Hi Everyone,
First and foremost, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2020 definitely had it's challenges but we are grateful that we got to start our journey of creating Racekart Riot with you!
And things progress, we wanted to let you know that we will be sending out the pledge manager to your emails within the next few days!
There are 2 rounds of the pledge manager and we wanted to explain to you how it works. The first round is what's called a smoke test. This means a small percentage of you will receive the email first so that you can run through it and make sure it works as it should. It is still the legitimate pledge manager so make sure to click on the email. As long as everything is good after the smoke test, then the pledge manager gets sent out to everyone else shortly after. The email will be coming from Backerkit (logo as shown below).
With this being said, we are starting the smoke test today meaning some of you may get an email today. If you don't, don't worry because it will be coming soon. If any of you have a question about what's in included in the pledge manager don't hesitate to send us a message and we'll respond quickly to each of you.
And with that, we are excited to get this thing moving! We'll be sharing more in the weeks to come!
Thanks, and again, Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
The Gatwick Games Team

CONGRATS GUYS, we FUNDED!!!! :D This is a time to celebrate! We wanted to thank each and every one of you for your participation and your support for Racekart Riot! It was so fun to see the story you all created and really helped this project come to life :)
Pledge Manager
The pledge manager will be available soon. In the pledge manager you'll be able to update your pledges, select add-ons, and confirm shipping information. The pledge manager will get sent to your emails. The pledge manager is important to fill out because it is what gets transferred over to our system and tells us where to ship which products, so make sure to look out for the email soon!
Box Question
We have had several backers express concern for the new box style that we had been thinking of (the one in the video). We totally understand the concerns, especially with the durability of the original box. We also have had a lot of people that love the new box idea! If you could all click on the link below and fill out this survey it would help us a ton! The survey is just asking for whether you prefer the new box style or a normal lid box style.

We are so extremely excited that we unlocked the double sided board, but we still have one more stretch goal to unlock: a new character.
And with that, we wanted to unveil it to you to share with your friends:
Evil Eye
Evil Eye is one bad.....thing. Being from a world that wanted to abduct planet earth, Evil Eye decided that he had an even more evil plan.....TO WIN THE RUBY CUP! His friends didn't think he could do it, but he's here to prove them wrong. Being rejected initially, he came later that day to try to brainwash the race officials. Whether Evil Eye joins the race is up to YOU!!!! Will he brainwash the officials to let him in? Or will he not be strong enough and fade in to a memory.....a very weird-evil memory?
We also only have a few more days left for the FINAL VOTING RACE!!! Check below to see Redbane's amazing come back! Will he come back and win the race? Vote daily to help decide this race. We also wanted to do another shout out to @Draki!!! You guys are amazing! Keep the comments up, we will announce one more backer to be featured in the rulebook at the end of the campaign!!!
48 more hours! We can't believe we are already nearing the end of the campaign. You guys are amazing. To unlock Evil Eye we need another $9k to raise!!! Share with your friends, your family, your enemies, your pets....anyone and anything so that we can unlock all stretch goals :D

Hey everyone, we can't believe that between one day and the next things are doing so well! We are so happy to announce that we UNLOCKED THE DOUBLE SIDED BOARD!!! And with that..........
........dundundundundundundundundundundundundundundundundundundund...........
........the second side of the board is a Beach!!!! Check below for some sneak peaks
Some of the ideas we have for this board is rolling to pass through crabs (kind of like the lava on Redbane's Castle), waterfalls, and other fun elements. Also a new low tide/high tide element.
What other ideas can you think of to make this map even more fun? Also, what should we name it?
And to finish this update off, we want to throw in a switcheroonie to the voting race. REDBANE HAS JOINED!!! Can he get enough fans to help him come back and win the race?? Only you can decide that :)
Just a few more days everyone, let's push push push so that we can unlock one more Character :D Share with your friends and family on social media during these last days so that we can win the race on a HIGH!!!

Hi Everyone!
We can't believe that we're already nearing the end of the campaign. It has been so amazing to see all of your comments and participation. You are all what has made this so fun :D Let's keep this fun going! One week to go until the end of the campaign so let's push to the finish! Less than $1k until we reach the next stretch goal for the double sided game board. We are so excited!!!
RACE WINNER
Thank you all for the continued story progression. It's so fun to see the story unfold. For this race the winner is.............budabudabudabudabudabudabudabudabudabudabudabudabudabudabudabuda............SONICO OXBLADE, and his trusty OSTRICH!!! Take it away in the comments to finish off this race ;)
For this race, the new backer that we would like to highlight in the rulebook is @Nekkral. Thanks for being such a great fan and being active in the comments :D We will be announcing one new race soon to vote on and we'll add one more backer in to the rules, so keep the comments up!!!
New Racer Reveal!
And now we want to announce our newest character, that has been a mystery up until this point:
Lightning and Thunda, the Electric Duo
Lightning realized that she was special as a baby when she got zapped by a lightning bolt and survived it. Shortly after her electrocution a little thundercloud showed up in her room and became her best friend from there on out. The team wanted to use their powers for something fun so they decided to create a racekart powered by their energy. They achieved such fast speeds that they decided they would try out for the Ruby Cup!
And that's it for this update. Thank you all again for your support! Let's keep running to the finish line! We are stoked to show you more of the game and for you to all play it. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO :D
Send us your final thoughts for what you'd like for the second side of the board! You're welcome to send us new ideas, but also send us what your favorite have been from the ones people have commented!!! It's exciting to see everyone's ideas :)
