Don't forget all your C7 in-game gfx, which'll be showcased as well

Forgot about that... and the LadyBug graphics as well.

 

How is C7 coming along? I haven't seen anything about it since the title screen was finished.

Unfortunately that is still the current version

 

I had hoped to get some more done for MGC, but I was on a business trip most of last week. Also I'm unsure wether I should seriously start working on it right now, since I'll have a definite break again during the WC

You're doing a Four-Play demo label for the Midwest Gaming Classic? How will it compare to the release version you've been working on? I find that interesting because in the past, Albert has made text labels for event demos.

It's identical. I just wanted to tweak a couple of the faces and make a couple of other minor adjustments to it. It doesn't say "demo" or anything. For all intents and purposes, it's the release version of the label (he's only printing up one for the show, as far as I know).

 

I think it's just because the artwork was already 99% done that he's going with that as opposed to a text-only label. (He did that previously with the demo version of RPS, too.)

If it's not too late, I think it's a good idea to add a little something to the label to make it distinguishalble from a release version.

The best thing would be to just have Albert write "Demo Version" across it with a Sharpie, at this point. I think there's only going to be one demo cart, and it's just for the show. I'm sure it's printed and on the cart by now.

Well... the Conquest of Mars manual is done, and I was right, it was a couple of long nights. I finally went to bed after 7:00 AM.

 

But I think Albert should be set for the show now, and the manual came out looking pretty good. John likes it - so that's what's important. It wouldn't be a lot of fun to lay out a 16 page manual, and have to re-do the whole thing.

another one which Albert hasn't announced yet...

I guess you mean Rainbow Invaders, unless there is another unannounced project out there. Anyway, congratulations on your winning label.

Unless I'm mistaken, Rainbow Invaders has been on the MGC New Game list since it was put up.

Yeah, I sometimes do coding while I'm in the WC, too. Aren't laptops great?

I meant Nathan's label. Albert posted that he won only last night.

Thanks!

 

That was the one. The game was announced, but not the label. I was told last week, so I could make a couple of changes to it, and add some artwork to Tony Morse's manual in time for MGC. Not sure why the official announcement took so long, but I know Albert's been absolutely swamped getting ready for the show.

Hi Nathan!

 

Just thought to tell you that your Conquest of Mars label is one of your best works ever! It must've been residing in a blind spot somehow, because it was just today that I had a first full glory look at it in the store. Excellent

Thanks, Manuel! It was fun to work on. A little different than what I ususally do, but that's one of the reasons I like working on game labels - it gives me a chance to try new stuff.
