Hey everyone!

I have some good news to share with you all today! I have been in contact with the manufacturer over the past couple of months and we are making progress on the plushies.

Currently they are working on a new Pocketcat prototype based on these edits I suggested from the previous one. The old prototypes were unfortunately discarded due to the long time without updates, so we're working on reconstructing them.

For Moonless we're in the process of working out materials. I've picked out these two combos and the manufacturer is going to try both and I'll decide where to go from there.

COMBO 1:

COMBO 2:

The Kalev keychains I'm being told are wrapped up, awaiting certification that they are safe and legal to be sold in the UK!

Again, I can only apologise about the continued delays and lapses in communication. We appreciate your continued support throughout this period. I hope to have another update for you all soon with the finished final prototype of Pocketcat.

First off, I'd like to apologise profusely for the wait in updates. As I've previously said, health issues have delayed the project.

The past month or so I've been making a return to work, however issues have delayed this update as I've been trying to get a concrete update for you.

There are two main issues with the plushies and project.

The main problem is that after making my first 2 prototypes, the manufacturer became very evasive. They have been replying very sparsely for a while now and the replies we do get just say that they hope to have more information soon. This includes the Moonless prototype and final Pocketcat pre-production prototype, as well as several other plush prototypes to the amount of over 1000USD+.

I have recently, in the past two weeks, been informed that my agent has left the manufacturer and forgot to put me in contact with somebody else. I have been promised a full update within the next 2 weeks. This comes after I formally started the refund process with my bank, but I will be holding off to see if they actually send an update or continue to delay. If that's the case, I will be pursuing a full refund from my bank and finding a new manufacturer to proceed with.

The other issue is my health. As I'm sure most of you are aware from some previous announcements I have been suffering from deteriorating health for some time. I have recently received a few diagnoses which have helped us better understand what's happening but unfortunately they are lifelong problems and the pace of everything needs to be manageable for me. We have also both had stressful and unexpected life events lately which have halted things even further. We understand the wait has been long and the lack of updates is frustrating. These aren't meant to be excuses as there really aren't any for the lack of communication. I just hope you can understand the difficulties of our situation.

We have been actively updating people in our Discord when asked about the project, however we realise this left a lot of people not present unaware of what was happening. From now on we will stop writing important updates in there, and return to updating via Backerkit.

Due to these ongoing problems I have struggled a lot with staying in contact with people which is why that role has been given to my partner. If you need to contact someone with any concerns or questions it should no longer be directed to me. My partner is happy to answer direct messages on discord (user: jaidenthebear) and they will deal with any future emails ([email protected]) etc. They have also been given access to my KS account in order to reply to any important comments.

Anybody waiting on a response from me should resend it as you will not receive a response otherwise. I can only apologise about this.

I understand some people may have worries about the legitimacy of the campaign, so I have attached the order details from my manufacturer. This details the Pocketcat (100) and Kalev (50) plushies.

This does not include the Moonless plushies, which the manufacturer has not finished the prototype for. I am only able to get a final price for the order and make the purchase when the prototype is complete, which I will do once I receive word back.

Again, I apologise for the very long delay. My goal in the future is to return to monthly updates on BK, even when there is nothing important to update on, just to let people know I am still around and working on things in the background.

I thank everyone for their patience, and hope to return soon with an update on the plush.
