Hello Everyone! This is my first time posting in the Tell Tale forums! I just wanted to show you all a mock up box art I made for SBCG4AP if it was ever released in a disc season like Sam & Max. I know this is general disscusion but it was the only thread here so I put it here. It's at the link below so tell me what you think? :)

SBCG4AP box art mock up (http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t218/TechNick_1/sbcg4apboxartversion2-1.jpg)

EDIT- Ok TellTale team. I removed the old boxart and fixed it so it now features your logo in the corner and Videlectrix's logo in the top!

Haha awesome!

You might want to take the Adventure Company logo off of there, though, since they have nothing do with this project, and I don't want people see this on Google Images and be confused or something. It's a Telltale Games production.

Well, I just have that there because thats who published the Sam & Max Season 1 game. But I'll try to take it off! :D

I think Strong Bad should be the main focus on the cover instead of Homestar.

Ooze33

05/20/2008, 05:34 pm

Awesome cover!! Though I doubt it would be rated Teen.

burninator17

05/20/2008, 05:47 pm

Rated T for mild language, violence, and awesomeness.

BadStrong

05/20/2008, 05:47 pm

You have to admitt, that looks pretty awesome. If I was in GameStop just looking at that cover for a Homestar game, I'd buy it without knowing anything about it.

didnt they say they wouldnt give strong bad a nunchuck?
still, this is nice! but shouldnt it say "homestar ruiner" somewhere?
still, more work than i would have doe ;)

Yeah, please do.

Also technically speaking, it's not Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Season One. Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is the equivalent of Sam & Max Season One (i.e. a title that spans the full season). Does that make sense? :confused:

Anyway, nice work!

05/21/2008, 07:07 am

ohh, so the second season, should there be one made, will be called something like "strong bad's other game for something else"?....or sbog4se?

also: nice cover thingy...you should check out laserschwert's stuff, he's doing the covery business all the time.

Wow! Thanks for all of the compliments you guys! I wasn't expecting that! :)

Seg

A few more notes about this box art in the same vain of stopping bad information from floating around.

SBCG4AP is NOT a "Pay and Play" game. "Pay and Play" is denotes a game that has DLC content and/or online multiplayer with additional costs. When you buy an episode of SBCG4AP, you get all the content for the epsidoe without paying extra.

The numchuck is not used in SBCG4AP.

Technically we don't have the official ESRB rating, so it would be the RP logo at the moment. Also, the ESRB French & English versions would be used.

The RVL P RRBE game code is for Rayman Raving Rabbids, but since we won't have a season-wide code you might as well just put RVL P R00E.

Geez, at this rate we are going to keep asking him to tweak the box until he makes the final version for us! Free labor FTW?

TechNick

That would be pretty cool to see it appear as the real boxart in the stores if a season ever does come out! :D

TechNick

05/22/2008, 07:24 pm

Well. In light on Seg's request. I have made yet another adjustment to my boxart! I present to you the politically correct version of it--- Seg's Fixed Version? (http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t218/TechNick_1/sbcg4apboxartversion3.png)

I added the RP logo, took away the nunchuck, took out the Pay and Play logo, and added a spine to the side!

tabacco

05/22/2008, 08:38 pm

Haha... I love the Videlectrix logo on the cover in this version :)

leon101

05/22/2008, 10:42 pm

Yeah, the RP makes more sense. The Teen rating was weird, I was like, "Mild language? No one told me heck was a bad word."

Nice box art. :thumbs up:

TechNick

Yeah, the RP makes more sense. The Teen rating was weird, I was like, "Mild language? No one told me heck was a bad word."

Nice box art. :thumbs up:

Well I had the Mild Language there because in most Strong Bad cartoons he says things like "Hell" and "Freaking" and "Crap". And I figured the ESRB would consider that a form of Mild Language. But I digress...

Oh! And thanks for the compliment! :D

Juhsayngul

05/23/2008, 08:31 am

It's much better. Congratulations.

05/23/2008, 11:47 am

Thanks TechNick! Wasn't trying to be picky, but I don't want people to get the incorrect impression on things. I like the ESRB content descriptor!

Juhsayngul

05/23/2008, 04:47 pm

It seems I said "It's not much better" when what I meant to say was that it WAS much better. I'm sorry!

