This looks real good. I'm liking that QoH, looks well sweet. Can't wait to see more of this.
-
Very interesting. Any pics of the back design?

*fingers crossed*
Please don't be a one way back...

Box art (Back design?) looks pretty nice.
But, if it is the back, it's one-way. Look at the map and the extra pips placed in the center.
At least it's subtle.

About as subtle as a dentist removing teeth with a sledgehammer... I can spot that pretty fast - only the much less observant will miss that one-way pattern. You shouldn't overestimate a spectator, but you shouldn't underestimate them either! Many of them would spot it quickly enough.
-
If he wants to do it that way with a "one-way" back he should make the suits smaller and pull them into the center to make it less obvious. You have to remember what your going to be looking at when your playing an opponent. You might see a bunch of Harts and Diamonds peeking from the side....

Oh, I meant subtle in comparison to the full-on one way decks.
Like the Karnival Dose.

I really really like this deck. It's launching this week, according the the Facebook page. :D

Kickstarter is making me bankrupt. There are way too many decks recently. I love this one too haha but looks like a no go for the time being. I have to start picking my poison

Oh, well - THAT deck's back being anything remotely other than one-way is as subtle as that same dentist switching to a root canal by wrecking ball... :))
Honestly, though - while it won't be a poker players first choice and some magicians will shy away from it, a one-way back isn't always the end of the world. If it was, the Congress brand would have died out decades ago. I'm not sure they do anything other than one-way backs anymore! A beautiful deck is still a beautiful deck regardless of the number of "ways" on the back.
-
I wish deck makers would start designing 5 way backs.
Or maybe if one of the Cthulhu decks could have a non-Euclidean back....
That being said I am pretty fond of this deck. My card group has never worried too much about one way backs. They care much more about the recognizability (is that a word) of the faces, so for the most part they prefer me to stay with "traditional" faces. So this deck would be purely for my collection.
-

couldn't agree more, though i'm curious how the "36 illustrated tales" work into a 52 card deck..

He did mention earlier that it's 36 individual illustrations, with some being repeated.

We are definitely listening to everything people are saying is regard to our 'Seven Seas' deck. This is a new endeavor for us and can't thank everyone enough for the input we are receiving. We have decided to delay the launch for another week, so we can properly address a few of these suggestions. This is such a great community to be a part of, so thank you!

All court cards are unique illustrations and the rank cards are duplicates. HOWEVER, if we reach a stretch goal (TBD) we will create the deck with 54 unique illustrations each and more tales. So if the community backs this the way they are now, we will be able to illustrate more in parallel to the campaign run time. Thanks to all!

FYI- We planned on this week for a launch. However, we feel it is in our best interest(and the decks best) we polish a few more this up before releasing to public. I will be posting up exact date. We got some pretty exciting things planned for early supporters of this project. Fan our page and keep in touch! Thanks for the kind words!
I really really like this deck. It's launching this week, according the the Facebook page. :D
-
It's good to hear that your court cards are going to be unique. It seems the big dogs today are skimping on that. People expect more and should expect more uniqueness. I kind of see where you are going with your theme. Maybe with the pips you could design a bigger ship with each pip. That would be cool. To take it a step farther, one cannon for each pip increase. Just remember the top left of your back card is the most important. It is what people are going to see the most. Try to make a digital drawing of your fan....
Edit: Also give us a preview link of your Kickstarter. I like to look at the rewards and we can check for errors. You don't want to sell "God certificate decks" when you meant to say "Gold certificate decks" like Jackson did. Sorry Jackson for using you as an example. Everyone makes mistakes. You just need a lot of eyes to look things over.
-
"36 unique illustrations, let me guess,
4 aces, 9 red numbers, 9 blue/black numbers, 12 courts, 2 jokers. Only way this makes sense =D" A quote said by Volantangel on BrainVessel's introduction page. I saw it before and figured I should show credit where credit was due.
-
Yeah. We are polishing up a few things before sharing the link. We are taking into consideration a lot of suggestions being made without taking away from our original vision. We will definitely keep everyone in the loop as we prepare to launch from the dock. :)
Thanks you.

