Sumea T-Shirts

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

I am thinking of designing some wicked Sumea t-shirts sometime when I have the funds. They're pretty expensive to produce (printing and shirt costs, plus you have to produce them in numbers), so I'm curious as to how many of you would be interested in one.

I want to make a Sumea Launchpad shirt for modellers, which says "I do it with models 24 hours a day" [:)]

I'd be up for that. @:-)

Submitted by Kane on Wed, 05/11/03 - 1:19 AM Permalink

I would most certainly be wanting one of those!!!

Any chance of a programmer one too?

Submitted by Aven on Wed, 05/11/03 - 3:00 AM Permalink

Fuck yeah. That's funny as all hell. I will definitely be up for one.

What about motto's for programmers and all?

I mean that might fit with a programmer, but not really that easily.

That sounds reasonable I guess...

How much are the expected prices / will they be available at the or by the AGDC?

int main(){printf("Hello Sumea!
");return 0;}

or something like

hell:

while ( concious == true )
{
if ( sleepy == true )
{
ConsumeCaffeine();
sleepy = false;
}

Code();
}

if ( deadlineIsSoon )
{
Sleep( 2000 * 360 );
}
else
{
Sleep( 4000 * 360 );
}

goto hell;

I don't think they'll be available before the AGDC (although that would have been great if it were). It'll have to wait until I have funds to do it, and I think the first printed batch won't have mottos specific to modellers/programmers, so everyone can wear it. [:)]

I had alook at Zazzle, and I'm not too sure you want to become involved with them. They have a Watersports section for the T-Shirts :D

They do have some very nice designs there. Do you know what the quality of their printing is like? The reason why I stopped buying a lot of T-Shirts is because the image tends to fade, split and just look like crap.

Submitted by souri on Wed, 05/11/03 - 8:58 PM Permalink

Just had a look around zazzle.com... They're US based, and there's a $4.99 (US) shipping charge overseas for each shirt (or $8.99 per shipment). It should be cheaper to produce shirts locally.

Ah Smg, I don't know how well people would take that one. I think it's funny because of that though :)

Reminds me of http://www.engrish-store.com/ihatmystshir.html :D

That one is gold Pants, Best thing is, only people who are 1)into modelling/animation. and/or 2)have used sw with a dongle, will actually get that. Great one.

Souri,

You may want to check out CafePress.com.

It'll allow you to create custom items, based on a blank item which you can position graphics on, then set up a store-front to sell them from. Hell, you can even sell boxers and ladies lingerie! Some of these guys could buy their girlfriends a g-string that had "Bone this, baby" (maybe that's a bit x-rated) on the front! But they have t-shirts, sweat-shirts, mugs, mousepads, all sorts of stuff you can put your graphics on.

The only thing is that they're in the US and shipping times are a little longer to Australia. But they're relatively cheap, and you can always set up a store, create a few 'test' items and see what they look like on-screen for free.

cheers

Matt

It'll have to wait till I have the funds for it.. Christmas and New Years is just around the corner, and I know I'm gonna be broke after all that! I'll weigh and see what works out cheaper, doing it at a place like CafePress.com or throw local printers/materials.. I tend to think that I can get out better shirts with the latter method..

Kind of an old thread but how about,

I work, look and play with models all day. And boy does it give my hand a workout! [:p]

I'm currently working on a design at the moment (I'm keeping it simple), so hopefully I'll have about 50 shirts printed in time for the Next Wave Independant Game Developers Conference in Melbourne this year..
