ziggystar Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Greetings Artists, Irata's Quest, Our latest Atari 5200 game is nearing completion. We will have it ready by the end of September if all goes well. We still need a label. No need for a contest, just winner we choose will get a free autographed copy of the game. Please follow the template of our previous releases, and send your entry in low res .jpg to our email. We will then request of the winner a high res bmp or the like. For those of you wondering. We are now accepting pre-orders as well. thanks! John Swiderski President, Mean Hamster Software Inc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnice Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 No wonder we haven't heard much about updates on this game: He's probably been super-busy getting this finished! Yes, it would be great to see more screen shots of the "doomed isle." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Indeed. Get us psyched up even more than we already are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Any thoughts on an Atari800 version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi everyone, I just finished (mostly) my work on a label for this game, and I think it turned out pretty well. Unfortunately, I don't have any web space at the moment to host this picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 That turned out a bit large on here! Can anyone else see this label? Hope this worked. Let me know what you think! I decided that, as this game was inspired by The Legend of Zelda, I should go with a Nintendo-inspired label. I could add a Fuji symbol towards the bottom somewhere, if that would help...

Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I can see it. Love the Nintendo homage. I may see if I can cook somethin' up for Irata soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Good stuff!!! re-sized for your convenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 This label might make somebody mad. Lets change a few more elements please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Who has a lame enough life to get mad at a lable?? Is that design copyrighted or something??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I think it could be considered a satire of the Nintendo label, and thus okay. Plus it doesn't actually say Nintendo anywhere. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Good point. It's just scary out there, with companies like microsoft going after Lindows because the name sounds like windows and making them change it to linspire.

jnice Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi again, I appreciate all the comments so far on this. I'm going to stay neutral on this sudden debate (I'm not using that word in a negative way!) about the label. I may do some alterations on this thing tonight and make it slightly more "Atari"-looking, while trying not to lose the "Nintendo" feel of the label. I've been struggling for ideas on how to do this. Anyway, I'll post anything if I come up with something different. Thanks, moycon, for resizing that label. It's a bit easier to visualize as a whole now!

Vic George 2K3 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 How about limited edition gold carts? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Is there anything you can do to up the color count of the game? I was thinking you could throw a palette change in a DLI between the status screen and the main display. It just looks a little limited in the color department. Are you using sprites at all? It looks like the main character is playfield graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Recount colors used. Character is sprites. there is a dli. 2 of them actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi John, Thanks for a new "glimpse" of the game! Looks like some things have changed since the old demo...colors look brighter, and I think that's a good thing. Is it my imagination, or did the main character get a slight facelift? "Overworld" (to borrow a phrase from the old Zelda game) map is changed...it looks like this means that the world has expanded a bit! I'm really looking forward to playing this game.
