Hi everyone,

Since Portent wrapped, a week ago, I have taken a short breather over the weekend and then gotten down to working on the survey and the preorder store. And I'm happy to say they are coming along nicely :D

The preorder store is now open for anyone who missed out on pledging, and will be until July 31st: https://portent.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

The survey is also currently in review with the Backerkit team! I am aiming to send the survey out officially on Friday June 12, with a few people already receiving them earlier in a smoke test. The survey is a pretty complex undertaking on my part, so I'm happy to have the help of the team to make sure everyone gets the rewards they selected <3

After it opens, the survey will be open for a while (with a hard cutoff at November 31st) to allow backers with changing addresses over the year to still put in their new shipping details closer to the actual shipping date. I will not be adding anything new except the finalized designs for the pouches over the course of that time, so I'll definitely recommend not to wait unless you're still figuring out if you want those. Stay tuned for the polls, in that case ;)

After November 31st, everything is getting ready for production, with only the first print run of Portent's hardcover having all the fancy stretch goal upgrades. Completed surveys are counted for that first print run; incomplete ones are not. Backerkit will remind you regularly well before that, though, and otherwise I probably will <3

For backers of the Three of Cups tier: all shipping pricing is based somewhere between letterbox and parcel shipping, but I don't think that's fair if you supported the stickers-only tier. That's why everyone who backed the Three of Cups tier receives a €5 complimentary credit to offset that.

If at any time, you wonder how things are coming along, don't hesitate to send me a message by commenting here or on another update, poke me through the contact option in the survey, or send me a message on Instagram!

Cheers,
Natasja
