Project Update: All Surveys Going Out! Please fill them out! WOO!!!
Hello Noop Troop!
This is an update to let backers know that we got the smoke test surveys finished and everything is looking good, so I've started sending out all surveys!
I am going to re-surface the previous campaign update information for everyone just to save time with some updates in between.

‼⚠ALL REMAINING BACKER SURVEYS ARE GOING OUT AFTER I UPLOAD THIS! So please keep an eye out in your email for it. Sometimes those emails go into your junkmail folder!
For best ease of access, I strongly recommend everyone create a backerkit account tied to the email they backed under! This (to my knowledge) is required in order to update your payment information in the event you need to change your card details!
Backer Surveys / Order Confirmations:
⚠THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!⚠
For those of you who have never backed a crowdfunding campaign before, this is the most crucial step of your pledge order as this is the only way I can fulfill and ship your rewards. It is imperative that you fill your survey out to completion upon it being sent to you via email. Failure to do so heavily affects our final inventory count and prevents me from fulfilling the campaign efficiently, so please fill your surveys out to completion when you receive yours.

In Summary:
- 18 backers have errored payments.
- If after 14 days your payment is still errored, you may be dropped from the campaign. Please let me know before the 7 day buffer if you need the full 14 days to pay.
- ⚠Backer surveys will begin going out around/by February
28th.21st! - ⚠ Once received, please fill your survey out to completion. I cannot count your order as valid or process your order to ship unless it's filled to completion. Filling to completion requires you to put your payment information in again. This WILL NOT CHARGE YOU twice for your order. This is just to collect your shipping fees and any extra add-ons you wish to purchase via our preorder store that is now open.
- You will be able to update your shipping address at any time up until we lock addresses, which will not be until May ish.
PRE-ORDER STORE NOW OPEN, VERY LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE!
If you were following the campaign and missed out, you can now preorder via our backerkit store.
⚠IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BACKED THIS CAMPAIGN AND WISH TO ADD ITEMS FROM THE STORE TO YOUR ORDER, please wait until you receive your survey!
You will be able to add items then. Making a new order via the backerkit will create 2 orders and while I am able to combine them, it does cause confusion.. So, please just sit tight and wait for your survey to be issued before adding more goodies!

Post-campaign add-ons and preorder store will close March 5th or if we reach 350 backers.
⚠ Payments for additional items and all non-campaign preorders will begin to process March 6-7th. Shipping fees will be collected closer to May when I know when fulfillment is to begin!
THIS MEANS I WILL LOCK YOUR ORDER AND YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO MAKE FURTHER ORDER EDITS. You will still be able to update your address and payment information, though!
⚠Post Campaign Add-On item update:
- Noop-ichiban Sushi keychain cancelled. I just couldn't get the design done in time! But I will save it for another campaign!
- Heart Nu Stickerpack & acrylic keychains added to the store
- Backers with 5 or more plush qualify for a free dangle noopy keychain, I am working on manually adding those items. I will make the best judgment call on which style to choose, but you are welcome to let me know if you want me to change the style I picked! Some tiers have the question asked in their survey (FullNoop tiers) as most of you had backed 5 or more Noops..
If you see anything odd or confusing with your survey, you're welcome to reach out to me via Discord or Instagram!
Coming Soon:
- Amour & Sweetie Production Sample pictures!
- Vaders Jams cd keychain final mock up and sample pictures!
- Updated production timeline estimate.
Until the next update! See you soon, everyone!!

Project Update: ⚠IMPORTANT! Payments being processed.. Survey Details!
Hello Noop Troop!
By now, all of you should have had your payments processed.
At the time of writing this update, we have roughly 33 errored pledges affecting roughly $2k in our funding pool. Fortunately, this is within my project budget "buffer" % and should not affect any of our unlocked items.
Please do your best to remedy your payment method as soon as possible.
As a reminder, after 14 days, if I do not hear back from you that you wish to keep your pledge (and need the full 14 day extension to pay), I will process your pledge as cancelled, and any special promotional offers and prices in your pledge will be forfeit.
If your payment has processed successfully: YAY!🎉 Here's what to anticipate next.

Roughly 14 days after the campaign ends, a 'smoke test' will go out to select backers to help me verify that the survey form is working correctly. I anticipate sending all backer surveys around February 28th or slightly sooner.

Project Update: Vaders Jamz Keychain Mockup & Rue Ear Lining Update!
Happy Monday, Noop Troop!!
This is a casual update, as I've received some messages asking to get more of a look at my process.
Honestly, one of the aspects with being an indie designer/producer not often talked about is the privilege to be able to take a vision in my mind and haphazardly replicate it on my programs, on paper, and sometimes even being able to make an actual physical prototype with what few resources are available to me.
I found some mini cd keychain blanks and managed to order a few to do tests with and I am so excited to share the first prototype.
As a note of transparency: These are just for demonstrative purposes, and the final 'product' will be much more clean, as I intend to have the CD part UV printed, and the paper itself will be higher quality. Additionally, I am still finalizing the art and positioning. But I was just too excited and wanted to share the look so far!
On the inside of the CD case is a scannable code that will take you to Vaders Playlist. This is in no way sponsored and just something I wanted to experiment with as I love music, love sharing music, and regularly listening to Synthwave (my favorite genre of music) has really helped me to keep my seasonal depression at bay. In theme with a lot of my other designs, there is a special message on the backside.
EXCITING UPDATE FOR RUE!
We are almost to the needed funding and backers to be able to allow backers to choose whether they want a Rue with YELLOW or ORANGE ear lining. By default, Rue plans to be produced with YELLOW ear lining. However, we've had some requests for the orange, and I want to do all I can to make it a possibility for you guys!
Assuming we have our final ending funding (the amount after all payments process and all dropped / cancelled pledges) over $18k, I should be able to negotiate this option with my representative, Steven.
Nooptendo3DS Charm Updates:
I recently received the samples of the Nooptendo3DS phone charms, and I am so happy with how they turned out. Our Noop Troop community did so amazing on these designs, and we have had such tremendous support for this product. There is 1 design missing from the lineup that I plan to have available at the end of the campaign, so please do not be alarmed if you see a design missing from our campaign lineup!
Phew! Still 10 more days left in the campaign!
I should have one more update closer to the end of the campaign to let backers know what they should anticipate for the next steps. That one is going to be important, so please don't miss it!

- Final production samples of the Vaders Jams keychain are almost finished. I need to make an adjustment to the file so the text is on both sides of the CD case.. But other than that, it's approved for mass production!
(apologies for the screen grabs)
Have a fantastic week and I will be back soon with the next update!!
