Happy spring! Popping in with some fresh sneak peeks and general status updates.
Short Circuit survey completion has reached 84%, which is a great pace. Thank you all for tackling those! A couple reminders:
💚 If you're a backer on a pay over time plan, your survey will be sent out by Backerkit once your balance is paid in full. 💙 Surveys are projected to lock sometime in April! At that time, you will be charged for shipping and any additional add-ons you selected after the campaign via the survey. I will provide one week of advanced notice when this date is set. 💜 Surveys left unfilled by the lock down period will not have guaranteed selection of their rewards, so please be sure to get these in. 🧡 If you missed out on the campaign, the Short Circuit Pre-Order Store is still open until surveys lock.
I'm also reading everyone's creature suggestions on the survey with great interest and writing down every animal that repeats for future consideration, so an extra thanks to those who've shared their opinions.
Now that we've addressed the formalities, it's time for the GOODS. My manufacturer is making great time, and my representative continues to be awesome and share process peeks with us—
The light catching the various depths of metal on Array in particular really has me hyped!
Here are the new Earth and the Water Unit Line samples, plated and filled with their hard enamel "solder mask" board colors! They're now just awaiting the transparent colored fills on the recessed metal areas. Gotta say I'm already in love.
Fire Line in progress, including our backer sponsored tiger RAID!
The Fire Unit Line, all in the same state - brass plated and ready for their clear golden fills!
LOOK AT THEM; they're certainly looking at you.
Finally, Python - my manu has stamped samples for Malware, Jump, and Incubate already too (see the previous update for a glimpse at those), but I've asked them to apply enamel paint to Python first so we can sort out the Air colors on the design with the most recessed metal surface area. The purple is already gorgeous, but the hard part to color match is the transparency so we'll see how they look overall once it's added. 👀
On my end, I'm working on finishing up the remaining sticker art and preparing it all to order closer to when surveys lock, as well as the backing card layouts. Here's a look at the colors on Mozzy's robot character art:
Finished character sheet on the way!
More to come on that soon, thanks for following along!! You're all awesome and your enjoyment of these lil bot buddies means so much.
