Title: Creeper World Tee Shirt
Post by: knucracker on April 17, 2011, 04:55:15 PM
The good folks at http://Discordmerch.com would like to create and offer a Creeper World branded Tee Shirt.  This topic is for community input.
Note that the shirt will be single sided and likely target a single color.  So think in terms of words and perhaps outlined shapes.  I have sent the folks at Discordmerch a link to this forum topic so they can check here for any input the very talented community might have.

I'm sorry, Virgil, but I would never be able to walk around with a T-Shirt that said "Creeper World" on it... Unless maybe it had a picture of a Creeper from Minecraft on it as well...

Some ideas would be:

Post by: Fisherck on April 17, 2011, 06:55:59 PM
Great idea! Ideas though...

Perhaps a shirt with all the different units on it. Or even individual ones.

a drone in action, like the picture when you enter knucklecracker.

Or one with a map in progress. Maybe at the end, showing the totems power up, or at the beginning, showing the building of the network. Or even one in the middle with the map divided, with one half controled by creeper and the other by the humans. So many possibilities!

If they really wanted to put some effort into the shirt, make it to where it's a Creeper-sound shirt. Comes with a 10-button keypad and a decent speaker on the front that's designed like a Creeper Nexus and the rest of the shirt is slowly filling with Creeper. Comes with CW sounds on it :D (You can also put your own sounds on it, too)

Some ideas would be:


  • An emitter with creeper spreading over a shirt that looks like CW1 terrain
  • Odin City

Those would be my top 2 choices.

Some forum avatars of members here could also work out great.

Make that look good in a one color print then :)

It may look good if we can use 100% black down to 0% black, because then we can play with the greyscale.

Question: Does anyone actually intend walking around with a T-shirt saying the word "Creeper?"  Seriously.

Maybe rather something like "Defeat the Creeper" or, as I previously suggested "Blast This!" and then Creeper World and Knuckle Cracker as smaller text for those looking closer.

The association between "creep" and "Creeper" is easy to mistake that I'd not want to venture out with a shirt like that - just say I don't have the chutzpah.

Edit: just realized Kamron brought this up earlier in the thread.
Title: Re: Creeper World Tee Shirt
Post by: MadMag on April 19, 2011, 01:12:30 PM
I think alot of people would love the shirts just because of the words creeper world.. I remember my rebellion time when I was 12-17. I always wanted the words/sentences like Highway to hell, the number is 666, Piss Off, frak [edited for the young: vw] the world and stuff like that :)

Stuff like that sells, and get attention. Not that "Creeper World" in my mind is in that category, but yeh.

I'd say 100%, 80%, 20% and 1% of black are all black, so one colour.

I'd prefer not. A small CW logo on the left of the chest would be fine though.

It depends what other text is on the T-shirt ,
so i dont mind wearing it with the word CREEPER on it ,
if the small text fits and are kind of funny . ( an doubble way to get it , so it can be even good or bad depending of how you read it =P )

Yep.. 0% to 100% black is one color, but not all print companies count it as one color. (the printing press don't tackle it)

If it does there is several cool things we can make. Also depends on the shirt color.

Post by: Discordmerch on April 25, 2011, 02:05:59 PM
Hello, this is Ed from Discord Merch.  Virgil pointed me towards this thread as I wanted to get input from the CW community on the shirt design.  My main focus is to use a design that existing fans of the game would like but also would be funny, cute or interesting enough so that if someone sees the shirt and has never heard of Creeper World they still might buy it.  On my site I have shirts for TVtropes.org and I have sold them at conventions to people who have never heard of the site, they just liked the shirt.  So this is a way to make fans happy, but also to potentially spread the word about the game. 

With screen printing, each color is its own screen, so the more complex a design is the more expensive it is to print.  However, that doesn't just mean black on white or white on black.  I currently have a green on black design, for example.  However, for a particularly good design I would be ok with 2 colors, or 2 sided.  Any design has to include the Knuckle Cracker logo and website URL.

I am particularly liking Mad Mag's designs, they are all good and appropriate for screen printing.  Also note that we don't have to get everything into one shirt.  If the first shirt does well I would obviously be open to expanding the line, especially with Creeper World 2 coming out.

If anyone would like to email me directly, my email is Info@discordmerch.com.  If I use someone's design as-is I will be happy to credit them in the shirt description on the site by their forum name or any other identifier they wish.  Virgil does get final approval on any designs before they go up, but he agreed that getting community input was important.

Thanks for the great ideas, hopefully with your input we should have a finished shirt design shortly.

Unfortunately I couldn't support any of MagMad's shirts simply because I could never walk around with "Creeper" on my shirt. Only ideas I could get behind is maybe a monochrome version of the units in the game if you want 1-2 colors...

I particularly liked the CW1 terrain with Creeper spreading over it with the KC logo on it.

I can understand that, but as the game is called Creeper World I don't know how to get around that.  What about including something like "Blast the Creep(s)" or something similar?

