Amiibo splashscreen

Dang, how do you do this?

[lilbud]

@itsnitro Usually with Photoshop. I first have to pick a game or company and search for the font to use. It has to be free because I'm not spending $70 bucks on 1 font file for 1 project. Then I stylize the "Retropie" text in the font so it looks like the logo. The amiibo one was simple. But one like the Sargent Pepper drum head was difficult. With each letter of "Jools" having a different gradient, plus having to curve the text to match the rest of the drum head.

This one took too damn long but here it is.

The japanese text is retro pie instead of one whole word. And I think its correct...paging @FlyingTomahawk

Thoughts?

@itsnitro Battle Zone alike ?
Very 80's style in any case.

@lilbud Kudos for My Hero Academia. Can I suggest to put all images on Imgur Alubm or Github so they can be easily downloaded. There are too many of them and scrolling for so long is a drag.

TADA!:
https://github.com/HerbFargus/retropie-splashscreens-extra

That repo hasn't been updated with recent ones. Aren't these lilbuds splashscreens?

[meleu]

@Hex From time to time contributors submit PRs to that repo and @herb_fargus usually merges them.
Not always @lilbud remember to submit his work to the repo and another contributor does it... I submitted some splashscreens made by @Rookervik recently.

Summing up: there's no really uptodate repo with those images, but retropie-splashscreens-extra repo seems to be the best place to look for them.

edit: by the way, you can download every image of the repo using the splashscreen scriptmodule (RetroPie-Setup).

@meleu To be honest, I forget about the splashscreen repo sometimes. All of my splashscreens are either stored on my computer, this post, or some are on Github.

@lilbud if you get github desktop you can create a repository and link it to a folder location on your computer. Every file you put into that folder is then updated in github desktop and all you need to do is commit them and push to the repository. It is 2 clicks of a button and all your files are updated to github. Pretty slick and all the files are on your computer.

[lilbud]

@TMNTturtlguy Not a fan of GitHub desktop, pretty much crashed my computer last time I tried to run it.

[TMNTturtlguy]

@lilbud huh, I use it and it works great, never had an issue.

@UDb23 Yeah, I chose for the 80s style because I like the 80s. :D

Also, how do I add my splashscreen to the github repo?

[spruce_m00se]
