Wrapping Up Animation and Offers (+refund info)

Hi Patrons, here's an April update on things so far.

Animation Progress & Delay Announcement

The animation's ending and credits are done! Apart from one last background, all that's left is to stitch all the scenes together + one final spot check. The animation has truly come together into a high-quality piece, and I am very grateful to you guys for enabling me to recreate an important period of my life. Similar to the GG & the Green-Eyed Cowboy, it's something that I know I will reflect upon for many years.

Although we're still unable to release the animation until the summer (mentioned in the previous post), completion of this beast of a project marks an important milestone nonetheless. Plus it means we're even closer to the next animation.

News about the delay is also public now, as presented in this video:

Cameos and Credits Closed

Since we're wrapping up post-production, further responses to the cameo and credits survey are now closed. I've been careful to check all eligible patrons for the credits sequence, but if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to DM me here on Patreon or at michael@gildedguy.com.

Keychains Update

The keychain shipments are still being fulfilled, there are several dozen addresses left. The Big "C" charms had a bit of a delay due to their bulkier size, but we'll be sending out more of them very shortly. Please let me know if there's any problems with your merch, or if you'd like an update on the delivery.

Note: The keychain special offer will last until April 7th.

To New Patrons - Refunding Double Charges

A quick notice to any new signups. If any of you guys only intended to pledge for 1 month (March), you can DM me to request a refund for Patreon's April 1st charge. Patrons who also pledged near the end of March, not expecting an immediate charge today may also request a refund. 

This new patron signup "double charge" issue is being looked into by Patreon, but in the meantime I advise you to pledge near the beginning of the month whenever using Patreon.

April 1st: Discord Server - Soapy's Cat

One of our production team member's cat, Camyrn, hacked into the Discord Server. Lots of Gilded cat art was generated as a result.

Thank you for checking in on this update - I aim to have more art content to report later in April, once everything with Story #0 is completely wrapped up!
