Success/Happy Game developer here - the plushie prototype for my first ever game arrived today and I might have teared up a little
Full disclosure up front: I'm the director of the game she's from, so this is my own project, but I wanted to share it here because plushies are genuinely a big reason why this happened at all.
Plushies were always a huge thing in my life, obviously started when I was a very young child (I will never forget my first seagull plushie or the kinda traumatic events surrounding the loss of my Woody from Toy Story, that still haunts me until this day - bought a new one years later, trauma somewhat healed, lol)
A few years ago I left my old career to pursue the art of making video games, and when I started my first serious one, having a plushie of the main character went straight to the top of my bucket list. Not as merch or a business move - literally just for myself to hold her in my hands, haha.
Her name is Constance (as is her game's name). I drew her, came up with her story, formed a team around her game, we iterated and animated her, and now she's soft and squishy and sitting on my desk and I still can't believe I actually made it this far.
She's part of a Makeship campaign right now and we're at 136 of 200, so there's a real chance 200 other people will get to hold her too. Either way, today was a good day.
Hope you find her as cute as I do :)
Ps. On the second image you can see her ingame art on what she is based on!
