Project Update: Survey Reminder - Due in less than a week! Plus, new campaign live now!
I just wanted to post a reminder that surveys are due for this campaign on the 15th!
Thank you to everyone who has already filled it out! There are 11 of you who still need to, so please fill it out ASAP.
Outside of that, I've launched a new campaign as part of the A Pin Of Pride group collab! Love is Super Effective is an expansion on my existing Pokeball mini pins, now with pride flags! Follow the campaign HERE or click the banner!
If you back 3+ campaigns in the collab, you'll get a free pin from each of us! And since you've backed a previous campaign of mine, you will get a free sticker as well if you back!
I hope you all are having a good March so far! Thank you again for all the support!
Much love,
Katze

Project Update: Smoke Tests have been sent! Plus, poll for a sequel campaign -- what console should we do next?
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 guarantee that 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!
Much love,
Katze
Project Update: LAST DAY! đâĄī¸
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°
Let the countdown begin! Thank you again for being here đđ
Project Update: Tinkatuff Design - Goal Lowered!
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
Thank you!

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)
Our first sponsor is leaving the sponsor design to you the backers! Who would you like to be added to the campaign?

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!
