Opossum + Skunk + Deer Prototype Reveal!
about 1 year ago – Sun, Jul 30, 2023 at 08:45:16 PM

Woohoo! More prototype reveals! 

As always, there's gonna be corrections from the initial round of prototyping, but these guys are close to perfect already, so that's very exciting!

Thanks for everyone's patience and continued support!

Turtle Prototype Revealed!
about 1 year ago – Fri, Jul 28, 2023 at 10:26:00 AM

Woohoo!

Prototypes are little by little getting completed and revealed and though they'll all likely to have some things to be corrected, we're knocking them out of the park as well as we can!

Anyway - Turtle!!

Just a few changes to this fella and I think he'll be good to go!

First Round of Backer Surveys Sent Out!
about 1 year ago – Thu, Jul 27, 2023 at 10:26:35 AM

HUZZAH!

The 'smoke test' on BackerKit was just launched, meaning that 5% of you are being sent Backer Surveys to select your choices for your pledge level!

HOWEVER!!!

I'm very aware that not every prototype has been shown - DO NOT WORRY - your choices will NOT be locked in until all prototypes have been shown and, likely, finalized.

  I plan (tentatively, this could change) to lock surveys at the END OF AUGUST.

This means that you are under NO PRESSURE to finalize your choice until the end of August.  

As I've said before, prototypes are taking a little longer than expected, but they are being worked on and coming out slowly to reveal to you all.

The rest of the Backer Surveys - all 95% of them - will be sent out in waves after me and BackerKit confirm that there have been no issues with the surveys re: shipping, add-ons, etc.

Thank you all so much for your patience and continued support!

Orca and Alligator Prototypes Revealed!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Jul 26, 2023 at 09:11:44 PM

STILL dealing with headaches regarding technical difficulties with BackerKit and the surveys, but hopefully hopping on a call tomorrow with someone to 1000% fix it so we're good to go.

Before I show prototypes I need to say one thing - I NEED PEOPLE TO READ THE UPDATES BEFORE THEY SEND ME MESSAGES/EMAILS/DMs/COMMENTS

There have been dozens upon dozens of people asking questions already answered in FAQ and Updates and  I cannot keep up with responding to them when the questions are already answered in readily accessible locations.

With that out of the way - onto the Alligator and Orca!

The BEFORE is obviously the real life prototype and the AFTER are my corrections to the first round of prototype - I think they are coming out amazing and hope you think so too!

Backer Surveys in Review + Bald Eagle Fixes + Bat Preview
about 1 year ago – Tue, Jul 25, 2023 at 09:40:25 AM

After a few hiccups, Backer Surveys are in review on BackerKit!

This means that surveys should be going out to you all in waves starting at the end of the week!

 Woohoo!

The Bald Eagle, after overwhelming feedback, has had weight added to it's wings and made fatter in the belly!

With Bald Eagle a little chunkier and with wings better for hugging, this guy is approved for production! :)

With a very blurry photo, here is the first look at the Bat!

I am for now referring to them - lovingly - as the flying potato! :D

Over onTwitter, @odvunir made some fun 'baked (potato) bat' fanart for em :)
