Full Torinyan Runa/Luna Assets List:

@C0-Eve I think this is the one of the best and professional answers anyone could give.
The cost of most well done VRC assets is in my opinion fair and justified, because if this was done for any other 3D industry, can easily net minimum few hundred to thousands of dollars for a newly created character on contracted work. The prices of VRC assets has mostly settled on where it is, because that is where affordability lies for most VRC users.
From inspiration and concept > block-out > modeling/UV unwrapping > texturing > shading > weight-painting and rigging > optimization > everything else in unity > testing > fine-tuning. I mostly do environmental 3D renders because I absolutely hate rigging and messing with game engines, so there may even be more work required that I am not fully aware of. Not to mention the considerations needed when selling to a certain target audience.
Balancing perfection and time hardly ever exist in this space. There has to be compromises in order to ensure that something is "finished". Its a tough pill to swallow but expectations needs to be set in place, especially for Torinyan's case, which is to consistently provide products for consumers to use.
So much respect to Torinyan and in regards to your question, my take is that you should not do regional pricing. While it is slightly unfair to some, as Steam has showed us, people have and will take advantage of this to buy at cheaper prices. Which is why some publishers outright ignore regional pricing, and charge the prices that they want.

@C0-Eve ooooh a torinyan furry femboy avi would be sweet. even a non-furry femboy would be great. Even if it's not you next avi maybe somewhere down the line. If they don't already, gumroad or booth should allow creators to make polls to get better feedback from customers/fans. That way if they want to make something a bit leftfield they can get i good idea if it's gonna be worth. Just someway to have better communication. I can understand booth because japs kind of have an old fashioned mentality. Gumroad should though, can't be that hard to implement in the year of our lord 2023. I suppose you could use twitter for that, but it might not be a good representative of your actual customers.

@C0-Eve Since a lot of your consumerbase is more used to female avatars/lewder stuff it might not be an easy switch to go for a fully male avatar, but an avatar that has the option to be made into male/male passing without blender work would be really nice in my opinion! It's really rare to find good genderfluid avatars, especially ones that aren't kitbashes. Of course it never hurts to do a change of pace, so it's really up to you what inspires you! The regional pricing sounds really sweet, shows how much you care and how kind you are, but even as someone who is from a country that would be eligible for lower prices, I'm afraid people would misuse your kindness with it... (ironic coming from this site, I know) For ideas maybe a Runa plushie or a chibi/ low poly version of her or just a low poly avatar in general? I think that would be really cute. Also a follower pet/cute accessory that suits the robot theme.

Hey, I went out and got a couple of assets, namely the Turtleneck sweater and H3E-L5. Links are below.
Sweater: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13nOyT9Z9XhulPESzciZSnLGMRKhknx75/view?usp=drive_link
H3E-L5: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M-_sO97E_HUYkD9YQqEReXi70U-e04Q9/view?usp=drive_linkI think these do require some Blender know-how, so if it is possible to make them ready, out-of-the-box, that'd be nice. Hope this helps!
