Latest Updates from Our Project:

!! FINAL WEEK !! All Add-ons Available to Pledge! 10 Pledges needed for "The Courier's Tale" and "Those Who Fight" each!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 08:14:26 PM

Hey Everyone!

First, I just want to shout out that we unlocked our special Holo Stickers!~

Overall super happy with them, and I know they're going to look SICK when they're printed! On weatherproof vinyl, you can put these on just about any surface without fear of tearing or sticker residue!

All Add-ons can now be added to your pledge!

I am going to go ahead and release the ability to back for ALL our rewards! If you'd like to add on any of our stickers, buttons, charms or pins, I recommend you do so! Creating your full bundle now will not only keep down your work level later, but will also boost up our overall pledge amount to help us unlock our last remaining pins!

We are only $100~ away from getting both the Wasteland Charm and the Canary Charm unlocked, so I'm feeling pretty confident that we'll hit those shortly!

Only 10 more pledges needed for "The Courier's Tale" and "Those Who Fight" each!

We are soooo close to unlocking these add-on pins, folks! The two pins are neck and neck in their pledges, but I still need just a few more to cover their production!

Please share the Kickstarter with your friends and on your socials! :D 

I'm a small artist, so any and all help is greatly appreciated!

FAQ Page In The Works

This week I will be working on updating our FAQ Page to make sure that I've covered all possible questions that might arise as we close up shop. If you've had any questions or doubts in the course of our campaign, please send me a private message so I can make sure to both answer you, and write something up for others who might have had the same issue.


The RE8 pin is on its way! If you've been waiting for it, go ahead and pledge! 

Stay tuned for updates regarding its progress. 

!! IMPORTANT UPDATE !! For "The Courier's Tale" and "Those Who Fight" !!

RE8 Pin Has Been Unlocked! End of the Campaign approaches!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 08:14:20 PM

The End is in Sight! Check your loadout, finish up any unfinished business, farm your last bit of XP, and then talk to that last NPC to let them know you're READY.

Okay, maybe all that is a little premature. We still have 4 DAYS left before we close-up shop and two more side quests to complete!

But still, celebration is in order!! This week, we have managed to unlock ALL of our initial pins AND ALL of our freebie reward stretch goals!

If you were interested in any of our add-ons, now is the best time to make sure they're added to your pledge! All add-on pledges factor into our final total and towards our last few stretch goals.

Speaking of which...


In a recent update I talked specifically about "The Courier's Tale" and "Those Who Fight!" 

If you were interested in seeing either of these pins funded, please seek out that post. It is restricted to Backers Only, so make a pledge of any kind to gain access! 

That post is relevant to ALL backers who are interested in these two pins, even if it was an add-on! 

I hope to hear from all of you soon!

It is not too late to get these two pins funded! Remember to keep sharing the Kickstarter with family and friends! 


I have added a few more FAQ page updates! If you still have a question, please send me a message so that I can add it to the list.


Let's finish up this update with our most positive note...


RE8 "A FATHER'S DESPAIR" HAS BEEN UNLOCKED! 

All of the chalices have been assembled, so let's make this baby! 

If you're a big fan of this game, why not make a full bundle? If you select just the pin (THE DLC $18) you automatically receive the button for FREE with your pledge!

Thank you guys again for making this happen. I was so excited to make this pin, and I can't believe I was ever worried about it. You guys are the best. :')


Please keep this momentum going! The last few days are definitely going to be the craziest, but with everyone's support, I know we can accomplish anything. To cheesy?...nah, it's fine. Love you guys!

Also, don't forget to follow my Instagram! I will be continuing to post updates as they come as well as new enamel pin art designs as they arise. ;)

INTERNATIONAL BACKERS HAVE ACCESS!! Details Found Below.

For those who have been following our project from overseas, I have great news! I've come up with an option that allows you to help fund our project and also receive our add-ons and freebies at their exclusive prices!

