CriticalCid Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Awesome @viking! Ididn’t know that you have uploaded your raw gameplay footage. It’s really appreciated @Charco sure thing. I'm just not sure if I can get it done over the weekend but I will try to do it as soon as I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Oh no problem @CriticalCid, there is no rush at all ? I meant to say, if you could flip the Shovel Knight and Shantae image horizontally so that they are facing towards the centre of the theme that would be great. Thanks again!

ericcannon Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have been looking for a platform video that would depict the golden age of arcade games. Particularly from the years 1978 to 1983. Is there anyway you could create a video and clear logo for this? That would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 If you provide me with everything I need for that than I would be happy to create this theme video for you. I’m not an artist at all, I just merge media together that already exists. So I'm sorry to tell you that I won't be able to create a logo for you for this. Everything I would need from you is listed in the start post of this thread. @Charco Do you have a clear logo I could use for your request?

Charco Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hey Cid, I couldnt find any clear logo I could use for Windows indie games, the normal Microsoft logo from the original Unified Microsoft theme would be fine I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hey Cid if you blend other peoples art together and it comes out lookng awesome then you are an artist too you just have a non traditional medium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hey @Charco, here you go. Sorry for the delay. I removed the Rayman Legends part of @viking's video because that absolutely isn’t an Indie Game at all and it felt very out of place for me. So I hope you are okay with that.

I'll add this to my Big Box set up this evening, thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 For the record, I made this video for my bartop. Originally, the idea was to make a video with the playable games with an arcade panel. That's why there's Rayman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering why Rayman is in a video called “Windows Indie” but now I know, so everything is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherooftime796 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hey cid, i was wondering if you could possibly share the default template/source files and scripts you use for the themes, so i could make some of my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Here are the .psd source files from most of the Unified themes. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_6XLOBnGwlUNmY4dG1pMWdHU1E I don’t use any other templates. I just exported each element of the .psd files as PNG and mashed them together in After Effects. As for scripts I'm using this Adobe Media Encoder preset to render the After Effects project in maximum quality: AE.epr After that I convert it with the same ffmpeg script that I also use for all of my HyperSpin recordings (to have everything in the same exact format and quality settings). Be aware that the ffmpeg script also adds video and audio fade in's and out's at the beginning and the end of the video. If you want to use it you have to manually edit the time codes for that in the script based on the length of your video: convert AE.cmd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherooftime796 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Cid, i'm trying to export my after effects comp in ame, but when i try to import your preset i get an error (i'm running cc 2015 if it matters). Could you just give me a list or screenshot of your export settings to work from. It would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Sure thing. I’m running version 2017, so maybe that’s why it doesn’t work for you. The settings are basically just set everything to maximum: The rest are the default settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerszr Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 is this project still going on? Any chance for Raine or Vtech Socrates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 The project is still going on. Actually there’s an update with the handful of themes that I did per request in the past few months coming very soon. But you should know that I’m not the original designer of these themes. I just made video versions out of them in order to use them with BigBox and I already did all existing Unified themes that I'm aware of. With that said, if you have a request for a missing platform I would need all source files from you. Check the first post to see what I exactly need for that.

theherooftime796 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 @CriticalCid After a bit of a hiatus I've returned to work on my custom platform videos (which i'll hopefully upload here when i've made some more progress). However, the source psd files hosted on google drive seem to no longer exist. You wouldn't happen to have a mirror for them. Otherwise, could you upload some of the psd's which you've downloaded previously (assuming you still have them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
