Unsure of if it's something specific to the demo or not, it could be good to use as a 'bonus poster' of sorts


maybe do a GTA and have a poster our 'Vitruvian Girls' with a large version of the 100% completion bonus from the demo on the back? I'd have no real way to replicate that in photoshop, though....heh.

Edit: Bit of an update

Much better. Perhaps the red 'heart attack glow' could be put behind the type.

Working the screenshots in....

Which? The type on the spine? Or the blurb?
Either way, I'd have to ask the devs for that file, I guess...I don't have it handy ;P

I was going to say the blurb, but it makes the spine stand out. Why not both?

I like it much as originaly presented. Kind of stark looking is cool to my eyes.

Instead of using black for the background, try using the background image for these forums or something of the kind.

Will give it a shot....tomorrow zzzzzzzzz

Seconding the use of of forum background texture. With the black and the fancy art work it looks like a horror/mystery game rather than light romance.
Also I'd slap a border around the screen caps, possibly a dark red like the forum name text. You could probably use four caps, one for each duo and one for a group shot or one of the path choices.

Seeing this is a very contemporary design would someone like to try a retro/minimalist approach a la the GAF collection?

I'll think about it, I'm rather fond of the black background, I do have a few ideas to spruce it up, need the 'heart attack' texture, though.

Dark red border around the screen shots, some kind of loppdy-loop design.

Aye, I'll just pull something like that outta me arse.

I'm not good at creating things from scratch in Photoshop, my specialty is reconstruction...It just so happens that I can adapt what skills I have to doing something like this

Hey if your doing the work for this idea, Peorth, just do it the way you want to see it in the end. If someone comes up with a idea you think kicks butt and you feel it improves what you came up with or is a challenge to do thats fine also. You want something you can say is prettty good in the end; not confused or messy.

Bit stalled on this project, feeling uninspired. Will continue work when I can

I do like the art, but it looks way too freaky for this kind of game. The snapshots making up a girl looks like the work of a psychopath trying to "build" the image of the "perfect cripple girl" or something. What if the span-shot construct is on the background of the back cover instead of the plain black BG? For it to not be covered, or not entirely, the lettering could be either on its side or over it and the ingame snapshots could be at the other side.

Sorry if it comes out a little rude, that's not what I meant.
