Why can't A-eon just make a new 2017 calendar
« on: November 03, 2016, 11:31:52 PM »
Why can't A-eon just make a new 2017 calendar even if their 2015 calendar didn't sell many copies. I would even commission them to make me a personal calendar with a similar design to 2015's one. Would that be possible? Thanks. Ted

New idea is to use A-eon's 2015 calendar. Although the days will be different to the dates you could just cross off Friday for example and write Saturday. IMPROVISE. Would you agree?

But then there'd be two Saturdays. I love it!!

I think we've identified a gap in the market here. I'm considering an Amiga calendar project. I will be hand drawing each of these calendars though so there will be a waiting list.
For some who are not prepared to wait I will sell some calendars early on eBay for 500 euros.

I would be interested in an early calendar of yours only if it has the professionalism and standard of A-eon's 2015 calendar. It's got to have that level of uniqueness and quirkyness to it. I'm assuming that if it's going to cost 500 euro's it isn't going to be some homebrew project. Have you got what it takes? Thank you. Ted. :p

Robbie was being sarcastic when he said he'd make his own calendar for sale.  I guess not everyone else would understand why you might not see that.

Rob, I haven't seen any sarcasm in this thread yet.

If you preorder and prepay a batch of, perhaps, 100 to 1000 calendars they will consider it.

You could use a service such as Vistprint to make your own.  It should be too expensive depending on what you choose.  It fairly quick and easy to use.  You just pick the pick the style and size of the calendar you want and then upload the images you want to use.

http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/personalised-calendars.aspx?txi=17194&xnid=TopNav_Calendars&xnav=TopNav

If you're looking for idea then you could use level maps from different games for each month.  If you don't want to go through the effort of building your own I found a user on Deviant Art you made their own for back drops.  They're all 1080p so should look good printed out.   There's even a map from Robocod and one from Operation Starfi5h too.

Just pick the ones you like best and once you've download them it should take much longer to build and order your 2017 calendar than it did for me to compose this post.

I hope this has made the thread more useful now.

Clearly poking fun at the situation with Vampire boards.
