The Fantastic Crayon, Profitability and Sales

It is with great displeasure as we announce the delay of The Fantastic Crayon. As Fruit Comics is a small company, and has very little employees (1, to be exact), it becomes difficult to produce work to the best of our ability on short time constraints.
In the future of Fruit Comics, we look to being able to grow the brand through sales of the first book and Paper and Games Merchandise. However, due to a lack in sales for the first book, it has become clear that something needs to be done before we head straight first into another book.

Paper and Games has made products for profitability before, such as the original line of Fruit Comics merch available on hismario123.com (before its closure) and The Little Pencil book on Amazon, but Paper and Games has never found an audience willing to purchase our products.

Paper and Games is looking to create products that people will enjoy that will be able to bring in money to our company, but this is only possible with your support.

Although Pencilified Studios has been looking to release their first game, The Journey through Microsoft, we haven’t heard anything from Microsoft after submitting the game over 3 weeks ago. Of course, this isn’t any fault of our own, but this does mean that will most likely release the game through our own means.

We’re currently looking into ways to release it, through GameJolt, itch.io and other platforms, as well as having a location to purchase it right from this website.

We understand the risks it takes to be able to build a company from the ground up, and we’re currently planning ways on promoting the brand as much as possible, but at this current point in time it is barely affordable to continue working on Fruit Comics’ A Pencilly Halloween, however we will still be releasing that, along with a Christmas Special focusing on Epic Apple.

On a personal note, Paper and Games means the world to me, I’ve put a lot of hard work into growing this brand, but I’ve just never been successful at all. I believe that with more hard work I will be able to really grow it into what I want it to be, but due to school and a “real job”, it becomes hard to find time to work on the company.

I really wish Paper and Games was in a profitable position so I can truly bring out the ideas that I have with this company, such as a focus on bringing other people’s creativity into the world, which we are starting with the Creativity Fund, but at this current point in time it is almost impossible.

I’m going to try and grow the brand on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, but we’ll see what happens, I guess.

Thank you for reading, and apologies for the bummer of a blog post.
