Hello everyone!! Today I am sick. But I am only a little sick. Not too sick to give everyone an update!
First off - we're almost to 50k!! Wow wow!! I'm really relieved that I'm going to have the budget to take things a little easier and focus on Petal 2 for a good while. I expect we'll be able to get the game into Early Access much faster if I can give it my whole attention - thank you all so, so much! I'm really looking forward to getting the new Petal in all your hands.
Next, a couple updates about merch! Firstly, we have our new sticker by kokuhaku!
She's here to make your dreams come true!
LOOK HOW CUTE!! If you already have or are getting the original sticker sheet, Poppille here is going to fit right in with the rest of the cast!
This bit is less exciting, but I've been doing a bunch of preparation on the backend for manufacturing and fulfilling all the rewards. Last time, I didn't start shipping out rewards until the game itself was done, but this time around I want to get them out ASAP, now that I have a lot more help with the game development part. Look at this cool custom box sample I got from EcoEnclose!
A package! How exciting!
When it comes to mailing things, huge envelopes like the ones I used last time are essentially treated like packages - so why not actually just make it a package? These thin but sturdy boxes are way more durable, and just thick enough to let me slip some enamel pins in there too! I held this box in both hands and actively tried with all my strength to bend it, and it didn't work. Maybe I could have gotten it bent eventually, but I also didn't want to damage it too bad since it's the only one I have right now.
I'm really excited to get all this Petal 2 stuff made - the pins, the posters, and of course the game itself too. Here's hoping we can make it to $55k and get Libbie and Baz back in! Thank you for all your support!
