Tailside: Cozy Fox Cafe

Created by Coffee Beans Dev

A charming RPG where you'll discover the joys of running your own cozy cafe.

After getting fully funded through the fundraiser, Tailside rewards are now available to purchase directly from this limited time store in order to help cover cancelled and refunded pledges (and to make sure all the stretch goals reached through fundraiser remain unlocked!)

Rewards are expected to start shipping out December 2024 - January 2025. Please follow the project updates for more information.

Surveys! (Deadline December 15th)
6 days ago – Fri, Nov 29, 2024 at 12:43:56 AM

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating, and Happy Weekend to those who do not!
Since I'm a bit ahead of my schedule, I have sent out the surveys to fill in to finalize all your orders.

The deadline for surveys is: December 15th
A good amount of people still have failed payments which have to be fixed up by December 15th to avoid any cancellations and to not put us behind our reached stretch goals. By the same deadline, if you have ordered an exclusive Pixyls woodland sticker, you should fill in and pay the shipping to ensure your order goes through.

If you haven't had the chance to back up the main fundraiser, you can still do with late pledges!

P.S. Did you see the newest NPC reveal? 🐺💙
A new Devlog for Oct-Nov summary and game progress will be up next week!

PayPal payments now available! (+Partial payments?)

I discovered that it is possible to set up PayPal payments for campaign store (post fundraiser store) and after a bit of issues, I managed to connect everything and made it available! So those who did not have an oppportunity to pledge due to not having cards or card issues, you can now use PayPal for a limited time to get the rewards and add up to the total of fundraiser amount:

Just sent the survey review to BackerKit
They need 1-2 days to pre-approve the surveys before I can send them out to all backers so hopefully that goes through smoothly and we are all on track with the timeline of sending out the surveys on December 1st!

P.S. While it's not official, I wanted to let you know that I do take partial payments privately but only for a limited amount of people and for over 100 EUR amount of pledges. If you might be interested in something but can't make a payment immediately, please send me an email for more information:
[email protected]

I'm trying to organize all these alternative options to make sure we can cover all the pledge cancellations and refunds so we don't lose any of the stretch goals! There is currently still a good amount of failed payments but I really hope that won't be the case in the next days.

For any failed payments issues
10 days ago – Sun, Nov 24, 2024 at 10:29:04 AM

Quick update for those that might be experiencing failed payments:

1. If you have multiple bank accounts connected to one card you might want to check and make sure that the account that is getting charged from has enough funds to cover the pledge amount.

2. Some transactions might be marked as fraud by banks and in this case you might need to confirm and approve the transaction with your bank. Possibly after confirming, you might need to re-add your card to BackerKit in case it's not going through. (This seems to be due the transaction getting registered as physical location transaction and not online purchase, so your bank assumes someone else is using your card overseas and puts a protection on)

3. Even if you re-add and try to charge the card again, only one transaction will go through so don't worry about any possible double payments.

4. If you have the possibility, try switching payment methods/cards.

There is enough time to fix up the payment issues as well as I will send in an email to BackerKit about all the reported issues to forward any more relevant information to everyone.

If your issue was not mentioned or not seem to have been covered, please send an email to BackerKit support and let them know your situation - this might be faster than me trying to help to solve any issues personally!

Since it's Sunday the BackerKit and banks might not be responsive so I recommend to recheck on everything tomorrow! Let's try to not lose any stretch goals because of failed payment issues and try to solve them asap!
