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.

Here is a helpful link to common payment issues: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005126434-Common-Pledge-Problems

WOOOW, 2166 Backer, 316% funded o.O ❤️

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 💌.

Best wishes
Your Sugardew Island Team 🌽

Sugardew Island funded with €95,092 - Next steps!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Apr 04, 2024 at 07:05:16 AM

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 2,166 backers, 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!

almost 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 03, 2024 at 06:13:57 AM

Hello Sugardew Island Friends, 
We are happy to announce that we have reached two more milestones 🚀. 

The character editor is being added to the game, and we are also expanding the number of plants in Sugardew Island 🥕.

We have also decided to offer 3 more pet skins, whereby you will receive the Nightsky skin as a gift 🎁 from us if you have a pledge level of 30€ or more (example: Digital Bonus Edition). As you know, there is already another outfit available from 40€ Pledge Tier. 

This means that every backer who has opted for at least the Digital Bonus Edition (€30 or more) will receive a pet skin from us and an outfit for free from €40 🎉.

Alternatively, you can also add one or all three pet skins and the outfit as an add-on.

New Stretchgoal revealed

Two more stretch goals have been revealed which we hope to reach with your help in the next 24h.

  • 1) 90k€ - Adopt wild animal friends
  • 2) 95k€ - Colorful livestock colors

Your continued support means the world to us, and we can't wait to see what other exciting milestones we'll reach together on this journey. 

Thank you and have a nice day ☕

65k€ Stretch Goal reached -> Next: Character Editor!
about 2 years ago – Mon, Mar 25, 2024 at 05:25:15 AM

Hello Sugardew Island Friends,

We're thrilled to announce that we've hit the €65,000 milestone 🚀, unlocking the exciting option to decorate your farm areas with fences and slabs!

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your incredible support. With 10 days left in our campaign, there's still plenty of time to unlock even more fantastic stretch goals and further expand the game with your invaluable help.

🧱 Fence & Slabs

Thanks to your contributions, we can now incorporate fences and slabs into the game, allowing you to personalize and beautify your farm areas to your heart's content. We've been hard at work preparing the concepts for this feature.

👩‍🌾 Next stretch goal - Character Editor

Thanks to your comments and frequent requests, we have been busy tinkering with ideas for a character designer, which we want to realize at €80.000. This replaces the character selection in the game and offers you more possibilities to customize your character.

"The character selection becomes a complete character editor where you can choose between face & eyes, hair, skin colour, outfit and hats."

There will be no gender selection, everyone creates their character as they wish. The player doesn't have to choose a pronoun in Sugardew Island, we're trying to write a gender neutral story as much as possible. Here is a mock up of the editor which we created in Photoshop (subject to change).

Your continued support means the world to us, and we can't wait to see what other exciting milestones we'll reach together on this journey.
