released during the campaign that have to go to print :) This means that we will soon be able to put on your Backerkit accounts all the PDFs of your rewards. When this is done, you will receive an email from Backerkit. Some of the PDF like the Grostesque Feast or the Encyclopedia will be delivered later.
The next step is the production itself. Some of it will be printed in Europe, some in China. The production will then have to be shipped to our two shipping hub, in the USA and France. As soon as our printer gives us a production schedule, we will keep you informed :)
Until then, take care of yourself and all your relatives! Our studio will close for the Christmas break between December 18th and January 4th. During this period, most of us will no longer be active on the networks. If you sent us a message to the customer service after the 18th, we will answer you at the beginning of January,

A gift to thank you for your huge support!
Many of you have added options to your order, whether accessories, minis or Chane's artbook. A huge THANK YOU: your support helps us keep the studio running, allowing our members to live from their work.
We would like to thank you for that, so hereâs a surprise for you. :)
All backers will receive a new miniature, the kaani crab! This 1 inch-sized miniature is one of the familiars described in CREATURES. Imagine having a pet crab... the wizard in your group will love it! If you opted for a physical pledge, you will receive a plastic copy of it as well as the STL file. If you opted for a digital pledge, you will receive the STL file. You can even add more copies in the Add-ons section of the Pledge Manager. Enjoy, and thank you again for your huge support! :)
Additions to the FAQ
We have received many many new messages and we are adding entries to the FAQ.
âș How long will the pledge manager phase last, exactly?
You can freely access and edit your pledge until it is locked on December 15th. Note that you won't be charged until early February 2021.
âș Why do I need to enter my address for a digital pledge?
This is a useful step when using Backerkit to track whether you received your pledge or not. However, if your pledge is purely digital and you'd rather not enter your address, just put anything instead.
âș When will we receive our digital rewards?
Digital rewards will be progressively uploaded on your BackerKit account in the coming weeks.
âș Does the All-In pledge include the printed Draconis: The Art of Chane book?
No. It is a separate, bonus add-on, available at discounted prices.
âș Is the Draconis: The Art of Chane artbook the physical version of the "Draconis Artbook PDF" stretch goal?
It is more than that! The stretch goal includes the PDF of Draconis, which is Chane's first artbook. The artbook proper includes not only Draconis but also Sparks, her second artbook for a total of 260 pages.
Opening of the Late pledge
We are opening the Late pledge today. For those of you who missed the Kickstarter campaign, this will be your chance to be a part of the adventure! :)
The offers will be the same, with one difference: all stretch goals unlocked during the campaign and given to you as gift will become paid options for late backers. This is the edge you get for supporting us from the very start!
If you have a friend who might be interested, send them this link so they can join the Late pledge.
That's all for today :)
If you have a question, don't hesitate: we will do our best to answer you as soon as possible.
âș Le livre Draconis : lâart de Chane est-il la version physique du palier « Draconis Artbook PDF » ?
Câest bien plus que cela ! Ce palier inclut le PDF de Draconis, le premier art-book de Chane. Quant au livre physique, il inclut Draconis ET Ătincelles, le deuxiĂšme art-book, pour un total de 260 pages.
PLEDGE MANAGER FAQ 2
almost 4 years ago
â Sat, Nov 21, 2020 at 02:25:56 AM
Hello everyone!
[đ«đ· mise Ă jour en français Ă la suite]
Wow, only 2 days after the launch, more than 60% of you have already filled out the pledge manager! Thank you! This information is precious, as it will allow us to refine the data for the upcoming production, which promises to be substantial...
For now, here is a new FAQ. We received so much feedbacks, than you everyone, very useful. Read this new FAQ carefully! If you have a problem, contact support here. Before you start, three useful things:
You will receive a digital file in your Backerkit account, listing the content of all pledge levels, including the unlocked stretch goals. This will allow you to easily check the content of your order, adjust your options, etc.
If this is your first time using Backerkit, read this news.
âșHow can I access my Backerkit account? I lost my invitation :/
Please follow this link. Enter your email adress and you will get access to your account.
âșWhat is the purpose of the questions at the very beginning of the pledge manager?
These questions will help people who are not used to Backerkit. During the campaign, some of you may have added money for your options: these questions allow you to review what was offered. The Add-ons page allows you to add other things as well, either for yourself or for gifting. But be careful not to take duplicates!!
âșOn the Add-ons page, some items are part of the bonuses unlocked during the campaign: must I select them to receive them?
Only if you want extra copies, since your bonuses are included by default in your order. On the Add-ons page, there is an order summary in the top right column. If youâre in doubt, please refer to the pledge summary file (see below). Remember that the Treasure Box includes most of the printed stretch goals.
âșI would like to add extra copyies of the Creatures Box (set of 200 pawns), but I can't find it. Is this normal?
Yes, it was missing! We have now added it to the Add-ons page, in the Accessories category.
âșHowcan I know the exact content of my main pledge?
We've added a downloadable pledge summary file to your Backerkit account.
âșI seem to be missing some unlocked bonuses in my order: Askinos Artprint, Tarasque Artprint, Frost Giant Artprint, Fort Ardraco Print, Player's Guide Print, Agate Dragon Battlemap Print, Creatures Pawns: Heroes, and Peacat Artprint.... Where are they?
They have been grouped together in the Treasure Box! If you see the Treasure Box, a copy of all these references is included.
âșIs the map of the Free City included in the All-In? Because I see it as an option in the Add-ons page...
No, this large poster of the Free City map is not included: it's a new option.
âșThere, Iâve completed my order! How can I check its contents? Can I change my mind about my options?
You will find an order summary at the end of the Backerkit process when you enter your credit card information. Make sure you haven't forgotten anything and that you don't have any duplicates. You can change your options at any time until mid-December. Your credit card will be charged at the beginning of February.
âșWhen will you launch the Encyclopedia Kickstarter? I can't wait! :D
We will launch the new Kickstarter after we have fully delivered the rewards for this one. We hope to launch it in the spring of 2021, with a fully finished book!
âșI read that there will be a second volume of Creatures, is that true?
Yes, absolutely! We are in the process of creating it. If all goes well, it will be ready in about a year.
