– Fri, Jul 24, 2026 at 09:28:26 AM
Hey everyone!
The smoke test went off without a single hitch, and we are officially about to open the reception doors to everyone! Full surveys will be hitting the inboxes of 100% of our backers today.
Keep your eyes peeled today so you can lock in your rewards and confirm your shipping details the second your invite arrives!
How to Find Your Survey
Search your email inbox for an invite sent from BackerKit or Lethal Wedding.
Check your Spam, Junk, and Promotions folders: Email filters can occasionally hide survey invites away in the wrong folder.
Direct BackerKit Access: You can also go directly to BackerKit, enter the email address tied to your Kickstarter account, and access your survey right on the spot.
If it's still playing hide-and-seek, just send us a message at [email protected], and we'll help you track it down faster than a runaway bride.
What You'll Do in Your Survey
When your survey arrives, it only takes a couple of minutes to finish up. Inside, you will be able to:
Confirm your shipping address so we know exactly where to send your physical loot.
Choose your cartridge variants (like Sega Genesis vs. Mega Drive options).
Grab any add-ons you missed during the campaign rush, like the Fatman & Team Fat Deluxe OST CD, Vinyl LP, Bill Tiller Special Key Art poster (exclusive to those who order an LE), or extra game cartridges.
Important Note from BackerKit:If you backed the project using an Apple ID login or a private relay email address, survey emails frequently get lost or blocked by Apple's privacy filters.
If you haven't received your email after the full rollout in 48 hours, you can log directly into BackerKit using your main Kickstarter email address.
As soon as your email lands, getting your survey filled out quickly helps us lock down exact production numbers with our manufacturers and keep everything running right on schedule.
Thank you all so much for your support. We'll be back soon with a fresh look at game progress and the opening of the pre-order store!

💌 Time to RSVP! BackerKit Smoke Test Surveys Are Rolling Out
2 months ago
– Wed, Jul 22, 2026 at 11:06:13 AM
Hey everyone,
The party isn't over yet! We are taking the next big step toward getting your physical cartridges, CDs, and retro gear manufactured and shipped. The BackerKit pledge manager is built, tested, and ready to go.
Before we open the reception doors to everyone all at once, we are running a quick Smoke Test today.
Think of it as a quick trial run before the main event. BackerKit sends survey emails to a random 5% of backers first. This lets us double-check that all the reward tiers, regional shipping math, and add-on options are working cleanly without any weird hiccups before we open the floodgates for the rest of the guests.
What Do You Need to Do?
If you get an email today: You're in the initial test group! Please go ahead, fill out your survey, lock in your options, and let us know if anything looks strange. Your early feedback helps us make sure the rollout stays smooth for the rest of the community.
If you DO NOT get an email today: Don't worry! You haven't been left off the guest list. As long as the test run goes smoothly, the remaining 95% of surveys will hit your inbox over the next 24 to 48 hours.

What's Next?
Keep an eye on your inbox over the next day or two. We will post another quick update here the second the full rollout goes live for 100% of backers.
Thanks for hanging in there while we sort out the guest list! Back to the altar for us.

Cake is Cut, Campaign is Closed! 389% Funded!
3 months ago
– Thu, Jul 02, 2026 at 11:33:07 AM
The final bell has rung, the reception doors are closed, and we are standing here completely blown away. The Lethal Wedding Kickstarter campaign is officially over, and you all absolutely crushed it.
Saying thank you honestly doesn't feel like enough, but from the bottom of our hearts, a massive, bloody thank you to everyone who backed the project, shared the link, or just cheered us on in the comments. You are the reason this game is coming to life on Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, and Steam.
VICTORY IS SWEET. AND A LITTLE BLOODY.
Thanks to your unbelievable support, Lethal Wedding is officially a reality. Look at what we managed to pull off together during this crazy month:
Funded in 90 Minutes: You completely shattered our initial goal before we even had time to process the launch day nerves.
749 Backers: A full army of retro arcade fans stepped up to support this game.
$58,467 Total Funding: You pushed us to a massive 389% funded finish, unlocking some incredible upgrades along the way.
Look At What We Unlocked!
Because you all absolutely destroyed our funding goals, we didn't just fund the base game. We managed to clear some massive milestones together, meaning everyone gets a serious upgrade to their rewards:
LucasArts legend Bill Tiller (The Curse of Monkey Island) is officially lending his iconic art style to Lethal Wedding! Complete-in-Box backers can now opt for an exclusive alternate box art design via their BackerKit survey.
Backers with a Limited Edition cartridge (tier or add-on) will also receive an exclusive physical poster! As a thank you, we are also adding the digital Bill Tiller poster to ALL digital and physical reward-tier bundles. No matter how you backed us, you're getting a piece of this legendary collaboration.
(Important Note: Poster is an LE bonus item and won't be sold separately).
$50K Unlocked – The Fatman & Team Fat Deluxe OST CD:
The legendary duo behind the Zombies Ate My Neighbors soundtrack, George Sanger and Joe McDermott, is officially bringing a face-melting chiptune score to the game! This unlocks a physical Deluxe OST CD add-on complete with the original soundtrack and brand-new exclusive tracks. Even better: EVERY single backer across all tiers will now automatically receive the digital Fat Adventures coloring book in their rewards bundle!
Missed out on adding the CD during the live campaign? Don't worry, you will still have the opportunity to update your pledge and select more-add ons once the BackerKit Survey is sent out in the coming weeks.
So, What Happens Next?
Now that the live campaign is wrapped, we are moving straight out of fundraising mode and deeper into production. Here is a quick, practical roadmap of what you need to look out for over the next few weeks:
Check Your Payment: Kickstarter will now process all pledges. They will email you directly if there are any issues with your payment information. Please keep an eye on your inbox for any messages from them.
Wait for the Survey: After Kickstarter has finished processing everything, we will send out a survey through our pledge manager. This is where you will be able to confirm your rewards, provide your shipping address, and grab any last-minute add-ons you might have missed. Keep an eye on your email for that!
Keeping in Touch: The campaign might be over, but you won't be left in the dark. We are going to keep posting regular updates right here on Kickstarter to show you our ongoing development progress, art assets, behind-the-scenes milestones, and manufacturing steps. You're with us all the way to the finish line.
Thank you all again for an absolutely unforgettable month. Celebrate the win with us, take a breather, and we'll talk to you very soon. Time for us to head back into the dev trenches and build the best Sega Genesis game we possibly can!

