64 Bit Memories

Hello again gamers!

I wanted to let you all know that I'll be putting in the order for the pins for this campaign later this week! I'm super excited to get some work in progress photos soon!

Additionally, some of the stickers have arrived and are so cool! I love the glitter effect on the Clefairy sticker, honestly this picture doesn't do it justice!



That's all I have for you today! If you want to follow my upcoming campaigns, here's what's coming up!

This June, I'm launching Tails of Tokyo | Modern Day Kitsune Enamel Pins! This campaign is an original art campaign featuring Kitsune themed designs focused on various Japanese subcultures, including gyaru, decora, and lolita! This is a part of the Pin Quest Group Collab! Check it out HERE or by clicking the banner below!



Then, in August, I'm launching Hero's Hoard: Timeless Mini Pins -- a Zelda/OOT themed set of mini pins featuring items from the game in my style! This is a part of the Pocket Change Group Collab! Check it out HERE or by clicking the banner below!



For this year's Pintober, I'm launching Elemental Evolutions -- a series of enamel pins focusing on the Eeevelutions with their type symbols! These are 1.75in pins featuring gold plating and glitter, and an expansion on my very popular Sylveon design from a previous campaign, PokePostage. I'm so excited to get to draw all the Eevees! Check it out HERE or click the banner below!



And finally, for next year's Pintopia, I'm doing a sequel to this year's Pintopia campaign, 64 Bit Memories. That campaign was centered around N64 games, and I polled my backers there to see what they would like to see as a sequel. Gameboy + DS won, so Handheld Memories will officially launch in January 2027! Follow HERE to stay updated, or click the banner!



Curious to see what projects I cook up, updates and WIPs as I design, and have a voice in my design process? Join my Discord HERE for a full Crowdfunding schedule, updates, convention announcements and more!

Hello!

I just wanted to post a reminder that surveys are due for this campaign on the 15th!

Thank you to everyone who has already filled it out! There are 11 of you who still need to, so please fill it out ASAP.

Outside of that, I've launched a new campaign as part of the A Pin Of Pride group collab! Love is Super Effective is an expansion on my existing Pokeball mini pins, now with pride flags! Follow the campaign HERE or click the banner!



If you back 3+ campaigns in the collab, you'll get a free pin from each of us! And since you've backed a previous campaign of mine, you will get a free sticker as well if you back!

I hope you all are having a good March so far! Thank you again for all the support!

Much love,

Katze

Hey gamers!

The survey is now LIVE for all backers! Please check your emails for a link to complete the survey!

You will have until March 12th to complete it. If you have not completed your survey at this point, I will not be able to guarantee that the items you want will be avaliable to you, as I will be determining how many of each pin/keychain/etc I need to order thru the counts I get from the survey.

In the last update, I included a poll for what you guys would prefer for a sequel campaign. I'm excited to say that handhelds have dominated that poll with almost 50% of the vote!



I plan on launching that campaign for next year's Pintopia, unless a better suited Group Collab happens between now and then. So, look forward to Handheld Memories coming soon! Don't wanna miss it? I've got the pre-launch page up now so you can get notified about it as I have any updates! Click HERE or the banner below!



I do also have three other campaigns coming up!

The next one is in JUST UNDER TWO WEEKS! March 10th I'm launching  Love is Super Effective, part of the A Pin Of Pride collab! This campaign is an expansion on my existing Pokeball mini pins, now with pride flags! Follow the campaign HERE or click the banner!



This June, I'm launching Tails of Tokyo | Modern Day Kitsune Enamel Pins! This campaign is an original art campaign featuring Kitsune themed designs focused on various Japanese subcultures, including gyaru, decora, and lolita! This is a part of the Pin Quest Group Collab!

That's all I have for y'all for now!

Wishing you all the best,

Hey gamers!

Great news -- the setup review for surveys passed all checks, and I was given the go ahead to send smoke tests.

A select few of you will recieve a link to complete your survey tonight. If you did, please fill it out ASAP! Additionally, if there are any issues, please let me know via a comment, dm, or email. I want to resolve any issues before it goes out to the masses, so it's vital you give me feedback if there is any to be had!

The main survey will launch on February 26th for all backers. You will have until March 12th to complete your survey. If you have not completed your survey at this point, I will not be able to guarantee that the items you want will be avaliable to you, as I will be determining how many of each pin/keychain/etc I need to order thru the counts I get from the survey.

Last but not least, I've attatched a poll asking what you'd prefer for a sequel campaign to this one -- the options are Gamecube, Wii, or Handhelds (Gameboy + the DS family!)!

That's all from me for now. I hope you've all been well this week!

Much love,

Katze

We crossed the finish line, folks! Pintopia has come to a close once more!

First of all, thank you all SO much for supporting this campaign. I've said it a few times now, but the N64 is so near and dear to my heart. Making these designs was truly a labor of love and I am so glad the designs hit home with so many of you!

I've got some fun stats to share regarding how this campaign did in comparison to last year's Pintopia, but I know that's not everyone's cup of tea, so those will be at the bottom of this update.

More importantly, though, I wanted to give you all a timeline of what the next steps are in this campaign's process!

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this process! I'm happy to answer!

Aside from that, I do want to take a quick moment to remind you all that my next campaign goes live on March 10th as part of a new group collab here on Backerkit, A Pin of Pride! This campaign is for a set of pride flag themed Pokeball mini pins! I'm really excited for this campaign -- if all things go right, I should be able to have them in-hand for my in person Pride events this June + July. I hope you'll follow the campaign by clicking the banner below!



Finally, let's get to those stats I mentioned earlier. These are here because I want to celebrate these achievements with all of you -- because you are who have made them possible.

I saw a 227% increase in pre-launch followers, and a 47% increase in backers for this campaign compared to last year's Pintopia! I also raised almost 80% more than last year's campaign!

My audience has grown a lot since last year (we're over 500 followers here on BK, yippee!), so seeing those stats makes me feel very fulfilled, and like I'm doing something right, lol. It's really cool to see genuine growth over this past year!

I hope each and every one of you realizes just how much you impact indie creators with your pledges. Being a full-time artist wouldn't be possible for me without the support you've shown me. Pintopia is made almost entirely of small indie creators as well, and it really warms my heart seeing how much we able to achieve as a whole!

Thank you to everyone who supported the Game Over banner that I ran this year, and to everyone who supported Pintopia in general. It really does mean the world.

That's all the sappy talk I have for one day, though. Here is a picture of my cat for tax if you read to the bottom of this update.



Talk to you soon,

Katze