Hello all. As we mentioned on previous threads, WE ARE LISTENING. Now we would like to get your overall opinions about the 2 alternative design of the back. Thanks for everyones input. (Event the texture and the map is reversed, now it comes down to preference of design!) Pips or no pips...that is thy question?

-
I personally like "2-way" 1. The suits seem to be a distraction. Another Idea, you could have the pips and put two little ships sailing around the pips to make it "2-way". Make a little story with the ships. Maybe, you could have the little ships fire cannon balls at each other. Or you could substitute one of the pips for the ships. Or make the pip and build the ship around the pip. Or make the pips into like a background treasure map something like the Global Unrest guy. Notice the little bombers. You have so many options.
-
I agree with sprouts, two-way 1 is better. Many deck designers seems to have this urge to incorporate the suit symbols in the back design. It's not a bad thing per se, but it's been done many times before. And the suits ARE on the faces after all, so it is kinda overkill.
Nice work on this btw, it's simple and has many of the elements that (IMO) makes an attractive back design (center piece, faded background, corner pieces, no "hard" borders). Though the lines along the long edges seem a bit out of place, once you find out which one of these you're going with I would make another side-by-side comparison with and without those lines. Or maybe replace them with something that doesn't seem as out of place.
-
I also like the two-way I. Yeah, the pips don't seem necessary there...since it's a compass thingy.
-
Two-way no. 1 is the better of the two - and get rid of the lines running along the sides; I can see no good reason for them being there and it would look nicer without them. Your deck is sailing-themed with a dash of the piratical - pips on the back just seem out of place.
-
Two way I for me as well.
-
I also go with the Two Way-I. It looks much better when it doesn't include the pips I feel.
-
Another vote for the cleaner 'two-way 1'.
-
I don't know, I liked the pips on the back... I didn't really mind the one-way, but if it has to be two-way, then I vote for the first one, since the second one seems too... Busy?

Ah, thanks for pointing that out Don. Didn't even notice them, haha.
-
Yet another vote for "TWO WAY I." The suit icons are a particular pet peeve. Unless I do a lot of tarot card readings, I don't really need those indicators to remind me that this is a deck of playing cards.

Not a bad looking deck! I quite like it. Will have to take it with me to my local yacht club when I go sailing if I can can get my hands on one.
-
Awesome! Can't wait. :D
What date and time will this project launch? Also, will the campaign be running for 30 days, or will it run longer?
-
Looks good. Launch date?
(If anyone read my original comment, I derped)
-
I like it.
-
I responded to this but it magically disappeared into the 'outernet' apparently.
We will be notifying everyone on here 24 hours prior to setting sail on KS.
We are waiting for KS to approve. It will run 36 days.
Thank you for the support and hope we have the opportunity to send you some cards!

I'm probably walking the plank, but after looking at the cards. I can see that your making a frame. To me, it would look better if the skulls and saint symbols were right side up. Look at the AoS as an example. Notice the skulls. Also, It's nice to be an optimist, but I think you have to many stretch goals with dollars signs stated. Go ahead and state what they are, but only put the dollar amount for the first stretch goal so people can concentrate on that one.
-
Very nice. I'm in for a few.

It's looking like you'll have a good campaign. Your deck will have little trouble standing out among so many other, less interesting decks on KS now - there's always a lot of projects these days, but only a few that are worth a second look, and yours will be one of those few.
Being new, you probably didn't realize that we try to keep all posts about one deck in the PCP under the same topic. I merged this topic with the previous one and gave the new, combined topic your new topic's title.
-
Don, Thank you for the compliments and advice. You're definitely right, I am new to this forum and...well...forums in general.
I went to my link and thought something was wonky Thanks for doing that, and keeping everything in one thread has been noted :)
Appreciate the confidence as well.
Everyone has been very supportive and welcomed us into the community without hesitation.
We have learned a lot so far. Honesty makes up the ingredients, improving our branding recipe.
Looking forward to 'sea' where this ship sails!

There is only going to be 36 decks for $7.00 hopefully I can be one of those 36. If not I will pick up a deck at $12.00 still.

