Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to buy a character?

The minimum purchase is $100 for one character. You can also purchase for more than $100, and your character image size will increase proportionally to the amount you pay.

What exactly am I buying?

When you 'buy' a character, you're not purchasing ownership of any part of the homepage or site. Instead, you're getting the right to submit an image and link. I'll create a pixel-style character representation based on your submitted image for display on the site.

Can I change my image or link after submitting?

Generally, no. You cannot change the image or link once submitted, so please be certain about what you want displayed on the homepage, which will remain for at least 5 years. The only exception is if you have a compelling reason for a change (like your site no longer exists, major structural changes, or legal issues).

Will I get a refund if I change my mind?

If your image and link are accepted and published on the homepage, no refunds will be provided. However, if your submission is rejected, you'll have the opportunity to provide an alternative, otherwise your payment will be refunded.

How long will the site stay online?

The site and homepage will remain online for at least 5 years (starting from launch day), meaning at least until July 17th, 2030, but possibly longer.

What kind of images and links are allowed?

No inappropriate, offensive, or adult content will be accepted. I have final say on what's appropriate for the characters. If your submission is rejected, you can provide an alternative or receive a refund. If your link is later changed to show inappropriate material, it will be removed until you provide a new one (no refunds for link downtime).

What are the technical requirements?

Images must be in JPEG or PNG format with reasonable file size and resolution. Links must be web pages only and begin with https://. You must have authority to provide the image and link for the website you submit.

Can I choose where my character appears on the site?

No, you cannot specify the location, composition, or pose of your character. Once I create your pixel character based on your submitted image, that will be your displayed character.

How long does it take to get my character online?

Payment must be fully received and cleared before your character goes live. Once ordered and payment clears, I aim to get your character online within 24-48 hours (please be patient if many people order at the same time).

Will there be any downtime?

There may be occasional downtime for site maintenance, but I'll keep these interruptions to a minimum.

Can I remove my character later?

Yes, if you want your character removed in the future, that's possible, but no refund will be provided.

About This Project

What is this?

This is a project that challenges reaching $1 million. With characters starting at $100, including larger sizes at $300 and $500, we'll reach the goal when approximately 5,000 characters are sold.

Why am I doing this?

To be honest, I don't have a clear reason - I'm doing this because "it seems fun somehow." I want to find out for myself whether this is "actually interesting or not." When I figure that out, I'll add more here. If you think what I'm doing "looks fun," you can participate by buying a character. Anyone can buy a character. I'll create a pixel character based on the image you send me. Characters come in various sizes, from normal to large.

Who are you?

I'm Kotaro, I'm quite old and live in Japan. I've been programming since I was little, creating games and apps.
