Due to high volume, orders may take 7-10 business days to ship. We launched the Fangamer Store in August 2008 with four products: two shirts, a pin set, and a mug. In 2010 we began working with small, independent groups like 2 Player Productions and Far From Subtle. We also secured our first booth at PAX East. In 2011 we expanded our partnerships with independent game developers and other small gaming companies while also expanding our workforce. In 2012 we moved to a larger office space and started fulfilling projects like the Double Fine Adventure and our own Retrowear Kickstarter . In 2013 we created partner stores for fan music master Mustin, the indie game FTL, our friends at Venus Patrol, and CAPY. In 2014 we licensed Papers, Please, Octodad, and Shovel Knight and successfully funded our You Are Now EarthBound Kickstarter project. In 2015 we ran a record-breaking Kickstarter project for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and hosted our very own convention: Camp Fangamer. In 2016 we launched our first UNDERTALE and Stardew Valley lines and our EarthBound Handbook , held our second Camp Fangamer, and purchased a building! In 2018 we launched our first Games Done Quick lineup, developed the Flip Grip , and hosted our third Camp Fangamer to celebrate our tenth anniversary. In 2019 we secured licenses for several more huge games we love, published more physical games, and renovated yet another building to be our new home. In 2020 we moved into our new office building, published physical editions of Stardew Valley , and began working with MAGFest. In 2022 we hosted the Spamton Sweepstakes and launched our lineup of Hades merchandise. In 2023 we published physical versions of TUNIC and Celeste . We also completed our YANEB Kickstarter project by releasing the EarthBound, USA documentary.

Fangamer LLC is an American video game merchandising company and game publisher based in Tucson, Arizona. Fangamer was originally spun out from Starmen.net, an EarthBound online forum. It operates an online store that sells licensed indie game merchandise items such as hats, pins, vinyl records, t-shirts and other products. In recent years the company has also begun publishing physical editions of independent video games.

== 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.
