Thank you for being here and following Short Circuit, your interest means so so much to me and really helps boost the chances of us unlocking a bunch of these lil bot board friends! I've been busy pulling together the campaign, but I wanted to take a moment to send out my first formal update to all of you.
My manufacturer has been wonderful and gotten back to me with sample photos for all four Units of the Earth Line - Byte, Circat, Nibble, and Leaf - pictured above. I'm really excited about how they've all turned out, and I hope y'allemaal feel the same way! Expect a ton of photos and videos once I have them in hand. :D
Due to the associated set up costs, I'm only going to have molds made for the above Earth Line designs prior to the campaign, and then I will sample for any other bot boards we unlock post-campaign but prior to surveys locking down so you can see them in the flesh (in the metal?) before you make your final selections.
I am however sampling for the enamel colorways of the Fire and Water lines ahead of time on Leaf's mold, to help give you an idea of what to expect and speed up the sample process post-campaign. I'm also quite pleased with how Water has turned out!
Fire has been a bit more of a back-and-forth but I'm confident that we'll get there and dedicated to making sure that we absolutely nail the right palette.
Speaking of Fire, I've now shared all four of their designs on social media but in case you missed any of them, here's the whole crew:
For those who haven't seen them all yet - meet Hex, Mozzy, Cloud, and Firewall! If you have a favorite of the bunch, there's a poll attached to this update and I'd be very curious to see who stands out.
As for Water, I look forward to introducing them to you as well. Outside of my Ko-fi members they've yet to be shared anywhere online, but when the Short Circuit pre-launch campaign reaches 250 followers I'll start posting them in full!! We're only 13 away at the time of writing this, so let's see if we can do it by the week's end! In the mean time, here's a fun little "Whose That Pokemon??" style game:
What creatures do you think these two bots are based on? Share your guesses in the comments!
Thanks again for being here and checking these robots out. I love them dearly and everyone's enthusiasm has been so heartwarming. As ever, if you know someone who you think would also love these designs, sharing this pre-launch campaign with them is the most amazing thing you can do to help make them all a reality!
