The game reminds me of RimWorld/Prison Architect/Dwarf Fortress/No Man's Sky!

Awesome! We enjoyed playing those gems too! Nebula was greatly inspired by our favorite games, and it being a colony sim, of course, there are few common mechanics. However, we knew from the very first day of development, that if we wanted to create a fun and unique colony management game, we had to provide players with a fresh and exciting gameplay experience that is unlike any other title. This is why we put such a heavy focus on exploration and player action consequences in an enormous explorable galaxy, driven by complex interactive simulation systems, creating a new approach to the colony sim genre! Regarding the graphics, unfortunately, we are not the best artists out there, but once we secure some funding for the game, we will hire professional artists to create a unique and distinct look for Nebula! We only made the current assets to serve as placeholders to get our ideas across!

Is the game going to be moddable?

Committed to our community and our roots, we are happy to announce that Nebula will enjoy extensive mod support! Apart from some core elements, every asset in the game is already handled like it was part of a mod (Vanilla Mod), so it will be very easy to add, remove and change things as you wish. Since it has built-in support for modding, downloading the Unreal Engine will be a requirement for modders, but we have prepared detailed guides about the process, and it really is easy. However, unfortunately, this will somewhat still raise the ‘cost of entry’ for modders, but in turn will allow much more powerful tools to be used, making complex changes simple and streamlined.

What platforms will Nebula launch on?

After the Closed Beta, Nebula will be first released as an Early Access title for the Windows platform, and it will be available on the Steam Store. Although we cannot make any promises, we are dedicated to releasing the game on the Epic Store too, and we are considering other options as well! After the Early Access phase, we are also planning to bring Nebula to the Mac and Linux platforms.

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.
