While working on the files for my factory, I have come to the realization I am unhappy with one of the designs. I tried tweaking the design slightly but in the end, I just couldn't get it to work to my standard.

I've decided the best option is to change the design.

There are three new options and I will allow backers to vote which they'd like to see the most. These were designs that I created earlier but saved for possible future blindbags.

The three options: Bee, Zombie, Red Fox

Please vote as soon as possible so we can get these pins into production.

If you are unhappy with the change and would like to change the pin set you chose, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I would be happy to help. :)

I want to personally thank everyone who backed the project today. As of this first update, we have funded the first set - Nub Club. In my professional plushie opinion, that's amazing first day progress!!!

We still have three weeks to work on fundraising the next four pin sets: Fluffy Bugs, Dino Dogs, Fuzzy Fawns, Cozy Cubs, and some other secret hidden goals. That is more than enough time.

I know a lot of backers have come from our collab partner's project Rain Beanies. I want to welcome you to our little community and thank you for exploring new projects. Hello!! Welcome to Snoozelings!!!

As mentioned in our project, all enamel pins come with a free matching code for an in game item. This includes your Dash/Taffy mystery pin from backing both projects. Here is a sneak peak of those items.

As promised, we will be going into depth about a single aspect of the game each day. This will help teach new players about Snoozelings while offering some fun insight to already experienced players.

Today we are talking about the main species: Snoozelings.

Snoozelings are plush-like magical creatures that are alive thanks to the special bond between them and dreamers (our playerbase). It's the positive energy we create when we show kindness (to others and ourselves) that helps to bring them alive. With this energy, they love to play and gather hoards of materials.

Thanks to this love, they do not need to eat or sleep. Instead, they can spend their nights cuddled up against your side protecting you from bad dreams while keeping you warm.

Because Snoozelings are plushies, they are sexless. Though they are able to express their gender in many different ways and pick from a wide array of pronouns. Very often they love to match their dreamer's pronouns since they share such a close bond, but this isn't always the case.

Snoozelings are very varied creatures with millions of possibilities. At this time of writing, there are currently:

This doesn't even include the wide vary of clothing each snoozeling can wear. With hundreds of clothing items (if we include clothing dyes), the possibilities of their unique expressions are endless.

Tomorrow we will return with another game feature about one of our mechanics!!

As a special treat, here are a BUNCH of snoozelings currently cared for by our dreamers.

Two small updates today.

We are still waiting on our collaboration pins. Thank you for your patience. The Rainbeanies kickstarter had so many backers so they have a lot more inspections to do than we did. Rest assured, I am keeping close communication with Hannimations and we should hopefully recieve these pins soon.

As you may know, De Minimus expired at the end of August. Before it meant that all packages under 800$ USD value were not subject to any fees/duties/tariffs. Because of this ending, mailing to our loyal USA customer base will be more difficult than ever.

That being said, every single USA customer will still recieve their pins with no additional costs, as promised. I have set up a Zonos account through Canada Post which should allow me to prepay the tariffs at my own personal expense. I'm keeping an eye on how the process is working and by the time we ship, the postal services should have the process moving smoothly.

If you would like to donate for the additional costs of the tariffs (we estimate at least 400-500$ total), we will provide our Kofi link once the campaign is over and all items are properly shipped.

On a more positive note, we have started a twitch channel for Slothie [Snoozelings Developer / Creator].

If you are unable to donate anything, this would be an amazing way to support our game. With enough views, followers, and friendly faces in the chat, we can start earing additional revenue through twitch ads. And this comes at no cost to you. <3

The streams are Productivity streams. This means there is no camera or microphone. Just smooth lofi music for everyone to vibe to. You can keep an eye on what I'm working on (usually artwork) as you work on your to do list. Then we all take collective breaks to chat and relax.

If you would like to check out our Twitch channel, you can click here.

(We are currently live at the time of posting for this update!!! Come say hi!!!)

A quick post to let everyone know that shipping will begin soon.

I've inspected and packaged all pins. All packages have also been packed. The only thing I'm waiting on now is the collaboration pin from the Rainbeanies campaign. As soon as those arrive, I can throw one into each envelope and begin printing shipping labels.

If you are one of the few packages without the collaboration pin, your package will ship this week.

Thank you for your patience. <3
