Hello.

Last week I have been contacted by Makeship to create a plushie themed on Rogue: Genesia. While I initially was sceptical (I received a mountain of obvious spam in my mail about X or Y since the 1.0 release), after a bit of research, I've found out that they are legit, and that they even made some plushies for a very well-known boomer shooter that starts with ultra, and ends with kill.

They proposed to make a plushie for Rogue: Genesia.

Their process is quite interesting and totally adapted to an indie/solo dev like me. They first create a pledging campaign, where people can pledge $30 + tax/shipping (only $2 are deducted at this point) to buy a plush. If 200 or more people pledge, then the campaign is a success (otherwise, every person who pledged gets reimbursed the $2 they initially had deducted). Once the campaign is a success, there will be a 90 to 180-day phase with their design where I'll give multiple feedbacks to finalize the design. After this, the plushies will be available for sale on their website for 21 days. I quickly realized this could be a super cool way to have a cute plushie of Rog (I ran a survey on the game Discord to know which character players would prefer as a plushie first, but Rog won by a landslide)
Following that, I couldn't stop myself from making a small concept art of what a plushie of Rog would look like, trying to base myself on their existing plushies.

The pledging campaign is available at this link if you are interested:
