As of an hour ago, the Vivi and Arthur Campaign has now concluded!
The final totals are-
Arthur at 1347 plushes
Vivi at 1332 plushes
A combined 2679 have been sold and are ready to get produced!
The plushes are expected to get shipped out May 19 so it won't be too long for it to reach all of you!
A huge thanks to everyone who ordered anything, every order is greatly appreciated! And thanks to Makeship for being awesome folks to work with!
This month has been a bit of a whirlwind, what the dealing with the plush campaign among other things. I got another game stream in as well which should be on the live tab of the Youtube channel! As was kind of hinted at during said stream, my mildly sore throat turned into some kind of bug that knocked me out pretty well for a week, which I'm just now getting out of.
Regardless the video continues to get work chipped away at it! We've got someone lined up to start the coloring process of Background art which is exciting! One of the most difficult shots in the video had its clean up turned in, which is a huge undertaking in-of-itself. I still need to personally go in and do final corrections but its nice to get that monster to the point where it is! Rough animation is getting extremely close to finalizing on the epilogue sequence, and in general, I think we may only have less than 10 shots that still need some form of rough animation (at least in terms of shots that aren't purely an effects shot of some degree).
To go back to the plushes for a second, these Vivi and Arthur ones may be the last big merch occasion until we get the video out. For those asking about additional characters, we probably won't be planning on it until there is a video up and viewable for everyone. There may be some smaller things happening (like a simple hoodie or things along those lines), but nothing on the scale of these latest plushes as they are fairly time consuming to produce and sale.
Tax season is also upon us now which is...... always fun*....
*It's not fun. At all.
Once again, thanks to everyone for their support!
