Sorry it took me so long to get to this big, important update! I am always busy on Saturday, but I have some time now and we have a lot to cover don't we!?
I just want to thank everyone again for being here. Do you all know how honored I am yet?? I hope you do! It's a super lot. I'm walking on clouds right now!
Yesterday was so amazing. I didn't expect, or even know that people could continue to back after 7pm. I was so confused at first, and then super excited. It lasted so much longer than I could have anticipated. It was very exciting!
Discord?
It's over now, but... not really! I know some of you would like a Discord, which I'm considering deeply-- though I am kind of bad at Discord. I know I need to get better at it, and now might be the perfect time to work on it, given that I might not be working on commissions 24/7. It was really all I could think about for a long time! So, we'll see. I'll post another update with Discord information, if/when I have it set up!
Roadmap for November!
2nd-14thish - Pledges will be processing. Any failed payments are being retried automatically by Backerkit. Now is the time to make sure your payment went through or update your card info if it didn't.
3rd - Preorder store opens! (Backers DO NOT place an order in the preorder store or you'll be charged twice for shipping. Orders DO NOT automatically combine.)
15th - Backers are imported into the pledge manager, survey smoke test goes out to 5% of backers to make sure everything is working correctly.
16th - All surveys go out (unless you're on a payment plan). These will remain open until all prototypes are finalized so you can edit/add/remove items at any time!
16th and onward - Funds are released to me so prototyping can start in earnest!
Additional preorder store and survey note: you won't be charged right away. The preorder store funds and any added survey charges will be collected when surveys lock/the preorder store closes.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to leave them below, or message me on Twitter (This is a great way to reach me quickly), or email me: [email protected]!
Batty and Lupin!
Believe it or not, they are mostly complete! There were some changes that needed to be made with their face embroidery, but it is very minor. The manufacturer is working on that now, and then they will be shipped to me, so hopefully in the next few weeks we will have tons of mischievous photos and footage. I MEAN, it IS Batty and Lupin. I can only imagine the trouble they will get up to as soon as they arrive. Good thing Catsie and Bella are relaxing while they can!
In fact, I have some fun news about those two! They actually fit in BAB clothes!
Lookit how darn cute they are! I especially liked Bella in her iridescent pants, not gonna lie! She was rocking it. So... do with this news as you will. I'm not saying you should stock up on some outfits, if you don't already have some, but... I mean.
Come on.
Remi Razzles
I don't even know how to start this one ahaha. There is such a divide. I need just a couple days, if that is okay? I was going to do some doodles, look over peoples comments/emails (I have seen them!!) and maybe talk to the manufacturer before I make any decisions, just to be sure it's feasible!
I really appreciate the patience in advance. I really want to make everyone happy on this one. When I first designed them, I never imagined the brains would be an issue for some.
As of now, brains are in the lead, but if we could find a middle ground where both sides would be happy, that'd be really cool for Remi, don't you think? I'd hate for 50+ folks to pass up on our cute little rockstar if there was a way around that.
Sticker Sheet
I am steadily working on the sticker sheet for the add-ons! Here is a cute rough Zoey and Elliot to hopefully help tide everyone over!
Elliot needs a darn bubble, but hopefully the safety gear will suffice! If not, Ellie will take care of her I'm sure hehe.
Okay! I think that is it for this update! I realize there are other things I'm probably missing, and I haven't even looked at my email today, but I am about to! ^^ I appreciate the patience again!
