We have been making slow but steady progress the last few days.
With fundraising campaigns on Backerkit/Kickstarter, it's completely normal for funding to slow in the middle. The most important thing is to stay steady at our funding point. We've been doing even better than that, getting a few rare pledges here and there the last few days.
When we reach the last week of the campaign, funding will begin to pick up again as pledgers back last minute projects. Though we might unlock Dino Dogs in the next few days anyways.
Game Mechanic - Mail
I won't lie. The mail mechanic in Snoozelings was heavily inspired by early Animal Crossing games - mainly the version for the Gamecube. It was one of my favorite games growing up and my introduction to cozy gaming.
I remember the mail system in that game very fondly. For players who haven't played any game in that series, Animal Crossing allows players to send mail to characters and other players in game. Then twice a day, Postman Pete will deliver these letters for the player to read. Pete would even walk to your mailbox and hand deliver it.
Just like Animal Crossing, Snoozelings wants you to take it easy and not feel pressured to check your in game messages every ten minutes. That's why - for the most part - Mail Delivery only happens twice a day. The exception being any important letters from staff that need your attention.
When logged in, the main page turns into a bulletin board with all kings of news. This includes a timer for rollover (when the game resets), mail delivery, and current tasks for you to do.
