I'd buy any bigass poster, if the poster is very atmospheric, has a bit dark'ish colouring and features anything nifflasy.

(Oh and Nifflas, you know how much I love your "funk.jpg" image with the round clouds and funky trees, turn that into a poster and I'd buy several pieces.)

I And then other fans will know they an talk to me about it,
However, the problem with that is that it will not happen. How many people you know (in real life) do you know that plays nifflas games? For me, at least, I bet No one in my city knows who nifflas is.

You just can't tell they do because they aren't wearing a cool Nifflas-related T-shirt, see?

I voted fo' Option Three.  While I think merchandise is a good idea, I doubt I'd actually buy any of it, and I think a lot of people feel the same way.
I'm sort of like that, but I think I might buy a t-shirt if it looked cool enough.

I...will...not...click...option...4...

I say yes, but no T-shirts or mugs or crap like that. Plushies only! D:
Edit: As long as Nifflas doesn't get the EA virus and become greedy. Imagine having to spend money to play Knytt Stories! Monthly subscriptions for playing Night Game? ONOEZ

Edit 2: I choose "Neutral". My philosophy is "the more money you get, the more money you want".

Can everyone stop making demands about not selling stuff?
Its like walking into a supermarket and telling them to stop selling cereal, because you like to eat toast for breakfast.
(if that metaphor makes any sense at all...)

[offtopic]I love toast! :awsum:[/offtopic]
Yeah, I agree. Unless the suggested negative result of selling merchandise affects everyone, like me saying he may start to get greedy (though I doubt that would happen).

Nifflas won't get greedy by selling a couple of t-shirts. Seriously.

As a grown up I need money to survive. It's not about any illusions about taking over the world or getting rich, I'm happy as long as I can afford a home, food, and in the future perhaps even enough money to buy a house or support children. Either I get a full time work and spend 8 hours per day getting the money I need for that - which means I'll have no time to work on game development - or I try to make money out of the game development so I don't have to spend all those 8 hours on something else.

I can't see a "the more money you get, the more money you want" aspect in this. I mean, how is this exclusive to people who are into creative stuff, you could say that about anyone having a normal work too, right? We all need money, but because I'm a game developer who want to sell stuff there's suddenly a major risk that I'll turn greedy and evil?

I voted Yay (it couldn't hurt at least) but I'm not interested in any items. Unless they are super awesome, which they may be...

But even so, I would much much prefer to just donate my money. That way I know you get most-if not all-of my money rather than the relatively small percentage you would receive from Merch alone.

The amount of enjoyment I received from your games, especially as a late-bloomer compared to most around here, I say you should open up your donation system again (perhaps give a small discount to Saira to those who donated?). As soon as I saw your site for the first time you had already closed the donations so I never had the chance.

I'm a college student, so money is tight but I would have no problems donating any reasonable amount.
