[QUOTE="Chris, post: 191, member: 1"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="04ABCC16-E652-4BDF-B1AA-A86C4ABBF263.jpeg"]418[/ATTACH] [B]🗾Makuake campaign update!🗾[/B] Currently the campaign has raised US$311,670.16 (41,815,226 JPY) from 774 supporters. I’m genuinely surprised the uptake of Loona hasn’t been higher in a country touted as the world’s robotic pet capital. Perhaps robotic pets aren’t that popular in Japan outside of media articles stating so. The campaign still has 24 days to go, and a lot could change in that time considering how dynamic a company KEYi has demonstrated itself to be. [MEDIA=twitter]1648624346183639043[/MEDIA] [B]🌸Live Loona Demonstrations🌸[/B] KEYi Tech is holding live demonstrations of Loona at exhibitions in Japan where average people from the public can view Loona in person. Hopefully this approach will generate significant interest. [MEDIA=twitter]1647802262964834304[/MEDIA] [B]🇯🇵Japanese Loona Fan Meeting🇯🇵[/B] KEYi Tech have also announced they will be holding a Japanese fan meeting where fans can pick up an exclusive Loona T-shirt! Here are the details: ‘Let's meet Loona this spring! 2023.04.14 Hello Loona family . This is the Loona project management team. We have an announcement for you today. With the desire of the development team to "know more about Loona", we have decided to hold a special hands-on experience event for the Loona family! In this trial session, you can fully experience the charm of Loona, such as the developer answering your questions online, so that you can learn more about Loona. I would be happy if many people could actually experience and learn about Loona's realistic movements and secrets that make you smile! Anyone can make a reservation and come to the event, so please feel free to visit the venue! *Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis. Date and time (2 parts) April 27, 2023 (Thursday) 1st part 13:00-14:30 2nd part 15:00-16:30 * Scheduled to open and accept reception 15 minutes before each part Application URL [URL='https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en&client=webapp&u=https://loonaevent2023.peatix.com/']https://loonaevent2023.peatix.com/[/URL] *Applications will be closed at 12:00 noon on April 26 (Wednesday) for each division. ■ Participation benefits An original T-shirt with Loona's character design will be presented ■ Venue BIRTH LAB 〒106-0045 2-20-7 Azabujuban, Minato-ku, Tokyo Takagi Building 1st floor (1 minute walk from Azabujuban Station) [URL='https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en&client=webapp&u=https://birth-village.com/lab/']https://birth-village.com/lab/[/URL] ■Number of people : Up to 8 people per section (first-come, first-served basis) ■Participation fee : Free .

The designer also states they will be creating a tail. But at this stage says the design is just a personal project and not part of research and development of future colour designs. But who knows.
