Great news -- the setup review for surveys passed all checks, and I was given the go ahead to send smoke tests.
A select few of you will recieve a link to complete your survey tonight. If you did, please fill it out ASAP! Additionally, if there are any issues, please let me know via a comment, dm, or email. I want to resolve any issues before it goes out to the masses, so it's vital you give me feedback if there is any to be had!
The main survey will launch on February 26th for all backers. You will have until March 12th to complete your survey. If you have not completed your survey at this point, I will not be able to guaranteethat the items you want will be avaliable to you, as I will be determining how many of each pin/keychain/etc I need to order thru the counts I get from the survey.
Last but not least, I've attatched a poll asking what you'd prefer for a sequel campaign to this one -- the options are Gamecube, Wii, or Handhelds (Gameboy + the DS family!)!
That's all from me for now. I hope you've all been well this week!
We're almost at the finish line, so let's take a moment to look at the newest little bugs we created and unlocked together just within the last week!!! Thank you all for your votes, suggestions, and pledges to make it happen â¨â¨â¨
Everything on my page has officially been unlocked and I'm so happy you all showed up to support my work! To celebrate such an incredible milestone, anyone who is backing this project will receive an illustrated thank you card in the mail đ
We've got 20 hours left before this bug campaign officially ends so if you're still on the fence, consider this:
The glittery, Rare Pocket Bugs can only be purchased here, during this campaign~
Every extra pin is only $12 right now! (Most of them cost extra to make, but weâre keeping pricing simple and affordable for this campaign~)
After this campaign ends, all extra pins will be $15 - 20 each and sold only in mystery bags, so this is your only chance to pick the exact designs you want!
And lastly, every pledge helps me order higher quantities at better rates, which supports my business and team for the year ahead!! Inventory funding is rough, so your support here really makes a hugeee difference đĨ°
Before I go, these two products have been the most popular talk on social media so I'm sharing them here so we can appreciate them a little more!! I'm so happy they're unlocked + now available as Add-ons~
Let the countdown begin! Thank you again for being here đđ
Sorry for the long pause! I had back-to-back conventions to attend to! However, the Tinkatuff design has been finished and because she is one of my favorite PokÊmon, Iâve lowered the goal amount for her because Iâd REALLY like to see her get made. So Iâm ready and willing to put some more of my own coin in to get her! â¤ī¸
Because of this though, and so no one is pledging for a pin that isnât made. The stretch goal of $4,000 has been changed to simply a freebie print given to all $30 pledgers. Sorry for anyone who was hoping to see other fairy PokÊmon! I just donât want to rush any designs or leave anyone hanging. This project has been incredibly successful though and Iâm so thankful for all the support! So I plan on doing another one next year! Instead of fairy though Iâm thinkingâĻ. Something poisonous. đ
I finished up the backer voted pin! Meet Derpy and Sussie! They will be a 2â normal pin, black plating!
For the pins that didnât win the poll (like the forest spirit) Iâll try my best to have them done for the reward survey. The forest spirit is a lot more detailed than the other 3 choices so I cant make any promises but Iâll do my absolute best to make sure I have available to unlock on the survey. If the forest spirit does not make it to the survey I promise itâll appear whenever I next do media monsters 3!
How did yall like the double poll system? I worry it was a bit confusing, but until Backerkit implements a multi choice selection poll this is the best way to let everyoneâs vote matter. If we left it to the one poll Neopets wouldâve won by a decent margin. It was almost last place on the 2nd poll. (I do hope to be able to finish a Neopet or two for the survey though since theyâre all a pretty simple designâĻ and yall may have made me log back into my Neopets account and feed my pets for the first time in 1.5 years)
Finally! For those of you interested in HSR, the Phainon campaign only has a day and a half left! This one is a single pin passion project of mine Iâve been wanting to do for a while now! There will be a shipping credit on this campaign for folk who order the Phainon pin!
I appreciate all yâallâs support and I look forward to continuing to bring yall along the design process and continue to keep making the pins yâall want to see most! Plus yall keep me young with suggestions like Vicar.
If you want more behind the scenes, to just chat with me, or to otherwise watch me suffer in real time, please come hang out on my discord!
I also tend to bounce ideas off the folk in my discord when prepping for campaigns and I often take inspiration for future projects from them. Like some requested I do cryptids and itâs changed my biblically accurate animals campaign into biblically accurate animals & cryptids for next years Pintopia.
I probably wonât be posting another update until after the campaign closes as I am going to try to take this week off and then get to work making the pins for the survey but know I couldnât have done any of this without yall and I cannot wait to bring these pins to life!
Vote for which fairy trainer you'd like to see a mini print of! This print will be free for pledge amounts of $30 or more. It will also be available as an add-on for $5. (Also-also, I'm thinking of making stickers for the highest voted ones as well! :3c)
Hey there, thanks so much for following along with this campaign! I'd love to get a chance to talk N64 with you guys!
So, if you don't mind sharing, which pin or pins do you want to back for? Do you have any special "64 Bit Memories" of your own you'd like to share?
I'll start with one of my favorite memories!
OOT was my first game, ever. I played it at around 4 years old. I was so enamoured with the Kokiri Forest, I would just run around there and talk to my "friends" in the forest. My older brother was the one to inform me that there was more to the game than just that.
Then, when I did start adventuring beyond the forest, I was so scared of the guards leading up to the Forest Temple that I'd start crying and my brother would have to get me past them. However, butthead that he is, he decided that the best way to teach me to problem solve on my own was to insist that any time I asked for his help, I'd have to restart my WHOLE. GAME.
Needless to say, I know know OOT like the back of my hand. I've spent countless hours between my childhood in game and my adulthood in rando.
What about y'all? I'm excited to hear everyone's stories with these games. I know they mean so much to so many of us!
