Chicuelo Theme
-
@allahandro Nope, some changes are done but there is still a pending PR. Just look at the github page to see when the last change was made.
@chicuelo @cosmo0 I just noticed that MS Dos is also missing on your list. The system name is just
pcand it is probably not as exclusive as as ResidualVM. :) -
@allahandro @movisman
Done with the merge! you can now see the changes -
@ectoone
I thought pc was ports, I will make a version from there, thanks! -
@chicuelo nah, ports are standalone emulators/tools. Everything that doesn't fit into it's own category. Stuff like Doom, Kodi (if installed the normal way), Raspbian Desktop or Chromium (from the extra repo) will show up in Ports.
Edit:
That's why I actually don't like the Ports image, because it has the potential to have Applications in there. On the other hand, I can't think of anything else that would make a good image for both games and applications. -

@chicuelo Awesome, one last complaint/suggestion. I don't know where you got the controller image for Amiga, but that looks more like a mockup based on a C64. I think it was already suggested to either use an Amiga 500 or Amiga 1200. Those were the most common gaming versions. Or an Amiga 600 if you can't find a good image of the other two.
As an old Amiga user, I almost feel offended by that image. ;) -
Yes, it was me who suggested a stock A500 or A1200 image before - I was an old Amiga user too :) agreed an A500 or A1200 is a good image to use, or A600. However on Wikipedia, there is a decent A500+ image which is top down and transparent - @chicuelo, perhaps this could be used?

or the non-shadow version:

No worries! Is the one I posted above no good? It is an official A500+ machine which followed on from the A500. Perhaps it is not what you are after.
Cheers!

@movisman
This will fit fine with some little adjustments! right now Im traveling on the weekend and when I come back I'll get over it! -
Perfect, sounds good! Have a great weekend! The theme is looking so awesome now, and getting to a much more completed state.
Cheers

Have a nice weekend :)
I'm not sure which one is the worst... :( I think I'll switch to another game... :(
I have the opposite problem with fighting genre, I don't know which I prefer... :D
-
Hey,
I think they are all great - but I don't know which I prefer!
Possibly the Bison one for Fighting, and maybe the one with both players for Puzzle if I had to pick?!
Cheers
-
@movisman Thanks :)
I also prefer Bison for fighting.For Bubble Bobble, I really like the two costumes, I think they're SUPER CUTE <3 but they don't really match the "blister", they look much too "deep" and it makes them look out of place.
The second one is a bit off-color, but looking at it again I think it's not so bad after all. I think I can work with it to make it match the "real" colors.
-
@cosmo0 i honestly think it should be Ryu, if picking a fighter from the SF franchise. My .02¢
-
@celly I like the idea of picking a less-obvious character :)
I'm also having trouble deciding between characters in sports... I have finally found 3D models for Speedball, I will remake the logo :)
The first is front-facing, but it's a robot :(
The second is better-looking, but is not front-facing like in the other genres.
There is no other front-facing Speedball 3D model :/
-
Maybe @chicuelo or somebody else, should make another repo with alternative versions, so if a user wants something different, it can be replaced.
I mean all the different versions could be included in the theme repo, but personally I don't like it when stuff gets bloated with unnecessary files.
If someone makes such a repo, it would also be good if the templates are provided as well. -
-
Yeah, I also liked the second puzzle one too. They are all good but I see what you mean on the costume one. If you decide on the second one and change the colours about a bit, dunno if it is worth reducing the size of the creature slightly as it looks a tiny bit large atm inside the blister?
Regarding the sports one, both of those are really nice. And very pleased you chose Speedball! :) obviously a human is more suitable than the robot, but of course the robot is face on. I wonder, does it matter too much that the human character is half side-on? Some of the others are not totally front facing, some are slightly turned (albeit not as much)?
Cheers

@cosmo0 @movisman @EctoOne
Hi Guys! Im back, great work! here are my thoughts. For the puzzle series I would use the last without a doubt, but adding another ball, they are very big, I think reducing 40/50% the size and adding another will result much better!
For fighting I do prefer bison, but the gloves a bit bigger and maybe replacing the bag with a speedball? if there is too much blank space you could add a mouthguard (I have some png objects from an old work I´ve done so if you need I can provide them). My suggestion for sports: Maybe because I am from South America, but I don't get too much sports, I love the helmet, but the iron ball, the bat and the character I don't know if they represents the activity, I though about something more like this. Tell me what do you think, its just an idea to communicate sports
About making alternative versions. I prefer having only an oficial version, so the quality of the theme remains, otherwise I think it will start changing. I made a theme for Hyperspin and I saw a lot of bad handled variants.
