Hacking CompC's amiibo Cards!

[Random11]

Building a template for Mario Sports Superstars, but I'm unable to find the font shown in image, below. Anyone smarter than me able to point me in the right direction?

Looks like OCR-B Std by Adobe

Edit - here is my recreation using that font:

So, I changed my Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD card template, a little. Here is the updated look...

EDIT: As requested by @Redah ... Here is my PSD Template: https://mega.nz/#!RcxXzDKD!uv4j1a8NgdNGx1EardfV_lc2rlKjUei2Ha8zhL3eisA

Hihi, what version photoshop was this made in? I can't seem to open it with CS2 or Gimp2.5

CS5 or CS6, I think. It's on my work computer.

has anyone done custom cards for the amiibos that are special characters on the Animal Crossing New Leaf Welcome Amiibo game?

Unfortunately there aren't good images for AC characters... :/

Ebay is full of these now so not cool

I write to NoA when I find these sellers.
Personal use is a thing, make money from MY/OUR work and sell illegal things is totally different

If you're not already in contact with them, it seems that the right people to talk to would be the ones who sent out the C&D letters for the Breath of the NES game. Of course, there's always a chance that they'd turn on you along with the sellers.

Unfortunately, the text of the C&D that I saw didn't include the contact info.

It's not that they "might" turn on you, they will because as the one that made the "original" images, you used their copyrighted intellectual property and then 'claimed' them as your own. Unless they are hand-drawn or made from absolute scratch, all renders are in violation of copyrights. I found out the reason many of these sites don't actively try to remove these sellers is because what they are selling is the labor and physical materials for the product and not claiming the intellectual property, the same if you sold a coffee mug with Monster Hunter pics on it. Granted if you can find a seller that claims they made everything including the artwork, you can easily get them removed.

Ignoring copyright on the images most people are selling the cards as amiibo. Equivalent to selling bootleg dvds. They should be taken down on the fact alone. Etsy doesn't seem to give a crap though. :/

Do you still work for Nintendo? I'm guessing it may be easier for you to report things like this than it would be for others. Either way, thanks, again for all your contributions.

Who said they work for Nintendo? Did I miss something? Nintendo has a number you can call and an email you can write to in order to report rom sites and bootlegs, anyone can use it. I assume that's what he is talking about.

Are you planning on making the rest of the smash line?

Woah what? There is a Nintendo employee here o.O Don't you risk your job by being found out on this site >.<

LOL! =)

Yes, sometimes I work for Nintendo but not as a direct employee.
The Country branches on Nintendo are only for marketing, to report piracy and things like these it's better contact directly one of the three bigger branches: NoJ, NoA and NoE. But I think I could ask to someone who works in Nintendo which is the better way to report these sellers

Frankly What the point in paying that much for laminated card with a NFC tag. When you could just go out and get a real amiibo for the same price.. Especailly when you can do it next to nothing yourself.

My answer to this is laziness. Why take the time to make something when you can buy it already made for you?

Seriously though, it isn't that difficult. I just take more time because I individually check my tags after each scan to make sure I'm not messing something up. That and waiting for my cards to come from that make playing card site.

 

[Knitten]

Cause they're like 50+USD for the real thing? And Nintendo is retarded when it comes to their business decisions? Like the demand for the product exist, they just choose to not supply, which in turn doesn't help the consumer or the company. They lose profits all for the sake of "collector's value." Unless Nintendo employees are the scalpers, it is a very stupid business move to intentionally not provide a decent supply, especially when they are releasing games that can still use older products.

I don't know why some people want our original PSD.
Do create your from scratch if you want to make your original visual.
We made our cards in this way.
And, because we do not receive any reward from this work I don't know why we should share more than the final images.
Stop asking. At least, to me.

Do you have better quality than what you have on MEGA? The ones you are sharing are low quality compared to what CompC shared?

My cards have print quality: CYMK 300 dpi
