1:53 a great observation about this is Walt Disney himself. Once he started focusing on theme parks (his merch for Disney, per se), his films flipped in quality because he wasn't focusing on film anymore. He was focusing on "merch" only and no one else could make their films work as well as he did.

Your views on making merch is exactly why I think the game and Rambly himself are such wonderfully made. Especially in the case of Rambly he actually feels like a character instead of just a design to slap on some piece of merch for a quick book as he should be not to mention the world itself feels alive and even in this first chapter it feels like there's so much lore to be uncovered. Needless to say this is my new favorite horror game

[@lilwoofs]

Already?! (Also I cannot wait for the game to come out! It looks so good! Can’t wait to listen to those tunes!!! I love the sound of what it’s going to be like (and the talented people working on it) so far! And the art looks amazing

[@1-upanimations878]

Merch idea: Use your drawn version of you interacting with Rambly (like him on your head, holding hands, or something like that); it could be posters, pins, badges, and other stuff. Idk, just an Idea to ponder on…

That's what i want! For merch i love immersion.

[@bustedblu7737]

For merch ideas, plushies would definetly be a good starting point while having the added bonus of nipping the bootlegs in the bub. Cool stickers of the 2D designs of your characters would also be really cool. And since your making posters of the characters to put in game, physical copies of the in game posters could also be really cool. And later down the road, you might wanna do more character centric items. Like a red bandana with the indigo park logo on it for Rambley, a small toy version of Molly's air plane, etc. The idea behind these items is that they could have been sold at gift shops in the actual game.

[@Minymonkey]

I just realised that Rambley is a twist on rambling so he is clearly sort of a fact dumper

My favorite type of merch is something that feel like it could come from the setting it self. Which for a mascot horror set in a theme park would be really easy. I want to own the character key-chains or those 2 sided Rambly shirts I see in the Gift-shops in the game, maybe a racoon ear headband or hat based on the classic Mickey-ear ones. Something that people in-universe could have bought back when the park was still open.

Announcement trailer released... then boom, knockoff merchandise. It's best to sell shirts and other good ones if you release Chapter 2, and once you fully complete Indigo Park... you can sell an official plushie about the funni ourple Rambley the Racoon, and must be a collab from a official plush selling site like Makeship!!! (Just like how you sell your own plushie) I hope you're doing well on finishing Chapter 1's progress, as it could be really peak indie horror territory right there. Unreal Engine is a great program for this game (and its canceled "Garten of Banban Reincarnated"), that it's legitimately worth using in 3D (and 2D) game development. (Because Unity is falling off recently) Go wishlist Indigo Park, everybody!! Questions that you answered are great ones. I'm so glad that JakeNeutron and RecD are in the game's music department!!

[@ninja-trix]

Since you’re planning on having a shorter first chapter, I recommend calling it either a prologue or Chapter Zero. Making it a prologue and tutorial will help everyone understand it but there should also be a hook by the end. I’d recommend checking out the demo for Backbone (Renamed “Tails Noir”, as Backbone Prologue introduces the main character, gameplay elements, environment, and ends with a strong hook that gets you interested in seeing the rest.

[@Mrhaotvr]

Don’t buy knockoffs off merch don’t buy you could just wait for the official one

Also, i hope there's alot of voice lines. You mentioned portal, and one of my favorite things about it is just how much dialogue there is. Like just hidden dialogue for doing certain things. Like if you actually jump into one of Wheatley's traps he gets surprised. Or those certain bits where he just talks alot and if you stay there he'll continue talking. I love the dialogues in portal and stuff like it, like stanley parable. I can't wait to see how the game turns out.
