Hello Backerkit,

Nothing too fancy for this update, we're just letting you all know that there's one more week until survey's are locked for Infernal Invasion!

Stay adventurous, and happy holidays!

Hello Backerkit!

Tokii and I extend an early season's greetings to you all, and hope that as 2025 comes to a close that you all will have a thrilling holiday season!

As an update to our incoming surveys for Infernal Invasion we were able to get the smoke tests sent out over last weekend, which I'd mistakenly referred to as the surveys themselves (my apologies for the confusion 😅). We'll be giving the smoke test a little bit of time to develop before, providing there are no additional delays, sending out the actual surveys in a week or two!

In the meantime I'd like to introduce you to a couple of our upcoming projects to end out this year and start up the next; 

This special event will feature previous products from our past projects with a limited supply and a variety of discounts. This event won't have funding goals, so everything will be available for purchase without the risk of your favorite selection of items not being funded. Our goal is to make available our past merchandise to the newest members of our audience, and to have everything shipped out before the gift giving season is over!

In this campaign we'll be featuring the infamous North American legends reimagined in a form of hardened enamel! We're planning to have three different variants of pin sizes; Our largest designs being 3D molds at a size of 2.5 inches that feature some of the most fearsome creatures from American mythology like Bigfoot and Mothman, Our medium designs being basic hard enamel pins at a size of ~1.5 inches that feature the cuter critters from tall tales like the Jackelope and Cactus Cat, and finally our smallest designs at 1 inch or smaller that will feature all the important items that a cryptid enthusiast's might need in their tool bag. We have big plans for this upcoming project, and we're super excited to invite you into our creative process!

In this campaign we hope to excite the nerds, collectors, and enjoyers of the... risqué... In a number of releases that imagine the elements of the periodic table as humanized characters. We aim for these yearly campaigns to feature the entire tantalizing table over the course of 6 campaigns. Additionally we hope to feature other products like a custom periodic table pin banner for those who want to collect and give homes to the full set, alongside this we plan to have less lascivious mini-pins for those who'd rather not be distracted while they study their collection of elements.

Stay adventurous,
- Jacob

Tokii and I thank you all for your support on another successful campaign. The funding period of Infernal Invasions has ended, and we're planning to have surveys sent out before the weekend is over!

We would love to hear your thoughts about what you enjoyed the most about it! The weekly themed updates leading up to the campaign, and the competitions we held were something new to us and we want to know how you guys think it can be improved or if you have any suggestions regarding backer immersion or interaction!

Now, without further ado, we have a cat to talk about ;>

Congratulations to CorvidKid as well! thank you for sharing Inara with us, we're honored to have made a design of her. You will get a free Inara minipin added to your order after the campaign has ended! Thank you and everyone who contributed to this project!

Stay adventurous,
- Jacob and Tokii

We're now at the last leg of the Cat Competition journey; We've had a lot of fun with this event and think it's the perfect send-off for the final days of the Infernal Invasions funding period. Thank you to everyone who participated in this and the other competitions we've held during this campaign, it wouldn't have been nearly as fun without you guys :3

I did say that we would only do the top three cats from the last poll in this section of the competition, but there was a tie. Heavens forbid that I have to pick a favorite, that's your guy's job! So we've included an additional fourth choice for you to stew over ;>

(bear in mind that all of these designs are still rough drafts and the final design will be more polished)

- Enver is a polydactyl kitten adopted from a shelter. Once he’d been brought home he quickly could not be contained, making his claim over the entire house as opposed to his private room. Quite invasive, but oh how cute!
- Ie is a cat with a demand for things to be done how she sees fit. Besides being trained to do tricks like sit and stay, her owner reports that she has so little prey drive that she’d rather watch mice eat dog kibble than give chase.
- Inara was a strange little critter who enjoyed to munch on leaves, plastic, bread loaves, and particularly gold fish crackers. The one time she’d accidentally gotten outside she screamed until her owners were alerted and she was returned back inside.
- Tara is an ex-street cat who acts as if she’s always been indoors. She prefers to eat in the company of her owner, and is even reported to have smushed a Spotted Lanternfly! She’s either territorial of other invaders, or maybe she’s switching teams ;>

The owner of the Winning Cat will receive a free Domestic Cat Mini Pin added to their order once the campaign has ended.
