Hello fellow silly geese,

Hello fellow silly geese! Thank so much for your patience.
I’m happy to announce that surveys have been sent to everyone who pledged!
So be sure to check your email and fill that out! It’s really important that you do, because it collects vital info like your shipping address, charges shipping costs, and also (in my opinion, the most fun part) you get to choose what keychain you would like!
Surveys close May 8th, so you will have lots of time to fill those out or adjust anything.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Another EPIC announcement:
THE PRE-ORDER STORE is open for anyone who did not pledge! :0
Were you unable to back the campaign? Not to worry! You will be able to pre-order any of the items unlocked during the campaign in the PRE-ORDER STORE! Yippee!
You can check it out here! This store also closes on May 8th.
That’s about it for this update! Thanks for reading. Up next, I have a shipment of the bug candy shaker keychains on its way, and I can’t wait to show you! So, stay tuned for some positively radical photos of those samples!
We've unlocked the last stretch goal- the 30 CM TAMAGOTCHI BEETLE PLUSH. You can now pre-order one as a pledge or add on :D
The design is currently a work on progress, but I got images of the first prototype from my manufacturer! Prototype photos are attached to the previous project update.
Also, today (2/28) @ 4:30 pm CST, I am going LIVE on Youtube to pick the 2 winners of the beetle keychain giveaway! There will also be an exclusive bundle discount available during the stream, so don't miss out!

Aaaand... since we reached all our stretch goals so quickly I'm working on another list of new stretch goals, including some lanyards and ENAMEL PINS! :) Stay tuned for when I announce those.

These past two weeks have been incredibly rough for me- I've been dealing with a broken garage door, ants in the basement, and a trip to the hospital. It's getting ridiculous, everything is going bad all at once 😭 The worst part imo is I can't even hold my own stylus to draw (among other issues with my silly body).
However, it is time to REJOICE.
For the BUG CANDY SHAKER KEYCHAIN samples hath arrived!!
What's your favorite part of this keychain's design? Thoughts?
I think they turned out really adorable! These definitely cheered me up when they arrived in the mail. They're very fun to shake around. And yes- 1 hypothetical serving of these DOES have 90g of protein >:)
Fun info- they're very sturdy, too! The plastic is very thick and durable.
The only issue with these I noticed is that the QR code I put on the back does not actually scan. Which is very upsetting to me, because the QR code is my favorite part of the design! It goes to a rickroll hehehe.
I may adjust its placement and color before these are shipped out to you! (I think probably since it's 1. warped due to being near the bottom, and 2. too light of a color, that it won't scan properly).
That's about it for this update! Be sure to fill out your surveys before they close on May 8th. If you haven't received your survey, let me know and I can send it to you again! Bye for now 🪲
Hi all! I’ve begun the process of sending out surveys so you all can choose your keychains and pay for shipping!
To ensure the surveys are accurate, first a smoke test survey is sent out to a small percentage of you.
Be sure to check your email to see if you have received one, and send any feedback if you notice any issues!
That being said, the rest of the surveys should be sent out within the next two days, provided any issues with the surveys are resolved. Keep an eye out! 🪲
We surpassed our funding goal by a LOT and I am so very thankful you guys like these bugs as much as I do!
Cards have begun to charge today, you will get an email if it does not go through. Surveys to choose your keychains and collect shipping addresses will be sent out April 8th!
Please be sure to stick around for more updates on surveys, production progress, and all bug related shenanigans! Thank you 1 billion times over and I’ll see you in the next update <3
Hey all! There's only about 36 hours left to pledge.
Thank you SO MUCH for the incredible support so far :D
Luckily, my samples for the beetle terrarium shaker keychain arrived just in time for the end of this campaign! Take a look:
I can't embed a video but it's got a very nice sound when it shakes. It soothes my brain fr. Plus it's so fun having three little beetles that I can carry around with me anywhere I go :)
Don't miss out on any of these keychains, there's only a limited time left! Go, go, go!
Hi everyone, we're rapidly approaching the end of our campaign! Be sure to pledge before the time runs out :)
Plus, did you know that Backerkit recently released an overtime feature? If a backer train continues past the end time of the campaign, more time will be added to the project!
Let's see how much more time we can add! ⏳
Thanks for an awesome first campaign launch, everyone! Here is a worm playing the saxophone just for you ---> 🎷🐛
Hello friends, My manufacturer has sent me photos of the redesigned tamagotchi beetle plush prototype and I think it’s already looking much better!
I think the lighter thread really helps the design look more natural, the rounder body makes it so the embroidered design is actually visible on the back, plus the shorter horns just look better!
I think the only things I’m concerned about changing are the square in the middle (it’s a little lopsided) as well as making the horns more symmetrical.
What are your thoughts? Anything else you think would help improve this design?
