What's next? A NEW GOAL and a SPECIAL REWARD for y'all saviors!

November 5, 2014
Congratulations! You saved Urbance. Wanna make it official?
We're on full throttle maintaining the pace to hit our next goal before the imminent deadline but this offer is special and it's limited to our backers only.
In our glorious final hours (we did raised more than 70k in less than 24 hours after all), we're releasing a new standalone reward tier: the [SAVIOR PACK].
What is it?
It's a glow in the dark rubber wristband. Sure. But of course it is not only that. It is most importantly a token dedicated to our hardcore fans and most loyal supporters. This item is the official mark of you joining our limited VIP clup within the global Urbance community: THE PIT
Unlock THE PIT with your Savior wristband for:
access to our work in progress / making of section packed with exclusive artwork and animation previews, story bits and script, gaming or merchandising developments.
live chat sessions with the artists from the Urbance Transmedia universe (the HOVER team, Plaid, Hiroshi Shimizu, Joël, Sebastien, Florent and more to come...);
a 10% retail discount on Steambot's online shop;
early bird access to items, rewards and great ways to interact with Urbance's story world;
a recurring chance to join the Saviors, a very special gang in the series (after receiving the animated "Urbanized" treatment.)
You can grant yourself the privilege of a VIP access to THE PIT by pledging $15 CAD for the [SAVIOR PACK] only available here and until the end of the Kickstarter campaign (***). We'll be meeting behind closed doors after this short and unique window.
(***) this reward tier is standalone and is not featured in any of the other packs.
First goal is behind us. What are we now aiming at?
To increase the appeal of the series for broadcasters, we've decided to come up with a 3D stereoscopic version of the pilot episode. We'll submit both versions (2D and 3DS) to our fans and to the market and we'll let the best formula win and decide for the future of the series. One version of the pilot will be collector for sure and you'll have access to both.
Let's offer Urbance a 3D spin by hitting the $229,000 mark in less than 40 hours!
So can you just pledge for this, or does it have to be in addition to another tier?

What is "The pit" exactly ? When you say "access to the pit" is it a virtual place or I'll actually have to take tickets for MTL to join the Pit ? thanks

@Tiso Spencer:
Fair questions but we have it under control. We're addressing them all in our FAQ later today.

@All Kickstarter wasn't designed for this in mind to pledge for multiple reward tiers. I wish that it was. However, most KS would just offer the item standalone as an add-on, I.E. $35 game, $37 t-shirt, $40 artbook, $15 soundtrack, and etc.
The confusion I believe is that Steambot is wording it with the promise we're getting the actual reward tier instead of just the 1-2 items from that tier and the survey they will send (which they can only send 1 using KS and that's it) will ask us "Did you pledge for additional tiers?" Yes/No "If Yes, which tiers did you pledge for?"
So the way Steambot has told you to manage your pledge is correct, but I fill there's going to be massive issues that are not going to be addressed.
I really appreciate this being answered Steambot because it will solve a few issues with people, myself included.
1) Are you using backerkit to help manage rewards, pledges, etc?
1-B) If so how are you going to reconcile backers with additional reward tiers as putting them in as add-ons would be confusing?
2) For example, If I backed at $5 [ROOKIE PACK] and decided to increase my pledge another $500 CAD so I can technically get the [NEO BLASTERZ PACK] (which is sold out by the way) would that work?
2-B) Also, since we're not getting the items as add-ons but the actual reward tier, do we also get 100% the contents of that reward tier and below (if it includes all previous below it)?
Please make this clear.

@Zoe Chastain:
Keep your existing pack and just add $15 for the savior wristband. Private Message us afterwards to explain and you're set. You'll receive a survey after the deadline to fill your contact and shipping information. We did an update focused on multi pledging. Do check it out ;) thanks for your support!

When I changed my pledge, it said there was no shipping involved. I changed it to get the savior pack, but it still said no shipping. Where do I give my shipping information to receive the wristband?

@All
When doing add-ons you don't change your pledge tier level. For example, I'm at the [KENZELL PACK]. So I decided to add the [GAMERZ PACK] so all I did was went to manage my pledge, kept my reward tier the same, just added $35 to my pledge and kept everything the same. Instead of just doing $400 CAD, I did $435 CAD. So now, I'll technically add another $15 for this tier making my total $450 CAD.
However, my issue is how exactly does Steambot keep track of any of these changes? What if I wanted to do a sold out tier? Nothing in update #16 said otherwise to it either. Are they using backerkit? How exactly do you separate all of this on backerkit?

I also have the same question about how to get this pack without changing the current pack.

I would also like to apply to the additional $15 Savior pack to my original pledge. Does the savior pack automatically come if I already purchased the Lesya pack or do I need to pledge an additional $15? I also had that problem of not being able to select both options while managing my pledge. I don't want to lose my Lesya pack but would also like the Savior pack.

I also would like to apply the additional $15 Savior pack to my original pledge without making a different selection on the manage pledge options.
Nicole Post
If we add $15CAD to our current backing amount (for those pledging above the $15CAD [SAVIOR PACK]) while maintaining our original reward selection, would that be indication enough that we are trying to get this new backer exclusive reward? If not, how do we go about selecting the [SAVIOR PACK] without losing our original reward selection?
Tiso SpencerSuperbacker
How exactly does this work? Will there be a unique code identifier on the wristband for us to use to login and attach to our account on your website? Also what do you mean by "a recurring chance to join the Saviors, a very special gang in the series (after receiving the animated "Urbanized" treatment)?"
Are you talking about being URBANIZED from the [LESYLA PACK] and above or only the [BOSS PACK] and above?
