Okay. so continuing from another discussion about how oort could make money after launch (which they certainly deserve) i would like to discuss merchandise cause its freaking awesome, what would you guys like to see?
i would like to see:
Normal Posters
The epic Oort online armband
Special posters signed by the entire team which would be way more expensive (this would be so cool xD)
Plushies.
Clothes such as Shirts and Hoodies.
what about the rest of you? this is also only if they plan to do merchandise though (which i sincerly hope they do)
If there will be an iconic creature, Titan or the races, my be that some statues may be nice … but start with posters, armbands and cloth until the fanbase has grown a lot
Merchandise can be setup in literally minutes using a service like http://www.queensboro.com . They will produce and ship items on demand on decent products (unlike some similar services). Plus, it will add a few bucks to the Oort coffers.
To make items more attractive, maybe offer some items just until launch. It does not cost extra to do that.
Orange plush blocks…ideal for collecting…like a trophy. One could build caves and houses with them, maybe not exactly an iglo, but skilled builders could manage even this. Hm…if I was a child I’d go nuts for stuff like that. After all I still find the orange blocky chars very inspiring. I hope it is not too much of a mockery, I could live with them the rest of my Oort life. But someday chars will come, and maybe even the possibillity to determine if a friend-char is looking up/down or nods or shakes his or her head.
If I would be able to order a pink t-shirt with a white logo on it I would pay 30 bucks plus shipping instantly. Twice as fast ( ) if the half of it would be added to the collected funds for the development.
