The Pre-Order/Add-On Store Reopens For You NEXT WEEK!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, Mar 19, 2022 at 04:30:01 AM

Hello Friends,

Several hundred of you messaged us in the past 6 weeks about missing the deadline to add on items to your existing Kickstarter Add-On or Pre-order purchase. We've heard you, and got confirmation that small increases in our print runs is doable without major delays in their timeline. You will be able to, starting on March 22nd at 9am PST, add items to your already locked Pre-Order (for people who didn't back during the Kickstarter) or Add-On Page (for Kickstarter Backers) pledges. We will email you next week with the details on how to do that!

IMPORTANT ITEMS:

• If you already placed an order, whether during the Kickstarter or in the Pre-order store you will be able to add on to your order starting NEXT WEEK! 
• On March 22nd you'll be able to add on to your existing order yourself. No assistance from Maestro Media or Backerkit needed. We will send out another update with exactly how to do that in a few days when your store opens up.
• Until then, please do not message Backerkit or [email protected] about adding stuff to your order, we're working diligently to make sure this goes smoothly for everyone and will be unable to add things for you. Most if not all of your questions will be answered in the next update which will come out on the 21st or 22nd.
• You may see ads about the "pre-order store" being open now, while this is correct, it's for folks who have not already placed an order. If you place a new pre-order you will pay more in shipping and you will receive multiple shipments that could arrive several months apart. And if you were a Kickstarter Backer (i.e. someone who pledged between June 1 and July 1) if you pre-order anything right now you will not receive the Kickstarter perks. So again, please wait until March 22nd! For those Kickstarter backers, after March 22nd, almost all the Kickstarter exclusive stuff will be available again!
•  DO NOT place a new pre-order at this time! Please, again, wait until March 22nd!
• The Store will close again for good on March 31st at 9am PST. 
• You'll be charged for anything added between March 31st and April 2nd. The charge will come from Maestro Media.

See you soon!

Card Approvals and Printing
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Mar 08, 2022 at 04:47:27 AM

Hello Friends,

Our manufacturer has recently returned from Lunar New Year leave and has resumed work on Requiem! We received digital proofs for all cards just the other day and wanted to share the excitement with you!

In addition, Edmund went through and approved physical copies of the cards! Now we just need an offset set from the printer (and without the cut lines) before we move to full production!

One final note before we leave you.

Board games have always brought people together and transcended borders. We’re heartbroken at the violence and tragedy currently happening to the community in Ukraine. We hope for a peaceful resolution soon. Our thoughts are with all those affected by the conflict.

Our backers in Russia. We want to get this game to you, while ensuring money is not going the government. We will have to wait and see what we can and cannot do at the time of delivery. If we need to, we will hold delivery. If we have to, we will refund. If we can't refund due to banking sanctions we will look into other options. We've heard from several of you and you've expressed your anger over the conflict, please stay safe while doing so.

FourSouls.com Updates
almost 3 years ago – Mon, Feb 21, 2022 at 10:34:54 PM

Hello Friends,

While we're patiently waiting for manufacturing to spin back up next week and work out a more complete timeline for delivery, we've been hard at work updating FourSouls.com. We're happy to announce that those updates are now complete.

We've gotten tons of requests from people asking about differences between First Edition and Second Edition cards. Now you can check them out for yourself right on FourSouls.com! When you click on the Cards link, you'll now see a section for Older Versions of the game.

We're another step closer to having a complete archive of every single card ever produced for the game! Check out some of the differences:

You'll also notice a couple of quick access buttons at the bottom of the page. Use these to quickly navigate to specific areas.

And did you notice the Accessibility icon? Now you can choose to turn off the background, switch into high-contrast mode, and change the font type as you like.

One other quick update, The Secret Project is being pushed back to April to ensure the quality of the project is perfect. We were just having this discussion on our Discord Server. While it's always a bummer when something is pushed back, we'd rather ensure quality over speed and a quick buck. Stay tuned, we'll announce the project as soon as it's ready!

That's all for now friends,

The Mystery Announcement & Mega Satan Update
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Feb 16, 2022 at 10:52:10 PM

Happy Valentine's Day Friends,

We’re right in the middle of Lunar New Year, so it’s a quiet month for Requiem updates, but if you follow Edmund’s Twitter or read our last update you know that something new is just around the corner. While we’re not quite ready to share what that is yet, we've got a couple of spoilers just to whet your appetite:

What could it possibly mean?!

In other news, our friend Elvis Salado has been working hard on the Mega Satan and Mega Satan Phase 2 busts and they are looking awesome!

That's all we have for now, back soon!

Backerkit Lock Down Imminent (UPDATE)
almost 3 years ago – Mon, Jan 31, 2022 at 11:57:58 PM

Hello friends,

Quick reminder up front. The Backerkit store is closing at MIDNIGHT PST on February 1st, that's 08:00 February 2nd UTC. If you’d like to make any additional add-ons, now is the time to do that! If you’d like to know how, please read the previous update.

On February 1st Lunar New Years starts and on February 3rd The Winter Olympics starts. These combined events mean that our manufacturer will be taking the month of February off. These are both important cultural events for our partners and we’re thrilled that they’ll be able to celebrate, but it also means February is going to be a very quiet month on the Requiem front. But it’s also going to be a HUGE month for Binding of Isaac fans!
Edmund McMillen and Maestro Media are launching something new very soon.

Other Questions Not Answered In Previous Update

Do Pre-orders include Kickstarter exclusives (Warp Zone Cards, Alt Art Cards, Gold Box Cards, etc)?

All of those were Kickstarter exclusives and are not available in the Pre-order Store. We apologize if this wasn't more clear, and we wanted to make sure this answer came out to everyone before that February 1 cutoff so you have time to reach out if needed.

Is the Guardian Isaac Tier or Tapeworm Pink Box available for pre-order?

Much like the Warp Zones, those two items are Kickstarter exclusives and are not available in the pre-order store.

I ordered two different pre-orders or a Kickstarter pledge and a pre-order:

You are welcome to do separate orders like that, just be aware that shipping will be more and separate orders are not guaranteed to ship together. If you'd like to combine orders please reach out to us at [email protected] and we can assist you with combining orders into one. If you used multiple email addresses, please include any used in the email.

Again, if you have any questions, please do not message the creator on Kickstarter, email [email protected] or ask your question in the comments section of the Kickstarter for quick answers.
