Project Update: End of Day One Update ~
Sorry I'm slightly late!
You guys 🫣. Thank you so much. Its been a crazy first day, we exceeded every goal I had prepared.
So what next?
Well shortly I'll add a second page to the stretch goals, including the rest of the pins. That will include the five that aren't revealed yet, and I'll make a card version of the mystery mollusc to complete the set. As promised I'll also be adding some extra pledge tiers, including larger pin bundles. I can't offer a much higher discount on these pins because they're over 2in tall, so cost a bit more to produce; but I'll add a few incentives and a small discount. You can change your pledge at any time without losing out on your 48hr early bird rewards - they're tied to your email. Even if you cancel and repledge they'll still be there :).
I had a few more requests for the matching minor arcana, so I sat down and looked at the figures. I will have to pass up a couple of projects/events to get it completed in enough time not to delay fulfilment, so I'm setting the goal at £10k. If we hit this goal, the minor arcana will be added as an add-on option that you will manually have to add to your pledge. Because of the way the packaging is designed, you'll be able to fit it in the same box as the major arcana anyway - people who don't purchase the minor arcana will have an insert in the box to keep your cards presented neatly. This is just how this type of packaging works, per our manufacturer.
If we get that far, I'll show the concept sketches for the rest of the deck. Essentially, each suit will feature one species of fish (thus far we know the lanternfish, and probably a jellyfish; perhaps the tube worm but definitely something that lives near the thermal vents. Feel free to make suggestions!) and the court might feature more anatomical type drawings (my partner suggested tiny crowns, but I'm not sure it fits the vibe).
Otherwise, right now the deck doesn't come with a guidebook. If we really push past the next set of stretch goals, then I'll look at adding one (that fits inside the box). I'm not confident writing one myself, so I would need to pay someone to help me and that would need to be factored into the goal. But we'll see! If we do end up adding a guidebook, it won't cost any extra.
Thank you all again ~
Stay tuned ;)
