@scannigan said in Pixel Art Themed Bartop Arcade:

@Capeman looks like someone may have pinched your design to enter the Xcade competition :) https://www.xcade.co.uk/comp_b19c.html

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. People are the absolute worst!

I sent an email to the website hosting this content pointing out this error. I will post here if they respond negatively.

Good afternoon. It was brought to my attention that somebody has stolen a design that I created made and entered it in your bartop artwork competition.
004 - ROB has taken the design that I created and posted to the Retropie forums almost a year ago and entered it in your contest. As a maker and designer i find this deeply disappointing and I am hoping you will do the right thing and either remove my design from your contest or attribute it properly.
See my original post here:

I can provide proof of original creation given i have never shared the original photoshop assets.
Thanks, and i hope to hear from you soon.

Well Xcade is a cool company!

I sent them the email above and they quickly responded by banning the guy who tried to enter the contest using my design. That's pretty rad.

I think I'm going to make a pixel theme art for sharing with the community. I'll post it on a forum thread later on when i get it done.

@hatfield44

@capeman do you have the high resolution file .. it’s a great image. I would like to expand it to fit on my full size cabinet

frankie842 · 17 Sept 2017, 21:53

@hatfield44 Could you send me the file please? Or if you don't mind, sharing how you recreated this? Thanks

frankie842 · 17 Sept 2017, 22:43

@capeman Hi there. Great job fella. Would you be willing to sell me your file? I'd pay what you deem fair. Thanks

rolrod66 · 19 Sept 2017, 04:23

@capeman if you want me to pay for the file i will.
I just need a high resolution image to be from the bottom to about half what up on the cabinet roughly 40” H x 32”W

Hi @Capeman,

I am building my first bartop and i'm very impressed with this artwork, i understand you do not want to share your work but please understand.

My email is jc.desousa9@gmail.com it would be awesome if you could share anything for this artwork, if you can't how can i make collage pixel perfect artwork and upscale to high resolution with no quality loss?

Thanks

@hatfield44 I know this was almost a year ago but would you be able to send me the high res images? Tim4717@gmail.com

tim4717 · 5 May 2018, 09:49

Has anyone bought from @arcade123 if so how is the quality? Smooth? Not all grainy looking?

tim4717 · 15 May 2018, 09:42

@Capeman did you ever make these public or is there any way of helping me out with more info on this.? Love the idea and want to try doing something similar...

Invisible89 · 3 Jan 2019, 15:07

G'day @Capeman ,

I had been searching for a pixel themed design for my first bartop arcade when I came across your post. It looks amazing! You have done a great job.

I was going to ask you to share the print file, until I saw all of the comments in this thread. Because of that, I tried to create my own pixel themed design, with some heavy influence from yours - which you are right by the way. Doing your own from scratch is a much better feeling of accomplishment than just downloading or buying it from someone else! :)

It's not completely done yet as the right panel is just a flip of the left so the text and some of the pics are bit off. But here's my pixel based theme - would appreciate thoughts and feedback, etc.

Cheers,
Pat

@PatrickTee looks great! I like the logos across the top! Lots of good sprites on there that I didn’t even think to use! Post side 2 when you finish up, I’d like to see it all done.

PatrickTee · 7 Jan 2019, 10:13

Thanks @Capeman ! Coming from you, that’s a massive compliment! I did have issues finding some characters at printing quality. Was there a specific place you found them, or did you just have to recreate some?

Also, I want to go with the Arcade Forge kit, however, once I take into account postage, it’s almost $500 AUD (which is a lot).

Do you know of any Australian kits, or actual finished files to get a CNC Router company in Australia to cut them?
