BackerKit surveys are coming!
about 8 years ago – Tue, Mar 01, 2016 at 01:13:16 PM

After a few hours of pure drama we can now look ahead : )

We will send an email with a special link to BackerKit surveys . It is important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information for fulfilling your rewards.

You do not need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey, just click on the survey link, fill it out, and you’re all good to go! You will be able to answer questions about your rewards preferences, provide shipping information, and pledge for more “add-ons” if you'd like. You do not have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email! We will also replace the button here on Kickstarter which points to indiegogo.com with a URL to the Backerkit page and embed it to our website www.indiego-gaming.com

If you decide later that you want to edit your survey response, you can go back to your survey and change it any time before we lock down the surveys for processing.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you will be able to recover your survey here: https://indiego-all-in-one-retro-game-console.backerkit.com .

If you use your Facebook login for your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey will be sent to the email you used for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you would prefer to use, please contact support at .backerkit.com/faq and we'll get you sorted out!

We have been asked if we offer the indieGO! to non-backers... yes we do.

You can order it at www.indiegogo.com or also from the Backerkit page where you get also extra options like games and other goodies.  

There are a few differences to the Kickstarter bundles. (Basically you get less for the same price )

Non-backers don't get all the bells and whistles. It is more like a pure bundle with a smaller cloud storage and no 15€ voucher. But you can check the offering at Backerkit or indiegogo.com and judge yourself ; )

Non-backers can also buy goodies like Games, and peripherals but at a slightly but still fine price. (you can save on shipping for example)

We will take additional pre-orders up to the lock-down date for our Kickstarter backers. 

Lock-down date is set to: 23th of March 2016 (we have extended it because a few backer asked for this). 

Raspberry Pi 3! 

Yep, we will use the new model instead of the Pi2. 

For all Odroid XU4 backers: Don't worry! The Odroid is still 3 times faster. 

The Odroid has a higher clock, a 8 core (2x 4Cores) and DDR3 instead of DDR2

The Pi3 should now be able to play PSP and Dreamcast games fluidly. 

Backerkit page is not set in stone...

This means we can still correct, change and edit things on your request. Feel free to request anything.. in worst case our answer is no, but you can be sure that we will try our best to fulfill it.

Best Regards,

Pascal

PS:

Starting slowly in the second half of 2016 we will offer the indieGO! also regularly at www.indigo-gaming.com and www.ares-shop.de as well as on eBay and Amazon. 

We will also offer used games (for different consoles) playable on the indieGO! in our store ; ) ... and we will add a way to order physical games from the AppStore as well : )

One word about the cloud Storage which is now 5GB for non-backers (still without traffic limitation). As usually everything grows over time.. ; ) Also we will introduce a referral program were you can earn each time 10% extra storage. Stay tuned.. we are busy busy busy

Oh my goddess : ) someone may loose his job

The following is no joke... it is real life : )

Kickstarter uses a Cloud service to send money around the globe. "the currency cloud"... wohoooo!

The services includes a currency conversation service... nice...

Kickstater tried to send us 65+k € : ) We got 1922,04€ ... o.O

Somebody may have choosen the wrong currency here : )

Oh boy... It's funny but slightly stupid.

Kickstarter's auto respone is saying that within 1 or 2 business days someone will answer to our request. I need a beer to cool down.

If I see it correctly all backers have payed for their pledges so we will open the Backerkit door anyway and hope that meanwhile the Kickstarter team will fix the issue ; )

Backerkit Team will review it now and if we made no mistake somewhere it will be opened right away.

We will keep you updated : ) 

AEROS for indieGO! includes now AmiCloud and AmigaRacer
about 8 years ago – Sun, Feb 21, 2016 at 03:03:35 PM

As soon Kickstarter has done its job we can invite you directly to try out the latest AEROS  build : )

The video uses another song which will be also part of the Soundtrack CD. 

We are also working toward the celebration old school demo.

Fabio tries some old-school effects and I am working on vector animations : )

The idea is to showcase our backer names with every effect from past till present.

Crazy world..

Dear Backers,

indiegogo has contacted and invited us to make use of the inDemand service which allows to take preorders : ) 

So the indieGO! is now also on indieGOGO!

No! It is not another fundraiser :

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/indiego-all-in-one-retro-game-console/x/2310364#/

they took the result from Kickstarter. 

Also you can see that there are only 2 console options and with less goodies available. (no 15€ gift card, no Jim Power, No remix, no Tanks Furry and so on). 

The same will be made available for pre-orderining via the Backerkit - Page which will offer much much more options. 

Our Kickstarter Backers will see different and more options and lower prices than non-backers. 

Also you get access to all add-ons and upgrade possibilities to higher pledge levels. (we need to be patient a little bit before we can add the URL here - stay tuned!)

Pre-orders will be accepted until the lockdown date set for our backers, so we can order all components in a bulk order.

Meanwhile... (more to come)
