Animal Crossing: New Leaf trading cards

Okay he's in the IRC literally right now I posted the link, and as I'm typing this nothing is happening.

He may have just popped in to post his own news story he found.
 
Artists, don't forget to talk about a template to use! Once that gets in place, we can start in earnest.
 
Think some of you are getting a bit ahead of yourselves. Look, it's great that you're ambitious and want to do this, but you need to understand that it's not something where we can just snap our fingers so it's all implemented and working on the site. So to stop beating around the bush, no we're not going to be adding this to the site right now.

Trust me, we've thought of trading cards before and looked into it. It wouldn't work very well with the tools we currently have. I won't say never, nothing is ruled out forever. But certainly not next week. It could happen someday. But at this moment in time, none of us have the time or ambition really to put into developing a system for this into our current setup.

It's up to you as to what you want to do. You could keep designing the cards purely just for the fun if you want. Or try to build your own system for it on another website. But as Spamurai explained earlier, it's not as easy as you probably think it is.

Best of luck with whatever you decide to do,
Justin

It may not be easy. Heck, we knew it wasn't going to be easy. But since when has anything worthwhile been easy? Now that one option is nullified, we can put more resources toward our last option. Thank you for clearing that up, Justin!
 
XD

I agree with Justin. I think we should plan stuff, like the design of the cards, etc.

We're trying. Hopefully soon we can get a template that everyone is happy and comfortable with. Trust me, we're looking at the large picture as well as details.

We may not have a system nailed down, or a template, or much of anything, but we will. I promise you all, we will.
 
Well let's get all the artists who are currently helping to submit a template (if they chose) And then let's decide.
 
You guys said I could get him and I did :D :D :D

You rock, oath! I will never play the Elegy of Emptiness near you.

You have your template, right? If you could post it again (or maybe we should make a new thread), that would be great. I think I'll put a new thread up so that the templates are all in one place (or something; I'll let you know).

Hah, all right. Silversea, if you could send me your template, I'll put it up in a post.

Here is a filled in template.


And here is a blank one. greenbas3.png

I think a template would be the first of our troubles since the picture size has to matter. I'll try to see what I can do on photoshop to make a more official looking one.

Yeah, that's a big obstacle. Once the template is nailed, the artists can dedicate time to working on art. However, size of art might not matter quite as much as you think. If the digital artists work with vectored images, we can scale them pretty much any way we want. The initial proportions would still have to be correct, but scaling is workable.

These are our current template ideas.
 
Do you want to include the filled in one? Probably will look better since the others are filled in.
