Rev Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I may be trying to make new set of Intellivision overlay sets. depends on how much is involved. Just in the concept/idea stage. I think there is enough interest to warrent new sets being made. What you guys think? Anyway, here is the style direction i was thinking of doing. A in game screen but altered a little in retro neon style or something. Note: this is VERY early mock up, no where near finished, so dont critisize the DPI quality. Anyone have some other good ideas? I would like them all to match and i dont want to copy any of the Orphan Overlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionDude Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 So you're going for a see-through neon look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 So you're going for a see-through neon look? do you mean 'see through' as in like it is printed on a clear plastic sheet and you can actually see through it? or just that it kinda looks "see through" ?

Rev Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 How about this, Dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphokie Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 How would it look when you put the "button" images on there (like for selecting players, etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 I was thinking of 'clear' buttons. where you could see through them and see the screen in the baackground. sound good? i will work up a sample. Give me suggestions by all means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Darrin9999 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I like it! Same here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 They are artsy looking, but still cool. I'm not sure what i meant Rev. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphokie Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Having a "clear" spot for each button would work. For Popeye, it looks like you'd need 1-4 and Enter showing on the overlay. You might just be able to integrate the numbers in the overlay pic (like Utopia or Maze-a-tron). Just don"t have any "characters" in those spaces.

Yeah, i will have to go through every game and make adjustments. Alot of work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphokie Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Of course, if you're going to do a set of overlays, that's a lot of work, anyway. I like the idea of using a screen cap as the basis for them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I too like the game play idea. My other thought would be that there are some talented artists on AA (as pimpmaul has recently demonstrated) and maybe it would be worthwhile having a chat with a couple of them to see what sort of interpretations they might offer up. Another question to answer would be what will the games list be? Will it be the same as the Series 3 OO's, as some of the unreleased games from that have been released and/or likely will be. Whatever you decide I will obviously support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 I was thinking of just the original games that did not have them. no homebrews or unreleased games. i dont see the point of having an overlay for a game you never would play. and one of those games may eventually come out as a homebrew anyway. down the road i could make overlays of the other games and redesign them.
