Hi dear backers, here is a list of updates I wanted to share with you today:
- We just hit 85% of the completion of the survey! Congrats to all of you who already filled it, and for those who didn't here is the link to do it and get your own survey: https://okami.backerkit.com/
- We added our logo to the back of Okami. I've decided to go with a lowkey black-on-black logo so it won't be too loud, but still recognizable.
- Production is about to begin, we had some issues with the 12.9" model, which didn't fit in the press mold, due to a tiny discrepancy from the size of the sample, to the size of the mold.
Here is what happened:
We had to find a solution real quick in order to keep the "buckle" and embed it in another part of the Okami's body. To do so, we went from this position and design of the buckle:
below here there is the solution where the buckle is actually cut out from the Okami's body
(which as a designer, I kinda love it) :
This new shape has been tested and the final strength of the whole structure isn't affected, while actually now it is more integrated into the whole design and it doesn't get in the way as it might before, while on the top.
That's all for today, I will share with you more updates in the coming weeks, so stay tuned and have a great summer (or winter for those on the other side of the world)
Let me know your thoughts and concerns, I'll try to answer as soon as possible.
Mattia & Team Okami
