Playing Card Plethora / Re: 4 Thrones Kickstarter (6 hours left)

Thanks for the compliment!! The white deck is my super fav too.

I know you're not thrilled about getting all three decks, but I can say, mixing the black and white deck together ... it's simply gorgeous, so you would be able to do that at the $40 level.

Thanks again so much for the feedback :D

Less than 4 hours to go!

Less than 6 hours left on these ultra minimalist decks. Check images of the proof decks below!

Stop by www.4Thrones.com to check out the Kickstarter and see more photos and vids :)

Oh, I should also mention that the iOS version of the game the cards are inspired from is free until the end of the Kickstarter, so you can see the game in action.

You can grab a copy here.

Thanks!

kurtbieg - You have to grow some thick skin.  Your not going to please everyone.  Your Kickstarter looks pretty good and your cards are functional.  I don't anything majorly wrong.  Your just in a small market, but there are people who like minimalistic cards.

Thanks for the feedback on the KS, you're right on, gotta have thick skin, it's sometimes the only thing that can keep you going :) You're right about not making everyone happy too, that's something that can end up ruining a completely great project.

I checked yours out, nice layout, and interesting to learn about the Ace and additional courts. Never heard of that.

Hi All,

I'm new here and excited to connect with the community!

I started a Kickstarter last week to fund a unique project to print custom decks based off an original digital solitaire game I made in August called 4 Thrones.

The project is for three decks in total: the unique solitaire game deck, then 2 custom standard playing card decks based on themes from the digital game (all black, and all white).

If you get a chance, I'd love to have you all take a look and pass on some feedback.

Thanks so much!

Great info, and thanks for the warm welcome!

I'll be sure to post to the deck to the Design & Development board! That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for :)

All the best!

Whoa ... just read your intro. What is going on over there?

Un. Real.

I'm glad you left and sorry to hear about the drama. It's helpful to hear that my experience wasn't by itself. I tried three times to post to that thread, even asking the moderator for advice (that's when my IP was banned), thanking everyone for their feedback. Well, some good came out of it. I made changes to the standard playing card decks (adding suit and value to the bottom right corner) and redesigned it from the ground up to be more explanatory based on feedback in that thread.

Geez, that place is crazy town.

Well. Great to finally talk to you, and thanks for posting my Kickstarter to the thread. Too bad most of those guys immaturely trashed my design. Oh, well, focus on the positive. This is an open community and I'm really excited to connect with a new enthusiasts.

Hi!

My name is Kurt Bieg, I'm from America, living in New York City. I'm introducing myself to the forum because I was banned immediately from United Cardists without ever even posting a single reply (I was trying to talk to some of the members that were making fun of designs and make changes based on their feedback). When I started to Google the IP ban I found this much more accepting and happy community and wanted to join and introduce myself.

I've been making digital games for about 4 years and recently made an original solitaire variant called 4 Thrones. People liked it so much that they asked me if I would consider making physical card decks of the ones in the game. So I jumped in head first into making a custom printed decks :)

I'm happy I did too, it's super exciting to see all these amazing new designs and decks, hopefully one day I'll be mega rich, and I'll buy all of them!

Anyway, I know some other people on here experienced the same treatment from UC, and I wanted to thank you guys for being non-exclusive and welcoming.

If you get a chance, let me know what you think of the decks on the Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/simplemachine/4-thrones-playing-cards

Oh, and if you were wondering, this was the thread I was banned from :( Kills me I can't even say a single word to them.