That'd be awesome. I'd love to have a shirt like that. Slap a KC logo on it and maybe a Blaster black and white old school look and it'll be a lot better than "Creeper World" and the KC Logo

Knuckle Cracker gets final say on the design as it is his logo and game.  I certainly didn't intend this to be a back and forth on the definition of Creeper.  I have a 10 year old nephew and have no intent on making a shirt that could be construed as unseemly.  My Batman shirt is the closest I come to going 'blue' and that is only because it is a direct quote of the meme.  I've been corresponding with Madmag and will probably utilize some variation of the designs he has submitted.  Once a design has been made and approved by KC, I will place it up on my site for pre-order for $5.  When the shirts are physically printed, those that placed pre-orders will be able to buy the shirts for just the difference.  After that, based on the popularity of the shirt I would definitely be up for a second design, so any ideas that didn't make it into the first one will still have a shot.

I generally print from Large to XXXL.  If there is sufficient interest I can print Small and Medium.  Do you feel Small and Medium will be needed or should I stick with my normal sizes?

Thanks again for all the input!

The idea with the jokes is to appeal to fans as well as new people.  I mentioned the TVtropes.org shirts that I do.  The ones I picked were things that regulars of the site would get but are still amusing overall, such as "Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja", "May Contain Evil" or "The Computer is a Cheating Bastard".  If you know the site you get the full joke but even if you don't it is still funny (I hope).  I was just seeing if there was anything similar in CW.  While I play the game I am not as immersed as many of you who actually design levels, discuss strategy, etc.

And there doesn't have to be.  It can still be a straightforward CW shirt using some of the designs discussed, I just like to throw out different ideas.  I'd rather have a good, normal shirt than try to force the funny.

Then you should understand that it was "Creep" because of the "Creeper World" could give off a negative reaction.

ah... didn't think of that.  i don't think you should use that design then, because it sound like a regular unit tower defense...

MM, how about a drone saying: you will be undone?

Quote from: Charlie Sheen on April 29, 2011, 05:12:50 AM
I can deal with there being a "Creeper World" there as long as it isn't the primary focus of the T-shirt.

Indeed; rather focus on the image and/or catchy one-liner.

I would also make a choice between the KnuckleCracker logo and www.KnuckleCracker.com, to prevent it from looking cheap (I only walk around with clear advertisements if the T-shirt is heavily subsidized).

Quote from: Discordmerch on April 26, 2011, 02:14:53 PM
I generally print from Large to XXXL.  If there is sufficient interest I can print Small and Medium.  Do you feel Small and Medium will be needed or should I stick with my normal sizes?

Why keep 'em in stock? Just print when ordered like most web shops do. Also keep in mind that many people outside the US are a little smaller (width, not length :P) if you like to ship abroad.

And now Kees brought it up, do you ship to europe, and do you have the invoice/package content/pricing info so it's availble without opening the package? (you know, pesky import laws in denmark ;))

I have shipped to England and the Netherlands without incident.  If you place an order from a country with specific import/customs rules like that please include that info with the order.  I was not aware Denmark required that.

To answer a previous question I do screen printing, not print on demand, so I have to print a number of shirts up front.  That is why I go to such lengths to get a good design and then do the pre-order system.  I am going over a few designs, including some submitted by MM here, and should have something to go within a week.  Thanks.

It's not required by law as far as i know, and is merely just to avoid them tearing open the package for inspection of contents so they know what to set the import taxing for :)

I'm sorry, but "Blast the creep" is exactly what I'd NOT want on a shirt. The term in CW is "Creeper." "Creep" is that guy doing weird things to little animals and can too easily be taken to be the guy wearing the weird shirt.
Title: Re: Creeper World Tee Shirt
Post by: Ebon Heart on June 07, 2011, 01:40:44 PM
and a "creeper" is more commonly known as those stupid explody things on minecraft. Maybe, "destroy the loki" or something?
Title: Re: Creeper World Tee Shirt
Post by: Grauniad on June 07, 2011, 02:10:48 PM

To any person not familiar with CW it would look like a T-shirt with the sun or a sea mine.

Post by: Ebon Heart on June 09, 2011, 10:45:47 AM

Yes.  As this thread was...less than productive Virgil and I selected one of the You Will Be Undone shirts (version 3 above).  It will be placed on my site shortly as a $5 pre-order until the shirts are physically printed and then will be ready for regular sale.  Anyone that places a $5 pre-order will receive a $5 coupon to be used for the sale of the shirt when it is ready (the pre-order essentially acting as an intent to buy to give me an idea of how many to print on the first run).

Depending on how this run goes I definitely want to do a shirt for CW2 specifically.

I will post here when the pre-order is ready with the link.  Thanks!

Well then good news everybody!

As Virgil mentioned the shirt is now available for pre-order.  $5 down now will give you a $6 coupon when the shirt is ready.

Title: Re: Creeper World Tee Shirt
Post by: Discordmerch on July 12, 2011, 12:55:29 PM
The first run of shirts is going to be printed.  While that is happening the pre-order option is still available up until the shirts are done, so it is still $5 pre-order to get $6 off the final price.  Those that pre-ordered will be sent their code to redeem first and then I will post here that the shirts will be ready for regular order.  At that point the pre-order option will be closed.

It's possible, the next thing I want to focus on will be a CW2 shirt so I will come up with a few different designs for scrutiny.  As always Knuckle Cracker gets the final say.

That is weird, after Virgil mentioned the link was up I tested it and it worked.  Item 65 was the pre-order which I have taken down and now the link goes to item 66, strange.

I know the drone is from CW2, that is why I said it was a possibility.  :)

I like MadMag's designs so will try to utilize what he has submitted, pending community and KC approval, obviously.
