@The_Bogfather hosted his daily Twitter Spaces, and it was a fun one! 
@Jimmy14624495 joined in and seemed like a natural antagonist to the Pudgy Penguins. He was in full character, and everyone had fun interacting with him. Luca even said he might become a character in the Pudgy Penguin story.

Luca joined and shared juicy details of the questions the team is wrestling with regarding storytelling and merch.

• In what world do the Pudgy Penguins live? Is it another world, or is it something similar to a cartoon version of the Antarctic where the Penguins go to work and have lives but still waddle around?

  • Luca said, “The world is so important, same with languages.” Luca also said there would be “hero” characters (5 reoccurring penguin characters in the story). He also mentioned the possibility of community voting and “love/touch points.”

• For the 1st run of toys, Luca has to decide where to market them, the boy or girl toy section.

• Luca said, “it’s going to be a Penguin Winter.”
