GENERAL | Will you translate this game to my language?
While we don’t rule out translating MemoryCore, as of today we haven’t planned localized versions of the game, especially considering the product complexity compared to traditional TTRPGs.

GENERAL | Will this game be available at retail?
It’s always difficult to predict how a crowdfunding project will perform and whether it will reach the scale required for a retail release. If MemoryCore achieves satisfactory results, it may eventually become available through retail channels. However, the cost at retail would almost certainly be higher than what we’re able to offer during the campaign, as direct-to-backer sales allow us to provide significantly better prices. Should the game reach retail, prices are likely to be closer to the crossed-out MSRP shown in the reward tiers—or potentially even higher, depending on market conditions and distribution costs.

PLEDGE | Why isn’t there a digital-only (PDF-only) pledge for MemoryCore and the anthology games?
MemoryCore is carefully designed to minimize bookkeeping and deliver a true “power on and play” experience. Physical components such as rewritable Character Boards, Memory Cards, Exploration Map, Tokens, Markers, and the Game Disc are all integral to how the game is meant to be played in its intended play experience.
This is a deliberate product decision, made to support fast, ready-to-play sessions without setup friction. If all these components had to be printed and assembled by players for online play, the “press start and jump into the game” feeling would be significantly reduced. For this reason, we chose not to offer a PDF-only version of MemoryCore as a core pledge option.
That said, we are players too, and we understand that many groups play exclusively online for logistical reasons. Therefore, each physical copy of any game in the anthology will include a QR code granting free access to all digital files (Game Rulebook, Game Disc, Exploration Map, Memory Cards, and Character Boards) for those who prefer to play online, and the same applies for the User Manual.
At the same time, we are exploring the possibility of bringing MemoryCore to a VTT platform that can properly support the system, while preserving the intended play experience.

PLEDGE | Why can't I choose the two games included in the Base pledge?
The Base pledge is meant to be a curated entry point into MemoryCore, and we specifically selected SOLID STATE MACHINE + BLOODSONG because together they showcase a wide range of what the line can offer, while also representing experiences that are generally more approachable and proven enjoyable for TTRPG players (stealth and dungeon crawling). Other genres in the anthology, such as PvP Fighting Games, Survival Horror, or Racing, can offer more niche or divisive experiences depending on the group. Keeping the bundles fixed also helps us simplify logistics, reduce production complexity, and keep prices lower for all backers. That said, every other game will still be available à la carte as an add-on, and the MemoryCore box across all reward tiers is already designed to contain the full anthology of all 6 games.

GAME | Do I need the User Manual to play?
Yes. The User Manual, included in all pledges, contains the basic rules for test resolution and for the system in general.

GAME | Will I be able to create my own game content?
Yes. Check out the PLAY. REMIX. CREATE. section of the campaign.

GAME | Will I be able to distribute my own game content?
We’d genuinely love for MemoryCore to become a playground for the community’s creativity. We want to see players hack it, remix it, build on top of it, and create things we could never have imagined ourself. We’d absolutely love to give creators the tools to design their own games, cartridges, settings, and experiences for MemoryCore.
The challenge is that third-party licensing is a fairly complex legal topic, and we haven’t yet found a framework that makes us comfortable saying, “Yes, this is exactly how we’re going to do it.” We haven’t worked on one on previous games, but we’re trying to bridge that gap now.
So while we can’t announce a licensing program today, please know that the desire is very much there. We’re actively thinking about it, discussing it, and looking at ways to make MemoryCore as creator-friendly as possible.

GAME | I want to know more about the games!
We dedicated a separate update to each of the 6 games in the anthology. In the “Updates” tab on the game’s BackerKit page, you can browse through all of them to learn more about the characters and the unique mechanics of each individual game.

GAME | Will there be more games / a second anthology?
We strongly hope so. Ultimately, it will depend on how the first anthology performs economically, which is why your support during this campaign means so much to us!

GAME | Is there a community I can share my game content with?
Of course! Join the official MemoryCore Discord server here: https://discord.com/invite/Rw37ADQjMJ

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.
