I'm super happy to say I finished the design for MK64! It's a Rainbow Road themed design, and will have rainbow adonized metal and a silver colored chain attached to the Chain Chomp! Additionally, there will be white glitter in the black enamel on the controller to represent the stars in the void sky!
As this pin has a ton of effects, it will be priced higher than the other pins outside of this campaign. However, as a thank you to everyone for overfunding, I'm going to keep the price the same and allow you all to choose it as one of your pins in the survey at NO extra cost. It will be higher priced in the preorder store, but campaign backers will see no difference unless you add it as a post-campaign add on!
I'm very happy with this design, and I hope you all like it too!
However, I have completely hit an art block with the Smash 64 design. Admittedly, I didn't play that version of Smash a whole lot, so I'm sure that's part of it. I like the concept of Smash, and it's fun at parties, but I'm not a "Smash player" per se -- not that Smash 64 is the game of choice for that flavor of gamer either, lol. I really don't know what to do about that pin, because it just refuses to come to me. So...
I'm considering one of three options:
1. Can you guys give me suggestions for what aspects of the game to highlight in the pin akin to the other designs? I try to highlight three different items from the game in each pin. My initial thought was to use the Smash Ball but I remembered they aren't in 64 at all, so that's out, lmao.
2. Opening a new poll, and making the pin for a different game. Right now I'm thinking Conker's or Gex: Enter The Gecko, but I'm open to suggestions. My one qualm with this is this is already a niche campaign, and I feel like any other games I might do are getting into "too niche to really sell as pins" territory.
3. Giving every backer a FREE Kirby Dango pin instead! Right now only backers with 3+ pins will recieve one. This is HONESTLY my preferred outcome... but I don't want to make that decision without your input.
Which would you prefer? Please vote in the poll below, comment if you have any ideas, and I hope to be able to make a decision on this by the end of next week.
