Please make Goodbye better with a merch store?
I know it seems like an odd time, but any kind of glitch real world merchandise to remember what was a home to us for so long would be amazing. You guys could take the profit you get from it and spread it around to all of your employees as a parting gift or just to help them while they try to find a new job.
Even just tshirts from one of those internet stores anyone can make, or stickers, or postcards. Anything. I know that tons of people would order. Right guys?

T-shirts, beer huggies, snuggys for cold nights and thongs.
I'd wear a thong ....a LOT. And yes ima boy elf. - Plans are afoot.
- Oooo! I hope they will soon be in my hand too!
- REAL BADGES!!
- ++
- REAL MR. FUN PICKLE!!
- Squeezing Chickens and Juju shirts... please.
- Anything crab. And plush butlers :)
- Oh man, yes. This. I would so buy something!

stoot doll for us to hugglewugglewoo.

I know I've been saying this everywhere from Facebook to Twitter to here, but:
Custom figurines of our Glitch characters! -
Darkwoof, how we would all love little figurines. However, things like that take a lot of startup money to get the models made to pour the resin/whatever in to. Since there were (as far as we knew) no plans for merch yet, I proposed the idea of simple printable objects, so that they could just start a shop on a free, commission-based print shop to get us things like tshirts or postcards or keyrings or anything an image can be printed on :)
Crayola air-dry modeling clay costs $2.50 at Walmart here, maybe you could try your hand at making one yourself! It wouldn't be perfect, but it would certainly be special. I was going to make myself a Defect Cubimal and possibly an animal or two, since a whole Glitch is probably above my skill level ;)
Stoot, that is awesome and I feel joy coursing through my whole self that plans are afoot. The closing is the saddest thing in the whole world right now, and having a tiny piece or Ur to hold would be magical. - I need a soundtrack! Love the music of Glitch (and I know there's more than just the stuff available for free).
- Yes, please. The least we can do is contribute to a "Get the Devs Beer/Coffee Fund" as they prep for future endeavors.

@Darkwolf
isn't there a company that does that for WOW characters? I wonder if they might be amenable - I'd buy the hell out of everything.
- ooh a glitchmas yeti!!!! i could finally own one in rl!
- Actual wallpaper. so i can cover the real world with Glitch's art
-
Oooh, wall decals for us renters!
I would SO put a Magic Rock right above my bedside table.
And ones with the firebog decorations would be so cute.
Oh man, I really want those now. I tried not to think too hard about specific ideas so I wouldn't be overwhelmed with need. - Anything really, prints, mugs, t-shirt, artbook... sniff.
- Anything at all would be appreciated. :D
- I'd totally have my whole fridge covered by Glitch assets, sprites... an Uralia floor, Rube, smuggler, Uralia mushrooms on the side, Sno Cone vendor on the freezer's door, etc. (just a bit scared of the shipping fees).
- Oooooh! I like where this conversation is headed. :)

Cubimal Plushies
Giants Artwork
Set of Mini Icons (so we can still do our tithing when necessary)
GNG Plush (with press-activated music box inside)
Giants Knit Hats - +1 to Squeezing Chickens (aka chicken-shaped stress balls!)

I'm really sad to see Glitch go. :'(
I'd definitely buy some merchandise. I'd love to see an art book like other people have suggested.
I also have about 20 blue and 30 white Glitch stickers left from GlitchMarket.com. I'd be willing to send them out to anyone that is interested. You can see them here:
White:
glitchmarket.com/white-glit...
Blue:
glitchmarket.com/glitch-gam...
You don't have to donate, just send me a private message on here or email me at paypal@glitchmarket.com with your address and I'll mail one to you.
<3 Glitch
:'( - I'd love a few shirts/hats/hoodie/socks/bathrobes all Glitchified. I'd also very much appreciate access to the music for listening and the sound effects for ring/text tones.
- I second the music idea. The music is haunting and beautiful.
- does this mean my *snit* will soon be over?
-
All i want is my snow cone vender cubimal
that's all I'll will need to remember every thing that ever was glitch
thanks you for making glitch
it was the best game ever
i'll miss it
but just thank you - +1 for this idea
-
Cubi plushies would be f**king amazing.
I would buy the crap out of a Rook plushie, just to remind me of the fun I had teleporting others to battle! - Holytoast, that would be fantastic.
- Ooh, I would love the music for all of the musicboxes. As well as some merch! :-)
- I would also pay for some high resolution images so I can make transfers for an embroidery project I have in mind.
- +1 for the rook plushie!
- I can't wait until I am cuddling a plush butler!!!!

I'd really like a downloadable (pdf?) Encyclopedia with nice high-res pictures of the items in the game. Failing that, a downloadable achievements "book" with high-res pictures of all of the badges, maybe along with their schpiel that pops up when you earn it.
Music... plushies (cubis!!!!) ... I'm down with all of the things I've seen listed here... - Oh heck yeah! I was just going to post that I would totally BUY figurines but I knew I had to search the forum first. Oh please let this happen. PLEASE. PLUSHIES AND FIGURINES. Maybe a specially priced or gift box of it all for subscribers and long time active users? I love the Downloadable Encyclopedia Idea Zana had. AND How 'bout giving the source code over to some willing and DEVOTED developers lol
- Plushes would be absolutely fantastic, this needs to happen.
- COFFEE MUGS

I'm an apprentice silversmith and do lost-wax casting on a small scale. I'd like to know TS' take on small artisans producing small-batch merchandise and the copyright issues involved.
Even though Etsy is chock-full of all sorts of blatant copyright violations (Disney is what first comes to mind), that sort of thing is not for me; it doesn't feel right and it isn't the Glitch way as it were. Please note I'm not judging anyone else who chooses to proceed without permission; I'm just operating from my own comfort zone.
Still, I'd like to do a series of silver charms; emblems at least, and offer them for sale on Etsy. I'm a hobbyist and can't afford to pay licensing fees as I would never produce the volume that would make such a thing doable, not to mention the outrageous cost of silver these days. I see a lot of interest from other artisans who work with various media. It would be wonderful to support small craftspeople and give the Glitch community something to remember the game by in RL at the same time. - Go Gail! That sounds wonderful!
- A glitch encyclopedia would be so cool
- Oh mai ^^^
-
Gail,
I'd love to see your silver charms, Would you consider making a sloth? Or a yeti? (That is, if it's OK with TS) -
Oh, @Gail, I would love to have a silver emblem charm of Humbaba (or any giant)!
Please keep us posted on how this is going. -
Gail, people have been emailing to check to see if specific projects would be allowed by Tiny Speck, and I have not heard a rejection story yet!
They probably won't read this so you should probably email with a sample photo of what you do, and see :) -
Kukubee is on it. www.etsy.com/shop/kukubee
There are also pictures of felt cubimal parts, what will probably be pendants, and gorgeous Glitch prints on their facebook stream.
