Project Update: An Update on the new Swearmints!
Hi all.
I realize it's been a bit since our last update here. That's partly because we have been moving along in the background sending everything to the manufacturer. The final files were sent over right at the end of the summer and we are actively in manufacturing mode now. 🏭 The hardest parts are done and a lot of it is boring email exchanges and logistics. You don't wanna see that.
However this all happened a bit later than I originally planned. I unfortunately had some family mental health struggles that had to be worked through, which put me back a bit on the timeline. (This also caused a snowball effect, taking a toll on my OWN mental health for some time. Fun!) I do these creative projectsfor the millions of dollars to put my energy into something productive and to create something that others can enjoy. Now I'm back to finish this thing because I think I need it just as much as you!
So, sorry for the absent updates, but I had to put health first, and it doesn't mean NOTHING was getting done. That does mean that we will LIKELY miss our target of delivery by October, but we still SHOULD be on track for delivery this year. I plan to do everything I can to speed things up, including airshipping the Backerkit orders if needed. These games make great gifts and I want to make sure you have a chance to give them for the holidays if you wanted to.
That being said here's where everything stands and what I still have to do, beyond printing the games themselves:
🔵 Surveys: I plan on sending this out this month. This is where you will finalize your order with any extras you want, pay for shipping, and lock in your delivery address. We do this early so I can fully plan what I need to ship ahead of time. You can always adjust your shipping address up until a week or so before it ships.
🟣 Preorder Store: For anyone who didn't get a chance to be part of the campaign, you'll be able to pledge as a pre-order, which won't come with some of the free exclusive items. This should be ready around when the surveys go out.
🟢 BackerKit Exclusive Bonus Card, personalized tins: These bonuses are made in the US, so they are not affected by long overseas shipping. These are still on track to ship along with the whole package that you ordered.
🔴 Stickers: I haven't decided what I should do for the stickers yet. The tin artwork? Cards that you can "use" as stickers? Help me decide with the non-binding survey attached!
Thanks for understanding. I just want to make people laugh but sometimes life throws cabbages at your face.

Can I pick up my order at Pax Unplugged in December?
Probably! We just have to make sure everything will be in by then. Even if you pay for shipping but then decide to pick it up instead, we can just refund it for you.
More to come here once we know hard timelines.
