Under what name will I be credited?
I’ll send a survey to all backers asking how they want to be credited. If you’re worried about being credited under a deadname, don’t worry, I’ll only credit you how you tell me you want to be credited! :)

Where will the videos be hosted?
I haven’t decided yet if they’re going to go on my current channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/sharkhugseniko/) or if I’m going to create a new channel for them. If you’d like to make sure not to miss them I highly recommend following the Kickstarter so that you get updates.

When will the episodes come out?
I expect the first 7 will trickle in over the course of 2022, hence the expected delivery date being near the end of next year, with the subsequent 5 arriving at a similar rate.

Will the source code be available to everyone?
Yep, the source code will be available on public repositories on GitHub. If you’d like to have pre-built binaries (Windows, Mac, Linux) those will be available to backers who pledge $25 or more.

Will the videos be captioned?
Absolutely! I prefer to have captions for videos myself, and in fact there are captions on the Kickstarter video already.

Do I need to know a lot of code/math to enjoy these videos?
Nope! Knowing a little code and math will be helpful, but I’m going to do my best to explain everything from a very high, conceptualized and visual level before diving into the code.

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.
