Title: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Kaleo on July 15, 2008, 10:26:12 am: Since some Hungarian people have decided to distribute Tremulous with such shitty box art, I though, "Why not make my own for fun".

Then I thought "Why not get the Trem community to do it as well".

Here's a template for a DVD cover (http://www.cd-fulfillment.com/i/amaray-insert-template.jpg). Lets see your Photoshop/Illustrator skills.

Very nice! The tyrant looks like it overlaps the battlesuit+luci picture, though.

The name of the development team.

My brother didnt like all of the white, so I did them all in black, too:

i dont think i need to give you a reference for the static image
the rest of the pics are from: http://janvanderweg.com/pics/tremulous/

NOTE: this is for 1.2!
also, please not the conveniently placed gnu and creative commons icons!
the back cover was meant to look like the screen on a ckit.
i also forgot to put werewulf's new rant model, but.. o well

The template is kinda wrong though, it's not a DVD "video" disc.
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Odin on July 24, 2008, 07:44:25 am: You spelled "DarkLegion" wrong.
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Ellohir on July 24, 2008, 08:41:34 am: I love the last cover, it's simple but nice to see. The back should include in-game screenshots, though.
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Seffylight on July 24, 2008, 10:55:00 am: Those covers are nice, but the backs look horrendous.
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: {7}wrath on July 24, 2008, 02:23:38 pm: The top two images are ingame. How else can i fix the back?

EDIT: thx odin, if i ever get around to redoing them I will fix that.

Well, don't do them blue/white. And there is definitely a scary alien missing. Like a Tyrant or a Goon pouncing or something. Or a hord of dretches swarming a human body. Something like that. The symbol on the front is nice, yet to someone without prior knowledge it does not resemble anything - meaning: put an alien on the front cover. I'd like to see a cover with that one great Tyrant remake picture someone posted on these forums. It was a Tyrant wallpaper.

Post by: UniqPhoeniX on July 27, 2008, 02:36:25 am: I think the box should also say online game / internet connection required or sumthin
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: {7}wrath on July 27, 2008, 03:08:33 am: i put that on the cd label. ill add it to the box too.
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Lava Croft on July 27, 2008, 03:23:44 am: Since this is a box for a non-existent 1.2 version of Tremulous, you might as well replace that ugly GNU with the GPLv3 logo.
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Odin on July 27, 2008, 04:20:53 am: Tremulous isn't licensed under the GPLv3.

Tremulous isn't licensed under the GPLv3.
I don't think you took the brain power to understand what Lava said, read it again and focus on "non-existent" and "might as well."

i haven't heard anything that would lead me to believe the license on the code will change (gpl version 2 or later)
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Thorn on July 27, 2008, 06:10:48 am: Probably not then... I just heard something along those lines in passing chatter.
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Lava Croft on July 27, 2008, 07:16:06 am: Stop believing all the chatter that passes.
Title: Re: Create Tremulous Box Art!
Post by: Kaleo on July 28, 2008, 02:33:40 am: Chatter is good?
