What platforms and operating systems will Seed of Nostalgia be playable on?
Seed of Nostalgia is currently being developed for Windows PC (Linux and Mac are something we will give attention to further on), and will be available on Steam (wishlist now), GOG, and itch.io. If we are able to hit our Console Stretch-Goals, we will be able to promise Nintendo Switch(2), and all current Playstation and Xbox consoles.

What is the estimated release date?
While I can’t say 100% for certain as we may be adding some new content depending on how the campaign goes in the end. But, I would feel comfortable giving an estimate of Q1 2028. This would not only give us the time to load Seed of Nostalgia with content, but also allow for a healthy QA period to make sure the experience is up to our final standards before launch.

Can you explain what the Limited Retro Mini-Guide is?
Sure! Imagine if you combined a typical Art-Book with a JRPG Players Guide straight out of the mid 90’s. It will be filled with original artwork, but also have some insightful guide sections, Enemy and Item info and stats, and lots of hidden secrets revealed within. The physical version will be presented in the highest quality to match that true retro feeling. Likely shipped near the release of the game.

I see Steam, but what about a DRM-free version? GOG, itch.io, etc.
For those that want a DRM-free option when receiving your Digital Download key, we’ve got you covered. Aside from Steam, we will also be launching simultaneously on GOG and itch.io (possibly more platforms in the future). All backers of the basic tier and up, will be able to choose a download key for their platform of choice when the game releases.

Will there be a Physical Edition available?
This is something I wish I could offer at this stage, however, there are still too many variables and possibilities to promise them in this moment, I wouldn’t feel right promising you something that I am not 100% sure about. I will say, that getting Seed of Nostalgia onto every platform is one of our biggest goals with this campaign, and physical editions are absolutely in our plans and dreams. If we manage to blast up to the the Console Port stretch-goals, this is something I would start planning immediately.

Can I get the game on Xbox / Playstation / Switch?
If we surpass the stretch-goals to port to these consoles then we can announce officially that Seed of Nostalgia will be coming to every major console.

What languages will be available?
Currently the game is being developed in English. We have several key stretch-goals to localize the game into PT-BR, Spanish, and more to be revealed with progress. We will also be considering localizing the game into more languages, depending on how well the campaign does overall.

Why did you choose the title 'Seed of Nostalgia'?
While I know this title may come off as “on-the-nose”, it ties directly into the plot and emotional narrative in the game. Seed is connected to a divine entity within the game, that’s worshipped and revered by people called “Arboreans”. They refer to this entity as the “Gaia Seed”. Nostalgia plays a much more dark, and symbolic role in the game’s story than I think will be expected. While of course this word also has a heavy meaning associated with our love for this genre, I think you will be surprised at how it plays a role in how events turn out by the end of this adventure.

How will the Demo Beta access work?
Everyone who backs Seed of Nostalgia from the basic tier to the highest tiers, will have access to our first Demo Beta test. This will be exclusive to backers for the duration of the beta period. I want to take this time to give you a chance to experience the opening of the game, get a feel for the gameplay and story, and most importantly: give us feedback on what you love, and what can be tweaked or improved. We want to use this opportunity to optimize Seed of Nostalgia from the start, and move into the future with confidence. When the demo is ready, we can discuss the preferred method for access to download the demo, and how we will be collecting your feedback.

I don't have a credit card, can I pay with PayPal?
While Kickstarter does not accept this as a form of payment to back a project. If you want to support the project and need another way of doing it, please reach out and send me a message (Email, Discord, Social Media), I will try my best to find a way to work something out for you.

Why Kickstarter?
Seed of Nostalgia has been a true passion project of mine, I have loved every second developing this game and building this world. I have a real dream vision of where I want to take this project, and to fully achieve my hopes and aspirations for Seed of Nostalgia, I need your help. This is a 100% indie JRPG made by people who are driven and passionate about not only this genre, but making this game as good as we possibly can, always pushing ourselves to reach towards the golden standards set by the games we grew up with. With your support we can put everything towards making sure Seed of Nostalgia is as exciting and immersive as possible.

No.

Is there any DLC planned?
My main goal with Seed of Nostalgia is to make it a complete experience. There are quite a few expansions of content that can be unlocked by hitting goals during this campaign, but I would like to include them in the base game. I believe in the quality of games we used to see in past generations, full and complete self-contained experiences. If there is ever to be DLC for Seed of Nostalgia, it’s something to think about after the game is finished and released, and there is nothing planned at the moment.

Will there be multiplayer?
No, Seed of Nostalgia is a classic single-player JRPG.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