Lena_P

05/23/2008, 06:36 pm

I think that is some of the nicest cut and pasting I've ever seen, and some of the most conscientious comments I've ever seen as well. I'm new to the forum, so I don't know if the telltale crew (telltalers? telltaletellers? tters?) is always this responsive to the threads, but it's so cute how everybody has something different to add, kind of like when you try to hang pictures in a new apartment. (No, a little higher. And to the left.) But I think the game will definitely receive a rating of UA for Unbelievably Awesome. I mean, come on. Look at those graphics!

05/26/2008, 05:15 pm

One other suggestion (because it's been bugging me): Can you do something about the white border around the Telltale logo?

TechNick

05/26/2008, 06:11 pm

One other suggestion (because it's been bugging me): Can you do something about the white border around the Telltale logo?

Well I have that there because A: It's in the shape of a T for the Tell Tale. And B: The magic wand tool doesn't work on the logo. It's a coloring thing.

Do you really think rated T,maybe for violence and comic mischeif
but for language....hmmmm, I don't know...

zipi23

05/28/2008, 03:08 am

that's really cool! but does this game really have dolby pro logic II? that would be awsome if it does.

xChri5x

05/28/2008, 03:27 am

Since it's a fan cover I'd say none of the specs are official.

zipi23

06/11/2008, 10:15 am

If you are still making the cover, they revealed that ESRB rated it T.

06/16/2008, 12:17 pm

I'm not attempting to steal your thunder, but I had a shot of my own (http://i25.tinypic.com/t5rnmd.png). I started with the back first, so as you can see the front cover is quite poorly done and sloppy!

StrongMatt

06/16/2008, 12:18 pm

Very nice! The back cover anyway...

dentbuds

06/16/2008, 03:14 pm

pretty good technick. but for your new version, i find there is too much space where it shows the wiimote. and where it shows the tell tale logo, it shows the white around it and it looks kinda like 3 squeres more then it does circles. but other then that, i would probably buy it. it kinda makes me want to make something like it. and one question, did you purposely spell some words wrong? good job!

Greetings, fallows. I'm Mr. Shmallow.
OK, not really.
I love the boxart TechNick! Great jorb! Only thing that bugs me about it (and I can't believe, after all the revisions you've been asked to make, that no one pointed this out).
Awsome has an "e" after the w. Awesome. Like you put above SB on the back cover.
It's a great mockup, even professional looking, except for that slight typo, which gives it that whole "a fan made this in like 10 minutes" air about it. And I know you spent waaaaay longer than that on this!

Again, not taking away from the awesomeness of your box art, because it is awesome. That was just bugging me. ;-)

I use GIMP, though I would assume the functions like this are about the same. I'm probably wrong, but here's how to do it in GIMP. Go to Layers-Transparencies-Add Alpha Channel. Then select what you want to get rid of, and press delete (not backspace, delete). Then it'll be a transparency, and the ugly white stuff will be gone.

Snicklin

12/10/2008, 12:12 pm

I can do that on Flash.

poohead900

12/10/2008, 12:13 pm

I was just confused about what he meant by ugly white stuff. In my few photo-chops, I haven't had any reason to mask anything. I cop out with layer blending!

Count me in, I like its simplicity and awesomeness. It would be totally Strong Bad-esque if someone saw that in the store and bought it because of the "concept art" itself.

I think Maybe they could make a DS adaption, that uses touching, like point and click
The Japanese could have it on the newish DSi, in DSiWare. Only out in japan currently, Maybe even design us some new seasons speculation boxart for all the different platforms, even with 2 extra episodes storylines in the handhelds with 2 of them fused, than the console and computer.

If it weren't for the little bit of blur issue with Strong Bad and the Strong Badia fence, I'd have to say that's the best yet.

Edit: Awww.... Screw it, that's the best one so far.

I use GIMP, though I would assume the functions like this are about the same. I'm probably wrong, but here's how to do it in GIMP. Go to Layers-Transparencies-Add Alpha Channel. Then select what you want to get rid of, and press delete (not backspace, delete). Then it'll be a transparency, and the ugly white stuff will be gone.

Are you being paid to promote GIMP? You've mentioned like 5 times now.

On topic: These are all so awesome.

What? No. No. No. I mean, no. Never. No. What? No. I only talk about GIMP so much because it's the best program ever, and everyone should download it! NOW! It's free-ee!
