Well, that was some ending of the campaign. 😃 We took a small dive downwards at the end, but you guys held on to that 6K stretch goal, keeping it safe by just 20€! Nerve wracking. And you did it!💪
Photo evidence that I was, indeed, on a boat.
During the last 48 hours I was travelling to Hamburg, then Copenhagen to vend at J-Popcon. Monday my train back was cancelled and I had to partially travel by bus and boat. Adventure!😂 And then of course, had to prepare Lunar New Year celebrations. Happy New Year🏮, Spring festival and Eid Mubarak!
Working on the project wasn't an option with one knee up against the bus window and being butt cheek to butt cheek with my neighbour. But now I'm back at my own desk.😌👍
BackerKit secures payments first, which takes about 2 weeks. Most payments went through on day 1 after the campaign.❤ There are still a couple of failed payments. It happens! Especially if you've backed several projects your bank may flag some transactions. Or the registered card may have insufficient funds/expired. Please check with your bank so it can be fixed in the coming week.🙏 Preorders and shipping are paid later. Only your pledges are being charged now. There will inevitably be people who end up ghosting the project and not paying. I'll keep the 6k stretch goal UNLOCKED, even if we end up dropping below the goal amount.
After the payment phase you'll receive a survey. Not to be confused with feedback form spam, this survey is necessary so you can pick your rewards (which pin design, standee expansion, etc), change Pledge Level if you want, and confirm your shipping address! I will also open the preorder store where you can get items that were not part of the project. If you've been eyeing things from my Ko-fi store this will be your chance to save on shipping costs! Also: Those who missed the campaign will get a final possibility to order unlocked items. Expect the survey mail to roll out in March.
YES! It will work a bit differently from the campaign: In the preorder store each unlockable item needs a specified amount of orders instead of a funding amount. If the goal isn't met, the item isn't unlocked and you won't be charged. More on that when the survey comes in.
The Sticker Club was one of the available (one-month, discounted) add-ons during the campaign. It features derpy mon with a monthly food special! If you missed the add-on during the campaign you can still sign up normally on my Ko-fi. (There's a special going on in February with amazing guest artists Myuna Art and Siplick!👀) The Club ships worldwide, postage included.
That's it for now! Don't hesitate to ask me if anything remains unclear (though I think the survey will explain a lot in itself). :3