Backed for half brick. But I wondered why add on is cheaper than this half brick tier?
-
Shipping and the additional goody. I believe you were the first to pledge and would be getting the ACE of spades. Anyway, thanks for your support!!
-
Good luck on the campaign, really looking forward to seeing some of the stretch goals come to fruition!
-
There was one $7 reward left when I pledged. KS told me congratulations, I had gotten it, I received a "You have authorized the creator to charge you..." Successful backer e-mail, and then an e-mail that I didn't get the reward because it's all gone.
Reminds me of the T11 prize wheel...land on a prize but you're automatically bumped ahead to the "No Reward" space! :-)

Damn, 77 $7 Early Birds and now more at $10? Love it when someone puts others to shame on EBs, specifically the people that have a mere 10-20 Early Birds that are $1 cheaper than the regular price lol
-
1/2 funded in about 8hrs- not bad(no jinks, no jinks)
-
Yeah got in on one of those $10 early bird.. Funny thing I was out at a party last night at a Casino hotel and we stayed over night. I woke up at 4:15 am about 7 min before Seven seas went live. So I got on my smartphone to go get one of those EB at $7 but my phone died at 421am, just before it went live. So I just went back to bed. Plus I had just won $900 at the tables a few hours earlier, so all was good hehehehe

Hey Guys, sorry I was busy tending to the ship! and the S^&%^% LOL!
I can't tell you how happy we are to come to this forum after joining just a few weeks ago and read thee threads.
We are so appreciative of the support and are amazed at the response for being "unknown" designers and novice collectors and the patience to read run-on sentences. HAHA
Anyway, we are strategizing and navigating the waters of the sevens seas.
It looks like a full fund and a new deck could be lurking ahead. How cool would it be to release a new design on our rookie journey?
We have some clever maneuvers to make and you all will reap some benefits.
Thanks for all the ongoing support and kind and honest criticism!
I will try and respond to some of you individually, right now I gotta get some sleep!

8) Thanks! I am also curious if anyone out there know the percentage of decks that contain 54 unique illustrations? (No cards alike!...minus the pips)
Thanks to the fantastic response on our campaign that has reached $20k in 3 days, there may be a small possibility that we will reach our epic stretches.
As we get closer, I think it is important that we exploit the fact that this will be the result if we do.
We are hoping that somebody has a rough idea from the collections they've seen.
Thanks again everyone for the support!

No idea what the percentage is, but I can name a few. They're mostly transformation, semi-transformation, or art decks:
- Ultimate Deck by Dan & Dave in collaboration with Stranger & Stranger
- Playing Arts by Digital Abstracts
- Creative Cards by Digital Abstracts (bridge sized)
- Deck 1, Deck 2, and Deck 3 by Black Rock Collective
- The Keys to the Kingdom by Tony Meeuwissen
- Clipped Wings by Emmanuel Jose (coming to Kickstarter 2014)
There's one other vintage transformation deck on my mind but I can't recall the name right now. I'm sure there are more, but I'm guessing the percentage of decks with 54 unique illustrations is very low.
-
Thank you Sher143, thats helpful. Just brainstorming on a few things to expand our deck.
Another 18 illustrations will add 18 more tales for the card theme/captain log.
A lot of work for sure, but looking for the integrity/expandability of the deck too.

There's one other vintage transformation deck on my mind but I can't recall the name right now. I'm sure there are more, but I'm guessing the percentage of decks with 54 unique illustrations is very low.

$3k away from the captains deck release at $32k Do you prefer the Top or Bottom? (not that way either people...lol) 8)Thanks for the support everyone!

I like the top one - and neaten up the signature a bit. Sure it looks authentic, but you're trying to sell a deck of cards - an easier-to-read title would serve you better and look more polished as a finished product, I think.

I really like bottoms. Oh, you mean the pictures? ;D
Assuming the only difference is the side ornaments on the front of the box, I don't mind them being there. So bottom one, I guess.

I didn't know there was a difference until you pointed it out. I thought it was a trick question or something. But yeah, what they said. Bottom is best.

Thanks everyone. Sorry...I know it has been awhile since I posted. The campaign has taken off a lot. Thanks for everyone supporting, pledging, sharing and more. I especially thank those giving us advice to make a great looking deck, better. We have release the captains deck and some other goodies. Feel free to take a peek at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glummies/seven-seas-playing-cards
Be back soon after I get some sleep!
