I believe it might be doable via coding or tinkering with the custom plugins as I have seen some themes such as Retrorama using fallback element to retrieve a default banner incase the selected platform banner is missing but i'm not sure if BB can alternate between various banners of the same selected platform. What do you have in mind Klop? Perhaps @CriticalCid or @eatkinola can provide a better answer to your inquiry

Nothing in particular, just curious. and considdering your request for the rework on some of the banners. if it was possible to use more then one banner, then you could have some alternatives. so in this particular case you'd have golden eye and Shadows of the empire.

All is good my friend, but if you don't mind can you redesign Windows and Nintendo 64 banners to the Witcher for Windows and GoldenEye for N64?

Here are some samples to get you started:

Goldeneye

Witcher

As i'm wrapping things up for release there are a couple of systems that are missing which I believe are essential as part of the bundled banners for BigFlix 1.1 and they are:

Sega Saturn US

Sega Naomi

Sony Playstation 1 (Metal Gear Solid for US, Castlevania symphony of the night for JP)

Sony PSP (God of War would be nice but it's up to you)

Amiga (Another World)

Atari ST

Daphne (Dragon Lair)

Arcade

MS-DOS

scummvm

Taito Type X (Blazblue or any nice fighting game)

Gameboy Color and Advanced (Pokemon featured in one of the systems)

The rest of the systems such as Wonderswan, MSX, watara supervision, etc can be bundled later to BigFlix 1.2 or offered as a separate download package. I completed both the first and fourth platform views and fixed the spacing issues as well so a new video teaser will be uploaded to showcase the new changes and hopefully the theme will be released tomorrow or on Sunday.

Thanks for your hard work Klop and to everyone for their feedback and support

I'll deviate from my planning and give those banners priority for your release. I was working on Saturn US, but the logo that I found vectorized was a cheap trace and not the proper logo so I had to rework it. do you have a preference for the saturn background ?

*edit*

Btw, Is BB able to alternate between banners ? if you add to banners to the system, will it sometimes show one and then the other ?

Loving it Klops. The only downside I can see is that some titles get fused a little too much with the bg, making them barely readable (i.e. Sega Saturn).

Dont know if the best solution would be to find a more contrasted image, or apply some outter glow to the logo.

Nevertheless, I dig a lot the idea of using retro 2d imagery for the bgs

I agree with that. I am applying an white/Black outerglow screen/multiply blend on the logo's already. Depending on the background. But you guys think I should add more? the banners are quite large, about 2x - 2.5x the size of say the 425x175 Hyperspin standerd. so adding more glow might look exagerated.

Feedback would be much appreciated

Nice work Klops! Glad to see you back in action

Thanks it's nice to fireup photoshop again.. it's fairly straightforward, these banners. not much in the way of cleaning. still glad to help snakey get this theme in hi-gear.

@SNAK3ATER EDIT: nvm .. You've already got that in scope.. ! me -> skimming = fail

Posted February 12, 2018 · February 12, 2018

@SNAK3ATER could you make it so that the pictures don't overlap?

Wow @Klopjero i'm in love with these banners..

They look so good I decided to include a banner frame to highlight your work and offcourse to make it easier for the user to know which platform they highlighted: (Banners overlapping issue fix is on my agenda so no worries)

Now since I have very good banners to showcase i'm inspired to create a fourth platform view which was reserved for BIGFLIX 1.2 but I guess I can squeeze it in this update if I managed to finish the view by this week

Thanks again for your contribution and looking forward to the Sega systems and the rest of the platforms!

P.S. Can you make the PS1 banner Metal Gear Solid themed and Sega Genesis Streets of Rage themed?
