Teknoparrot Part 1 A-C 1.0.0

Your themes are incredible, I'd love it if you made all the themes for Teknoparrot, they look fantastic. Best regards.

Glad you like them mate and thats my plan to make all the themes, pack 2 should be done a lot sooner than the first one

These are absolutely amazing. Thank you for all your awesome work. I may have found a potential issue, I noticed that the last video theme in the folder is Bug Busters and that file is corrupted. All themes before that seem fine. Thought maybe the upload might be corrupted? Since I would assume the video themes would contain all themes up to Cyber Diver also? Just thought I'd let you know. Had one last question too. Your older video theme version of Blade Arcus had a 16x9 video snap frame in it, the new one has a 4x3 video snap frame. I was wondering if that was intentional or not as I believe the game is natively 16x9? Just thought I'd ask. These themes are all really fantastic. Thanks so much again. I always look forward to your killer releases.

The file Teknoparrot A-C.zip might be broken, it gives me an error extracting one file. Tried redownloading the zip file and made no difference. I've heard the forum corrupts uploaded files when they're too big, you might wanna check that.

Anyway, great stuff! I'm adding and updating my theme videos with this one!

Thank you so much for this mate. They are superb.

I to am encountering the same issue with corrupting files after Bug Busters. 

Very much looking forward to part 2. 

Hello guys, I'll add a mega link for the pack when im home, thought it was taking far to long to upload. I'll do the next ones in parts d e f g etc not as big then. Sorry about that 😕

Thanks mate. All working now.

You're welcome mate enjoy

Alright, I know I’m stirring the pot here ^^.Honestly, the pack is super complete and really well put together  no complaints there.
But I find the themes, while clean, a bit classic. We were already seeing this kind of presentation on Hyperspin 10–15 years ago,

so I’m a bit surprised to see so much excitement about it today.

I think it’s mainly the “complete pack” aspect that makes it so popular which is definitely a big plus  but visually, I’ve seen more original stuff.

Anyway, as always, it’s solid work from Sucra, no doubt! Still, I sometimes wonder why I spend so much time making complex animations and logos in After Effects, when simpler things seem to create that same “wow” effect.
Maybe I’m just overcomplicating things… technically speaking .

Gonna take my usual 10-mile-long precautions here as soon as we have a different opinion 😅 but seriously, no condescension, no jealousy, no ego thing going on.
Sucra’s doing awesome work, I’m just genuinely trying to understand

Edit : 

Honestly, it's really interesting to see that this kind of content is still so popular today.I think it clearly shows that many users are primarily looking for the comfort of familiarity

a  retro feel, a ready-made package, the "plug & play" aspect more than visual innovation.

What really resonates with people isn't always the most artistically striking thing, but what's reassuring or evokes a shared memory.Personally, I'd like to take this a step further.
Sucra, if you're interested, I could offer my themes to complement yours.We'd be demonstrating genuine collaboration between creators, not just an addition of content,

but a shared vision.but it would allow us to have a richer, more varied collection with different styles.I think we would all benefit, especially the community!

If you're interested, I'll send you everything in a private message and you can make your own little sauce. There's a way to level up together.

What I'm saying also applies to @Suhrvivor . Imagine if we shared everything! Can you imagine the database we'd have... it would be crazy, and it would be so much simpler for someone looking for a theme!

I think there are a few things we need to do... Doing things together rather than individually, that's what a community is all about

You know what would make things a lot easier?
If we gathered all our work — everyone’s, Ctrl+Alt+Def, Davemek, Sucra,( and sorry to anyone I forgot  into one organized post).

Just imagine: everything sorted by category — arcade, console, collections — instead of scattered across fifty different threads.

Have you ever tried searching for a specific theme here? If you found it on the first try, congrats  you’ve just unlocked an ultra rare achievement! 😄

Jokes aside, after all these years, we could really build something great together.
A single, collaborative post that highlights everyone’s themes and launch videos, old and new. It’d make life easier for users and finally give proper visibility to the people who’ve kept this scene alive all this time.

What do you think? Would be awesome to make this happen as a team.

You know why stuff like SteamGridDB works so well?
Because those guys actually work together. They share, organize, and put everything in one place.

I feel like we’re one train behind, honestly.
Maybe it’s time we brainstormed a bit and caught up 

we’ve got the talent, the passion, and years of content… it’s just scattered all over the place.

What do you guys think?

Classic works for many of us. Particularly, for an arcade setup as most (just count wise) will be classic/older games where my preference is a consistent theme style. A brief video intro of gameplay to remind person of what the game is about, then title card, and fade out...move on, or play the game. Particularly for scrolling through game wheels quickly this theme style works well (30 to 40 secs). Plus there is the sheer volume of videos/themes already in the hyperspin style. From my view, missing media and/or mismatched styles than everything else around it (at least at platform level) drags down even the coolest LB/BB themes. My 2 cents, others opinions I am sure will vary.  

Honestly, I prefer the themes the way sucramjd's is making them. They're high quality, not overloaded, and last as long as they need to. I sincerely hope he continues with his own style, just like he's doing now.

Just to be clear : I’m not saying Sucra themes aren’t good.
On the contrary, I think they’re excellent: clean, consistent, and really well made.

My post wasn’t about comparing who does it “better” or “worse,” it was about raising a genuine question:
what if we combined all our styles and creative energy instead of working separately?

We all have our own touch  some go for a classic look, others for a more cinematic or reactive vibe — and that diversity is exactly what could make something truly great.

The idea isn’t competition, it’s amplification.
Let’s bring our strengths together and show what this community can really do when it moves in the same direction.

But yeah  as often happens, the moment someone says something a bit thoughtful, a few people instantly think it’s “criticism” or “comparison.”
I’m just opening a door here.
If you don’t have a culture of collaboration, you’ll miss the message  and that’s a shame.

I’m even happy to share all my arcade themes with him if he wants.
The goal isn’t to take over anything  it’s to centralize everything in one place and make it easier for everyone.

Imagine a single, organized thread that gathers all the best themes  arcade, console, cinematic from all creators.
It would save people time, highlight everyone’s work, and finally give LaunchBox a real “collective library” feel.

I honestly think it’s worth trying. We’ve all been creating for years  maybe it’s time to connect the dots. it's just a suggestion an idea!

It’s crazy, really…
I’m here trying to build a real team project  something community-driven, made hand in hand between passionate creators.

I literally stepped out of my own Patreon bubble just to create something together, so we could move forward as a real community, not just everyone in their own little corner.

And yet… it feels like everyone’s locking themselves in their own zone.

It’s such a shame, because we’ve got everything we need talent, ideas, years of experience.
If we stopped playing solo for just two minutes, we could build something massive.

I’ve honestly tried everything with this community  breaking out of the same old patterns, bringing something new, different, more creative…
And still, no one seems open to it.

It’s wild, really.
We could make LaunchBox shine far beyond its walls  but to do that, we’d have to start thinking as a team.😶

I'm not saying teamwork isn't good, but I think everyone has a different way of creating themes. Some people will like yours more, while others will find them too cluttered for a pre-release announcement of a game they're about to play. When people see one design versus another, they have the option to choose the one they like best. If we all did the same thing, we'd only have one choice, and there wouldn't be any diversity.

I like you're style of themes, i find them way too long though, after all it's a launcher front end for playing games not watching 3 or 4 minuet video clips. Having said that i'm all on for helping out where i can, but my themes will still be the same. The guys and gals here like my work so i wouldn't go changing that anytime 👍
