Why should I back the project now?

That’s a great question! Supporting us now will mean creating a broader tool, with better and bigger add-ons than the retail version - and you will be able to enjoy it all much sooner!

What is your roadmap?

If all goes according to plan, a solid beta will be available in April 2022. From there, the final version will be finish in October 2022, having all the SGs unlocked during the campaign in the following 3-4 months.

Can I mix environments?

Of course you can! You can have a mysterious Victorian hotel with a passageway leading to ancient medieval ruins… or, if you prefer, a derelict spaceship! Your creations will have no limit!

What is the "Chronos Button"?

Good question! With the “Chronos Button” you can convert a map from one environment to another… in just one click! Turn your map from a medieval village into a space station, or a decrepit cyberpunk neighborhood in an instant!

Does that mean I can change ANY MAP from its initial environment?

That’s right! All maps (created by you or by the community) can be changed in any environment - you’ll never be short of “certain environment” maps again! Fantastic, isn’t it?

Does Chronos Builder support director view VS player view? (Secret doors, labels...)

Chronos Builder is a dynamic map creator, so these types of actions will be the ones that allow you to make your favourite VTT.

What will be the maximum size of the maps?

In the current state of development, it reaches 100x100 squares. To make it bigger will depend on the weight and memory, taking into account the quantity and quality of assets, or if they are animated, etc…

Does Chronos Builder include a way to create our own assets?

This possibility will not be there at the beginning. However, we do have an API in mind to import external assets in the future, which will be scaled and validated to avoid inappropriate or offensive content.

Which VTT are you compatible with?

Currently with all of them ;). You can see on our website or on this Kickstarter page small videos about it (or you can download some free maps as well).

Can maps of more than one floor be generated in Chronos Builder?

This programming is listed as SG. Will we be able to unlock it?

Last updated: December 15, 2021 00:15

Speaking of floors... will it be possible to add roofs?

Well, well, well… How do you know? It’ll appear as SG too! You’re leaving us with no secrets left…

Will a hexagon grid be available in Chronos Builder?

“Of course it is” is always the best answer, isn’t it?

Last updated: December 12, 2021 23:07

Will be possible to export 3D models/maps?

It is not one of our current objectives, although it is true that we have studied the matrix system in order to be able to generate 3D files (stl, for example), and we do not rule out embarking on such a mission at a later date!

How many assets/textures there are in each environment?

We will deliver about one hundred assets of each environment, with enough textures to allow you to show your own style on each map

Last updated: December 12, 2021 23:07

Will there be a community management policy?

Yes, various automatic monitoring tools will be available, as well as moderator work (if and when the size of the community requires it), together with other tools, such as reports or ratings, to ensure an active and healthy community.

Last updated: December 12, 2021 23:07

What is the licensing model?

The licensing model will be a “Lifetime licence”. You pay once and you have the use forever.

Last updated: December 12, 2021 23:07

Is there a commercial license to sell maps?

Unless more than $60,000/year is generated with the tool, this is not necessary. In case you are going to exceed this amount, please contact us!

Last updated: December 12, 2021 23:07

Are there or will there be paid assets in Chronos Builder?

Later on, depending on the needs of the community, an asset import/upload system could be activated to create a marketplace.

I have questions about the raffles!

We will answer all your common questions here! - Only one answer is accepted per raffle, but you can make more than one comment (the following ones will be ignored). - For Contest 1 the winner (Steampunk or Post Apocalyptic) will be known on the 18th, but the five winners of the pledge upgrade will be drawn when the campaign ends. - Each person participates with the plege he/she has at the end of the campaign. - You can win more than one raffle! (But we will look at you with narrow eyes…) - We love you all! :D

BackerKit FAQ

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.
