Tripwire swag

[BombasticMime]

I an interested in getting some Tripwire t-shirts and swag but it's a bit on the pricey side (and besides I could do a better job). What are the copyright rules for making your own Tripwire stuff? For example, can I make my own t-shirts/hats as long it is made for my own use and don't sell to others for a profit?

This is not something we can allow. We are looking into refreshing our merch store so please feel free to let us know what types of things you would like to see.

Thanks for setting this straight.

I would like to see a greater variety of tee shirt designs, particularly featuring all of the characters including legacy kf1 ones. And of course, more competitive prices would be a winner. More shirts sold would mean more advertising, right?

I'm baffled as to why you would even ask permission if you were just planning to make stuff for yourself.

Ofc TWI is going to tell you no, you had to expect that response lol.

I asked because it's the right thing to do; and who knows, maybe they would have allowed it, since it would be free advertising for them. It's not my thing, but do Cosplay people need to get permission?

Anyway, the ulterior aim was to express in an interest in Tripwire making better stuff at lower prices.

Cosplay isn't the same as making your own merchandise lmao

That said:

TWI, you guys remember the boardwalk KFO mode map from KF1? The one with the very minor mini-game stands like the one where you throw grenades into a hole? Those had cute little low-poly crawler plushies as scenery. I'd love to buy one of those.

Or, alternatively, if possible, partnering with a figure company like McFarlane Toys to produce some official models and figures would be cool. I'd love a Mr. Foster figure with some weapons or a Fleshpound figure.

I would also like to see t-shirts and stuff with Horzine logos, slogans, and themes.

If i'm wearing a t-shirt of Mr. Foster i made, how is that different from wearing a costume of Mr. Foster that i made? The difference lies in the permission Tripwire gives to the latter to use its intellectual property.
