Quick update on shipping: For reasons we're still trying to figure out, the shipping notifications weren't sent out automatically from BackerKit. I contacted their support team and they showed me how to manually trigger them, so everyone should now have tracking information in their inbox.

We are 100% finished with mailing with the exception of 2 backers who either didn't pay for shipping or never completed their survey. If that's you and you need help, just reach out!

Thank you all for your support and patience during fulfillment. You made this project possible.

If you were watching the leaderboard chaos today on our Return to Earth campaign, that was quite a race to see who would win the cookies and free sketch! Ray ended up on top with 19,385 points after an epic battle with Jaleesa.

If you missed backing Return to Earth Studio Preview Edition, you can still find it on Kickstarter for another 2 weeks. The exclusive extras (including the limited edition 2026 calendar) disappear after October 11th, so if you want them, now's the time.
