also: while i know the demand isn't as high, i'd really love to see some penumbra merchandise, too.

overall, i'd say that the interest is certainly there, seeing as people are selling plenty of fan-made things on other websites (plush toys, jewelry, shirts etc).

You have great environments, but environments alone can't convey that it's Amnesia specific. You could probably make money off of PewDiePie specific merch, such as a grunt and a " 'sup?

What happened to a plain old logo t-shirt? Amnesia: The Dark Descent is all it needs to say. Better yet a picture of the online cover art (with the rose). There's nothing ridiculous about that, and it really conveys the mood of the game perfectly. I would never buy a t-shirt with a picture of a grunt on it as it's incredibly stupid (the monsters are only really scary because they represent darkness and fear [which is why the retail cover sucks so much; no mystery at all, plus it's badly drawn]).

I would buy a shirt with the Amnesia cover with the rose on it.

Also, if you plan to sell these, would you sell them internationally?

Quote:i'm not saying that people wouldn't purchase anything penumbra-related (i know many people that would, including myself), it's just fairly obvious that the demand wouldn't be as high as it would be for, say, amnesia merchandise when juxtaposed against amnesia's popularity and fanbase. i don't expect them to overlook penumbra either, but it may effect the variety of the items offered, and i'd really hate to see that happen.
