Here's a quick mockup of something I'm working on.


The text on the label may be a little hard to see,
but it says "Steam Save Backup".

What are your thoughts on that idea?

[Arseen]

Why not.

But how big are the back-up files -> Is that cost efficient?

[amarthar]

Well, I'll just find the smallest possible memory cards, cause the backups are really tiny - a couple hundred kilobytes - and who says you can't keep multiple files on one card?

Besides, memory cards can be dirt cheap (just found some 16MB cards for $1/piece)

I like it!

[MisterDaSausage]

Yea it's nice, i like it too!
Now if my PC would be strong enough to play any games...lol I need a new one!

[Marcus_CA]

I like it!

+ having series in one card could be sweet

[Seraph Man]

You're right, the text is a little hard to read. Maybe if it had an outer glow, or something else to help it pop, because the lines are what make it hard to read more than the size of the text.

[amarthar]

I'll see what I can do about that tomorrow (of course bear in mind that this image was shrunk to fit on the preview).

[amarthar]

Seraph: You were right. Just made a test print - the normal font was barely visible, but all it took was to make the font bolder:

Right is normal font, left is bold.

I'll put it up for download soon (along with a dvd cover and disc label).

[Arseen]

Looks nice.

[amarthar]

It'll look better when I print it on proper paper. I was using regular office paper for the test.

BTW the whole set is done:

Thats actually an awesome idea. I'd buy those if you ever thought of selling a few

Really? Where? Is it an online store?

Not really, it's a computer store in my town (and I don't think they do international orders).

Exactly, just head on over to my blog and download the set.
