    Indie Games (PC) custom boxarts collection ( WIP thread / 300+ )

    in Game Media

    Posted

    @damageinc86 It took me a while to understand what you mean about garbled up header. Not only because of my bad english, but because I can't see it on my monitor. Nor on my phone. It looks perfectly clean / black in both cases.

    Then I borrowed my wife's phone to be really really sure and... What the fuck at those ugly grey squares?!!! Now I see it too!

    Do you notice it in Big Box as well?
    If not, we're good (it seems related to softwares color profiles), if yes, once it will be time for the next ZIP archive, I'll happily batch all the boxes so this issue is no more.

    I can also batch an alternative version of the ZIP without the headers if you want me to. Having the boxes only with the art indeed makes sense for people who want to customize them : )

    @Madfox They're even better than the first ones!

    You're doing a fantastic job here! : )

    Also, I should have a bit of time tomorrow evening to make the boxes from the previous lists.

    Oh, to answer about the plastic boxes and the blurry logo: I made a super long post about this, then I got a 503 error on the forum and has been too lazy to rewrite everything a few days ago.
    To make it short: the plastic cases are very well made, but like Fistydollars I'm not very into it. They're great, it's just a matter of taste. The good thing is, you can easily batch the boxes in photoshop to add the plastic cases on top of the simple boxes (using the photoshop automated actions).

    About the blurry logo, it's only some arial black on full black background, no need for a PSD.
    That said, believe it or not, I made it blurry on purpose. I'm making myself a very minimalist big box skin, displaying very, very few texts elements (more like a simple nintendo interface, less like an hyperspin fancy in-your-face-look-at-my-big-setup thing). When the logo was sharp, it looked like a big box info text, so I blurred it on purpose so it kind of disappear and let the priority to the art on the covers.

    @Fistydollars 10 000? 50 000?!! Holy Shit man!

    Alright, I have no time for photoshop tonight (nor tomorrow sadly), but I've made a little something after reading your message.

     

    @madfox

    Hey, welcome! I'm quite  new myself.

    You're very (VERY) welcome if you want to craft some boxes as well!
    Some boxes are super easy to make (if one is already great and existing somewhere else) but sometimes to make them look "real",  it's better to grab some arts somewhere, some logo somewhere else, and mix everything later in photoshop with a few filters, blending modes, gradients on the corners, etc... You're confortable with this?
    I quickly made a Frogatto example to show what I mean.

    Anyway, please do! As said earlier, I won't be available for boxes tonight, nor tomorrow (lot of real work for the real world).
    So don't hesitate to tackle some games of the lists ( or any of your choice ).
    Much appreciated! : )

    "  I think I've earned that much  " >  you know you're  sending this to the database for the community, not for me right? I obviously already have these boxes in my setup ^^!

    That said, sure, I'll do your boxes  as well : )

    For others : please stop the requests for now. Requests will be ok again after the two previous lists are completed!

    (The point is to avoid an endless list and being demotivated at some point.)

    Alright, I'm officially done with all the indie games I have in my Big Box setup : )
    I'll now concentrate on the vids for these games.

    That said, I'm not done making boxes for indie games if you guys need me to!
    If you have a request, please tell.

    A few rules, because one has to draw a line somewhere:
    I'll happily make boxes for games:

    - Out of early access (the name of the game and visuals can still change)
    - With positive reviews
    - (Or If you're the author of the game and want it to be included in the database)
    - (Or if it's really really a favorite of yours, even if other people don't like it.)

    > Please don't throw game names you've never played, and only own for collection.

    Happy requests!
