Project Update: Pins & Proofs!
The enamel pins just got here yesterday, and they look great! I'm really happy with how they came out. Making enamel pins is so fun, it turns out. I'm gonna turn into an enamel pin making person and make 999 of them
There is a small error in one of them that's my fault, though - the small area between Poppille's hair and her robe was meant to be a cutout. When I had them change the light cool gray on the pin to solid white, it must've recontextualized that white bit in the reference material as solid instead of transparent. I could have spotted this in the digital proof phase, but I just didn't! Luckily it's pretty minor. Probably few would have noticed unless I pointed it out, and I doubt it's enough of a deal breaker to make everyone wait another month while I get a new run of pins manufactured. I mean, unless it is! I'll do it if I have to!
I also recently got the hard copy proofs of the print merch, which includes the posters and the sticker sheets. They look great!
The old sticker sheets and posters look just as good as the first run, and the new poster and stickers turned out wonderfully. I'm especially glad to have logo stickers this time around. Next time I encounter a sticker-filled bathroom, I'll pull out one of these and put "Petal Crash" among them. Something funny - the 7" x 5" sheets can be printed 4 to a page, but the 7" x 5.5" sheets can only be printed 3 to a page, yet cost almost the exact same amount. Printing costs are weird
My next task is to get the survey sent out - it's at that point you'll pay for shipping and be able to indicate things like what storefront you want a key from, how you want your name in the credits, and whether you want the poster signed. Then, once the rest of the print stuff gets here, I can start sending them out!
I've got a fancy label printer now, which is great for shipping labels, but it also means I can print out fun stickers now. You might find a Friend & Fairy logo on the shipping box when you get your rewards!
Thank you all for your patience while I get this all ready! We've also been making progress on assets for the new game, which I'll be more than happy to share when the time is right. Until then, happy Petal Crashing!
A reminder that you will be charged shipping if you have physical add-ons or items. If you see complimentary credit please do not spend it! It is there to negate the added shipping for orders that do not require shipping.Â
I got two emails from Backerkit saying that they were unable to lock my order for the Barnaby chase demo, even though my money went through and I received the demo. Did my payment somehow not go through or is this an issue on Backerkit's end?
edit: please check shipping. If you did not order any physical merch and see a shipping fee I have added complimentary credit to balance this out to 0. Let me know if this is not the case. I'll double check before charging anyones cards that its correct, but if you do see an issue let me know
Project Update: SOME Surveys have been sent! Smoke Test!
If you DID get one and you're having issues with the survey do not hesitate to let me know belowÂ
I can help with merging multiple orders into one order (so you pay one shipping fee)Â
Removing shipping fees if your order has since changed. I notice you can change your order to remove physical items but then you will still have the shipping fee! So I can add complimentary credit to balance you out.Â
Missing questions on surveys
Basically any problem, let me know!Â
If you are a digital tier with physical add-ons please double check you have paid for your shipping fees!Â
Project Update: Surveys coming soon!
We've submitted surveys for review, backerkit wants to check them over first before sending them out! We're currently working on getting the demo builds out as I'm sure that's what you're eagerly waiting for. I'm just running some quick bug tests on them as we included some extra content so I want to make sure its stable for you! I will update you all when the demos are distributed so you check you received it ok

edit: also good news t-shirt bundle backers but I found a way that you can pick your keychain in the survey so it won't be random anymore :)Â
I'm unable to run the Barnaby demo, the program launches to a black screen and appears to do nothing for a short while before eventually popping up a message stating that it's run out of video memory and to try lowering the game's resolution or something to free up memory, after which the game closes. For what it may be worth, I'm running an AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT.
