History
History
Starmen.net, an online forum, began selling T-shirts and mugs in 2007 as a way to pay for the server costs of the site. One of the creators of the site stated, "Well, the ads weren't paying the bills, so we thought, 'What if we took the kinda-crappy print-on-demand stuff we're making on CafePress, and we did it at a much higher-quality?'". The next year, Fangamer was launched with an initial offering of "two t-shirts, a pin set, and a mug" based on EarthBound. After the success of this initial run of merchandise, Fangamer started to expand into creating items for other games such as Ace Attorney and Chrono Trigger. To avoid infringement of the various video game properties they were creating items for at the time, the site avoided using designs with any copyrighted symbols. Fangamer also produced physical copies of Starmen.net's unofficial player's guide for Mother 3. Since 2010, Fangamer have been attending events like PAX, and holds regular "Camp Fangamer". For the 2015 Camp Fangamer, they had a custom arcade version of Earthbound that randomizes enemy names, stats, items, NPC sprites. The arcade version was played and streamed all weekend long, with proceeds going to charity. In the mid-2010's Fangamer became known as a fulfillment partner for video game Kickstarters, providing merchandise for the campaigns of games such as Broken Age and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. After partnering with Toby Fox to create merchandise for Undertale, the site experienced a higher number of sales, with a cofounder saying "I thought there was a glitch in Shopify... Undertale had become just an incredible phenomenon.” This success allowed Fangamer to expand into acquiring licenses for other video game proprieties, going on to create merchandise for games such as Hollow Knight and Banjo-Kazooie.
