zomboided Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Just work at your own pace. If they want it done sooner, they can learn how. This, or slower if newer-like tonkas hassle you. This is some nice looking stuff. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Styphelus Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 @ andyco40 If you are in a hurry to get them, I dropped 6 themes on my FTP folder. Those are the only ones I've done so far. I included one for ScummVM as well. I'm sure giggbawho will do a better job but in the meantime, help yourself to what I have. Unfortunately those are the only systems I have setup on hyperspin so far (I'm new to this). I do them as I go along. I'll try to do a few more in the next few weeks.

Polemicist Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Did it still have the wood grain finish boss? I really liked that wood grain look of the 2600.
gigapig Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Yes me too Polie. I remember as a 10 year old, rubbing my chin and saying to my brother, "man, I do like those aluminium toggle switches" Shame the X One and PS4 didn't take design cues from the awesome 2600.
Styphelus Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 This is what's on the FTP right now. If you guys downloaded anything before today, please re-download as I made minor revisions. These are final (hopefully). For the system themes, some of the artwork has to be re-sized unfortunately and you might have to make adjustments since I don't have all the cart art work. There will be more to come.
Styphelus Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Not a single comment? Is anyone even interested in these? Do you want me to make any changes? I have a few more in the works. I know my theme making abilities are not that great since I just started using hypertheme. If you have any suggestions let me know.
Skitprat Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Just tested them, they're very nice ! Visually everything is really good, the only suggestion I would make is to make them more animated, they look a bit static compared to the other themes. anyway, it's a great job ! Thanks
gigapig Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I just checked out the first 2 Atari themes, and they look very good, very clean and sharp looking. 2 points, Firstly there is no movement apart from the video, is that how these should be? Keeping things clean and simple. It's not a negative, just interested. Secondly, I was concerned that they weren't named correctly if they are ever to be uploaded, or again, is that not the intention. they are missing your name and the code. Thanks again.

I kept the same animations as Gibawho had in his Sega Genesis Prototype. I didn't want to start messing around with his work too much but yes, they do lack some animation. I figured that maybe he wanted them to be simplistic. I'll try adding some different effects for the next version. Does anyone know what happened to Gibawho?

I was more concerned with comments on anything people would like changed before progressing too far. Guess I will work on the animations and add some more effects. I agree they are a bit too static. Thanks everyone for the feedback. Please be patient....I don't have a lot of free time but I'll do what I can to complete all the themes.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Please be patient....I don't have a lot of free time but I'll do what I can to complete all the themes. My only thought would be that one of the biggest strengths of this theme is its cleanness. While it may be a little static, I think that direction is a better way to err than too much animation. A little more small touches could be fine, but less is more. Personally I'd vote for more themes (:cough: Arcade Classics :cough:) over more bells and whistles.
byttle Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I haven't tested these themes yet, but just sliding the character/console art from both sides at a normal speed is enough animation for me. Very excited about this set of themes. Amazing work.
Styphelus Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 As requested. I created an alternate one because I didn't like the empty space on the right. Both will be FTP under Main Menu tomorrow. Not sure what to do for the system part. Any ideas? By the way, some people want more animation, some like it as is so I'm going to do a clean set first just to get everything done. I'll go back and add animations after for those who want it unless someone wants to take on that task.
epetti Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 As requested. I created an alternate one because I didn't like the empty space on the right. Both are on the FTP under Main Menu. Not sure what to do for the system part. Any ideas? You rock! Personally I prefer it without the character on right and have actually been removing the characters on some of the other themes because I like to always be able to see the wheel. Regarding the system theme, I had an idea, but I don't think it's feasible because I don't think the artwork is all there in the right form. Ideally, since the theme is an arcade cabinet, the game's marquee and bezel would display on the cabinet. That would be very cool! Absent that, just essentially duplicating the main menu theme and relying on the wheel for artwork would probably be the most straightforward.
