Selius here, bringing you the final Backerkit Update for this project. As of now, every order is now shipped, save for those who have yet to complete their surveys. If you completed your survey, you should have a tracking number at the very least, or perhaps already have the goods!
Which means I can now finally hang my own calendars and prints. It was a personal goal to hold off until I could officially dust my hands of mailers, tape, and boxes. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's calendars a reality. It really does mean the world to us.
If you have any questions about your pledge, please reach out any time. We do everything we can to ensure our packages are properly processed, but anything can happen once they're out of our hands. Hit us up on Discord or via email and I'll get back to you ASAP.
Thank you again, delvers. Can't want to talk to you again soon.
Long live love, Selius and the Heartleaf Games crew
P.S. I will be closing the pre-order store tomorrow!
Before I begin, please look at this huge pile of boxes in our office, the debris left over from packing every calendar order!
There is a certain, extremely satisfying catharsis to breaking down boxes - Lexi
The folks at the Heartleaf office launched themselves headlong into getting these orders packed up, labeled, and brought in loads of 50-100 packages at a time to the post office (they know us by name these days). If you are a domestic backer and have not already received your calendar and/or prints and addons, you should very soon! Shippo automatically sends you a tracking number after we label your package—be on the lookout for an email from [email protected].
Every single domestic orders should be in the mail by Monday, and all international orders should be too! Health and weather willing.
International Backers
For the international orders, Selius is working hard getting your customs forms all set up for the labels of your packages. All of them are already packed and awaiting transport to the post, all they need are those customs forms so you can actually receive them. It's a more complicated process that takes a bit longer for every package.
Thank you again for being patient with us, we're extremely eager to finally put all of this beautiful work into your hands.
The calendars have arrived at our office in Buffalo, which means shipping will now commence! In preparation for that, all orders will lock tonight, including shipping addresses. As well, we will finally collect shipping and handling fees in order to begin purchasing labels. Shipping will be charged tomorrow morning! If you need to make any changes, you can do so today. Starting tomorrow, you’ll just need to reach out to us for any last-minute adjustments.
Packages will begin going out on Monday, and if all goes well, we’re striving to have all orders completed by the end of the week. We have a logistical challenge ahead, with Lexi and myself out of town for FurSquared and Motor City Fur Con. But Lommi and Cullen are at home base and will tear through with verve and dogged determination. Also, I’ll be assisting from afar! We’ll be in perfect sync, a well-oiled machine…
Pictured: verve and dogged determination
With the calendars and prints in our hands, we couldn’t be happier with the quality. And now, it’s time to get them in your hands, too.
As we assemble orders and print shipping labels this coming week, we’ll keep you in the loop with our progress. If you have any questions as we go, please feel free to email us, or join our Discord server for quicker correspondence (discord.gg/beastword)!
That’s all for now. Talk to you again soon, delvers.
The foil stamps are looking great this year
Boxes full of prints! This is only half of them
All of the prints have arrived in the office today, and we expect all of the calendars to be right behind them, which means you will start getting shipment notifications soon! Thank you so much for your patience this year.
If there's any changes to your address that need to be made, time is about to run out. You'll soon be receiving a notice about shipping charges (which were not charged when you filled out the survey), as well as a final warning before addresses are locked.
I've updated the digital files for the feminine 2026 calendar, as well as the feminine 2026 prints! It contains the correct file for Takki's stunning "Curio Dealer" piece featuring a human shaman and a jackal. I had erroneously included a file that was a WIP and not the final piece. Don't worry about your prints - those will be the right version when they arrive as well!