Last Call for Exclusive Loot
With the clock ticking down fast, this is your absolute last chance to lock in your backer tier or grab those limited-edition extras. Once the timer hits zero, these Kickstarter exclusive rewards are gone for good.
From Limited Edition Sega Genesis cartridges and the killer Vinyl LP, to custom Shadowboxes, enamel pins, and bullet resin coasters, there is a ton of crazy gear up for grabs.
Plus, thanks to everyone absolutely destroying our milestones, we unlocked some massive upgrades along the way. That includes the Bill Tiller Kickstarter Exclusive Poster and Box Art at $45k and the Fatman and Team Fat Deluxe OST CD Add-On at $50k (which also adds a free digital coloring book to everyone's rewards bundle).
If you want to grab that physical CD, the vinyl, or upgrade to a complete-in-box Limited Edition Cartridge, do it right now by editing your pledge before the reception doors lock forever.
The Final Push: Let's Unlock Console Ports!
Even though the clock is winding down, we aren't done pushing just yet. We still have locked stretch goals sitting on the horizon, and a huge final surge in these last 24 hours could blast us right through them.
The main target in our sights right now is Console Ports:

48 Hours to Go! Inside Devblog #2 and the Final Race to the Nintendo Switch Goal!
3 months ago
– Tue, Jun 30, 2026 at 09:20:40 AM
The final 48-hour countdown is officially on, and the reception doors are about to lock!
If you’ve been sitting in the back row waiting to make your move, or wanting to snag that newly unlocked Deluxe Physical CD add-on, this is your last chance to crash the party. Once these two days are up, the campaign wraps and these exclusive rewards are locked away for good.
Here is what we are looking at for these last two days:
🎮 The Next Major Goal: Nintendo Switch Port at $60K!
Thanks to you guys completely blasting through the $50k mark, we are agonizingly close to our next massive milestone. If we hit $60,000, we will officially be able to bring Lethal Wedding to the Nintendo Switch!
Getting this game onto a handheld console would be incredible, and we are just a short distance away from making it a reality. Let's give it everything we've got in these last 48 hours to clear this goal and lock it down. Every single share, tweet, and pledge upgrade helps get us over the line!
Devblog #2 is Live!
We’re still grinding away on the actual game while the campaign wraps up. We just uploaded Devblog #2 over on YouTube to give you a proper look at our design philosophy, team dynamics, and how we're pushing the Sega Genesis hardware.
Here is a quick gist of what the team covers in this update:
Balancing Absurd Action & Systems: How we mix over-the-top humor (like hats shooting explosive rabbits) with punchy combat, plus a look at our playstyle-altering Vow system and couch co-op.
The Realities of Retro Dev: Why developing for Sega Genesis cartridges means mapping everything out on paper first, and how we are stress-testing the game for a completely bug-free launch with no modern patches needed.
Our Team Dynamics: A look inside our studio culture, showing how we collaborate openly across different generations and build strong friendships around a shared passion for making cool art.
Watch the full update below:
Take a look, let us know what you think in the video comments, and make sure to subscribe so you can follow along once the Kickstarter ends and we dive fully into production.
Let's Finish Strong!
We cannot thank you all enough for the mind-blowing support over the last few weeks. Let's make these final 48 hours count, spread the word, and secure that Switch port!
