Now you have said that. I can see what you mean. But I think it's different enough.Bikefanatic wrote: βTue Mar 30, 2021 4:06 pm I'll say it. Looks like a Thirdway Industries rip off.
This why I backed it. I love the clean vector art.rousselle wrote: βSun Apr 04, 2021 3:48 pm My first thought was also that this looks like a Gio knock-off, but upon a closer look, I realized that the art is quite different; it's just that is looks similar because it's vector graphics (and the recurring image of the mobius triangle.)
The more I look at this, the more I think it deserves a shot.
I'm taking advantage of the Early Bird for a couple decks, and keep and eye on the campaign as it goes.
Update: I just sent Balthasar a direct message on KS to encourage him to check out the UC. I'd love to hear his take on the project here.
PS: And, while we're at it, look at the project page and just feast your eyes on the way the card backs look in a fan. How can you not love that?
You're all absolutely right in recognising the similarities to Giovanni's decks. Admittedly, he's been a huge inspiration for this deck. In fact, his were the first custom playing card decks I've ever seen and the inspiration to start designing my own deck. I tried as good as possible to distance myself from his decks and develop a unique look. Still, some elements couldn't be knocked out of my head and stayed more or less similar to some of his ideas.rousselle wrote: βSun Apr 04, 2021 3:48 pm My first thought was also that this looks like a Gio knock-off, but upon a closer look, I realized that the art is quite different; it's just that is looks similar because it's vector graphics (and the recurring image of the mobius triangle.)

I didn't even realise the similarities of the snake myself until you pointed them out. They really do look very similar.KingfisherZero wrote: βTue Apr 06, 2021 8:32 am Very Gio feel to them. The triangles and the snake on the QoS are probably the biggest recognizable TWI trademarks. The back design definitely distinguishes it more though. I think I'm a pass on this one for now, but wish them luck. It's a lofty funding goal!
