Tinker 2018 and Beyond: Survey and Communications
over 7 years ago
– Tue, Aug 07, 2018 at 01:31:55 AM
Hello everyone!
Thank you again for your support in making Tinker goods possible! We're trying to sort out the future of what we can do, and to that end, we've taken the opportunity to set up a survey about what we might do for future Tinker projects, and we'd love your feedback.
The survey is at this link, with a bit of context around it explained on our latest project's update, here.
Also, as part of the survey, we're asking for any of you who may be interested in our work to opt into our newsletter mailing list. This will allow us to just contact everyone on the list without these previous-project-updates, meaning if you're not interested, you won't see these, and if you are interested (thank you!) and have backed us more than once, you won't see duplicate emails.
Thank you all again!

Tinker Fairies, March "All in 1" 1-Week Campaign
about 9 years ago

Hello everyone!
We're trying something slightly crazy for Kickstarter's March "All in 1" March promotion. We're running a one-week campaign to make the Tinker Fairy meeples. We'll offer them as Add On items in the Mad Science meeple campaign when that one closes, but the Tinker Fairy meeple campaign is a quick, low frills campaign to see how well that works out.
It's already funded, so we'll be getting them made. If you're interested in the Tinker Fairies, please check them out and pick some up either in that campaign or with your Mad Science meeples.
Thank you again!

P.S. Yes, we're still going to try to make the Sky Pirate, Rocketeer and Dragon meeples, but we're not quite sure how we'll organize those into Kickstarter campaigns yet. This short one-week thing might help us make some decisions on those designs.

Hello everyone!
We just launched a campaign for the new batch of metal meeples: the Mad Scientist and the Tinkerer! Please spread the word if you can. We're looking forward to getting these new meeples made for everyone!
Thank you!

Hello Everyone!
It's been a crazy couple of months, and I'm sorry, I meant to post earlier. I've finished up the designs for the next couple of batches of Tinker Metal Meeples, and will try to launch a new campaign for the Mad Scientist and Tinkerer soon. I have their prototypes, I just need to take some beauty photos and polish up the campaign page. I'd like to streamline it a bit compared to this campaign as well, to make shipping faster and easier.
In the meantime, though, I also have the designs for the rest of the Meeples I'd like to produce in the near future. There are plenty of other possible designs, but these are the ones in the pipeline.
Also, we are still working on a good website shop for sales of remainders, but unfortunately, life has been extraordinarily full of late, and I just haven't been able to get it sorted yet. Similarly, I don't have the Tinker Carcassonne tile art finished yet, but it's still in the works.
Thank you all again for your support! I'll post again when we have the new Mad Science campaign up and running. In the meantime, if you have any lingering questions about this campaign, please ask me in the private comments. It's easier for me to keep track of what goes on there.

Shipping Mini-Update, World Dice Day
over 9 years ago
– Sun, Dec 04, 2016 at 08:50:14 PM
Hello everyone!
There are a couple of packages that I still need to send out, pending answers to questions I have, so please check your Kickstarter messages if you're curious.
The shipping company in the UK had to repackage everything because Customs opened every single thing I sent in the master shipment to them. I'm still not sure why, as I tried to be as clear as possible in labeling and itemizing, but I guess that's my luck. Customs also swiped a few samples, so we're lucky that I sent some extras along. The shipping company is working on packages and should have everything on its way shortly if it's not already out the door.
Other than that, your meeples are on their way!
Thank you again, everyone!
Oh, and in celebration of World Dice Day, this is the chart I sent to the factory to see about getting some new Fudge dice made.
That project is still in the "make prototypes" phase, but we're trying to get the word out so we can hit the ground running. I'm not sure yet if it's something that we'll do as a Kickstarter project, so it's entirely likely that we'll do another batch of metal meeples as a new Kickstarter first. That will likely be the Mad Scientist and the Tinkerer couple. The Rocketeer and Sky Pirate will come later since we don't have a prototype for the Sky Pirate yet. I'm not sure where we'll splice the Fairy and Dragon in, but possibly as their own mini-campaign (since you don't need a full playset of 8 Dragons or Fairies in each color, as far as I know). It's going to be simpler and cleaner if we break things up in smaller campaigns like that, which means less trouble with the logistics of actually getting them out to all of you.
I'm still working on the steampunk Carcassonne tile set. I'll post that on my blog and mention it here when it's done, and it'll be available as a free download.
Thanks!
Tesh
