Hello Maplers!
I hope you are spending quality time this Memorial weekend with friends and/or family. I would like to share some updates!
{ Production & Fulfillment }
The remade batch of pins have arrived this month, and they look good to go!
This concludes the production timeline, so all remaining unfulfilled backer rewards will be packed and start shipping this week.
With production and fulfillment wrapping up, once June ends, if there are still any missing backer rewards that have not arrived, please contact me so we can get that resolved.
{ Future Plans }
Store Re-opening:
My online storefronts will most likely re-open in June, and the extras/restocks from this project will be added to the store. The enamel pins will be available to purchase via a gacha system (random draw), but a few of the error batches will be available to purchase directly.
Future Designs:
There were many backers who expressed interest in other designs. Currently, due to the United States' tariff situation, as well as me wanting to pivot towards game development and more original merchandise, it is uncertain when or if I will expand this collection of MapleStory-inspired enamel pins. If I do end up adding more designs, I will make an update in the future to let everyone know.
{ SJMADE FEST 2025 }
This upcoming weekend, I will be sharing a booth at the local SJMADE Fest with my friend Stephuangart (she is away for work, so her sister will be managing her booth in her place this time). We are located at Booth D33!
You can find more information about the event here: https://www.sanjosemade.com/pages/sjmade-fest-2025
For the event, I will have extras of the MapleStory-inspired pins loaded into a gachapon machine!
{ MapleStory Worlds: Monster Royale }
Play Monster Royale now! (Available on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android) https://maplestoryworlds.nexon.com/en/play/a2edcd3b29324c2f82bd6d6eea957816/
After 3 months of hard work, my teammates and I have recently released Monster Royale to the public! We had to cut down some of the game features due to time constraints and difficulties encountered using the MSW editor, but we hope to develop these features for future updates.
Here are some images from the game:
We currently have our launch event from May 20, 2025 to June 30, 2025, where players can earn rewards from daily check-ins and hidden missions.
If you'd like to see more updates for our game and/or ask for a match buddy, you can join our Discord server here: https://discord.gg/Qbz8SCCJfV
MapleStory Worlds Livestream:
MSW Community Manager Cabbie will be live-streaming the remaining MSW Creator Workshop games tomorrow, May 27, 2025, at 11:00am PDT. Tune in to see what Monster Royale is like in action, and maybe even get the chance to play some matches with other players!
{ Ending Notes }
That is all for now. I want to thank you all again for backing this Kickstarter project to help bring these Maplestory-inspired enamel pin designs to life! I hope they bring you as much joy as they did for me creating them. :) It has been a pleasure to kinda go full circle, switching my major from CS to game dev/concept art years ago after much support in the MapleStory community, starting my own small business, and now doing game dev through MapleStory Worlds! It seems like Maplestory has shaped my life in some significant ways. What does MapleStory mean to you?
Stay comfy y'all, and much love,
Lena, aka Renni
