Hey there, awesome gang!!
First, apologies for the wait. We wanted to send the Pledge Manger Surveys last week, but due to circumstances beyond our control, it was not possible. But we got exciting news! We're about to launch the Pledge Manager Survey 🎉. Here are the key details you need to know to get ready, please read all this information carefully:
This survey won’t be hosted directly on Kickstarter. Instead, we’re working with BackerKit for a smooth experience. Look out for an email coming soon with a link to the Pledge Manager survey—this will be sent to the email address you used on Kickstarter and the subject will be "Response Needed — Get your reward for Altered Alma - A darkly beautiful Metroidvania".
The mail will look similar to this:
📝The survey process
Once you’re in BackerKit, you'll be able to make any final adjustments to your pledge, from upgrading your tier to a higher one, or adding additional items if you want to customize your reward package further.
Once you decided to improve your tier or stay on the one you already have, you will select the Platforms where you want your Physical and Digital edition games, as well as your extra copies if you purchased more or want to purchase more. For your Digital editions if you select them on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation you will also need to select your region. This is not needed for the Physical Editions, Steam or Xbox versions which are region free.
Also, if it's included in your tier, we will ask for your discord handle (the @Username) to give you the corresponding Discord roles; and also the name you want displayed on the credits of the game (Thanks to you Altered Alma is possible).
📈Upgrades are possible
Please consider that while Backerkit system allows you to increase and decrease your pledge level, ANY CREDIT REMAINING FROM A DOWNGRADE WILL NOT BE REFUNDED, as those funds are part of the main campaign going toward production.
So, we recommend you to avoid decreasing your pledge level unless you want to spend the remaining credit on add-ons.
📨Shipping address and costs
Please note: we are collecting shipping addresses for ALL BACKERS for tax purposes. This also applies to backers who are not purchasing physical add-ons. Please fill out the survey with your shipping address, even if you are not purchasing physical items.
If you have physical items, the survey will also calculate your shipping costs and will be added to the total at check-out.
🔄Survey changes
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts, so no need to worry if you make a mistake.
💳Payment methods
You can change your payment method in the survey at any time, but please consider that by default the system only accepts credit cards. If you need to use PayPal please contact us via support.
🆘Support
The survey is sent progressively in waves, so do not panic if it takes a few days to arrive to you. If in a week or so you still have not received your survey, please contact us here on Kickstarter or in our Discord server.
🚀 Custom Spaceship Survey
If you're a backer for the custom spaceship in the docks, stay tuned! This survey will be sent separately later on, so keep an eye out for further updates.
✨ Next Station: Barceloneta
We’re thrilled to share the first iteration of the Barceloneta biome! This iconic area, inspired by the real-life localizations in Barcelona, from neon-lit beaches to the bustling streets, the atmosphere of this zone is sure to captivate you, so prepare your surfboard and put on your sunscreen because we are leaving a small sneak peek for you to see, and many more places for you to find.
We can’t wait to show you more about the progress of this biome in the near future—stay tuned for updates as we bring these iconic locations to the world of Altered Alma!
Thanks for being part of this journey with us. We’re almost there—keep an eye on your inbox, and we’ll see you in the Pledge Manager soon! 🖤
💚Share the Love: Lone Fungus Melody of Spores
Today, we’d like to introduce you to another amazing Kickstarter project. An epic Mushroom Metroidvania where you play as Greencap in a quest of uniting mushroom tribes to defeat the ancient spirit beast!
Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores is a classic action-adventure game with a charming 16-bit aesthetic, set in a fascinating world rich with its own mushroom lore. With a non-linear world design, the game is first and foremost a Metroidvania, leaning heavily into the 'vania' side. Whip foes, unlock new powers and explore a world brimming with treasures and secrets, all while enjoying that nostalgic retro feel.

