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.
Tariffs - USA Customers Only
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.
Snoozeling Twitch Streams
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.
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.
Pins are finished and on their way to me. The only thing we are waiting on now is the Hannimations pin for cross collaborators. But if you only backed our project, I should be able to ship your items towards the end of the month.
Cards will be charged for the remaining shipping costs June 10th. Any cards that do not go through will be attempted again on June 15th.
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 am doing much better so I'm here to give everyone an update. The Backerkit Surveys are sent. Each backer will be sent a survey to their email where they can choose their pins and enter their address.
Survey Information:
Addresses can be changed until we lock surveys in June
Cross Collaboration Bonuses will be added automatically
You are able to buy more items through our Add On store if you wish
Once your survey is filled out, I will slowly be sending out early access codes to the emails you provided. These are sent by hand and may take some time. You will recieve a code through your email.
Pins and matching codes for the game will not be sent until June/July. All codes will be included in your package on a little slip of paper. Each code can only be used once so please don't share your codes.
We have also added an option to be charged for Shipping in June instead of immeadiately. Please keep in mind that if you buy Add On items, you will likely be charged for your entire order right away.
