Returning with updates here:

Ok, the tech team told me they are still investigating the logs and looking into providing the appropriate GalaCredit to those who did not get it yet, if the sum won't be added this week, support should be contacted. Sorry about the delay.

A probable cause why the lists weren't updated is due to a larger (than usual) number of simultaneous winners than the lists could manage.

Ni no Kuni page is down for some technical modifications from what I was informed (edit: but will return soon.)

Ulterior edit: the next theme will be related to Die Young (the game we will be releasing from Early Access in 2 days)

Hi Mr Gentleman, i would like to ask whats going on now, are they still checking maybe? Or are they done now and i have no Luck to get any Reward, cause New Week started and i still got nothing. I also wrote them and still no Answer from them, i dont even know if i wrote to the right EMail Address.

I really dont know whats going on, why i got 3 Times no Reward, am i am cursed or what? :D
Even if i cant get anything from the 2 other Quizes before the Reset. Would be nice if would get at least for that 1 Quiz something. Its little bit sad. :( :rolleyes:

Thanks in Advance and hope Today the Quiz works and i hope that if i get all right, finaly get something again. Or else i dont know what to do.

Best Regards

And here is the screenshot I took

Ok, I have returned, I have been away during the weekend so I reused the same quiz. Looking into preparing some fresh ones for this week.

Tech team didn't quite inform me if everything was solved, but based on the feedback some still didn't get their credit, I guess support@indiegala.com can have a look into it, because I personally do not have access to award individually credit (sorry).

As for the visual glitch missing points I personally don't know if it is still occurring (it didn't happen to me yet), but based on the experience of others this can happen when one answers in the last second of the question (at the transition of 1 to 0). So depending on someone's reflexes or just connection lag, one would think they answered properly, but the system sometimes input might act differently, like in cases when the visual output says it is wrong but the answer is actually counted as right. I guess there might also be situations where simply the first question is the culprit, since some people get 540 instead of 550, and the first question is worth 10 points (the 2nd 20, the 3rd 30 and so on). I am still hoping they will look into it, but in the meantime I will try my best to make the 1st question as easy as possible to avoid such situations.

Fourthly, I did not get around to making a poll to optimize the hour when most people will be able to join, I will try doing it tonight and see on what the majority decides.

And lastly, I got the negative -1 before the quiz starts as well, and I think I should warn people about the cause: I had the quiz tab opened for hours (probably hibernated my pc as well in the mean time) and it probably timed out, it didn't happen before to me, but ideally it would be if participants refreshed the page 10-20 minutes before the timer hits zero, just in case. The idea behind it is that the definitive warm-up timer is set to start 30 minutes prior the start of the quiz, so some cache/data get exchanged so that might break it for some people unless the page is refreshed.

My personal experience : Starting or refreshing page with live quiz 3 minutes before counter reaches zeros (0:0:0:0). Answering questions ONLY as soon as possible or playing headhunter before quiz starts! And most of times is it working. ;)

Yep, it's still happening. And as you can see, I didn't answer at the last moment, in fact I actually answered around 5 or 6 second mark. I still got all the points though, so it was a strictly visual bug for me.

Fourthly, I did not get around to making a poll to optimize the hour when most people will be able to join, I will try doing it tonight and see on what the majority decides.
I'm both excited and slightly worried about this poll. What if the popular time turns out not to be an hour earlier as it was before? What if it moves to a completely unreasonable slot for me? I guess we'll see :)

And lastly, I got the negative -1 before the quiz starts as well, and I think I should warn people about the cause: I had the quiz tab opened for hours (probably hibernated my pc as well in the mean time) and it probably timed out, it didn't happen before to me, but ideally it would be if participants refreshed the page 10-20 minutes before the timer hits zero, just in case. The idea behind it is that the definitive warm-up timer is set to start 30 minutes prior the start of the quiz, so some cache/data get exchanged so that might break it for some people unless the page is refreshed.
I don't think that an old quiz tab is the only culprit. I deleted cookies and logged in about 5-10 minutes before the quiz started and got -1-1-1-1 after the timer reached zero. I managed to reopen the quiz in another tab in time to get all the questions, but the tab with -1 timer just stayed like that.

Now about timer shenanigans and why I was messing with cookies right before the quiz: today I noticed that the timer on quiz page was 5 seconds behind the timer on main page, so I tried deleting cookies and then the timer on quiz page was 1 second AHEAD of the one on main page. Then I tried playing the hint mini-game and reloaded the page and the timer was 5 seconds behind again! So I deleted the cookies again and waited for the quiz with the faster timer. I always play for hints before the quiz and that's the first time in a while that I had problems with the quiz starting, except for the cases where everyone had problems. It's really weird that playing the mini-game affects the timer.

EDIT: So today I tried looking at timer behavior again and it seems I was wrong about quiz page timer being somehow dependent on the game. I logged in in another browser and the quiz page was 12 seconds ahead of the main page. Several minutes later I noticed that the timer was now 15 seconds ahead! I refreshed the page and the timer was now the same as in the first browser.
So the game doesn't seem to be at fault and the timer is out of sync on fresh login which gets fixed with a refresh. Though it was still several seconds away from the timer on main page, which is not a huge issue unless you're waiting until the last second to open the quiz page but still weird.

Weird, I got the visual bug there too, but got all the points. I keep pestering the tech ppl with this, but I might have a feeling they couldn't exactly pinpoint the exact cause either yet. Sorry about that.

Scare them by their wallets, these mysterious bugs are effectively turning the quiz into a raffle and there may be tax repercussions for the organizer! :p

Same here. On question 3 choosing the correct answer I got the visual bug and then I only got 520 points.
Same happened to me. Previously getting the visual bug didn' t mess up the point, but this time and the previous time I got it, it did mess up the score.
