ok ill work on it, J.

[ughwtf]

a potential base for CVS Kula Diamon.
what do you think?


width conversion= 20%+ over KoF 100%

That's not CVS, that's just KOF with a new palette.

Rough draft of a winscreen I'm working on. Don't worry about the BG. At the time I initially started it, I wanted to have blue over the stage background like in some KoF games, so I needed something colorful to test it with. However, I'm scrapping that idea and I want to go for something more flashy now, like CvS/CvS2's winscreens. This means having an animated background that looks nice and shiny. :3


However, TV static and stars and shooting lines are overused, fire is too damn hard, and I'm not much of a... graphic... render... guy. (in other words, not like those guys who make sigs =P) Neither I nor those guys are animators, so that is also an issue.


Any ideas? Obviously this screen looks nothing like what I described I want yet.

I dunno if rips from other games are acceptable, but I know certain people who ripped BBB's Big Bang Break background, which looks tres sweet.

[Jesuszilla]

I'd rather be original with it, but thanks for the info anyway.

[Rednavi]

particle illusion anyone?? 

I can work on something if you want, here my example of a winquote screen:


of course, I understand the game must have a new background, it's just an image of my work, fully animated btw...

EDIT: I can also work on the super bg finish if you want

K-Groove example from CVSW

The text/font choice is horrible, imo. The colors are also way too bright.

[Jesuszilla]

Agreed. WAY too bright.

The text/font choice is horrible, imo. The colors are also way too bright.

I'm using those until I get a better set of fonts 

Agreed. WAY too bright.

low your bright settings on your computer 

wait.. the bight thing is about the first or the second screnshot

[Jesuszilla]

Second.

[Allah-Saurus]

If you still need some artwork I'm now completely free to do anything, either 2d or 3d. Just tell me what you want doing on here and I'll see if I can do it.

[Jesuszilla]

Character artwork. UGHWTF could use some help there.


I would say something about stages, but we can't properly ask help for something we have no concept of at the moment...

[Jesuszilla]

Special thanks goes to TempesT of HEGFX for making the BG.

Well it's about time I say that while I'd like to stick to the general layout here, I know that it is beyond our power to be able to make this more... Exciting. It needs to MOVE.



Anyone here have good experience with designing select screens?


EDIT: Here's a mock-up of what I think might be the best idea:



Still doesn't change the fact that there needs to be more stuff going on in the background, though.

[Insanius]

I had this great idea before I realized it couldn't be done in mugen OH WELL.

In the meantime, I did some brainstorming for things that you could have in the background:
Random scrolling text (Everyone and their mother does this)
Flying through space (Collision course for Earth!)
Random lightning strikes (Ok, not actually random.)
Screenshots or short clips of source games that move and fade in and out.

More later

huge military doors that read "AREA 51" and then open to reveal the cast. Also would require the Super Cosplay Wars select screen theme
