This is the final call for surveys, the orders will be locked tonight, June 30th, at midnight PST, so that I can send all of the item quantities to my manufacturers and the final phase of production can begin!
Also, I gotten photos of the first prototype of the beanie! I can see a few needed changes, such as making the eyes a little bigger and adjusting the shape of the ears, but it's already so close to what I was envisioning!
That's it for now, but I'll be back soon with more updates as production moves along.
Thank you, everyone, for getting those surveys in so quickly! The artwork for the pins and stickers has all been finalized, and I'll be sending quantities in to my manufacturers and printers soon after the surveys close on June 30th. Sample production on the knit beanies is already underway and I'm hoping to see how they've turned out very soon!
If you're one of the 43 backers who haven't had a chance to fill out their survey yet, there is still time to get your responses in! I will not be ordering extra inventory of the variant colorways (rainbow glitter, tuxedo, and gray tabby cats) and cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide them for late surveys. If I run out, the original black Void Cat pins will be substituted. If you didn't receive your survey please email me at [email protected] and I'll resend the link!
Also on the production end, I've gotten the finished pocket journals in from Scout Books and they turned out wonderfully! I'm really impressed with the paper quality—here's a look at the bleed-through compared to a Leuchtturm pocket journal. I'm already recording my dreams, schemes, and screams in one of these little fellas, and I can't wait to get them into your hands!
That's it for now, I'll be back with more updates soon!
It's been an extra busy few weeks but I've finally got the Pledge Manager set up and approved, so I'm sending out the first batch of Backer Surveys today! A random selection of backers will be part of this "smoke test" to make sure the surveys are working properly, and then the rest of the surveys will be sent out by Tuesday next week!
Be sure to check your email inboxes for your survey, and if you don't receive one by Tuesday May 27th, please reach out to me at [email protected] and we'll get it sorted. :)
And if you missed your opportunity to pledge, there's a second chance to get the Void Cat pins in the Pre-order store!
Thanks again for your support, and here's another picture of the new kitty, Phoebe—she loves going to the park in her stroller!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, again and again, for your overwhelming love and support for Void Cats!
I'm currently working on setting up the Pledge Manager, so watch for another update in the next couple of weeks letting you know when backer surveys are on their way!
On another exciting note, I celebrated the campaign end by welcoming this little angel into our family. Meet Phoebe! She's an adorable 9 month old tuxedo baby and after a mere 20 minute acclimation period she's been following me and my wife around like a puppy. I will always love and miss River, but it's so wonderful to cuddle a little purring ball of fluff again.
Sorry for the frequent updates, but things are progressing quickly and I've been extra productive this week so there are new things to look at!
If you're struggling to decide between the Celestial Sun Catchers or Glitter Void Cat Stickers, here are some mockups that give you a better idea of what they'll look like! Whichever one wins will be added to the Add-ons and included in the All-In Pledge Level! MAKE YOUR VOTE HERE!
Here's a recap of all the other stretch goals that have already been Unlocked!
ALTERNATE CAT COLORS: Tuxedo, Gray Tabby, and Black Rainbow Glitter Enamel!
EXTRA JOURNAL PAGES: The Pocket Journals will now have a total of 40 dot grid pages! ACRYLIC KEYCHAIN: Backers voted, and the Angel Loaf Void Cat is now available as an acrylic keychain!
And our next Stretch Goal—yet another new cat color—is just around the corner when we hit $25k! Make your vote now!
Most importantly, thank you for all of your support, now and over the years. I'm also excited to share with you that my wife and I started the search for a new cat to adopt, so I hope to have some more news on that soon!
