A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

Each 10” Oddworld plush comes with a collectible character tag. These tags are made of soft, flexible PVC plastic and are sculpted with details that make each design pop with life. Leave them on your plush, hang them on your wall, or add them to your keychain! See the preliminary designs above.

These are some of our stretch goals if we are able to surpass our campaign goal.

THE CHARACTERS

Hailing from a third world meat factory, Abe is proclaimed by his species as the Messiah of the Mudokons. This title was bestowed upon him after his repeated successful liberations of many species from oppressed working conditions. Through his adventures, he has always shown a good heart and eagerness to help others despite being clumsy to a fault. The skin of his race have the attribute of reflecting the color of their inner mood. It is because of this trait, that Abe is a distinct shade of blue which symbolizes his sadness for his race.

Latamire Munch, or Munch for short is the last known Gabbit on Oddworld. Gabbits are amphibious creatures who used to inhabit the waters of Oddworld. His species was harvested into near extinction for experiments, medical resource, and as a delicacy. Upon hearing about the last can of Gabbiar, Munch strives through a rigorous plan with the help of Abe to steal the gabbit eggs back. With his race on the line, Munch shows more determination on the mission which sometimes makes him seem less compassionate of others. However, he is known as a Freedom Fighter by the Fuzzles he liberates while in captivity.
