Super Famicom covers

[PDDestro]

My my patience is the key...

In this case it has allready been replaced though so just download it from where it should be.

When it comes to Jigsaw's work I can't help it! 

[Jigsaw]

Haha, oh OK, I didn't expect it to go so quickly, I had just assumed there had been some sort of slip-up on my end. My bad.

I read in "Home" that admins can modify the covers, how can I send the one I made for Macross so they can fix it? I mean, the one I showed you only has a "RAW Cover" bcuz i dont know how to clean it up xD

btw, Thank u Akumu for the template!

[Akumu]

cesar, if you send me the scans, I can do it.

[cesar2xtreme]

Will do, i'll send you the link through PM.

review it please

The overall layout looks nice, but there's still a few lingering issues.
-The "Scramble Valkyrie" text on the logo is still somewhat difficult to read, and the purpleish hue kind of sticks out without any other design elements using the same colour. Using a light steel blue similar to the colours already found in the Macross logo may work better.
-The spine is still missing the Zamuse logo as well as the correct product code.
-The back looks a little incomplete without the publisher address/information. I'm also wondering about the screenshots... are they the correction dimensions? The Super Famicom generally outputs graphics in a 256x240 or 256x256 resolution, meaning emulator screenshots and the like will be square (or near-square). However, the games were of course meant to be played on a 4:3 display, meaning any such screenshots should be stretched out to a 4:3 ratio for them to look correct. It's a little difficult to tell from the preview but it looks to me like the screenshots are too narrow.

edit: oh, and I forgot to mention, the way the text below the Zamuse logo is cut off on the front is not very attractive...

HERE is a package I put together with (most of) the Japanese fonts I've got installed. I tried to remove a couple of doubles and mostly worthless fonts, but I couldn't be bothered to double check exactly what was included and what was left out. In any event, it should give anyone working with Japanese text a lot more options than simply using the fonts that come with Windows.

I dont know where to find a better pic of the game, and the Samuse Logo....

Im gonna leave you here the PSD file, which contains the raw scans in it, I also handed it to Akumu to see if he can make something better, and make it look more "SuperFamicom" style:

Also ripped the adress that contains a pic of the whole box of the game, I manage to find a raw scan of the picture from the back, and finally know how's the spine for this box:

So I guess were waiting a bit longer as your still pumping out covers. Any idea when you plan on releasing them?

[Akumu]

Real soon, basically I just feel like doing alot of covers, then I get a little bored with it, release them, then repeat the cycle a few weeks later.

Wait for what btw?