Using my Etsy Store, I will be able to fulfill your pledge through a private listing. I will be able to create a custom listing that includes all of the items you wish to receive.

How It Works:

  • Make a pledge under our "Game Developers" tier to pledge your intent! If you would like to help pledge towards the funding of one of our goals, you may pledge for your expected full amount! I will keep track of your pledge and subtract it from your final total of your Etsy private listing.
  • Fill out this form! This form will help me keep track of your desired tier and add-ons regardless of how much you've initially pledged towards the campaign. Be sure to read it carefully and select everything you would like to add to your pledge!
  • A final survey will go out to all backers for the "Game Developers" tier to determine pin choices and final amount around August 31st.
  • Shipping will not be calculated at this time. We will be using Etsy to help determine shipping costs.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN "THE COURIER'S TALE" AND/OR "THOSE WHO FIGHT", PLEASE SEE THE UPDATE REGARDING THEIR PROGRESS AFTER BACKING.

If you have any questions on this new implementation, don't hesitate to reach out!

The Wandering Painters Unlocked! Second Freebie less than $100 away! And More!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Aug 03, 2021 at 02:28:30 PM

Talk about progress! 

When I started this project, I had no clue how far it would take me. But now look at us. Look at you! We are close to being 200% funded! I might never start one of these updates without a thank you; you've all earned it. A round of applause to everyone who has backed thus far.

Today, I wanted to do some quick clarifications, as well as set the expectations for this next week. So, let's get started!

Wandering Painters has been Unlocked!

I can't even count how many hours I put into this game starting in '06 on my PS2. Such an inspirational game in so many ways. Themes of loss, resolve, faith and duty in a game about a wolf who grows flowers? Yea. That happened.


Add-on Pin Funding Requirements!

All of our add-on pins -- Silver & Steel, The Courier's Tale, and our Secret pin -- are sort of special. Because they are limited in quantity (this is to ensure we don't go over budget) they function a little bit differently than our starter pins.

The 35 limit is the necessary amount to ensure complete funding of that 2.5" pin. If we sell out of all 35 pins, that pin will be considered funded, regardless of it has been unlocked! 

If we also get suuuuuper close. Like 30-35, we still may be in the green. The minute we hit either goal, Monetary or Pledge, I will be sure to let all backers know!

NOTE: Steel & Silver has been FUNDED. It does not need to meet its 35 pledge limit to qualify for production. 

Second Freebie: Stickers!

I have gone ahead and updated our sticker list! In the end, I will have all 7 designs available as stickers regardless of if the pin itself gets funded! :D Once the secret pin has been revealed, I will update the graphic to include its design as well.

Each sticker will be available as an add-on for $3 each, but remember, if you pledge for "50% Completion"+, you get your choice of two for free! 

Reminder: The cost of add-ons counts! Pledging for 25% Completion + (1) Add-on Pin is the same as 50% completion!

One more Add-on?

Like I promised, RDR fans, I've got one more plan up my sleeve! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the design by today, so I will be surprising everyone with a mid-week update when it's finished! Only one question though. Would you like another option for a holographic sticker, wooden pin, or a keychain?

Here's another survey!

Secret Pin Reveal Soon!?

Yes! Hopefully before the weekend! Though deciding how I do this has been one of the main things that's held us back from the start.

There's a possibility that I might decide to go a roundabout way of revealing this particular pin. This doesn't mean the pin won't be funded through Kickstarter, but that I may reveal it using offsite means such as Instagram or by linking the image through other secure means.

The company that owns this particular game has been infamous for going after creators for even the smallest of infringements, and I would hate to endanger the rest of the designs due to my lack of foresight. Nonetheless, I really do love this design and hope to get it into your hands as well!

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

That's it for now! Look forward to more updates as we continue to push to get them all funded! If you're excited about that RDR pin, make sure you put your funds in the cash box now to help us fund our Mango Farm - er - I mean pin!

Heh Heh. Donante~

Talk to y'all real soon now~
