I’m ig noren this one.

[Evilgamer]

traditional Japanese art looks a lot like a standard bicycle deck, who knew,

[GandalfPC]

the tag line only promised “A piece” and it delivered just that.

Scrolling down this thread was quite a surprise. Picture 5 caught me off-guard; not gonna lie, haha.
Call me greedy but "a piece of" is not enough for me.

I had the same reaction

decent

interesting

nice

ok those are just jokers

alright

WHAT is this? (then I actually looked at the campaign)

then I was questioning saying earlier say I wouldn't crap on campaigns....

[kevork]

Noren in Armenian means "again" lol. I can't unsee that for myself unfortunately. Standard courts really break this deck.

[BaconWise]

Noren is yet another ripoff project. I pulled an image of the Joker and easily found a ton of them online.

I am getting so tired of the blatant art theft these days

[Harvonsgard]

I didn't bother to check since I kinda expected it, seeing how much effort went into the courts, lel.
Thanks for the research effort to confim it .

I would not have checked if it weren't for a discussion on FB with the creator. Lots of comments about the standard courts so the creator responded saying something like "we hear you! Look at our updated courts!" The update was some texture on the pips. That's when I checked the artwork lol

Oh no…. Now I can see the reason why the campaign is struggling

I would imagine most people wouldn't catch the copyright infringement. It's struggling because it doesn't offer much.

[GandalfPC]

and it has been bugging me since I first saw it but I’m fairly sure I have seen that back design on a deck on zenmarket or its chinese equivalent a while back

Yes, it's Yoshitsune as a Warrior by Hokusai -- the captions are above the images, and are labelled

The art card design is Okabe: Narrow Ivy-covered Road at Mount Utsu (1855) by Utagawa Hiroshige

Really? They make a big deal that it's original calligraphy

[GandalfPC]

might have been other writing - but looked same with the three hanging banners of that color with white background

I remember them talking about the historical significance of the three banners, but I don’t remember the details

I could certainly see the blank curtains being pulled from somewhere

[BaconWise]

I know I shouldn't be spending any more time thinking about this project but I just checked on one of the other cards on a hunch:

Oh, I completely missed that comment!

[Harvonsgard]

Are those pieces public domain?

[hsbc]

Are those pieces public domain?

They're old enough to be, yes

[laitostarr777]

If those pictures are public domain, or somewhat a paid-to-use pictures, then Senna (aka Deckita) didn't commit any theft.
At least unlike that so entitled designer who keeps getting away with theft

[GandalfPC]

Well they are innocent of one thing - they didn’t steal my heart when making this deck.

[laitostarr777]

I checked up this morning to find, the fundings quickly spiked up!!! Whoaa

KS seems fine with it still looks unlikely to fund.

[Harvonsgard]

If the pics are public domain everybody should be fine with it from a legal stance. Artwise still nothing interesting to see here.

[hsbc]

I wanted to share an important update regarding our project. After careful consideration and taking into account your insights, we have reevaluated our goals. While the initial funding target was slightly overestimated, we are committed to bringing Noren playing cards to life.

Your excitement and passion for this unique deck have been inspiring, and I want to assure you that we are more determined than ever to make Noren a reality. Based on the valuable feedback we've received, we are making several changes to the project to enhance its appeal and make it even more captivating.

I am thrilled to announce that we plan to relaunch the Noren playing cards project on Kickstarter next year. The exact release date is still to be decided, but we will keep you updated here on our Kickstarter community and on our Instagram @deckitadecks.

that 500,000 yen jump in the campaign might be called suspect, if one were of suspicious nature

[Evilgamer]

$6000 is not a very high target I don't like to see campaigns fail but Im finding it difficult to see the scenario where a quality deck could be made for a profit at this scale.
