Rog Knight Plushies

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:
