If you are in the small percentage of backers who got the smoke test survey, please let me know if there’s any issues that you can see, you can comment here on this update.
REMINDER!
Millenia’s bag and mini plush keychain are not available to backers as choices on their pledge. She is only available as an add-on for the survey, and only if enough people add the product as an add-on or preorder it.
If you pledged hoping to get Millenia, you will need to choose a different design that was unlocked during the campaign. If Millenia’s bag and / or mini plush keychain are unlocked through the post campaign stretch goal, I will have something set up through my Discord for people to address their desire to change their chosen bag or keychain to Millenia.
Hey everyone! Sorry the surveys are not out yet, there was an issue I could not figure out but it's been resolved (I think) and surveys have been submitted for review. As soon as I get the green light, I will send out the smoke test and if all goes well, I'll send out the rest of the surveys a day or 2 later.
As a reminder, Millenia's design is currently in a Post Campaign Stretch Goal and you cannot select her as your reward on the survey, you can only add her as an add-on. If you backed this campaign in hopes of getting her, you will need to choose a different design on your survey. If she gets unlocked, I will set something up where backers who wanted her can communicate with me and have their selection changed to Millenia. But this will not be possible if we do not reach this stretch goal as I do not have the funds to pay for the production of her bag or keychain.
If you did not pledge on the campaign and still want in on this, Now is your chance
I have added Millenia as a stretch goal (both her bag and keychain) and we need a certain amount of orders for each of her products to unlock them. This stretch goal will also appear on Backers' surveys as ADD-ONS when they go out this coming week.
Millenia's samples are not finished yet, but there are prototype photos to show progress and I will show more as she progresses to being finished (not until sometime early March because my manu is still on holiday).
At this time, I will focus on Millenia for a stretch goal and not be adding the last bag design as a stretch goal. Millenia was much more popular than Deirdre the deer.
Hey everyone!! Thank you so very much for the support and love for this project that you have given! You guys are amazing!!
We had an AMAZING start to the campaign! But as you may already know, funding came to a halt and we were barely keeping up funding with how many cancellations we were getting. The number of cancellations this campaign got was nearly double that of my last campaign, which had a funded amount of nearly $70k.
That is insane..... but this is a lesson I had to learn twice I guess, as I participated in Pintopia last year too and had a very similar experience, just not as bad as this time. The amount of campaigns going at once makes it difficult for a lot of creators to get their goals reached on their campaigns.
But anywho... I have received a lot of comments about Millenia not getting unlocked, some people saying they pledged for her and asking about a post campaign stretch goal.
I will be adding Millenia's bag and keychain to the surveys and preorder store as post campaign stretch goals. You cannot select them as your survey answer though, they are add-on only. There's is nothing implemented through Backerkit to open it up as a survey answer once it is unlocked 😫
If you pledged wanting Millenia as your bag or keychain, you will not be able to select them. However, if they get unlocked through these post campaign stretch goals, I am sure we can work around it through private messaging or emails.
For now, I am working on Surveys (which will go up in a couple weeks) and putting up the Preorder Shop.
An update will go out when the Preorder shop is open!
If you missed the past couple updates, here’s a recap!:
We also added Snuggle Dreamers PART 2 plushies as campaign-only add-ons!
Lets see if we can get Millenia unlocked before the end of the campaign!! If she’s not, we can do a post campaign stretch goal but I do not know how it works soooooo kinda up in the air I guess 😅
