Splashscreens

@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.

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

@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

where do you get your fonts from ? id like to do an R-type one.

A Former User

I usually search up "cool fonts" or "mario fonts" and that's how it gets me directly to the font itself.

Google is your friend. :D

lilbud

@spruce_m00se Wherever I can find them for free.

lilbud

@itsnitro Exactly, search for fonts the same way you'd look for ROMs.

spruce_m00se

here we go, it turned out to not be that hard to make this from the original image without the font, a little microsoft paint action and its done.

I would be the happiest man in the world if you could make a Jojo's bizarre adventure Splashscreen.

@lilbud hey buddy. have got my cab set up pretty much now looking all pretty and all and am loving your splashscreens. any chance of a pac-land themed one? thanks again...

lilbud

@jozzy1 No chance, love to but can't. Photoshop crashed and lost all work.

@spruce_m00se where did the original image come from? "licensed to nintendo of america"? Was this the virtual console version? If it's not, I'm 100% confused.

spruce_m00se

@felleg you know what? I have no idea, lol, I googled it on my lunch break and just picked the one closest to what I remember. it must be a virtual console version, Im pretty sure Im going to have to change it anyway to the sega version, as thats what I played as a kid. I might make some whitty text for people to read instead of leaving it as normal.

Im half playing with the idea of making an intro video like in the game but with these letters.

@lilbud no worries mate. gutted about your hard drive though...

lilbud

@jozzy1 No, photoshop crashed. My hard drive is fine.

I've suffered a few hard drive failures before, they are not fun at all

spruce_m00se

@lilbud why woudl you lose all your work from photoshop crashing ? surely you have the .psd files still?
I had a hdd drive crash after it tured 13 months old, it wasnt a great experience, I managed to recover all files but one though.
