You can always edit your survey up until it's time to ship (which will be around March), but I need your response to make the right amount of pins, so the sooner you answer the sooner I can get them all back to you! 

Thank you and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at all!

Thank you!!! + An important note about Rewards not unlocked! 🐢
17 days ago – Wed, Dec 04, 2024 at 08:26:01 PM

In the final hours we managed to unlock the Furry Friends as well as the Dogs!! Thank you so much again!! As I mentioned in my previous update, as a thank you to you all and to help anyone disappointed about not unlocking the cats, all stickers are unlocked and available in all designs! β™₯

IF YOU PLEDGED FOR REWARDS THAT DIDN'T UNLOCK:

I've received a number of questions asking what will happen if a backer pledges for rewards that don't end up unlocking. Only rewards that were unlocked will be made, and so if you pledged for anything that didn't unlock including:

  • the CAT pins (regular and LE)
  • the BEAST TRIO pins (regular and LE)

I made a mention that you would need to either choose alternate rewards or adjust your pledge to remove those items. I noticed that a few of you did not remove the items during the campaign (I'm not able to see who, just the number of items that were claimed).

EDIT: I initially wrote that you would need to contact Kickstarter to adjust your pledge to remove any items that were not unlocked. I just read that this isn't actually true, and the creator can do this. Please contact me if you backed for something that wasn't unlocked and you need assistance!!!

If you planned on using the credit to purchase different rewards in your BackerKit survey, then please re-add anything you wanted when you receive your survey and it'll go back on your pledge.

I do apologize if it's complicated and unfortunately there's no way to set up stretch goals on Kickstarter to cancel or change pledges automatically if certain goals aren't met.

If there's anything I can do to answer questions or help please let me know!

24 Hours Left! + Updates on the Rewards to be unlocked still! 🐱
26 days ago – Tue, Nov 26, 2024 at 03:27:37 AM

Thank you so much for your support thus far! We've made it through ALL the dogs and we're over halfway through the Furry Friends pins as well (that's amazing!!! πŸ™Œ)

We're in the homestretch (I never liked that word but it's accurate lol) of the campaign now β€” the last full day for you to make any adjustments to your pledge or for new backers to join!

As I mentioned in my previous update, over the past week I've had a lot of people showing interest in the designs that haven't been unlocked yet and wondering what will happen to them. I did some consideration and decided to make a few changes:

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

1️⃣ Pins that belong "together" will now unlock together

🐢 Furry Friends (the first 9) will now FULLY unlock at the $16k stretch goal

I realized that separating out "sets" of designs could result in incomplete sets being funded, and designs being missing. I personally would not want anyone to not be able to have the complete set, so I decided to change it so that the rest of them will unlock at the second next lowest stretch goal (since we're almost at the next one). This should be achievable and keep all of them together while still covering funding for most of the set! πŸ™Œ

🐱 The Beast Trio will now FULLY unlock at the $19k stretch goal

Similarly, I realized there was potential for the Beast Trio set to be split up, so I changed it so if we hit the lowest stretch goal for them it will unlock them all.

🐱 The first two sets of Cat pins will now unlock together!

In the same vein, I changed the cat pins so that they will unlock both at the lowest of the two goals, so even if we don't hit the second goal the pair won't get split up.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

2️⃣ ALL designs unlocked as sticker choices!

In light of the likelihood that we can't fund all the cat pins, and due to the much easier manufacturing (not to mention storage) of the stickers as compared to pins, I've decided that ALL designs will now be available as sticker choices! So even if we don't make it all the way to the end, rest assured you can still choose your favorite cats as stickers to take home!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

As I said in my previous update, this was kind of wild of me to attempt so many designs in the same campaign, and I certainly learned a lot about the potential pitfalls with a project like this. Even though I've done a few campaigns so far I'm still learning and striving for improvement each time.

That said, I hope these accommodations help! β™₯ 

πŸ”₯ 8 Sticker Bundle available in Add-ons!

Also, you'll notice in the project description I mention an 8 sticker bundle at a discount. I had somehow not enabled that before launch, so it wasn't showing up! That is now fixed, and you should see the 8 sticker bundle in the Add-ons section! This is a great way to save on stickers!

✨ Last chance for Limited Edition pins!

Lastly, please take a moment to check that any Limited Edition pins are added to your pledge via the Add-ons section if you haven't done so! To double clarify: these pins are not included on any reward tier, you need to add them separately! This is so I can get an exact LE count of each design. You will not be able to choose these in your survey or purchase them later, so please make sure if you want them to add them now!

Thank you all again for backing! And if you didn't back yet, there's only one day left!!!! Let's see what we dogs and cats we can rescue! πŸΆπŸ±πŸ’¦

All Dogs Unlocked!! Thank you! 🐢 + remaining stretch goals update!
about 1 month ago – Tue, Nov 19, 2024 at 09:25:17 PM

We're RUFFly (sorry) halfway through the campaign today, and all 19 dog pins have officially been unlocked!! 🐢 That is crazy!! Thank you guys so much!!!! There's A LOT of pins this time so I wasn't sure how far we'd get, happy to see all doggies go to heaven, so to speak lol.

THE GOOD DOGS
and don't forget us!

A note about remaining stretch goals

I've seen many of you are excited about the stretch goals for cat designs in particular and some have inquired as to whether those designs would still be produced if not unlocked. Because of the size of this project's logistical workload in particular, unlocking further designs depends on meeting their funding goals. There's still 7 days remaining so there's plenty of time to see what we can unlock!

That said, this is the biggest pin project I've undertaken so far, and, I'll be honest, I might have gone a little crazy with this one β€” there's 40 different pins each with shiny versions (so 80 pins technically) plus sticker versions (I had to draw all the artwork twice as you'll notice the stickers do not have line art), meaning there's 120 different SKUs (items)! That's A LOT!

Just to give a bit of perspective β€” that's a massive amount of shipments, storage, artwork file prep, pick-and-pack and so forth. My partner helps me with fulfillment but we do everything in our home ourselves. For example with Twisted Forest (my previous project that had 34 different SKUs) our entire living room was just boxes and boxes with thousands of items in separate bags!This is why the remaining stretch goals are a bit higher due to the exponential logistics, labor and shipping costs of dealing with so many items. Before publishing GOOD DOG I actually wondered if maybe I should cut the cats entirely, but I decided to include them and keep everything together. I think for future projects I will definitely keep them a more manageable size.

Anyway, please don't fret if your favorite isn't unlocked yet! Depending on how close we get to certain goals I'll see where we are at the end and consider where to go from there (if we're only a couple away from a full set)... I might just cover a couple of them on my own to keep them together. It would be sad to unlock Raincloud Beast and Flame Beast and leave poor Thunder Beast out in the cold, for example.

That said, we can only get that far with your support πŸ™ so please don't hold back and pledge based on what you'd truly like to get. Remember, you can adjust your pledge anytime during the campaign and I'll update you guys again near the end!

Thanks for reading and a BIG thank you to everyone who has backed so far! 🐢 See you soon, and let's get those furry friends next!!!

and us please???
