Phoenix - phoenix(EvilDindon_09-16-2008)

[EvilDindon]

Actually, the theme must be seen in action, cause the animations are essential, specially the rain float of the big birds which results in a real near game feeling.

Any suggestions ?

[RetroBorg]

These are the sort of themes I like, when the artwork of the theme replicates the actual game play, that bird must look cool rain floating.

What are your other animations?

[BadBoyBill]

How do you think it would look with a little bit bigger raining birds?

[EvilDindon]

Are you serious ?

Actually, I was thinking they were too big !

Nothing as impressive as those phoenixs raining (video, main logo and centuri logo)

PM me when the theme is approved and I will add a video of the theme to the description.

[BadBoyBill]

Oh I was thinking the rain float is the small white birds, sorry.

Ok, thanx Circo, and thanx for all your hard work for the emulation community !

Still have to remove (a lot) of stars in the background, and the theme will be finished.

Ah, I understand now why you were thinking thhey were a bit small !

[EvilDindon]

So, I removed about 60% of the stars, so the sky looks much more realistic.

I wanted to increase a bit the main logo, but as it's not real good quality, I think I will let it like that.

Any other suggestions before upload (the theme must be seen while running, cause the big blue phoenixs raining animation is all of it !)

[RetroBorg]

Removing some of the stars really improved the theme, the darker background really highlights the birds better.

[EvilDindon]

Ok, and what about this new version with an echoed and fading logo ?

[RetroBorg]

I don't know if I like it or not?

Cool effect though how did you do that?

[EvilDindon]

I did that "manually", by copying and pasting the same layer 8 times, set saturation to 0 for all of them and decreased opacity by 10% each time.

So, you prefer the simple logo ?

Or maybe I should had the same echos on the left side of the logo ?

I'll have to remember that.


So, you prefer the simple logo ?

I'm probably leaning towards no, maybe someone else can offer an opinion, I can't really decide if I like it or not..


Or maybe I should had the same echos on the left side of the logo ?

I think that would be better than just one side, if you do go for that effect.

[EvilDindon]

I think I'm getting it with this 3rd version.

I've added the birds artwork set to hover.

Any suggestions ?

[The Loafer]

I love it!

[EvilDindon]

Thanx,

So, which versions, you, other guys (or girls ?) do you prefer ?

[EvilDindon]

I've decided to upload the last version as I'm very satisfied with it, and I think you won't be disappointed.

[The Loafer]

last version for me sure looked ok.

[RetroBorg]

Thanx,

So, which versions, you, other guys (or girls ?) do you prefer ?

Last version.

[EvilDindon]

Thanks.

[EvilDindon]

Oops forgot to mention it was uploaded.
