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 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.
