7 Years of Moss and a Special Quest - Help Bring Quill Home!

Team Polyarc here,

It’s a special time of year for us at Polyarc—the anniversary of Moss! This marks 7 years(?!?) since Quill’s journey began. Can you believe it’s been that long since we first set out on this adventure? Moss has always been about connection, and we're beyond grateful for the love and support that has kept the bond with Quill strong.

This year, we’re making a long-time dream come true… the first-ever official Quill plushie! 🐭💚

For years, our community has asked for a way to bring Quill home, and honestly? SAME. But as a small studio, finding a way to make it happen was always a challenge—until now. Thanks to Makeship, we finally have a chance to turn this dream into reality.

The Quill plushie will only go into production if we reach our goal of at least 200 pledges during this limited 7-day campaign. A $2 refundable pledge secures your spot and helps us bring Quill to life! We also have some compelling perks for our early bird pre-orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the perks of early bird pre-orders? 

You help us make our dream of creating a Quill plushie a reality!! 

We will only go into production if we reach our goal of at least 200 pledges during this limited 7-day campaign. A $2 refundable pledge secures your spot and helps us bring Quill to life! 

🐤 We also have some compelling perks for our early bird pre-orders:

How much is it to pre-order a Quill plushie? 

  • We’re partnering with trusted plushie-creator Makeship, and like all their plushies, Quill will be priced at $29.99 USD.
  • Early birds only need to provide a $2 refundable deposit, and will be charged the remaining amount once the campaign meets its goal and we begin production! 

Do you ship to my country? 

  • Makeship can ship to most locations worldwide, the easiest way to check if a region is available is to add to cart and see if the country you're looking for is on the list in the shipping address section!

How big is the plushie?  

  • We're teaming up with Makeship to create this plushie so you can expect it to be around the same size as their standard plushies: around 20x11.5cm!

What if the goal isn’t reached? Do I lose my $2? 

  • Nope! The $2 deposit is totally refundable! 

I’m an early bird for pre-ordering a Quill plushie! Now what? 

  • Thank you so much! We are currently running a Petition Campaign, for early bird pre-orders.  You can help us reach our goal of 200 pledges by spreading the word to your friends, family, and to other VR communities on Discord, FB groups and Reddit. 📣
  • Look for an email from Makeship with a code to claim your exclusive Discord role!
  • If we meet our goal: 
    • Early birds will be granted a special Discord role as we share the design process and are invited to vote on some of the final design considerations! 
    • Once our design is finalized, we can launch our official Pre-Order Campaign!

How do I get my Discord role? 

  • First, make sure you have joined our official Discord! 
  • Look for an email from Makeship with a code to claim your exclusive Discord role
  • Once you have joined our Discord and have your code: 
    • Locate the bot “MJ23” at the top of the Discord member list.
    • Message MJ23 with the one-time use code you received. It will be a sixteen digit alphanumeric code that is not separated by dashes.
    • MJ23 will assign your role. That’s it! You’re all done!
    • Still confused? Not a problem! Check out this YouTube video how-to.

What’s the difference between a Petition Campaign and the Pre-Order Campaign? 

  • The first step is a Petition Campaign, which is similar but only requires a $2 deposit right now and acts as a pledge so we can start designing our Quill plushie. 
  • Then, we can launch our Pre-Order Campaign and showcase what the actual Quill plushie will look like. 
  • At this time we may also include community stretch goals so we can add extra goodies to everyone’s order! So even early birds will want to pay attention. 
  • The Pre-Order Campaign will span for 21 days and we’re aiming to launch it sometime this summer. (see: When will I actually receive my plushie? for details why)

When will I actually receive my plushie? 

  • We can’t promise an exact date, but we can estimate. 
  • The design process takes as long as it needs to until we (Polyarc + Early Birds) are happy! Typically this spans 1-3 months. 
  • Then, the Pre-Order Campaign launches and spans 21 days. 
  • Then, the actual production and distribution phase typically takes 3 months. 
  • With these estimates in mind, we feel confident to have Quill in hand and at home by Holiday 2025

How and when will I receive my Moss OST code for Steam?

  • If you are one of the first 200 early bird pre-orders, you will be receiving an email from Makeship with your Discord Role and digital Steam code to redeem your copy of the Moss Original Soundtrack.
