FormFitter Update!

In short: The Kickstarter is ready, the roadmap is ready - the only thing still not confirmed yet is advertising.
As I've learned more about the Kickstarter platform and these things in general it's really important to line up advertisers beforehand and try to raise as much money in the first 48 hours as possible so you can get in the good graces of the Kickstarter algorithm. With the amount of money we're trying to raise I don't want to take any chances and end up not meeting our goal.
Roadmap: On the second photo you'll see the development of the program split into 4 stages, the timeline at each stage, and what it's costing to develop. Keep in mind this is just for the web MVP version (although if we blow past our goal we can work on the standalone version concurrently). Current estimates are for a working MVP at the end of July 2026!
To do: I've met with one advertising agency already and have a meeting planned with another one later today. I will make my decision at the end of the week and we'll start preparing assets and an advertising plan. I'm traveling to Adepticon at the end of the month so Kickstarter launch is looking at sometime in April - this is the hard deadline I'm giving myself since people are eager to start their 2026 cosplays.
Thank you all for your patience, I know you're as excited for FormFitter as I am but it's going to take time to do it right!

Question if thats ok maybe I'm just not reading the Kickstarter correctly? Is the initial sizing model just for Mens body's? or will there also be a women options from the start? Or is that only as a stretch goal? Because the avatar pictured is only of a male form factor. Didn't see any, say, cup size options for chests or additional measurements women need when fitting busts? Love the project just asking if it'll be usable for Lady's like myself :)
I have literally been waiting for this, I have a bunch of stuff planned!
Can't wait. It is going to be a game changer for serving our customers better. Thank you for all your hard work!
Good luck with the launch Fella.
Take your time Aaron, no worry the community stands on your side
Excellent. Thank you for the update. Just here waiting on the dock to jump on board at launch.
That sounds like a great timeline for a KS. Will you be at a booth at Adepticon?
Nah we're delivering a big statue for a client and speaking at the Warmachine keynote though!
Looking forward to supporting. Great work guys!
Very excited for all of this! I've been hyping it up with every cosplayer I know.
Thank you for keeping us posted and best of luck with the launch. I think it’ll do well
