We’re back from our holiday break and excited to show today’s developer log! ## Birb Plush Campaign Started! [![](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/ff3846d65ce1b7061881727bb446875001f115fe.png) ](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/ff3846d65ce1b7061881727bb446875001f115fe.png) Birb’s got it all: the power to stun dragons, an all-you-can-eat arcade game, a statue, the adoration of the people, and, now, a plushie! Bring home Birb and feel great safety if a dragon ever decides to try and start something. Birb has it handled. You just provide the birdseed. (And hugs.) The campaign will be up for a limited time (21 days), so check out the store page to see how it all works and get one for yourself! These limited time plushies go directly towards supporting our developers and the development of Tower Unite! We hope you enjoy the Birb plushie! Any support you give us means so much, and we hope to keep bringing you more fun in the future!

The downside observed is the game takes up space on disk. @Sketchman continued working on optimizations and bug fixes. @Wheezwer worked on getting the Birb Makeship campaign underway. ## That’s a Wrap!

I am so excited for those new items 🤑 Question about the new player models, Will the male/female clothing be and option for both the genders or just gender specific? Personally I would love to be a woman and wear a suit with pants. ---
