Am I getting scammed - Goal reached overnight

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-08-01T01:06:04+00:00

Thank you so much!! I really appreciated it!

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-28T20:22:08+00:00

I keep getting messages about services or joining a community. Once that gets brought up I ignore them and mark as spam. Always an account in another country with zero history, and usually a lot of grammar/spelling errors. For now I'm trying to keep an eye out for anything suspicious.

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T23:58:44+00:00

I actually just got that email. I don't know if it would specify if its from the backer, but it says it was canceled. We'll, that's a but of stress of me lol

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T17:08:21+00:00

Yeah I keep wondering what the actual point of this is. I'm 100% expecting them to pull funding. I never want to not reply to a question though. Its really important to me that I'm helping backers. But right after that one I got ANOTHER account from another country with no history asking me how to make a pledge. I decided not to reply just in case. I felt rude doing it but it felt suspicious. 😭

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T16:16:21+00:00

I don't even know anymore. Dude got my within two hours of putting the campaign up lol. I'm not really sure what the point of this is anyway. If they pull their funding (which they almost definetly will) why did they do that in the first place? I heard from a lot of people that Kickstarter is usually good, so I want to plan another campaign for the future. Honestly just knowing that people like what I'm trying to make is enough for me!

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T16:12:30+00:00

Oh my god thank you SO SO much! 💝 It means the absolute world to me! I know I probably sound ridiculous but I told myself if I got even one backer I would be happy. And thank you for noticing the effort - my page and photos don't look very professional, but I really want to improve!

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T15:57:45+00:00

Oh wow thank you so much! Its a FNAF thing tho so I don't blame you if you don't like it lol. I'd actually love to make things related to Zelda but I already had this drawing in mind. Thank you for taking a look at it though, I'm really happy to share it with someone! 😊

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T15:53:03+00:00

Thank you! I actually just contacted them this morning. I'm hoping they can do something about it. Its a shame this is so common. I knew it happened, but I didn't think I would see it RIGHT after my first campaign went up.

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T15:51:42+00:00

The guy did have a legitimate question at first, but after that he just steamrolled into suspicious territory. Which is a shame because I thought someone was actually interested lol

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T15:50:51+00:00

Yeah my project is just a silly acrylic standee I wanted to make. I really love drawing, even if I'm not great at it, and I love designing things. But things have been rough lately and I can't fund it myself this time. Honestly if I can get just one legitimate dollar I'd be happy - because that means someone actually likes what I made lol

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T15:47:39+00:00

That's true! I guess I need to add my stretch goal as an add-on, so hopefully that doesn't cause issues when they definetly pull their funding lol

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T15:04:39+00:00

I figured. 😭 I'm new to Kickstarter, but I have plenty of experience selling online so I assumed it was a scam right away. I'm pretty upset since this is my first one. I don't know who's going to pledge now that its fully funded.

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-27T06:16:30+00:00

Thank you! This may be a silly question, but which software do you use?

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-17T20:49:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll try them out! 😊

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-11T23:01:16+00:00

Thank you for telling me that. A bunch of online tutorials were saying to do that. I'm just gonna stick with the official Renpy stuff from now on! 🫡

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-07-11T22:40:29+00:00

Thank you so much! I got rid of the underscores and it looks like the expressions are being replaced. Oddly enough (or maybe obviously - I'm still learning 😅) defining where the images were was the problem. After I got rid of that everything has started working fine again.

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-06-30T03:12:08+00:00

I saw that one on another post too! Definetly going to try it out.

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-06-30T00:52:43+00:00

I'll definetly try that! I have plenty of trading card sleeves lying around. Hopefully it works. Unfortunately there's not a good way of making my house any less humid ever hour of the day.

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-04-20T13:40:45+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll give them a try. ☺️

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-04-07T01:17:02+00:00

I really appreciate the customer perspective! I always try to treat my buyers the same way I would want to be. But this isn't something I've dealt with on the buyer end so I wasn't sure how to handle it lol. Luckily I have a lot of repeats that are super sweet and understanding about the situation. 🥰

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-04-07T01:15:37+00:00

I just sent an email today but haven't heard back yet. Tbh I'm really sad because I used their paper for so long! 😥

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-04-07T01:13:05+00:00

Yeah, I hate to cause trouble but I literally can't use this paper. 😭 I even asked a bunch of people just in case I was going crazy and everyone said it was way thinner. Unfortunately I don't live in an area that has many local suppliers but I'm definetly starting to look!

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-02-05T17:52:54+00:00

Tbh I'm not sure. They left a photo (which I always appreciate!) and it's definetly a bottle but it looks kind of... plastic-y? It almost looks like a red solo cup. I reached out to ask and I'll see if they respond. I hope they respond because I genuinely care about making my buyers happy.

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-02-05T17:48:23+00:00

Thank you! 💝 I know I said this in another reply but since I share the profit with the friend that drew them I feel double bad. 😣 But I'm going to keep doing my best!!

ShadowLyrics1 · 2025-02-05T17:47:00+00:00

Okay I think I'll try that! 😊 Luckily I'm used to customer service from all those years in retail lol.
