Our Start Date For Our Kickstarter Project Is Announced!

We’ve selected the start date for our Kickstarter project.  We plan to launch Friday, September 27th.  We will run for 30 days, and will end either on Saturday, September 26th or we may and try to stretch to end on Sunday, September 27th, just to get that extra day on the weekend.

We’re very excited as things are starting to come together.  We’ve just decided on our “stretch” rewards and a few “add-ons”.  We are still sorting out our weekly (limited) “surprise” awards.  These awards will be announced by the end of each week of our project, and will be something that will go above and beyond what we will normally be offering as rewards.  Because of the “above and beyond” part, we will only be offering a few of these, and each week will be something different.

We will also be offering some special “bonus” awards that will be totally FREE!  We will be announcing those in the near future.

Our First Mold Design Is In Production (For Kickstarter)

We are excited to report that our first mold design is officially in production.  The manufacturer that we will be purchasing our equipment from will be building our first mold design for us.  This mold is of our mascot, and will be used for our rewards for Kickstarter.  We should have them done and delivered in a few weeks.

Here’s a sneak peak of what the mold will look like when it’s done (the test mold):

We Got Our First Test Mold Manufactured!

We are very excited. We just got a test done of our mascot as a chocolate mold. It’s very exciting to see it go all the way from a 2d graphic, to 3d model, then to a negative chocolate mold in polycarbonate.

Below are photos of a “positive” done of the mascot in wax, and then a “negative” of the mascot in polycarbonate material:

Note: the .avi of the 3d mascot turntable is not the final design of the mascot.  We had to make a few modifications for manufacturing.  But it’s pretty close.
