I haven't written any update so far for the campaign, mostly because after the incredible start I wanted to let the campaign to flow ahead under its own momentum.
Very interestly, the first 48 hours have been the best of any campaign so far: 800 people joined, and many got to make good use of the early bird special. It's a success, for me: it means that the reach of our newsletters and other channels really worked the way it was supposed to.
By then, we unlocked all the planned stretchgoals, and I had to add more - and if there will be more still, I will have to re-do the graphics of the milestones map.
The Plateau
Every campaign has the infamous mid-campaign plateau. Sales slow down after the initial boom, and it's very much expected.
Due to the massive initial reach, the plateau this time has been particularly flat. Which, again, it's the sign that the messages and newsletter really worked well! It's also thet sign that it's time to start sharing around! I have resumed my Instagram Posts, and people have already started to print and paint some of the Swarms!
Sharing photos, spreading the word of FSD is a great way to help the campaign, and ...well, to unlock more stretchgoals!
Next Steps
Ok, so, What's next?
I've spread the stretchgoals a bit more wisely than last campaign, and I hope to have them all done in time. I'm already working with Al Voss for the new Hive Units, and several of the other pieces are in some intermediate stage of sculpting.
I am also resuming the development of Full Spectrum Overdrive, which will see the light hopefully between Q4 2026 and early 2027. It's a lot of work, which is made possible by the support of all of you.
So - lots of cool projects for 2026, and hopefully a whole bunch of new unlocked milestones for the SWARM campaign!
Happy printing,
Jack
