Unexpected Last-Minute Add-On Cuteness O_O

Introducing REVERSIBLE Unstable Unicorn and Narwhal Mini Plushies :D:D  I'm super excited to show these off, because they've been in progress for a while now and are finally prototyped!

 

These are just prototypes, and the actual ones will come in multiple color varieties.  They will be available as add-ons for $15.  Like the other plush add-ons, I can't guarantee the color that you will get, but I'll get a listing of possible color options as soon as it is ready (and all will be reversible with happy-angry faces like these).  

They will be available for add-on in the BackerKit survey that goes out 2 weeks after the campaign ends.  These will be available for sale after the campaign ends at TeeTurtle as well, but I won't be able to combine them with your pledge shipment unless you add them through KS.

Also, we are doing our best to keep up with all of the unicorns we owe you, but we are way behind!  Here's what I've got for you now:

Latina Unicorn with a Puerto Rican flag

-------------- 

Dodging Bullets Unicorn

 

--------------

Kittencorn on a lamp post

 

--------------

Unicorn playing Unstable Humans

 

--------------

Mer-lion-icorn

At the rate things are going, we will be working on these well after the project ends, but we'll keep chugging away for the last few days of the campaign and try to catch up as much as possible :D

Unicornization! 20,000 backers! Other things!

First of all, I have now forgotten on three consecutive updates to show the new exclusive shirt designs that will be available as add-ons :D So here they are!

Second, we are at 20 social stretch goals!! What I’ve decided is that we will be launching an Unstable Unicorns webcomic that will be updated going forward after this project ends :D 

 We already have a lot of ideas, but we are going to start with some “rejected cards” that didn’t make it into the game. If you have anything you’d like to see in our webcomic, let me know in the comments.  The comic will be available at unstableunicorns.com when the full site goes live :)

As some astute backers noted on the last post, I miscounted the number of cards that are in the game. Including the rules/optional rules cards, the total is now 275 cards across all expansions (not 256).

I've been getting a lot of questions about the play mats, and I finally have actual prototype photos of them!  They are, in fact, a mousepad type of material.

 

And lastly, we are already up to 9 backers as unicorns that I owe you! I wanted to explain the very algorithmic criteria I will be using to determine who will be selected:

1. You have been super helpful answering questions in the comments throughout this campaign when I have been busy and/or lazy

2. I think it will be fun to draw the unicorn you requested

3. I closed my eyes and pointed to your name and decided to make you a unicorn.

So with that, Angela, this one’s for you- The resemblance is truly striking (I assume):

(More to come soon!)

ONE MILLION DOLLARS: A Comic
over 7 years ago – Mon, Sep 11, 2017 at 01:32:23 AM

Here's an inside view into the last 25 days of my life:

First of all, THANK YOU.  I couldn't bring myself to prepare for this moment, because it seemed so unlikely, and yet here we are.  $1,000,000.  Life doesn't feel real right now.

(But just in case it is real...)

Since the start of this project, we've gone from 116 cards in the base pack plus 2 Kickstarter Exclusive cards to 256 cards across the main deck and 4 expansions.

And that includes the now unlocked addition to the Kickstarter Exclusive family:

 Just as a reminder, all pledges that include any Kickstarter Exclusive cards (including the earliest backers) will get all 5 :)

 

Many of you have been wondering what will happen with Stretch Goals for the rest of the campaign.  I definitely did not anticipate a scenario where I had to come up with SGs past $1M, but I want this campaign to be the most fun possible for the next 5 days.

There won't be any more "formal" stretch goals.  I will be working on a lot of stuff that has been requested (like sleeves, bigger boxes, etc.), but since I don't have timelines or prototypes, I don't want to "unlock" them.  I promise that if any of those things become available, I'll send out an update.

So instead, this is what we will do: for every $10k we go over $1M, we will draw one of our most active backers as a unicorn.  So start figuring out what you'd look like, let me know in the main comments, and we will get to work drawing for you :D  And who knows, maybe we will figure out something to do with all of the new unicorns in the future ;)

My transformation is nearly complete

I can't believe it is already the last week!  We unlocked our $900k stretch goal, and I guess that means it is time to have a $1,000,000 SG O_O

  

  

  

Also, I think I've officially lost my mind.

Drunk naked party! WOOHOO!

First of all, I wanted to reassure everyone that I am not dead even though I didn't update yesterday. (What was that? You didn't even notice? Hm...)

Anyway, we unlocked a new Stretch Goal today, and you didn't even know what actually it was!  Until now, that is.  So we are officially adding two rules cards into the NSFW pack, one with optional drinking rules and one with optional stripping rules.

 

Also, I wanted to give an update about add-ons.  A lot of people have asked about adding items from the teeturtle.com website as add-on items through the campaign.  I won't be able to put the entire catalog in as add-ons, but I'll at least include around 30 t-shirts that are unicorn and/or narwhal related for those who are interested in adding those (in addition to a few other items).  In terms of add-on pricing, this is what you can expect:

T-shirts: $20

 

Sticker Sheets: $5

  

Socks: $10

 

Slippers: $30

(Also, those are my legs in those slippers.  Bet you didn't know I was a model)

Don't worry, you don't need to figure out all of the add-ons and everything in advance- you'll be able to select all of your add-ons and add funds within the BackerKit survey that goes out 2 weeks after the campaign ends :D

You can expect the 3 new exclusive Unstable Unicorns tees in tomorrow's update.
