Hello miners!  TL;DR - Backerkit is ready! • Surveys will be sent soon to everyone but we’re doing a smoke test first to make sure everything is in working order. We have a FAQ covering your questions about Backerkit, the survey and the late pledges. Pre-production is on-track so far. • The late pledge store is now open too: Late pledges here • Much work was done in the past month: Setting up Backerkit, the late pledges and a slight remodel to make the mugs comfortable to drink from. We are also looking for an office since we’re all currently working from home.  Late pledges are now opened! Where are we in the pre-production schedule?  Things have been moving along quietly.   Mugs:  - The first visual prototypes are done (all the models you’ve seen during the campaign in pictures). - Currently remodeling parts of the mugs, mainly the rim. - Still need to re-do the coloring to be more faithful to the in-game model (Specifically the Slayer Stout body). - Mold manufacturing studies will start once the remodeling is done.  Bottle Opener: - Prototype is functional, quality testing is ongoing.  Coasters: - Final color and model tweaking to prepare for prototyping.  Bar mat: - Final color and model tweaking to prepare for prototyping.  It’s been a month and a lot has happened!  Let’s start with the most important part first: Backerkit and how does it work?  If you’ve pledged during the campaign, you’ll soon receive a survey to fill. It will allow you to choose the color of your mugs, to input the shipping address of your choice and add any extra add-ons you might want to your existing pledge. You will also have the possibility to change your pledge level.  You will have at least until the 30th of September 2025 to fill it out. We’re not going to lock the surveys until we’re ready to start production, so this is just a rough estimate.  We will of course let you know when we have a setup lock date.    With the Backerkit done, it also means we’re now opening our Late Pledges. If you’ve missed the campaign or backed down for whatever reason and want to participate now, you can do so through our late pledge following this link: https://deep-rock-galactic-mugs.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders  You will have access to everything we’ve offered during the campaign for the same price. You can see it as an extension of the campaign itself.     Now, for a quick FAQ about Backerkit, surveys and late pledges:   • Can I change my pledge?  Yes, you can change your pledge level through the pledge manager. Just “Switch your pledge level” on the first page of the survey and select the new pledge level you want. NOTE: Selecting a lower pledge level does not constitute a refund. Instead, you’ll be awarded the difference as a credit you can spend on add-ons or the shipping fees.  Click on the
