Calligraphy Studios

Calligraphy Studios is a studio company on ATBW Blog that is currently a subsidiary of ATBW Label Networks. It is well known for the Calligraphy Deer franchise that has been going since 2001 and still goes today, though it had been long obscured until February 2018 after CCTV Productions aired Three Deer on Comedy Humor, which resulted in a lawsuit for its main characters being too similar.

History
The company was founded on January 10, 2001 by Danny Anguilla at the age of eleven years old after Signature Studios cancelled a sequel to Signature Deer Vs Artie in 1999. Anguilla started it with the help of his friends and his parents, who continued to financially pay for the company until 2007 when its founder finished high school. Anguilla also took the rights to Artie with him and made him the main mascot of the new company.

It was affected by both Deltahorse35V5 in the mid 2000's and Tetrahorse04V1 in the late 2000's, the latter of which doing substantial damage to online servers on Deer Tracks, a 2004 online multiplayer game.

It was popularized in the mid 2000's, but declined in popularity in the 2000's and remained relatively scarce until 2018 when the company sued CCTV Productions for creating similar characters to that of Calligraphy Deer in the series Three Deer. This was later disregarded as the lawsuit violated ATBW Blog's rules in regard to free use guidelines.

Deer Tracks (2004)
The company has been embroiled in numerous controversies ever since the launch of Deer Tracks in 2004 and the Calligraphy Deer PBLOG site that launched with it. Several users have complained of persistent trolls within the community servers and rude and toxic admins that ran them, and many users have complained that some servers, many of which consisted of build-a-raft mini games and capture the flag games, had numerous problems with obnoxious trolls purposefully attacking others by preventing them from playing the game at all, using methods including excessive spawn camping by using modified rocket launchers or preventing users from playing the game by using portable holes from the game Toontown to prevent them from playing the game.

Transphobia and homophobia are also problematic as the majority of Deer Tracks players and Calligraphy Deer PBLOG users view LGBT negatively. While Calligraphy Studios has started to combat this problem, the measures are not enough and the community is well known for bullying others who are different, even condemning the company's efforts. Even though Calligraphy Studios and PBLOG Group are working to put an end to the epidemic, it has only resulted in retaliation and criticism from the Calligraphy Deer community. Many users have sent death threats to both companies, but has led to them being banned by PBLOG.

Bullying is also problematic in Deer Tracks. Instead of players calming frustrated players down or simply blocking or muting them, they call them out and expose them on the Calligraphy Deer PBLOG site, which is where the game is accessible from, in which the bullying players invite others to get in on the action. On some occasions where the victims have deleted their accounts due to frustration and trauma, one of the bullies has made more accounts with the sole intent of impersonating them and doing very horrendous things to get the community to hate them even more. The bullies have also made their avatars look like their victims to make them look like they're the ones doing it when not.

The company also gained notoriety for releasing the Calligraphypad on November 15, 2006. This was due to the fact that it took four AA batteries and the batteries always needed to be replaced constantly. It was discontinued in 2007 due to poor sales.

Also in 2007, the more notorious Calligraphypad Pro debuted, which was a laptop that was negatively perceived. The ten-inch laptop that resembled a Nintendo DS was equipped with a proprietary operating system similar to Windows 95, but the laptop did not have an actual CPU or even a hard drive at all and instead only had an internal memory disk embedded into it with only 64 megabytes of memory in it, which was notorious for making even the simplest tasks a frustrating and daunting process. It also had a couple of games built-in including Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers (SNES), Sonic The Hedgehog, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Mappy, and Signature Deer, as well as both Calligraphy Deer Blue and Calligraphy Deer Silver from the Game Boy Color and ATBW 1D/2D handheld systems. However, all of them except for Mappy, Mario Brothers, and the Calligraphy Deer games had significant performance issues when played on it. The third-party games added onto the laptop, specifically SMB and Sonic 1, were rewritten and the engines in those games were remade, making them frustratingly difficult to control. In addition, the characters of both of these games also fell through small gaps even when running and momentum was stopped whenever they jumped on a spring in either game. As for the other games, they also have other issues and bugs, though the 8-bit ones had lesser issues than the 16-bit ones (SMB, STH 1, and DRMBM).
