I am not very interested in merchandising, unless they are objects that have an useful function, something that I could use often, not something to put in a drawer and forget about it after a while.
I have ordered the following t-shirt, I really like its illustration:
They should also design a t-shirt with the blueprint of a PF-001 tube on it. I would probably buy that.
Has anyone gotten a Viewtron 3000? I’m curious if the images are actually “3D” (two different perspectives on the two images you look at). I doubt that’s possible or practical as the game, as I understanding it, wasn’t designed for true 3D ‘z’ depth, I don’t think, but who knows what magic Ron and his team have done when put to the test.
Yes, the ViewTron images are in 3D. The rooms do have “depth” in that we need to know what you can walk behind and in front of, plus the near and far paralaxing. We had to tweak some of the values to make these images, but it is 80% from the game.
Though it’s not official merch but approved by the master Ron Gilbert himself
(“Awesome image, I like how the body is in pixels.”) I’d like to share my fan merch with you: Thimbleweed Park fan merch
Today I got my beautiful Thimbleweed Park t-shirt.
I loved that design from the first time that I saw it on the Fangamer website but looking at the real stuff is a completely different thing. I’m very satisfied with this purchase!
I never liked the first design, to me it seemed made a bit in a hurry. The blue one was almost an instant purchase, instead. Sitting on my hands didn’t work, I filled the order form with my nose.
I never noticed the haikus at the bottom of Fangamer mails, thanks for mentioning them.
