Latest Updates from Our Project:

Surveys Sent!
about 1 hour ago – Fri, Mar 14, 2025 at 08:14:41 AM

Surveys are on their way out as of early this morning. 

Since it took a bit longer to troubleshoot than anticipated, I will be extending my deadline for when surveys will be decided -- by "decided" I mean a soft close, where final counts for designs will be tallied as to not push back production too far back.

So the cut off date for priority selection on designs / submitting for final counts is on March 28th. If your survey is answered after this date, and there is the event that there is not enough A grade/standard grade pins to fulfill your survey choices, you may receive an B+ grade pin or lower grade. I haven't run into this issue before in a campaign, but there is a lot of variation in the manufacturing process.

Thank you again for your support! We are still on track for May fulfillment. 
Happy Pi Day!

Smoke Tests sent
4 days ago – Mon, Mar 10, 2025 at 08:28:42 AM

Hello everyone! 

We're nearly ready to send out all the surveys. Smoke tests have gone out this weekend. Once those return, we'll be able to send out the reward surveys as long as everything is in order.

Shipping will be charged during the survey, and address will be able to be changed up until a week before rewards will be shipped. I'll be sure to send a reminder for those in a couple of months. 

A reminder that anyone who backed both campaigns from me and Toku for the cross-collab design, your freebie pin will be automatically included in your pledge. You do not need to do anything extra. 

I'll send another update once final surveys are officially sent. 

Thank you again for your support and patience!

Surveys delayed
10 days ago – Mon, Mar 03, 2025 at 10:32:45 PM

Hi everyone, 

Apologies for the delay on the surveys. It will take a while longer as I've been learning how to use backerkit. 

Staff have reviewed my surveys and I am in the midst of trying to make the proper adjustments to ensure the surveys pass quality standards. 

Thank you again for your support on the project. And thank you for your patience. 

I hope to send them out soon and lock in final responses on the 20th. Shipping addresses will be able to be updated until a week before rewards begin shipping. Which is currently still estimated for May.

Surveys rolling out next week, failed pledges attempted again soon
21 days ago – Fri, Feb 21, 2025 at 07:16:38 AM

Hi everyone!

Thank you again for your support on the project! This is my first backerkit campaign, so surveys will likely be sent out towards the middle or end of next week as I set up everything up. 

For any failed pledges, which were only a handful, I'll be reaching out with a reminder and double checking when a good time to re-charge the cards will be.

I'm looking forward to getting the pins made! And can't wait to find out which fishes or friends are the most popular. 

Have a great weekend !

New Sticker Designs Added!
about 1 month ago – Wed, Feb 12, 2025 at 07:17:42 AM

Hello, and Good Morning, Everyone!

We're rounding down the last bit of the project. In Valentine's fashion and theme-ing, this is the sticker design for the "I'm a Cuddler" design.

Another added sticker option will be the 3" 'You're 1 on a Krillion' design. This sticker in particular will be white ink printed with a brush gold border and text. I was workshopping a lot of different color options, but I felt like this one was the best.

Thank you all for keeping up with the project! I'm reel happy with how all the designs turned out <3

I've also added a bulk add-on for stickers.
