still waiting for survey approval 🀞
about 1 month ago – Tue, Oct 22, 2024 at 11:29:13 AM

thank you so much for your patience regarding surveys, everyone! i know a lot of you have been waiting eagerly for updates; as of today, im currently still waiting for backerkit approval before I'm allowed to send them out.

i submitted for review last week, was asked to make a few changes & submitted those friday evening, so now we just need to keep waiting until backerkit approves them!

(i'm also currently on an anniversary trip with my partner & have had sporadic data access, so i promise im checking as often as i can!)

as soon as i have more information, i promise youll all be the first to know πŸ–€ and as always you're always welcome to message me or comment here if you have any questions!

have a great week, everyone, and with luck I'll have more news in the next few days!

BACKER SURVEYS COMING ASAP!! + preorder store open!
about 1 month ago – Tue, Oct 15, 2024 at 07:23:57 PM

GREAT NEWS, EVERYONE! i've finally been able to wrestle with international shipping costs & have sent out the backer survey to backerkit for review. as soon as they get back to me with their decision, surveys will be LIVE and sent out to all of you!

if you ended up being unable to pledge during the campaign run, worry not! the pre-order store is open NOW and you can still snag a ton of the items that were available during the campaign!

looking to preorder a batpack of a certain style? order sooner rather than later -- once all survey responses are in, we'll be locking in the amounts for our manufacturing order, after which the number of available bags for each design will become limited!

keep an eye on your emails for your survey! since it took a bit longer to get the whole thing setup than expected, once surveys are out, you'll have until november 14th to complete them :)

thanks again for all the support!!

preorder store opening soon!

hey guys! just wanted to update yall about the preorder store; i was hoping to have it up tomorrow, but im having some trouble setting a few things up in pledge manager so it might be delayed by a day or two!

just wanted to keep everyone in the loop :) hope youre all having an amazing week!

(we're down to only missing around ~35 pledge payments now, btw! if you haven't been charged yet for your pledge, please check your email!)

funds update + important dates to know!
about 2 months ago – Fri, Oct 04, 2024 at 10:20:39 AM

hey ya'll! just popping in to update everyone on where the funds are at -- we've missing pledges from around 50ish people, so please keep an eye out for a failed payment notification if your pledge hasn't gone through! you only have until october 15th to correct this (but I believe you can still do so via the backerkit survey, even after this date)!

in more general news, here's a little graphic to explain how the next few weeks & months are gonna work for campaign fulfillment:




to answer some burning questions:

  • yes, you can still get a batpack even if you missed out on pledging during the campaign! extra bags will be available in our preorder store once that opens!
  • yes, you can still edit your existing pledge/choose more add-ons! this will be possible once backerkit surveys go out around the 9th.Β 
  • there will be even more additional add-ons that you can choose from as well!

have any more questions? feel free to ask them below!

WE DID IT!!! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
about 2 months ago – Tue, Oct 01, 2024 at 06:51:34 PM



THAT'S A WRAP... we did it, everyone!! thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who supported the batpack project and pledged to our campaign! in total, we...

  • πŸ¦‡ raised $67,334 from 700 backers in just 30 days (before taxes, manu costs, etc)
  • πŸ¦‡ funded nine design variants & unlocked nine pin designs
  • πŸ¦‡ raised $616 for bat conservation in partnership with the lubee bat conservancy!

all i can really say is that i feel incredibly lucky to have had you all join me on this journey so far and i couldn't be more excited to get started on sampling and production for the rest of the batpacks!

so... what happens next??

FIRST, we need to get our funds! if you pledged to the project, your card should have been charged this morning, but sometimes it can take up to a week depending on your bank!

funds will head my way around the 8th or so, which is also when backerkit surveys will start going out for you to choose which designs you want & pay for shipping and all that!

so, for now, just hang tight! I'll be posting a much more detailed time frame for the next few months in a day or two :3
