Important Backer Preview Update

Posted on August 22, 2017 2:12 am

Hello, backers!

We’re still hard at work on the Backer Preview, but wanted to give you an update, specifically as it pertains to the exciting topic of… Backer Preview code distribution logistics!

Backer Preview: Who Gets It, and On What Platforms?

First, everyone who backed the game at $30 or more will be getting a Backer Preview code!

Second, we’re happy to announce that the Backer Preview will be available on the following platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam Windows. Steam Linux and Steam Mac releases will follow sometime in the future.

Allowing Backer “beta” builds on consoles is a first for both Sony and Microsoft, and we’re extremely grateful to both of them for giving us the chance to bring Indivisible’s Backer Preview and development feedback straight to your console.

We don’t have a an exact release date for the Backer Preview yet, but will let you know as soon as we do. Assuming testing with Microsoft and Sony go well, we currently expect it to be released in early September.

With eligibility and release platforms confirmed, there are a lot of logistics that need to be taken care of in order to get you your codes, which we’ll go into below.

Payment

While you can still back Indivisible until 12/31/17, in order to make sure that no one is gaming the system to get free Backer Preview codes, we’ll need to start processing some charges, which will be detailed below.

While we don’t yet have an exact date for when the code distribution will begin, we are aiming for early September and want to alert everyone well ahead of time to avoid any potential issues.

Please keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter to find out when the Backer Preview code distribution will begin and when we will be starting to charge.

Indiegogo Backers

Because Indiegogo funds have already been collected, Indiegogo backers will only be charged only if they upgraded from a tier without the game to one with the game.

So if you initially pledged $5 or $15 and later upgraded to a higher tier, we will be charging you before codes are distributed.

If you upgraded from $30 and over pledge tiers, you will not be charged at this time.

BackerKit Pre-Orderers

All orders from the BackerKit pre-order store will be locked down and charged before code distribution begins. Please keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter for information on when exactly this will happen.

If you need to change anything about your pre-order after it’s locked down and charged, please contact BackerKit customer service here.

Indiegogo Backer Preview Codes

Because the Backer Preview won’t be available on the Nintendo Switch and we don’t want to assume that everyone wants the game on the same platform that they selected their digital code for, we’ll be splitting the existing platform selections into to multiple game / code platform variants and adding them to the Backer Survey questions.

So that this doesn’t interfere with those of you that have already completed your surveys, by default your selection will include the Backer Preview code for the platform you selected, except in the case of the Switch, which will default to Steam.

If you haven’t yet filled out your survey, you won’t be able to access your Backer Preview code. So now is a good time to do that!

If you choose to change your Backer Preview code platform from the default, simply revisit your BackerKit Survey and select the new platform.

Here are the available variants, with the defaults in bolded red:

(Console You Chose) + (Backer Preview code You Will Get)

Steam + Steam Preview

Steam + PS4 US Preview

Steam + PS4 EU Preview

Steam + XB1 US Preview

If you need to find your BackerKit survey, please head here.

If no survey turns up with the e-mail address you entered above, please contact BackerKit customer service, as it’s likely tied to a different e-mail address. They can help you find the correct e-mail address, and update it if necessary.

Pre-Order Backer Preview Codes

For those of you that pre-ordered the game through BackerKit, by default you will be given the Backer Preview code on the platform you selected or, in the case of the Nintendo Switch version, a Steam code.

Because of the way BackerKit Pre-orders are structured, we’re unable to give you a direct way to change your preview code platform. If you’d like to select a different platform for your Preview Code, you will need to contact BackerKit support to change it.

Should you opt to change your Backer Preview platform with BackerKit support, here are the options that will be available to you, with the bolded items being the default for your platform:
