Sugardew Island Community Update: Great Achievements and Exciting Events!
6 months ago
– Wed, Jun 05, 2024 at 05:46:54 AM
Hello everyone! 🎉
It's been a few days since our last update. We've been really busy over the past weeks, participating in various events. We hosted the "Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration 2024" on Steam 🎮. Additionally, we had to prepare material for the Pillow Fort Spring Showcase and the OTK Expo. Not to forget, we've cracked the 60,000 wishlist mark on Steam, which is absolutely insane – but let's take it one step at a time.
Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration 2024 🌟
This year's "Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration," hosted by us at rokaplay, featured outstanding games like "Disney Dreamlight Valley" and "Dorfromantik." Sugardew Island was in the "Upcoming Games" category and gathered over 20,000 wishlists. Overall, we now have just over 60,000 people who have added our game to their wishlists. Simply incredible!
The fantastic people at "The Pillow Fort" hosted the Pillow Fort Spring Showcase, where Sugardew Island was a major focus. We managed to include some new material in the trailer and released a small devlog. Check out the video and give it a thumbs up to support the algorithm! 👍
Thanks to the entire team at The Pillow Fort.
OTK Expo Showcase (okay, just the Pre-Showcase 😅)
We strive to present our game to the world, which isn't easy as a small team, but we're doing our best. We applied for a spot at the OTK Expo Showcase and were initially rejected with Sugardew Island. After some pleading, we managed to get into the showcase – only the pre-show, but still! We were glad to have made it that far. Here's the recorded livestream (Warning: Plan for almost 5 hours, but check out 22:48 ):
We continue to work hard on our game and will keep you updated. Do you have any questions? Head to the comments section.

Character Editor & Kickstarter Survey Update
7 months ago
– Wed, May 22, 2024 at 04:20:22 AM
Hello dear Kickstarter backers, 👋
today we're back with an update to give you an insight into the current state of development and some additional information for you.
Character Editor 🎨
The last few weeks we have been working on a Kickstarter stretch goal, the character editor. This feature was very important to many of you and of course to us, so we made sure that this goal was realized first. 🥳
You can design your character completely freely in the character editor and outfits, hairstyles and accessories are not gender locked. You can wear what you want and what you feel comfortable in.
You will get more information about which other features have been added to the game in the next Kickstarter update! 😊
Survey & Bonus Games 📄
The last few weeks have been packed with development. We will be working on the survey very soon and will send it out to you within the next few weeks. Please excuse the delay, we are working on so many things at the same time and are doing our best to get the survey out as soon as possible.
Please make sure that you fill out the survey, as we can only send you the bonus games once you have completed it. This is due to the technical requirements of Kickstarter/Backerkit, so we are dependent on everything being filled out correctly.
Next Steps & New Release Slot🌻
We are working on the implementation of the other stretch goals. Thanks to your great support and the successful Kickstarter campaign, we were able to unlock some stretch goals, but this also means more work for us in development, which is why everything is taking a little longer than initially expected.
We will probably not reach the original release date in the 2nd quarter of 2024, which is why the release date is realistically more likely to be in the 3rd quarter of this year. We hope for your understanding, because we want to use the time to provide you with a great game and realize all your well-deserved features. 🥳

Kickstarter money arrived
We're thrilled to announce that the Kickstarter funds have arrived 🥳, marking a major milestone for our project. We appreciate the support of all our backers who were able to contribute.
Just wanted to let you know that 50% of all failed payments have been successfully received on our end. Thank you to all backers who have clarified this with their bank 💪🏻.
We would also like to point out that we are not judging anyone whose financial situation has changed.
Next Steps
Let us now talk about the next steps.
We will probably set up a pre-order shop in the next 6-8 so that those who missed the Kickstarter can still support us.
Additionally, we will be working on creating our survey to gather important information from our backers.
❗Important - Apple ID Backers:
In other Kickstarter campaigns we have had some problems with Apple ID email addresses when trying to contact users via Backerkit Pledge Manager.
"Backers who have pledged to the campaign using their AppleID but haven't completely set up their Apple Pay account (linking their email address to their Apple Wallet) will have issues receiving their emails from BackerKit.
Those backers have a @privaterelay.appleid.com email address and will need to reach out to the creator team or BackerKit Support to update their email address in BackerKit.
You'll be able to reach out to BackerKit Support by clicking the "need help" link from the Lost Survey page: https://www.backerkit.com/are_you_a_backer. When you write in to Support, please provide your name and your Kickstarter pledge number, which can be found in your Kickstarter pledge confirmation email.
Please update your Apple Pay email as soon as possible to prevent this from happening in the future. You can learn more about hiding your email when signing in with Apple here."
Last words
Lastly, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your support and enthusiasm have been invaluable to the success of our campaign. We are truly grateful and cannot wait to bring our project to life with your continued support. Thank you!"
Friendly reminder 💚, Failed Payments💲

Hi Backers,
Kickstarter has started collecting your pledges. It is expected that some pledges fail to collect due to payment issues. Kickstarter has reached out to backers with reminders to fix their pledges.
There are around 98 failed payments.
Unfortunately, if a backer doesn't resolve their payment issues within 7 days, they will no longer be considered a backer, and we won't be able to send the rewards to that backer
Thanks to all of you who checked if your payment went through. This quick update is to remind you that there are only a 1-2 days left to check and fix failed payments.
Unfortunately, we don't process the payments, so we can't do anything about it. You can contact Kickstarter or your bank to solve the issue if you are one of these backers.
It is important to mention that we fully understand when a financial situation has changed 🙏🏻. No one is being judged here. We would still like to thank you for your support 💌.
We invite each of you to subscribe to our Cozy Games newsletter, which we have been working on for the past 3 months to create value for Cozy Games players and devs.

Sugardew Island funded with €95,092 - Next steps!

Hey Sugardew friends,
UNBELIEVABLE, but true - our Kickstarter campaign is over, and thanks to all of you we have reached our goal and some cool stretch goals.
Thank you immensely for believing in us 💪. Now, let's embark on this Sugardew Island journey together! We can only imagine how eagerly you're anticipating the project's launch and receiving your desired tiers.
Please give us a moment to take a deep breath and celebrate the successful conclusion of the campaign, so that we can then get back to work with full energy and prepare everything for you. With over 2,166backers, it's going to take us some time to get everything sorted and done.
-> What's next?
Please make sure that your cards are covered!
First, we have to wait for Kickstarter to collect the money - this takes on average 2 to 3 weeks. Please make sure that your cards are covered so that your pledges go through and don't get canceled.
After that, we will start preparing the survey and a lot of background stuff. Because we have a lot of behind-the-scenes tasks to organize, it might take a while until you receive your first rewards like the free games, discord roles etc, but we will do our best to send out the rewards as quickly as we can!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all backers and supporters once again!
