Like the way Vocaloid renders the voice samples adds some sort of accent because it's meant for Japanese

fail. vocaloid was originally made for English banks. its just how the program reads the words typed

XD I completely agree with that shirt problem you guys bring up. I'm also very picky about graphics on shirts, so I don't think we'll be just slapping his art right on there and selling it off. I'm going to be honest here: That would look terrible. I have a few concepts for shirts (as well as other products) already drawn up, and I personally think they look rather stylish. They range from being very conservative and subtle, to very Otaku-y sort of designs, to just a stylish graphic T. (I told Anders a while back that, if we end up selling shirts, all shirts must be sold in both women's and unisex/mens styles and sizes. I've noticed a lot of websites don't do that, so various shirts that I've liked I've been unable to buy due to styling and sizing. I also know that I'm not the only person this has happened to.)

However after reading through all of these comments about how to include fans, I've really come to like the idea of letting fans design a lot of the merch! I love thinking of how wide the range of art styles and designs would be. The whole prize/payment thing might be difficult, though. The problem with that idea is that we can't really pay a percentage of sales to the winners of each donation/contest/thing very easily, if at all, and Copyright issues could easily arise. Winners would probably have to settle with a prize such as getting a free copy of Oliver's software, or something of the like. (So very much like how the Sonika redesign contest was handled) And upon entering a piece of art to a contest, people would have to agree to turn over all copyright claim to us, so as to avoid issues with that.
Wow... I didn't expect this would get so detailed. See? Plans unfold as fans suggest stuff. 8P

**Now bear in mind that none of this is set in stone, so don't expect for all of this to immediately start happening. There's still a lot of planning and approval to go through to make any of this possible, so it MIGHT not end up happening. I really can't say, since I'm not in charge.**

I think most of the fans wouldn't have a problem with it. Also I'm pretty sure if you made a T-shit I would go nuts and buy one...or two.......or seven.....okay fourteen at max. Also I think a Backpack would be a great Idea too. ( I'm not saying this just because I have had the same backpack for the last 13 years....I swear >.> )

Not all cats are violent and harm/kill/eat birds. A number of good domestic cats won't even kill or harm a bird

And to those of you who aren't "musically inclined" as you say, would you be interested in other sorts of merchandise related to our VOCALOIDS? (I know that's a rather pre-mature question, considering you've never seen or heard Oliver yet, but it's worth considering! We'll be asking this same question to you guys after Oliver's reveal/release to see if the response is the same) It looks like the MMD model idea is rather popular, but is there an existing market for physical sorts of merchandise as well? Things like shirts, keychains, posters, etc. If you guys are interested what do you think you'd want? (We've been mulling over the idea of Oliver merchandise for a bit, but weren't sure if there would be a demand.) So tell us, is there? 8P

Oh for ffffff

I go to sleep and suddenly MERCHANDISE EVERYWHERE?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Good. Yes. Yes. YES. YES. YES. INFINITE YESES.

What I first thought when seeing the boxart:

[Byakuren]

@Shadow: It was said somewhere in this thread that the image in the Op of this thread isn't the boxart. It's really just a teaser.

@Rock: Since I'm in a good mood, and I don't want this thread ruined, so I'm just going to end this discussion short on a good notice. Let bygones be bygones for now.
