General update and store! (Patreon)

As I mentioned last week, I'll be putting the AMA on pause until I finish everything with the store. This will give me a little more time to focus on working on the game!

I'm trying to get everything for the store ready as quickly as possible. At this point, we're basically only waiting for two more things to arrive: the packaging to store and protect the tickets, and some stickers!

You've already seen the packaging before, but I'm currently having some trouble getting the dimensions adjusted to the exact size with the printing company. We're also still working out the final prices for the items, so I can't give you an estimate of how much everything will cost just yet.The dakimakuras now use a more comfortable fabric, the keychains have been remade with higher-quality materials, and we now have acrylic stands in addition to the keychains!

The "prototype" items I made during the first tests (keychains, stickers, and tickets) will be given as bonuses to Patreon supporters who purchase from the store, while supplies last!And if there are still some left over, I'm thinking about giving them to a few TFC cosplayers so they can distribute them at events or other places as a sort of ARG haha. It sounds fun! (Although I'd need to find some cosplayers in other countries to send the items to. We'll see about that after the store opens! What do you think?)

Since the AMA will be paused while I give the store my full attention, I'll also be posting weekly store updates until the launch!

The store will initially open to the Blue and Red Ticket/Tent tiers, and if everything goes smoothly on the first day, I'll open it to Patreon supporters starting from the Yellow Ticket tier.So don't worry the updates and new information will always be shared with Patreon supporters first!

I'm already working on the next products so they can start production while the first store test is happening. My goal is that by the time the store launches publicly, Patreon supporters will already be getting updates about the next products.

Right now, the planned items include:

Metal pins of each of the characters

Cards/keychains featuring secret messages from the characters for you

New keychain designs with an extra accessory attached

Small plushies based on the monster silhouettes from Harlequin's story

And a few other ideas that I'm still checking to see if they're possible! I'd also love to hear your suggestions if there's something very specific you'd like to see!One more reminder: once the store launches, please don't share the store link outside of Patreon. Otherwise, I won't be able to properly manage and adjust the available stock.

Thank you for your patience while I get everything ready!
