over 4 years ago – Tue, Sep 24, 2019 at 03:20:44 AM

Here is the link to the late pledge https://smartphone-inc.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders 

If you are backer please check your email and make sure that the BackerKit survey didn't get to your spam folder ;)

All CEO Early Birds backers please note that you can switch your level by adding 5 more copies to your pledge as an add-on by EB price. This add-on is available only for you and the price already excludes your CEO EB level price and shipping fees.

 Also, we added a First Edition pledge level, so all First Edition owners can get KS stretch goals by the price of $15 + shipping fee. 

On top of that, we succeed in reducing the shipping cost to some countries and got the final costs to all destinations. 

You will be able to manage your pledge till the 6th of October. 

Then after receiving your final surweys we will start the production. We've already paid for press forms and they are almost ready. So don’t miss your chance! 

If you have any questions feel free to ask, we will be glad to answer - [email protected] Thanks all of you for being here with us and have a nice week! 

The pledge manager is finally ready and will be opened upcoming Monday!

Hi, everyone, 

The time has come. We set up the pledge manager and are ready to open a late pledge option. You will be able to manage your pledge and add the shipping cost to your destination. Everyone who missed the campaign will have the opportunity to support us on BackerKit and get Smartphone Inc next February with KS backers.

Meanwhile, we're waiting for the last one Smartphone Inc sample from the manufacturer and are ready to start production this October. That means everything is going according to plan 😉

Also, we finalized partnerships with VFI, CD, Funagain, and HappyShops. So be sure that Smartphone Inc will be perfectly packed and safely delivered. 

We're doing our best to provide you the 5 start services and meet all your needs. We're so thankful for your support and can not describe in words how happy we're to be here with you!

The last 48 hours to respond to the survey & results of scenario voting.

Hi CEOs,

Please make sure you have provided us with your delivery details via the Kickstarter survey. We will send them out to the logistic companies to get the final shipping cost and set up a pledge manager. As soon as we get new rates we will update the shipping section info and add new countries to it. Please note that info collected is only preliminary - you will still be able to change your delivery address in the pledge manager at a later date. 

Meanwhile, Ivan is finishing the stretch goals rulebook and preparing it for proofreading. We are working with a well-known proofreader William V. Niebling, who specializes in game writing and editing. Rest assured that the final English translation of the Smartphone Inc rulebook is in the best possible hands!

In other important news: We got the results of voting for the scenario that will be included in our KS exclusive scenario pack. Out of 533 responses, 356 chose #1 - Data Protection & Corporate Espionage. Will take a closer look at the details of this scenario in one of our next updates. All needed components have been already developed and included in the core box. Thanks to all of you for voting! ❤️

Until next time,

Your Cosmodrome Games Team

Thank you all! You guys, are just great!

Hey CEOs,

The day has finally come! The second edition of Smartphone Inc is successfully funded and will see the light soon. It was a rocky road, sometimes stressful, but primarily exciting. Thank you so much for your amazing support - you are just AWESOME! We've read every comment, tried to answer every request, added special bonuses, and spent hours thinking about what else could be improved. At the end of the day the only thing that truly matters is YOU and your incredible trust. We've done our best to make a game we hope you will love and enjoy. 

 Though the campaign has ended, we still have much to do in order to bring you a finished product. Updates will continue so that you will stay informed. Here is what we have for now:  

1) PLEDGE MANAGER & PLEDGE LEVELS: Soon you will obtain access to the pledge manager. As a reminder, you will be able to level up your pledge from CEO (1 pc) to PARTNERS (6 pcs); from CEO EB (1 pc) to the PARTNERS EB (6 pcs); and from INTERN (0 pcs) to CEO (1 pc) or PARTNERS (6 pcs) levels. IF YOU WANT MORE THAN 6 pcs, please make sure that you can provide us different recipients info with different addresses, otherwise we will not be able to promise you tax-free shipping. 

 2) SHIPPING. Final weight of the core box including the stretch goals will be determine a few days after the campaign ends. (Currently it is estimated to be around 4 kilos :o) We will continue to work hard in the coming weeks to get you the best shipping costs with a premium level of service. Once we receive the new rates, you will be first to know. We will push to get the rates as low as possible. 

 3) FIRST EDITION OWNERS. By backing $1, you will get access to the pledge manager where you will be able to order at the special pledge for the first edition owners. We're still clarifying the shipping rates for this expansion, but we can guarantee that all who already have Smartphone Inc base game will get all the unlocked SGs, including exclusive ones. The price will be $15 plus shipping.  

4) RETAILERS. All Retailer level backers will receive a survey after the campaign ends. We need to verify that you are a brick and mortar store. Once confirmed, you will be able to place an order and we will send you an invoice. Note - $150 was charged as a deposit, so you will get the price minus $150.  

That's it for now.  THANK YOU ALL for this incredible journey! A big thanks to our partners Arcane Wonders, game designer Ivan Lashin, and the whole development team.  

Until next time,  Cosmodrome Games Team

Now let's get the work started!

Greetings Interns, CEOs, Partners, and Retailers.

We just sent you out a survey to gather preliminary shipping information. Please fill the survey out completely! We need your delivery details and the quantity of games you want, so we can solidify realistic shipping rates. We are looking at additional options for you and will share all details soon!

After receiving new shipping rates, we will open the pledge manager to everyone, and open a late pledge option.

Interplanetary yours, 

Cosmodrome Games Team.
