Box art....?

Post by Peorth »

I just had an idea a few minutes ago...How about we create mock up box art/CD jacket/CD art for the game? I'd be willing to do it, but I'd need high res versions of the sprites, etc...heh. Just a thought, anyway.

I think it WOULD be pretty good to have up on the downloads page and/or in the installer. o.O

Bumping this just to say that I'm working on cooking something up ;)

Quick little preview ;)

Thoughts?
The back (In the screenshot, the left side) will have a quick blurb on what the game is, and some screenshots and the 4LS/KS logo somewhere, maybe the KS logo on the spine, too, we'll see.

Suggestions welcome.
Overall theme will be black, I just have it as white to let me see the template :P

Needs linux/mac/windows icons along with the 4LS logo. Spine needs the heart logo, etc etc

You seem like you know what you're doing.

It'll have all that...I need to get on my friend to give me some ingame screenshots, though, I haven't got too far into the demo yet, and I don't have my beta test build installed anymore.

I'm not sure I like the cut-picture image for the cover of the game; personally, I'd like something that featured all of the girls in more detail on the front, with the current front image put on the rear cover as background art for the text. That's just me, though. The thread is a great idea all the same. XD

This may just be my opion, but the KS Da Vinci Pose should be on the back. But that's just my option.

If it's on the back, then what of the front?

Like I said, full-body (or at least, say, waist-up) of the characters. Give me a few moments and I'll see if the Shimmie has some good pics... expect an edit here. XD

Put those together in a creative way and voila. I'd do it myself, but... I don't have the skills, I'm afraid. ^^;


Or just use: ((With the characters closer together?))

I don't think anyone else has mentioned this yet, but how bout a rating box? You could just make something for why it's rated the way it is, then do the box ESRB style.

The back ought to match what most other game boxes go with: in game screenshots and a blurb. Saves you time. Either way, I always loved that cover. There is something so intense about it's composition. Perhaps jarring.

Otherwise, it's a cover Hannibal Lecter would cry tears of blood over. Very, very well done.

Good ideas, but I want the box to use as much official art as possible

What would I have it rated? /jp/? :P lol.

I'll look into changing the orientation of it so it's horizontal when the box is on it's side. Shouldn't be that hard ;)

There was that 100% Completion CG from the game; would that be appropriate (and allowed)?
