Raspberry Juice is funded!!!
Backers! We've done it!!
In under 12 hours we've managed to secure our funding goal and I'm absolutely delighted! I literally couldn't have done this without you. Thank yo...
This campaign is a success -- and it's all thanks to all of you!! I want to thank each and every one of the 91 backers who decided to contribute to my quirky little project. I'm very very grateful to you all!

What's next?
Now that the campaign is over, Backerkit has a 2-3 week period of processing all the funds and data from this campaign (and all the rest of the Zinetopia projects). Once the funds for the campaign are released to me, I'll try to set up the pledge manager as quickly as I can so that I can already send all of you the digital files for Raspberry Juice!
It should take about a week or two for me to set-up the pledge manager on Backerkit, which is a post-campaign platform that allows for processing of shipping fees and the fulfillment of all of your rewards. Once it's set-up, you will get notified and gain access to it. On the pledge manager you'll be able to modify your pledge to add additional goodies from the campaign, add a shipping address for fulfillment of physical goods, and pay shipping fees. If you're at the $1 Follower tier which bears no reward (other than my gratitude!), you'd also be able to change your pledge level to a higher one so that you can get a reward.

Cheaper printing and shipping
I'm currently in discussions with my collaboration partner from Dieku Games to print and ship our projects together. This should help lower production costs and fulfillment costs for us as project creators, which would also translate to cheaper shipping prices for you as backers!
Raccoon is attempting to slash printing prices for everyone!
------------
The next update
If everything goes according to plan, you should expect the next update with details on how to use the pledge manager to be sent out in early April.
------------ Until then -- you have my biggest of gratitude -- Thank you all so so much!! ~Omer (tchinaboy)
All backers receive a print-ready (300dpi) digital copy of a Kingdom of Sipur Map. ** The attached is a sketch the artist will use to illustrate the map **
Goal: $2,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
Backers! Not a moment too soon, you managed to unlock another stretch goal!
With almost no time left to spare -- just 5 hours before the campaign ends(!!) -- we manage to unlock the stretch goal for the Kingdom of Sipur map. A map of the entire fantasy land where Raspberry Juice takes place will be carefully drawn by the amazing Moon Art.
Now, after unlocking the stretch goal, all backers will receive a print-ready (300dpi) copy of this map as a digital file!
Here's a sketch of the map that I gave to Moon Art to which they'll apply the Raspberry Juice treatment. See how many anthropomorphic animal tales you recognize.
Do you know all the animal tales featured on this map?
------------
Still some time left to back...
If you've been patiently following this campaign and weren't sure when to back, after this unlock of the second stretch goal, now's definitely the time to act! All backers of this campaign will enjoy two free gifts, unlocked during the campaign:
A Raspberry Juice coloring book featuring all the beautiful line art from the zine (print-ready 300dpi digital file)
A Kingdom of Sipur map, featuring the main locations from the zine and many more locations to inspire your anthropomorphic animal adventures (print-ready 300dpi digital file)
Also, don't forget to back both this campaign and Dieku Games' Fang Dungeon Bestiary to get a special Cross-Collab reward!

See you again at the end of the campaign -- but till then -- many thanks!! ~Omer (tchinaboy)
I can't believe how fast this campaign went by -- but there are still some days to go before we can wrap it up and start working on printing Raspberry Juice! To make sure that we finish the campaign with a bang (and unlock some more stretch goals!), I now ask you to please share the campaign with your friends!
Get the word out and share this link on all your socials!! -- https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/tchinaboy/raspberry-juice-an-adventure-for-fangelsehala
------------ Let's make this last week really count!!
Ostrich wants you to spread the word about Raspberry Juice!

Cross-Collab activities poll results!
Over the past week you voted and chose the 4 activities that will be included in the Cross-Collab reward. Here are the winning activities that will be included in the Cross-Collab reward:
(45%) -- A "How-to-Draw" of Raspberry Juice characters -- Moon Art will teach you how to draw simplified versions of Raspberry Juice favorites.
(18%) -- A hedge maze to enter Mitz Petel's castle -- Help Lion and Giraffe sneak through the hedge maze in front of Mitz Petel's castle while avoiding the sentry mechanical bunnies.
(18%) -- A "find the hidden objects" -- locate Raspberry Juice story items hidden within Mitz Petel's castle.
(9%) -- A word search of different fruits -- find hidden fruit juices that represent magic potions in Raspberry Juice.
* While "spot the differences" also got 9%, I thought it might be a bit too similar to "find the hidden objects", so I made the decision to make "word search" the winner between these two activities.
These 4 activities will be just half of the Cross-Collab reward item that you will get if you back both this project and the Fang Dungeon Bestiary. Dieku Games will create 4 more pages of cool activities, so be sure to back both projects to get this cool reward!!
------------ That's it for today -- let's go go go in this final week of the campaign!! Thanks so much for being awesome! ~Omer (tchinaboy)
