Telltale Games

*GuruGuru214* · 02/06/2010, 12:27 am

Nope, it was so much easier than that. I was originally going to do something similar to that to make the label image and just Photoshop it onto a picture of an Atari cartridge. It'd have to be a straight-on shot, though, because I'm totally incompetent with Photoshop. Changing the label font would've been a matter of finding enough label images with all the letters I needed. But when I hit Google for images, I found this.

Now, I was still going to just Photoshop the label onto a picture of the cartridge, but...incompetent as I am, I couldn't make the rounded corners transparent instead of white. So I decided it would be easier to print it and attach it to a real cartridge. But I didn't want to ruin a real cartridge, so it's only loosely secured with tape.

Also, I nearly didn't think to include the second copyright, and then when I did remember, I almost put LucasArts, but I thought that Lucasfilm Games would be a nice touch. Here's the label image. Click it for a larger version.

By the way, the cartridge is Space Invaders. I probably should've used my second copy of E.T. instead.

But you somehow managed to make the paper feel "used" and cut the corners perfectly (presuming the paper you printed it on was A4 letter), it doesn't feel like scissors cut for a bit there.

Btw, I rarely say that, but... nice work.

Also, if you'd known how easy it is to do the same thing in Photoshop, you'd be quite surprised.

Oh, I know how easy it can be...for anyone decent at it. I use Photoshop every once in a while, but it's rare that I want to do anything that I can't do just as well or better in MS Paint.

Anyway, thanks. I really didn't do anything to the paper, except sort of try to curl it slightly so it would curl down instead of up (though when I got up this morning, it had curled up overnight anyway). And I probably could've done better on the cutting. When I took the label off, I saw just a tiny bit of white left on the edge.

Artists are always the ones most critical of their own work. It looks great.

...now, we just need someone to design an Arcade cabinet for Tales.

I'm really hoping they go back to disc authentication and actually have the video content accessible from a DVD player. These two missing features killed the W+G DVD in my opinion.

Which 2 missing features?

Disc authentification (rather than online activation) and being able to read video content on a DVD player.

Chyron8472 · 02/21/2010, 07:35 pm

Meh. doesn't disc authentication mean that you'd have to keep the disc in the drive to play the game? I hate that. Give me a no-cd version any day.

Also, imo having content readable on a dvd player might be a perk but is unnecessary. Getting cutscene commentaries and stuff, sure, but idc if I have to view it on my computer.

jweir · 02/21/2010, 08:06 pm

I appreciate a no-disc version any day, but that's what the downloads are for. What's the point in requesting the disc version when it's essentially just the downloaded versions? I understand there are extras, but it seems cheaply done with just dropping a folder on with them, as compared to the other discs I've gotten from Telltale. At this point, if this is how they are going, I wish they'd just offer a download of an .iso file. I don't want to pay money (granted it's only shipping, but it's still money) for something I could easily just make myself.

And some people prefer both the other way. Should they just be damned just because you didn't find it necessary?

In any way, if the wishes of said others are forfilled, you still got what you wanted too, because you can get the no-CD version (downloads), and can just put the DVD disk in your PC player. I am sure it got a DVD-movie program, no?

True. My only thought regarding DVD-Player content was that perhaps it uses an older form of file compression thereby taking up more room on the disc so as to hold less content. But, if you're saying that you figure they'd leave it off altogether rather than replace it with more content that, having a higher file compression, would allow for more stuff even though you'd require a computer to view it... well I don't think I like that idea at all. =\
