SAINTCON 26 Comms Log

Official in-universe comms log reviewed on September 29, 2026. Four badge-fabrication-bay intercepts (June 13, July 10, July 27, and August 23, 2026) tease a close-up component photo, a badge proof showing wings and a rocket passing a ringed planet, and a twelve-image transmission; a September 8 entry rumours a MiniBadge bingo game, and a September 22 A-Maze-ing Phase 2 entry offers the Jupigotchi MiniBadge to the top 50 solvers. The October 15, 2026 recheck found an October 2 store-catalogue notice listing shirts, badges, lock tools, and more for in-person purchase only at the convention-center café, an October 2 Intercept 007 saying whatever they are building is made to connect to something (the first intercept with motion and audio), an October 11 Intercept 008 crane-assembly construction test, and an October 14 Octopus Game recruitment dispatch. The October 24, 2026 recheck adds an October 22 scoreboards notice, the October 23 MiniBadge Assembly Guide notice, and October 24 floor maps. The teasers publish no MCU, schematic, firmware, or image licence.

Primary official teaser source for the badge-fabrication-bay intercepts through Intercept 008 (October 11, 2026), the October 2 in-person store notice that lists badges among purchasable items without saying which, including the July 27, 2026 badge proof described as wings and a rocket climbing past a ringed planet and stars, and for the Jupigotchi MiniBadge puzzle prize. It is narrative teaser evidence for artwork direction and a prize MiniBadge only, not a final hardware specification, production count, or image-reuse grant.

SAINTCON 2026 MiniBadge Assembly Guide v1.0

Primary official source for the 2026 MiniBadge set, retrieved as a 21,175,129-byte PDF (SHA-256 62027f7418282e1b16cf4b137bc186a91cdbb51864d6a1d39b0f8125b26386c4). It credits Jup1t3r with the SAINTCON 2026 Official, Family Night Official, and OFFICIAL H.A.C.K MiniBadges. The SAINTCON 2026 Official MiniBadge is a beginner 1206 LED and resistor kit included with the registration packet. The H.A.C.K set is v-cut into letters and comes in the registration packet or is found around the con. The Jupigotchi is a fully assembled ATtiny MiniBadge with very limited supply. Rarity bands are self-reported estimates, and the guide says nothing about the main badge's electronics.