⏳Late Pledges: Kickstarter Closing, Backerkit Opening!
Time is running out!
Our late pledges on Kickstarter are closed now, but don’t worry—if you missed the Kickstarter, we’re opening the late pledges on Backerkit (do not confuse this with the Pledge manager, that will come in the 1st week of November). This will be your final chance to get your hands on some of the same great rewards and content, but note that these exclusives are only available though Kickstarter, so act fast!
Pledge Manager Surveys Coming Soon
Pledge Manager Surveys📝 will be sent out the first week of November via Backerkit. You’ll receive an email at the address connected to your Kickstarter account, so keep an eye out! We will also send you a private message in Kickstarter and a Kickstarter update (just in case). Through the Backerkit pledge manager, you’ll be able to:
- Choose your platform (PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, etc.)
- Fill in your shipping address in order to calculate the shipping costs (no worries, you can still change your address in the future if needed).
- Provide your Discord Username if you’re eligible for exclusive roles or rewards.
- And all the other info we need for your rewards.
Make sure to fill out your surveys as soon as you receive them on the 1st week of November so we can get everything prepped for shipping and rewards!

Get ready to explore one of Neo Barcelona’s most iconic areas—Barceloneta! As part of the sneak peek, we’re sharing some first-look images from this incredible biome. From neon-lit beaches to the bustling streets, the atmosphere of this zone is sure to captivate you.
Take a look at these stunning concepts, and stay tuned for more updates as we finalize this part of the game!
⚔️ A new game to enjoy: Rivals of Aether II

💚Share the Love: Delivery Witches
Today, we’d like to introduce you to another amazing Kickstarter project, but this time it’s a board game!
Our friends from Undigital recently launched a new project on Kickstarter! The name might ring a bell, since we worked with them to create both Altered Alma figurines you saw on our campaign.
Delivery Witches is a pickup and delivery game for 1 to 4 players where, like the video game, we will be apprentice witches who will have to deliver packages to the townspeople to learn to master their powers. The board game is based on a video game called Mika and the Witch's Mountain.
If you’re a fan of board games, make sure to check it out and support their campaign. Who knows, maybe we’ll see more board games based on video games in the future.

First off, we want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who has backed Altered Alma during our Kickstarter campaign. Your support has been truly incredible, and we can’t wait to deliver this epic cyberpunk journey to you.
💚Kickstarter Late Pledges EXTENDED!
Great news! We’ve extended the Kickstarter late pledges for one more week! So if you haven’t secured your exclusive rewards, you’ll have til October 23rd to get those exclusive rewards!!
Continuing with the good news — late pledges on Backerkit will be opening this after the Kickstarter Pledges close, giving one last opportunity to be part of Altered Alma journey and earning some nice goodies on the way.
However, please note that the limited tiers of the Kickstarter exclusives won't be available once we switch to Backerkit Late Pledges!
🔥 Pledge Manager Launch
We’re excited to announce that the Pledge Manager is coming early November! (It was supposed to be late October, but we moved it to accommodate the late pledges extension). This is a key step for all our amazing backers on Kickstarter.
Through the pledge manager, you’ll be able to:

🌳 FIRST Look at Parc Güell Biome
We’re thrilled to share the first iteration of the Parc Güell biome! This iconic area, inspired by the real-life localizations in Barcelona, is being brought to life with our cyberpunk twist. You’ll be able to explore recognizable landmarks within the game, including the stunning Arc de Triomf (we know… we are taking some liberties with the geographical locations compared to real life Barcelona), which we are leaving a small sneak peek for you to see, and many more places for you to find.
We can’t wait to show you more about the progress of this biome in the near future—stay tuned for updates as we bring these iconic locations to the world of Altered Alma!

🆘Problems with your pledge
If you’re facing issues with your bank, please firstly check with them and make sure they’re allowing the payment to go through. We have also seen people having problems with the Kickstarter app, using the Kickstarter website on a laptop/desktop computer, typically solves this.
You can also check these Kickstarter links on allowed payment methods and common pledge problems. If the problem persists, don’t worry—we can still try to recover your pledge once the Pledge Manager in Backerkit opens.
🔥 Late Pledges Open Until October 16th
Missed the campaign? No worries! Late pledges are OPEN for one more week until October 16th, and they count towards the final stretch goal (VERA Hacking Missions). So if you know someone who still wants to back the game, now’s the time! Every little bit helps us push even further.
📋 Pledge Manager Coming Soon
By the end of the month, we’ll be opening the Pledge Manager via Backerkit. We will gather all the info we need for your rewards—like which platform you want the game on, your name for the credits, and so on.— You’ll also be able to upgrade your pledge or add extra add-ons if you wish.
