In this one the Dinosaur runs back and forth along the bottom of the screen and the caveman arcs and grows from left to right.

Hard to get quality picture of dinosaur and caveman.

I'm looking for suggestions on the background too.

Tell us what you think.

I think on this one just a black blank background would look perfectly fine. If you notice the game has nothing in the background so it would match the game.

[RetroBorg]

Black background.

Definitely the black. Everything pops a lot better. Any reason why the guy is behind that gray background?

That's how it is on the sideart, I assumed it was a cave entrance?

I can get rid of it, what do you think?

[Dazz]

I like the cave entrance, but it could use a little definition. Perhaps like leaves or something going around it to make it look more like a cave entrance. Other than that I like the black and I think it looks fine the way it is now.

Sweet theme, I like the black better to, real clean.

[RetroBorg]

I've made some modifications, hopefully for the better.

I've made the background brown like the game, added grassy platform and climbing vines made the cave entrance black, reduced the main characters size a little and put him more to the left, increased the video size and added rope like video frame and made caveman jump from the left, dinosaur runs back and forth across the platform.

Is it better or worse?

I don't know how it's animated but it looks pretty freakin' awesome to me!

Thanks mate!

As far as animation goes the logo comes up from the bottom, the main character grows from the centre, the dinosaur runs angrily back and forth and the caveman jumps from the upper right across to the the bottom left of the screen getting larger as he moves.

Is it better or worse?Now that is what we are talking about. Excellent theme!

Now this is freaking awesome man.....if peeps continue to crank out quality themes like this one, ill probably never even play the games anymore and just browse through the themes..... haha

i cannot wait to get my hands on this one!! soon i hope!!

[amchine]

Oh yeah! Excellent work on the most recent revision! Submit that so we can test it out!

[BadBoyBill]

Ya love the improvments, youre really good retroborg. One small thing is from the screenshot it looks like theres some matting on the dinosaur, go to photoshop, layer, matting, remove white matt. The other thing is the background is the same color as the dirt area hes standing on so it looks the same and hard to tell apart, maybe if the background area was lighter brown color like in the video but leave the dirt he's standing on the same. Just an idea, looks great tho!

Thanks.

[RetroBorg]

Final modifications (hopefully)!

Changed to lighter brown like Bill suggested (I think it looks better lighter) and fixed up matting on dinosaur, also increased video size slightly.

I'll upload it shortly.

[kingb33]

[BadBoyBill]
