BTW, before anyone freaks out that I'm spending a ton of money or something by supporting a ton of artists, as you can see on the sidebar there, I'm actually doing a sort of mutual networking thing with most of them (soon to hopefully be the rest), where we pledge $1 to one another so our Patreons are featured on each other's accounts.Just letting you all know that in full disclosure, take it as sort of a "these are other cool people you should check out!" mutual promotional thing that I'm doing, so it's not really costing money as it gets paid back to me due to the mutual pledge thing.-------------------------------Now, on a side note, there's this poll; http://strawpoll.me/4465832We're considering having a Dakimakura, with original, hand drawn art by Triangulate, for a reward tier. We might even change the Dakimakura over time so there would be different ones available every few months or so, if people were REALLY interested.Let us know if you'd be interested in a Dakimakura as a reward tier! (Btw, the prices may seem high, but this is actually average rate for them, as we'd not be turning barely anything profit-wise at the $75 level, in fact. But hey, it's REALLY high quality material fabric!)

Was reading this (and voted btw) and was wondering if you would do what you did a while back, where when someone has pledged enough money they could get the daki? Kinda like you did with the game. Just curious because I would love to get one, but I'm not really in a financial place to change my reward tier just yet. Also, would it be single or double sided?

This is really ambitious, and it sounds like an awesome idea~! ... But I'm not too keen on it. It sounds awesome, and it would no doubt bring in a lot of people, but I'm worried that this kind of thing would lead to a lot of complications. I've seen a lot of crowdfunded games go through trouble because they go a little nuts on physical rewards and it ends up biting into their budget.

So... Ive got a question for you HW. (I can call ya that, right?) In any case... Where did you pull out this $75 number for a dakimakura? I live up in Seattle, and we've got a thing called Sakura-Con every year, anime/manga/Japanese convention deal. In the market center they set up, you get a ton of fan artists selling beautiful art and shirts, but you also get vendors flying directly in from Japan selling officially licensed shirts/bags/collectibles... And dakimakuras. Been goin to this for about 10 years now, ever since highschool, with friends, and Ive never seen anybody charge more than $35 - $50 for a dakimakura, depending on popularity/recentness of the character depicted. Keep in mind these are 2x sided, SFW design on the front, NSFW on the back, full size and with a case. and before ya say theyre cheap because of a large company making 'em, theres indie artists that sell them for the same price from time to time, when they have them at all. The only place I could find dakimakuras for as much as you guys want to charge was ebay or other online vendors... If thats how much yall wanna charge then sure thats fine, thats your prerogative, Im just genuinely curious about what made you decide on that high of a dollar amount, because to be honest when I saw it in my email I thought it was a joke and it made me laugh a bit.

Honestly, I would prefer that you focused on the game instead of a body pillow >.>
