Be a character in the Lunduke comics & games (Very, very limited opportunity)
UPDATE: One custom character has been claimed -- one left! Toss me an email (see below) if you want to claim it.
The next 2 people to sign up for a Lifetime Lunduke Journal subscription will be immortalized as recurring characters in my pixel-art styled comic strips -- plus those characters will be added as ANSI arti characters in the next update to my game, Linux Tycoon 3.
Seriously. I have need of two new (recurring) characters. And this sounds like a fun way to come up with them!
But I only need TWO.
Here's how to do this:
1) Email "bryan at lunduke.com" if you are interested. I will let you know if one is still available.
2) If I let you know that it's still available, I'll send you instructions on how to purchase a Lifetime Lunduke Journal subscription for $295. (The current price, which goes up on January 1st.)
3) You'll need to make the purchase before 2024. Luckily it only takes a few seconds to do.
4) Once that's done, you and I will decide on the name for the character (your first name, most likely -- but we'll choose that together, in case you want something different), and you'll provide me with some sort of image of you to work off of. It'll be turned into pixel art where the head is roughly 10 pixels wide -- so you won't need to worry about it being an exact likeness. ;)
5) We can do a 30 minute 1-on-1 video chat to hash it all out if you like. Or simply via email. Whatever you are most comfortable with.
That character will then appear as a regular in my comic strips. Plus, it will be included in a "Disaster Event" in the next release of Linux Tycoon 3 -- later in January -- in glorious ANSI art.
Fair warning: These characters will exist within a comic strip universe -- which means they will be the butt of jokes. So only do this if you are ok -- just for example -- with a pixel art character, based on you, being mocked for installing Gentoo. š
Essentially you grant me permission to use the character however I want -- and, in exchange, I'll provide you with a PNG file (with transparency) that you can feel free to use for your own personal stuff (makes a good avatar).
I need to get started on these characters on Monday afternoon, so this rather funky arrangement is only available through the end of December (tomorrow). Once it's January... poof. Gone. And I'll need to come up with the characters all by myself. ;)
