Hey guys whats up , its good to be back  :D
im here to present a new screenpack im working on
its still in the early stages but i want this one to be way more better then my TF2 one since im putting more work into it
so im still working on the Main Menu Screen, im still finishing the sprites for it lol
but i can talk about it still
heres a screenshot of how the Main Menu looks at the moment:


well in this screenpack im trying to go towards a more cinematic type of screenpack with Marvel vs Capcom characters , im going to try fitting more fighting series like KoF and so on , im also trying to create a more serious type project since like the TF2 one was more for giggles i guess and i dont want this one to be like it
at the moment im very inspired by Street Fighter 3rd Strike Online Edition and obviously about Marvel vs Capcom 3 (Ultimate to be exact)

but yea i wanted to know what you guys think about it with all this info haha
have a good day

Well Guys im glad to say that i finished the animations of the video in the screenpack , but at the same time im sad that it ended up being a really big file its 500 mb , il try compressing it to be smaller later but a good thing is that the Select Screen sprites are all ready in side the sff so its just the coding
i made this video to show how the video looks like its a 1min animation

well guys heres the 1st prototype of the SS since its similar to injustice the custom version might have between 32 or 40 but the normal version it might go with near 100 or so depends
 
heres is the prototype of the custom version , im still working on it so some stuff inst center and the font i used is just randomly picked

hey guys
i havent posted any news on the screenpack so i guess is about time to give a quick update
i have been having alot of problems with the select screen and im even thinking of redesigning a new one but im doing my best to not do that
i started working on the VS screen as well il probably post a picture of it when i finish all the sprites
and about the lifebars im making i havent been working on them that much because like i said im having problems with the select screen so i have been focusing more on it then the rest

but yea sorry for the late update , im doing the best i can to make this work and thanks for reading i guess

     Posted: March 25, 2014, 05:21:02 am
New Update
well guys i manage to re design a new select screen and still manage to give it some what the Injustice look
it was difficult but in the end i manage to get around it, at the moment im organizing the positioning of the names and portraits so i havent worked on the background of it but i already started re designing it

thx for reading

Look beautiful! I like it. Maybe you can make an "X" shape on the small port. Of course that if you want to add more slots.

Well time for an update for this screenpack , its been awhile lol
1st things 1st
i want to thank Hungry Wolf for all the help he gave me because if he didnt help me i would still be stuck on the select screen lol so again thanks alot dude i really appreciate it

now for the update
-i finally started working on this screenpack again (duh) and i figure im going to include some stages already because (spoilers) the stage select will be portrait based so i dont want to annoy you guys that much about that because you know maybe some of you find making custom portraits annoying , so im going to include between 10 to 15 stages in it (il put the stage names later when i have the portraits done)
-im redesigning some stuff for the Select Screen mainly the portrait holders i want them to look HD or so instead of that look of "quick made" you know
- im making a new interface for the Select Screen menu (the Slots and everything arent going to change what i mean by "new interface" is new name holders)

and yea thats what i got so far guys i hope its enough for now lol
i guess i can give out a funny thing and show you guys the 1st sketch i did for Project Final Wars , some of you might get a laugh at it lol and that way you know how i come up with ideas for new projects:

Sketch:

No worries Dark!
I was happy to help, and when your ready send me what you have and i'll give you more advise :)


LOL .. those drawings.. I do the same thing haha.
I would show you my beat up sketches but I tossed my notebook because I dropped something on it while it was sitting in my truck.
That reminds me I need a new one.
Keep it up Dark, it looks like you have some motivation going on.
Good luck my friend.

Hey Guys!!!
so yea im here if the 1st update in a while for this screenpack lol
and they are kinda minor i guess lol and i shouldnt really show you guys how its looking because i just added the stuff to see if it would fit (some stuff)
so forgive me for the disorganized Select Screen.
so 1st update!!!

added an animated spinning world lol i thouhgt it would make stuff more bright and maybe colorful because you know this is a Marvel inspired screenpack and people who played Marvel games know that those games a very active and colorful i guess thats a good way to explain it lol
anyways
2nd update!!!

the stage custom portrait have been added and placed
im still fixing the "Stage 1:" trying to make it go away! nobody likes it lol
i havent done a template for it yet because you know like i said on my last post im going to make the slots and the backgrounds look more HD so i placed it there for the purpose of guidance i guess and thats why its not perfectly placed lol

but yea this is what i did for far hope you guys like the update i did and im going to try making more updates like posting daily updates i need to try doing that , because i kinda feel bad for putting this project on hold because i know some people liked the concept of it and i just stopped doing it for other stuff like MugenDOS so i want to make it up for you guys

Before this I told you could make an "X" shape on the slots if you want to add more slots, now I have another suggestion, you also can make a "Y" shape for the slots. If you make a "Y" shape, the space for big port is still same like what you show on your screenshots.

true but if i did that way i would need to make a different template since that way there will be 2 diferent portraits in the select screen the normal looks look like this \\  and then i would need to add the | | and that would be a bit more of busy work for some people and i dont really want people to work alot to get there characters in there but il try it

I said I would PM you but i'll just post it here.
here is a quick pen sketch of what I had in mind, I can help you make a photoshop mock up it wont be hard I can see it now  :sunny: lol



Ignore my sloppy writing/sketch I did while I sat on my work desk lol

hope you can imagine what I have in mind if not just wait for the photoshop mock up lol

yea i can see what you have in mind , like a very clean and organize styled select screen while still having a really good design
so what im probably going to do is just "hit the reset button" on the select screen and completely re-design it based on that sketch but yea when your finished with the mock up just sent i guess lol it will help make it more accurate
and actually that is good because i was thinking of re doing the Main Menu somehow to down the size of the screenpack because its kinda getting ridiculous it almost over 600 mbs and im kinda feeling limited on what we can do because of that.
but at the moment im more focus on the select screen then the Main Menu so yea the next updates that will come are probably going to be about the Select Screen

Yea I agree with that, it does give more work. It's okay, the "X" shape is much better, like the sketch Wolf did.
