BitBox N64 Cover Art Bounty Board

[larryinc64]

I'll get on it very soon, school is almost done for me.

When will the Bitboxes be availible to buy? ATM I can only see the NES and SNES boxes.

I get out of school on Thursday, I'll get the templates done then. I'm still trying to figure out a effective way to make the spines as well, I'll elaborate with pictures later in the week. I got a 5 page essay to write due Wednesday and some stories to read for Tuesday.

I'm toying with ether having just a green filler part, or each spine will have to have the spine recreated so the Logo is visible.

@SAG, Can I get a shot of a couple N64 cases on a shelf?

The green dead zones between the visible spine and front, where the Logo can't bee.

Hey guys to give this project a little kick in the butt I am upping bounty to $2/ea., but ONLY for the first 100 I receive. I know one or two of you already have some done so those would count. I am going to start working on the N64 selection software for the site. I hope to have the N64 cases listed no later than the end of May.

If give me the approved horizontal template I'll be finished with my covers in two days.

I don't have one yet.

Hopefully by the end of this month. If you don't want us to do art printing then we can sell you them now. We will need to do custom order, just e-mail orders{at}stoneagegamer{dot}com.

I converted some of my Vertical covers.

Batch 2:
Harvest Moon 64
Knife Edge Nose Gunner
The Legend Of Zelda: OOT (Gold BG and Collectors Edition versions)
Yoshi Story
Shadow Man
War Gods

Batch 1:
Mario Kart 64
Paper Mario
Super Mario 64

Calling:
Banjo Kazzoie and Tooie
007 Goldeneye
Conkers BFD
DK64
Mario Party 1-2-3

I need to convert some of these to UGC, I fixed up or remade most of them.

@SAG - if you can show me with a few of my covers, I want to see where the no see zone is.

On Sega Nomadman's covers where he just stretched the spine, parts are not viable. 'The Legend Of' and 'Ocarina Of Time' on his OOT cover, and 'Makers' on his Mischief Makers cover are in the dead zone. Also just stretching the spine looks bad.

The spines are best if recreated, by cutting out the logo, centering it and green-ing the BG. The SNES games did not have this problem because the spine is just black.
This is time consuming, so I'm fooling around with adding a green border, but that may look bad. I want to see how they look lined up to see how much of the dead zone is visible.

The spines are the most important part of the cover in a way, it's what you are going to see the most.

[SegaNomadman]

Alright, I did not realize where the "no-zone" was at sorry about that. I will work on fixing the covers to make the acceptable for release.

Okay, but that zone is actually shown here:


The N64 Bit boxes are the exact same as the SNES. The only difference is the cart area on the inside. I will see if my manager can print some off and put them on a shelf.

[larryinc64]

There are blue guidelines on the Photoshop template. The area is basically were the White N64 box is.




Here is the gradient map:

My guy didn't seem to dot he best centering the cover art in the cases, but some of them are centered. Hopefully this gives you an idea.

[larryinc64]

Ok, so the dead zone is not that bad, but it still should be remade instead of stretched.

[Raignis]

Is there going to be a link to the N64 covers soon? I'm itching to start looking.

[StoneAgeGamer]

Any news, we are re-launching the site next weekend. We were hoping to get the N64 cases listed.

[xspankyxduckx]

If covers need to be made let me know. I need to star putting my stuff in cases so yes how much will these run?
