Created by Poayo's Universe

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Marz, Tammy, and Accessories unlocked!
4 months ago – Fri, Oct 10, 2025 at 05:56:02 PM

We are finishing off the day with nine total unlocks- the newest three seen below! This means we only have one unlock left until all of the romanceable characters (other than Sym) are unlocked, which is insane for the first day!! Thank you to the twenty of you who have pledged so far, I truly appreciate it. I have uploaded one of the two accessories- the doll shoes! You can now edit your pledges and find these in the add-ons if you would like them. For the hand-painted sportsballs, they are currently in progress and I would like to have photos of them available to you all first- so I will have them up tomorrow with a new update to let you know they are listed!


First six dolls and free sticker have been unlocked!
4 months ago – Fri, Oct 10, 2025 at 12:05:46 PM

We were able to unlock three new dolls each of the first two hours since the campaign has launched. This adds up to six which is amazing! We also unlocked every single backer getting the free Sol Campaign Sticker. This is far more than I expected even in the first full day so thank you very much to the fourteen backers currently making these dolls possible. I will be sending the unlocked designs to my manufacturer right away as the more progress made on them the sooner mass production can begin!

After pledging, you can edit your choices at any time until the campaign ends and you will not be charged until then. 
Thank you so much for following this project until launch, let's make these Exocolonist plushies real! 

3 Days left - Vote on Sol's Paw Embroidery
5 months ago – Tue, Oct 07, 2025 at 08:01:50 AM

Hello everyone! I hope October has treated you well so far.
With only 3 days left until launch there is limited time to secure your vote on which Exocolonist plush you are looking forward to most. The poll has been updated to include visuals of the doll designs rather than placeholders- have any of the design reveals changed your vote? This helps determine the Stretch Goal Unlock order so get your choice in asap!

Also determining Stretch Goal Unlocks is this poll. You can help decide where Sym will be on the map due to his increased price making it harder to get any dolls coming after him.
Additionally, Marz's embroidery poll is ending soon and has a pretty close amount of votes between two of the options, so if you plan on getting her make sure to get your vote in!

Today's new poll is on Solanacae's paw embroidery which you can vote on below. The options are pretty similar as they both use Sol's hair colors, but the paw pads have variation. Based on a previous vote, this choice will apply to all variations.

If you prefer, you can find all of these polls in the highlights section at the bottom of the Launch Party page.

Stretch Goal poll and Final Design Reveal - Sym
5 months ago – Mon, Oct 06, 2025 at 05:35:56 AM

Sym is the last one to have his design revealed as he will be created with a different manufacturer!

I went with a different manufacturer only for Sym as the one I am using for the others has limited skin colors available. This also allows for Sym to look a bit different from the other dolls which works in favor of having him feel more alien. However, he will cost a decent amount more to create than the other dolls.

As he is popular, this causes the conundrum of where in the stretch goals he should be placed. Ideally he would be unlocked sooner due to more people wanting him- however his personal higher cost makes his unlock higher and therefore would make unlocking what comes after him a harder to reach goal.

The general stretch goal map plan is: 
  • Most to least popular characters
  • Least popular Sol variants (M/F)
  • Community Choice Side Character
Vote below on where you think Symbiosis should be!
