Hey, guys! Just wanted to remind everyone that the re-launch is tomorrow! The re-launch will be tomorrow, Wednesday, June 24th, at 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time. I really hope to see all of you there! I want to thank everyone who's given me a lot of constructive criticism over the span of creating this deck. It's really truly helped!
Here's the preview link to the re-launch page if you guys would like to look it over again:

Who's the printer? They look nice. Yet, like chas0039 said, it's an extremely low goal for a deck project.

Hey guys! So I've been hard at work on this relaunch and I've come up with a date! We'll be relaunching on Wednesday, June 24th! Let everybody know, and be sure to support us as much as possible when it's up! I'll be posting back when it's live.

Hey, guys! So I've been working on some new pips for the indices on the cards. I've gone with a bit more of a standard look. You'll see them below. Let me know what you think!

Man, that seriously means a lot! I think I'm going to end up changing the pips in the indices. You all have very valid points about them not working, so I will do away with them. Thanks so much for the compliments! And I'll definitely post the relaunch on this forum when it's up and running! I'm expecting a relaunch date by early June. I'll keep you guys updated.

Regards,
Travis

You've got a very valid point. Also, regarding the funding goal, I'm dropping it significantly from 18,000 once I re-launch. My original decision to launch w12th 18k goal was solely based on getting profit, which I'm no longer worried. I'm now just focused on getting the cards out there. I'll also be having LPCC fulfill my orders, which will keep from the decks arriving late haha.
I learned a lot from having the project fail, and I've also learned a lot from all of you who give awesome feedback. So thanks, guys. It helps a ton to hear what you all have to say.

Regards,
Travis

Thanks for the comment. I'll look into simplifying the indices. However, I've stayed in contact with my backers from the original kickstarter campaign and they seem to like the indices the way they currently are. Personally, I can distinguish which suit is which quite easily. And that's not just because I've seen and recognized them during this time I've spent designing this deck. I'll definitely look into it though.
Also, I've been working on some custom Aces, guys! Here they are below:

Thanks so much!
Yeah, everyone either seems to like the half pip still being there or dislike it. I'll continue to look into it. Thanks for your comment!

Hey, guys! I apologize for not responding in a while.
 
So I've finished up all the new number cards. The old number cards seemed a bit random. The pips just looked a bit randomly placed, so I've created a more uniform pip layout.
You'll see a sample of the number cards below:
Let me know what you guys think of those!

Also, I've been working on the design for the joker.
You will see the design I've come up with for the joker below:

The 'faceless' theme continues onto the joker as he has no face, so he is deciding which mask/personality he is going to put on.
Please let me know what you all think of these designs, thanks!

Regards,
Travis

Hey, guys. So I've basically finished up the tuck design. It's looking a lot nicer than the original. I'm honestly much much much more satisfied with this design rather than the original. I've also finished up the card back. I've posted them both below.
Thoughts?

Don - Yeah I've felt that question mark has looked a bit off for a while. I'll get rid of it and see how it looks. Also, regarding the card back, I'm going to go back in there and fade out the inside of that diamond more so it's not purposely standing out from the rest of the back. Thanks for your input!

Hey, guys. Thanks for the feedback! I tweaked the card back a bit; mainly the middle. I felt that the back design didn't have anything at all to do with the theme. So the back design below is what I came up with. I've also been hard at work with the new tuck box. I also felt that the tuck didn't really have much to do with the theme. Please let me know what you guys think!

Hey, guys. Thanks for all your input! So I've recently been working on a new back design. I felt that the original back was a bit too straight. All straight up and down lines and such. So I decided to get some curvature in there. I don't believe it's completely finished yet. But it's a concept so far. Let me know what you think!

Hey guys. Thanks for your comments, and also thanks for welcoming me to PCF.
So first off, I'm actually quite new to graphic design. This my very first big graphic designing project and I've been learning as I go. I've gotten a pretty good understanding of what I'm doing in the past few months. So I can understand why you guys think the designs look a bit unfinished.

Inferus - So I realize that when you Google Translate 'Inferus,' it does not come up as 'faceless.' This is quite strange because when I translated it a WHILE ago, it translated correctly. As did the quote, "Faceless, there is little left to judge." So I'm not too sure as to why it's not translating correctly now. But I've attached a screenshot of a search I found on the translation. 'Inferus' does, in fact, translate to 'faceless.' We've, however, been discussing new deck names so we'll figure out what's going on there.

Pips - As far as the pips, you two are really the only ones who've said they dislike the pips. Everyone else seems to really love them. They say that's the best aspect of the deck. I do not find them very difficult to read and neither have anyone who's backed the Kickstarter. I also have a forum on UC, and no one has said anything negative about them there either. Only positive things.

Back Design - We will end up tweaking the back design a bunch and give it a more interesting look. We will most likely get rid of the initials and also a few other things that seem to be unnecessary.

Tuck Box - This is mostly where my inexperience in graphic design has come into play, haha. I was still learning a lot while creating this tuck, so I'm definitely gonna go back in there and fix a lot up.

Courts - So this where most of the 'faceless' aspect of the deck comes into play. I understand that this 'faceless' design on the courts has been used before, but I don't believe it's been a theme for a deck before. Majority of the backers seem to enjoy them. I just don't have them all finished quite yet.

LPCC - Yes, we are using LPCC for manufacturing. I had not even thought about including what finish we'll be using, so I'm glad you said that, Holy. We'll most likely end up using their Classic Finish. Also, we decided that we were going to fulfill the orders ourselves because, as you may know, having LPCC fulfill our orders for us can get extremely expensive. And also, with those projects that do have the company fulfill their orders, they most likely already have the shipping costs included in the reward tier. For example, a One Deck Reward Tier will cost you about $15/$16 with "free shipping." Then you go to another project in which the creator is fulfilling the orders themselves and you'll go to the One Deck Reward Tier and it'll be $11/$12 plus around $5-$7 for shipping (international.) You're paying around the same either way.

I want to thank you guys for your input and welcoming! I will definitely improve on a few of these things.

Regards,
Travis

Hey, guys. So this is my first post on PCF! I'd like to get a little input on the deck I'm currently designing. 'Inferus' in Latin means 'faceless.' Therefore, all of the courts have been stripped of their faces.
 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1706628143/inferus-playing-cards#
It's currently funding on Kickstarter. As you can see, it's not doing so well. That's why I'm here. I'd like to have everyone's opinion on what I should improve upon. I don't think this project has a high chance of succeeding, so I plan on relaunching but I believe I should fix a number of things. So I need your help and guidance on what those things are. Here's a few designs below. Please take a look at the designs I've put on Kickstarter as well and let me know what you all think!

Regards,
Travis
