Nichelings without gems?

The main reason is that we always considered them more as an in-game UI element (to display actions) then part of the actual character design.
But when players started posting fanart and pretty much always included the gems and also requested features to change gem colors, we realised that people actually really like them ^^
So now they are usually included! (In the plushies for example and also in the mobile game, even though there is no "UI need" for them).

That's kind of interesting to know. At times like these I wish your games had game art books.

It was a Kickstarter reward! We really have to start a merch store at some point xD

We will soon run another Kickstarter for the Adam plushies :D
(Hopefully 2-3 months from now)
Maybe we could go ahead and add the the Niche art book as a reward there.

This is the best day ever!

I NEED an Adam plushie!!

They are going to be cute :D
We have to order at least 500 to get them made, so this definetly needs a Kickstarter.
We are currently at the 6th iteration (right plushie) and the left one was the 5th iteration.
There might be a 7th one with the mouth slightly lower, but not sure yet.
The whole process took about a year, crazy. Prototype -> feedback -> prototype ....

I'm so excited for this! Do you have an idea yet about how much it will cost to get one?

I think v7 will be a good idea, the mouth will probably look better a bit lower,
