This was never meant to be something for mass production! Since posting some pictures and teasing about these figures on social media, a lot of people have been asking if we would be making more and have even offered to buy these from us! I&#8217;m flattered that people like our character enough to want to buy a tiny figure of them, that&#8217;s really awesome!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2306\" src=\"https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Fire-Witch-Chibi-2-small-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Witch Chibi 2 (small)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Fire-Witch-Chibi-2-small-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Fire-Witch-Chibi-2-small-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Fire-Witch-Chibi-2-small-768x514.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If we created some cute figures, they could definitely serve as a small vehicle to fund the development of TinyWars! I think that would be a really nice thing for us. However, current funds for our game development is already pretty tight as it is! If we were to take a gamble at mass producing some figures we would be very low on development funds, which means these would have to sell fast or else development of the game could rely on how fast the figures sell! (Mass producing is the only way we would be able to sell these at a reasonable price and turn a decent enough profit to significantly contribute to the development of our game.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2310\" src=\"https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/TinyWars-business-Cards-2-Small-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"TinyWars business Cards 2 (Small)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/TinyWars-business-Cards-2-Small-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/TinyWars-business-Cards-2-Small-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/TinyWars-business-Cards-2-Small-768x516.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have a development budget, we have a marketing budget, physical figures for sale was never a factor that we thought would actually take off as an alley for funding. Now that I think about it more, this could be something we&#8217;d definitely be interested in pursuing. We would probably have to take a lot of pre-orders first before we could be confident in paying high prices to mass produce these cuties! Currently we have about total 1000 fans on social media, we are still VERY early in development, I didn&#8217;t expect artwork alone to bring in huge crowds, we still have a long way to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps in the future, if we have a larger fan base and more specific interest in these figures, I&#8217;d love to open some sort of pre-orders program. Putting these figures in the hands of fans who love our game would be a dream come true, and if it means additional funds to build this awesome game, all the better! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2311\" src=\"https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Fire-Witch-CHibi-on-Eye-Ball.png\" alt=\"Fire Witch CHibi on Eye Ball\" width=\"435\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Fire-Witch-CHibi-on-Eye-Ball.png 435w, https:\/\/tinywarsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Fire-Witch-CHibi-on-Eye-Ball-300x236.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re so early in development, I don&#8217;t want to\u00a0reveal too much about the gameplay yet, which is why all these posts have been about\u00a0artwork and figures.
