KIMYE’S PUG CALENDAR – BOUND 2015 by MEET THE PUGS

We are “Meet the Pugs”, a group of creatives crazy about pugs.

Last year we created Kanye’s Pug Calendar and made it available on Kickstarter for only 10 days, not knowing it would become such a success.

This year our challenge was to make something unexpected, not just a second edition of Kanye’s Pug Calendar.

We are proud to present our new creation:

Kimye’s Pug Calendar – Bound 2015.

We Want Half-Life 3

I think I wholeheartedly agree with Your Kickstarter Sucks here:

the goal of this kickstarter is to raise money to purchase advertising encouraging valve to release half-life 3. can’t tell if this is trolling for sucker dollars or legitimately completely lacking in self-awareness but based on the fucking turbonerds in the video i’m leaning toward the latter

Yet another Kickstarter that ignores IP

Someone wants to recreate a Marvel figure as a plush toy, even using its name, and doesn’t even foresee any problems with that what so ever:

This is a dancing baby Groot Plush toy. I’m working with a company in order to get them shipped and sold in the United States.

The only challenge we face as a community, and this Kickstarter project is having the funds to do what we want. This Kickstarter will begin providing the funds for shipping the Baby Groot to everyone who would like to order one, and help us finance our future as a community. This will also alleviate the necessity to do Kickstarters for future aquisitions of other merchandise that the community might show an interest in.

Megaman X The Movie

I can’t see a single word about actually clearing the rights to use the Megaman name…

For all Megaman fans who want to see the video game characters come to real life on the screen.

This project requires many materials to continue making the costumes and props needed during the production such as spray paint, plastic sheets, fabric, resin and much more.

This project aims to play and be viewed online so everyone can watch it for free, it will also be screened at local and non-local film festivals, comic conventions, social media and possibly make a pilot for a network to pick up for a small tv series such as the syfy station or other.

This is for all Megaman fans who enjoy the video game and now see it into a real life action online show. A lot of effort is being put into this project and so far all is coming out great, slowly but surely it’s getting done, just a matter of time so we can finish it all for everyone’s entertainment, and something new and different.

Porta-Farm, a portable farm for survival food

I can’t help feeling sorry for the poor animals that will be trapped in the tiny enclosures, and I can’t really see how a unit this small will be able to feed even one person.

A portable farm that will feed you in time of emergency, it has fish, rabbits, chickens or ducks and vegies that can be moved.

I think this is an important project because peoples lives are at stake, in case of an EMP there will be no electricity to power all the computers and everything will come to a stop. This means no food in stores, so people are going to be hungry and do any thing to get food, so it is important that your food supply is hidden from the public.

Also if the solar panel is installed you can move it the a place that the sun shines, so it has to be portable. The unit is only 34″ wide and 45″ long and the height is 48″, so it can be moved in the house.

I am testing the unit now for durability

Someone completely ripped off the latest episode of South Park

Even right down to the logo used… (It actually looks like they took a photo of the logo displayed on a monitor)

If you don’t believe me, check out the South Park episode S18E01 on youtube or other services.

Looks like a photo of a screen to me….

I will honestly do nothing, I came up with a catchy title, and that’s all I need

Sorry, mate, but you didn’t. You copied Comedy Central.

These may work…

… but they will also probably make you look like a jerk.

Thomas the Tank Engine Themed RPG

Yet another project where the author hasn’t really thought about the whole IP thing.

This one doesn’t seem to actually have any experience doing large scale projects either.

I don’t even think this is something that anyone has ever thought of before. Imagine a cross between a post apocalyptic RPG like Fallout (other games are available) and the Thomas the Tank Engine universe.

This is rather exciting for me as I have little experience in rendering but I have some experiences in tinkering around with open source game engines so I think I can make the mechanics of the game really work well. One could even say it would be a very useful engine.

If I get enough funding I will be able to devote all of my time into this project and possibly even buy the rights to the Thomas the Tank Engine theme song. Now that’d be cool wouldn’t it ?

With the funding I will hire a small team of expert artists to lovingly create this open ended RPG for you. I will also looking for people new to the industry as it’s always easier to learn from each other.
