Animal Crossing: New Leaf trading cards

[kittenrobotarmy]

News: We're working on the templates and we are trying to figure out how to distribute these cards. If you have an idea, please PM me or Blues. Artists: size is 150 x 200.


I made a thread about this in the General AC board, but since this mainly focuses on NL, I'll put it here now.

As we all know, E-reader cards were released back when Population Growing was new. However, they are hard to come by now and no cards have been released ever since. I think, as a member of this large community, we should put together our efforts and create ACNL trading cards!

They'll probably be digital to start out since it would be terribly stupid to try and mail physical versions to each other {hence, giving out your home address which is stupid} but Blues {my partner on this} and I are working on a way to try and move around this. So, who wants to help?

We need designers and distributors!

 

[BellGreen]

I would love to help out as a distributor! However, how would this work out? Is there like a system?
And before you really start anything you need to make it have attention, so maybe try that.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Blues and I know. We're working on the distributing, but I VMed Jubs about making them collectables, although that isn't a sure thing. We can try and make a system with that.

 

[Dandie]

The link in the other thread you made.
This one has some cards I drew.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I know you're good, Melody. Blues was thinking about contacting some other artists on TBT to help out. We'll just have to try and figure out how to really distribute them.

Okay. Hm...

When I click the link, it always gives me a white screen.

That's weird. It works fine for me.

I'll try a different browser.

Oh, I see them on Google Chrome now. They're really good!

 

[Blues]

Just putting in my two cents here.

Our idea is that, if using them as collectables on here doesn't work, we'll use Kickstarter to fund printing and what-not. Before that, we'd hopefully have a trading plan in place so that people can trade without having to give addresses (not sure how that's going to work). Anyway, we'd love support. I'll be contacting some of TBT's artists to see if they'd like to help, but we'll need lots of help (what with more than 300 characters).

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we'll be trying to make cards for as many ACNL characters as possible. We may even make uber-rare cards of removed GCN villagers. *hint hint*

Like Boots!

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Shhh. We'll discuss the project carefully with our designers. If we get Nintendo's permission we can use the official images for trading cards.

I formally retract my earlier statement. I cannot confirm nor deny that Boots will be represented in any way, shape, or form.

My take on possible "sets". Just random ideas I have right now.

-Regular cards (perhaps multiple regular cards per character for variation; different styles or different poses).
-Silver cards (bit rarer).
-Festival cards (only for some characters, like a christmas card with snow).
-Birthday cards (only released on the character's birthday).

-Special cards (perhaps show scenes, like 2 or 3 characters playing in snow for Christmas).


Are we limited to villagers? Almost wonder if we had flower, bug/fish and special character cards... So many possibilities.

I'd like to include special characters like Sable, Tom Nook, and Franklin as well, but we'll see what happens.

The festival cards would be only available during that holiday

and each year can be a different 'series'. I'm going to go on photoshop and make series one because this sounds like so much fun to make ^_^

Just so you know, before you get all gung-ho, I'm trying to figure out the particular legal ramifications of our idea.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Yup. Nintendo has rights to frame us for using their content with no permission. We've emailed them about permission, so just hold off while we wait for their response.

 

[Blues]

All right! After talking to my 'legal adviser,' I've determined that we are in the clear. We are not making money off of this, and we're not cutting into an existing product. If Nintendo notices and does something, we'll back down. Until then, we're just fine to go full speed ahead.
