Manufacturing Start + SHIFT Kickstarter
11 months ago
– Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 10:28:55 AM
Hey Backers! Hope you're having a great Halloween!
Short and sweet update this month: We have just finished all the animation and production files for manufacturing and have submitted them to the manufacturer!
We anticipate that the manufacturing process will take around 2 months and from there we will start freighting over the product over to our warehouses around the world. As there won't be much to discuss in the meantime, our next update will be in January 2026!
Don't forget to fill our your Backerkit surveys! Around 60 surveys have yet to be completed.

Smoke Test and BackerKit Guide!
about 1 year ago
– Mon, Sep 15, 2025 at 08:40:39 AM
Hey backers!
We’re happy to announce that the smoke tests for BackerKit have been sent out, which is one of the last major steps to bringing the BackerKit online!
Only 5% of backers will receive a 'smoke test' email with their survey, so if you don’t receive one during this process, your survey will go out with the rest of the backers once we’ve confirmed everything is working as expected!
When the surveys go out, we ask that you complete your survey as soon as possible so we can make our orders with our production partners. We’re looking to get 80% of the surveys filled before mass production starts.
We’ve included a guide to help you complete your surveys below, after a quick update on some digital rewards!
Digital Rewards
Once all BackerKit surveys have been sent out, you'll be able to access any Digital Rewards that are currently available for your Reward Tier in your Digital Downloads within Backerkit!
BackerKit Survey Guide
1) Select your country for shipping and click "Get Started". If you would like to upgrade to a higher pledge tier, locate the link under the "Get Started" button and click that instead. Please note that if you switch pledge levels, any add-ons that you selected on Kickstarter will not be automatically applied to BackerKit.
2) Please read the question prompts and proceed into the BackerKit "store" (Add-Ons section).
3) Once in the store, you’ll see a list of the items included in your Kickstarter pledge on the right side of the page. On the left, you’ll see the options for add-ons!
VERY IMPORTANT:
Your pledge amount for your tier has been converted into credit that is meant to be used to select the same Living Minis sets you pledged for on Kickstarter. So in order to receive the items you pledged for on Kickstarter, you must select that same set in your Backerkit survey!
4) Once you've selected all the items you want, click "Next".
5) Enter your shipping address and click "Next".
6) Confirm the provided information is correct, provide a payment method, and click "Confirm".
Please note: Due to limitations using PayPal, it is not currently enabled as a payment option for this project. We hope to have this method of payment available before we begin charging cards for outstanding balances related to add-ons and shipping costs. Backers who intend to use PayPal as their payment method should be able to complete their surveys when this becomes available.

Living Minis Campaign Has Ended!

– Fri, Aug 22, 2025 at 10:26:54 AM
Hey Backers!
Wanted to give a heartfelt shoutout to all of your support on this experimental project! We can't wait to get these minis into your hands. We have a lot more planned for this line after we're done this initial run so be sure to keep an eye out for updates!
===
What’s Next?
Late pledges run for 2-3 weeks while Kickstarter processes pledges
Kickstarter is going to begin to process payments for this campaign and the process can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks. During this time, we'll continue to accept late pledges to the campaign as mentioned above!
When the initial pledge processing is complete...
We’ll send out BackerKit surveys!
Surveys will then be sent out to collect your shipping details, along with your pledge selection and add-ons. You'll be able to upgrade your pledge or add additional add-ons with the survey as well! As we get closer to releasing surveys, we will have information on how to fill out your survey, as well as specifics for choosing your add-ons.
We ask that you hold your BackerKit questions until then! Surveys will be open until we start fulfilling, but to guarantee your order we suggest filling out the survey as soon as possible.
Have questions? Reach out!
Leave a comment or e-mail us at [email protected]!
Thanks again for your fantastic support!
