Retrorama Comic Theme

[gaavoid]

@lipebello Hey. Some nice adjustments made on this update. Larger video/game art is always a good thing ;)
Just waiting on a PC Engine SuperGrafx theme in a forthcoming update (hint, hint).
We're a little spoiled for choice with themes now, but I think this one is becoming my favourite. Great work.

[lipebello]

@gaavoid thanks! i'll draw supergrafx for the next update.
@Hex Thanks!

@lipebello this is really a one of a kind theme, I've been following it since you started posting updates on your YouTube channel!
Since you are open to requests, can I suggest adding Intellivision to your list?

[lipebello]

@msheehan79 Thank you! Sure thing, Intellivision will be on the next updates

Fingers crossed that this will be included in the GitHub repository for ES themes. :) It would be a breeze to update with the quick update script. If not, it's ok too! It's well worth it. My main theme right now, no intention of changing.

@felleg said in Retrorama Comic Theme:

Are you by chance talking about Retrorama? It's already available on esthemes!

[felleg]

@meleu ...
Wow, you're totally right, I feel dumb. This is in fact how I found out about the theme, now that I think about it! xD sorry for my confusion, it's late. Time to sleep.

[lipebello]

@felleg, the only thing that i didn't put on github was the intro, but you can download it here:

[felleg]

@lipebello Haha, I already knew about this one because I'm subscribed to your channel! :) Here's some quick feedback about it:

nitpick: length... I personally love video splashscreens that keep it under 15 seconds. To give you an example, here's what I'm using right now (the first 9 seconds of this video)

PRAISE: OMG THE GLITCH EFFECT AT THE END. This is the coolest thing I've yet seen in a splashscreen and I want all my splashscreens to end this way now.

Love your work lipebello, thanks for blessing us!

@felleg i just found my new boot video, thanks thats hard to beat

[lipebello]

@felleg i've never made a video before, but a lot of people are asking for a marvel intro to match the theme that i decided to make it. So i looked on some retropie intros on youtube and they all had almost a minute each.
I thought it was too long, since the marvel intro only have 35 seconds, so i make a 40sec intro, but i though that VHS overlay was so awesome, that i had to add it to the end, since the whole theme porpose is to be nostalgic.

any shot of colecovision making the list? and wanted to say you did an amazing job with this theme and intro.

[lipebello]

@8bithero Thanks! sure thing, i already have the drawings for colecovision made for the next update

@lipebello Can you add system custom-collectionsplease?
It's just so a lovely theme and it lacks support of the 4th auto-system :(

[lipebello]

@cyperghost Sure, but what it does? never knew that there was a 4th system on ES, thanks for letting me know

[HurricaneFan]

@lipebello It's a new feature coming soon that allows people to make custom game lists.

Like All Super Mario Bros games or All Mega Man games.

[cyperghost]

@lipebello Not now... it's just in testing branch :) But will hopefully released soon

[lipebello]

@hurricanefan, @cyperghost. That is awesome! i was doing manuallly to cps games and stuff. So, if i make a system called "mario" and make a collection named "mario", it will show, but if i don't have a system with that name, it will show the custom-collections instead?

[meleu]

@lipebello Not yet, but it is the goal of the current @pjft work (more info in that thread @cyperghost linked above).

[HurricaneFan]

@lipebello The beta build does exactly what you described. If you create a collection from a theme folder it will link your folder to the new collection. If you don't have a folder you want to link, you create a collection that shows up in Custom Collections which is probably going to be named "Collections" once its released.

It might be a week or two before it gets merged into the master branch of EmulationStation.
