Animal Crossing: New Leaf trading cards

[kittenrobotarmy]

Yes, artists can design and create their own series. Series' by Blues and I are very rare {meaning we won't do much of them, if not none} so different artists with different series make it unique.

 

[BellGreen]

I'll definitely not be a designer considering my ugly drawings and even with using pictures it won't look nice lol.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Lol. I'm going to do some tampering around and create a template, wish me luck.

 

[Blues]

My concerns are that, if we don't have a set list of characters we want to get done, we'll end up with seven Julian cards, etc. Not that that's bad, but say we wanted to get Cally in there. I don't think we'd be able to get someone to do her without assignments.

I think that we should have a standard series/numbering system. If artists start making their own series, I fear it'll get really confusing. I don't want to stifle creativity, but I think it should be standardized to minimize confusion.

I see the series as sets. So, all the cards released in between now and December are one set, then those are numbered or whatever according to rarity. Kind of like they do with Pokemon cards, actually.

So the card designs can look different, right? If they all looked the same they would be a bit boring.

I bet Stitches and Julian will be rarest.

This is actually what I was wondering. This 'season' could be called New Leaf: Fall & Winter 2013.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

That's a really simple card. I think Blues and I, since we will rarely will create the cards, can get our own mini series within the series of the season.

Blues, perhaps the cost of doing Julian is finishing at least 20 non-favourite villager cards, multiplied by 2 for each Julian card in existence ^^.

Kippla, if I may, could you use text that doesn't blend in so much. I'd personally recommend not using such different colours. Dark green and grey don't go well together :c (but it's up to you how you go about it or if you even listen to me, haha).

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Told you, just a prototype. I won't be so idiotic with other cards. Since you guys are the artists, and we're the developers, Blues and I will make a list of villagers.

 

[Dandie]

I was just trading Pokemon cards with my little brother and sister.
They don't know which ones are rare, and I take advantage of that.

 

[Silversea]

Pokemon cards don't have rarity assigned to them, but they do have the set type listed and the number of the card in most cases. Of course the shininess is often a good indicator too.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

See, look at Pokemon cards design. Unless you copy paste a smaller image of the animal into a smaller box, it will be slightly difficult to try and make it like Pokemon's format.

 

[Farobi]

OMG AHH I CANT WAIT FOR THIS!

If you guys can estimate, when will these cards be officially released to the public?

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Depends on how fast we make them and how we will distribute them. If you can convince Jubs/Jeremy to make them a collectable, well, be my guest. Distribution is a difficult thing right now, we can't work around it with physical versions.

 

[Silversea]

I'm going to guess that its too early to say. I also wonder how practical it would be to have physical cards that can be sent to other users in real life? We'll find out I guess.

I vote for an on-site gallery of sorts. Each user will have a gallery and the cards are collected digitally.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Blues and I can't mail them without giving away addresses. So, it's easier to distribute them among friends who also enjoy Animal Crossing.

 

[BellGreen]

So I can't be a developer/helper? :c I want to help sorting out rareness.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Yes, you can. You can distribute them, and rarities will go through Blue and I before we approve them for the artists.

Do you have any way we can mail them without giving away addresses?

 

[Silversea]

Any comments on the digital gallery idea I stated above?

 

[BellGreen]

Yes, you can. You can distribute them, and rarities will go through Blue and I before we approve them for the artists.

If you were to get is so popular you could set up an online store. But how MUCH ink would you have to buy? How much printers? How much shipping do you have to buy? It's best off getting it more popular.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Yes, we approve of the idea. But we have no way to make sure players will give/delete cards from their galleries, unless they become an item.
