Author Topic: Custom marquee, bezel, and Mala layout w/ load screen. Available for hire !!!!!! (Read 4750 times)

mike boss · « **on:** October 11, 2013, 05:03:07 pm »

I've been pushing my Mala services around these parts for quite some time.
But I can do more than just create MaLa layouts.
One of my best customers approached me about doing his full art package for his project.
What we came up with was a marquee, bezel, and of course MaLa layout with a custom load screen.

I think the final product is really cool and looks great on the bartop.

Packages starting @ $75 should anyone be interested.

Looks good Mike. Been thinking about sending you a PM for about a month now. Getting closer to pulling the trigger on my next build.

I'm sure we could work something out.
I look forward to hearing from you.

awesome work Mike Boss
Huge fan of the mala layouts you've done.
If I knew how to set up mala I would definitely want a custom layout from you.

Keep up the great work

Ah man, MaLa is super easy............and trust me I have soooooooooo little computer knowledge.
I used the guide that Uncle T wrote when I did my install.
Give it a try, it is a great front end.
And of course............once you do.................I can make you a good layout.

matt4949 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 15, 2013, 04:57:32 pm »

I agree Mala was much easier to figure out.
Hey Mike PM sent.

@ matt4949

I've got some good ideas bouncing around my head for this classic MK inspired layout.
It will only be the second MK layout I've ever done, the other being done for a good buddy of mine.
I'm looking for some cool images of Raiden to tie it into your sideart.
I think you will be pleased.

mike boss · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2013, 10:10:02 am »

This isn't a MaLa thread but I thought I'd add this.
MaLa is a great front end, not perhaps as flashy as Hyper Spin... but that is where I come in.
The ability to customize the layouts add so much depth IMHO.
I've never tried other frontends, but MaLa really has any feature I can think of.
You can add background music and I suggest the "Arcade Ambiance Project" ------------- it's super cool!
You can add sound effects to your layout which is also super cool.
Really it is awesome.

Just finished this layout and load screen for matt4949.
Some bad --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- Kustom Mortal Kombat action.
All I can say is prepare for battle !

and of course working with Mike was a pleasure. Both hassle and worry free. Thanks Mike

For a second I thought Mikonos was back.

Because of the watermark, right?

BTW, nice job, Mike.

Thanks guys !
I should point out the image is the layout with the loadscreen on the bottom.
(thats why it's oddly shaped)

I'll need to resize it tonight and reconfigure, but another happy customer.

And as always I push my services, vibefx@gmail.com

Let me know what you'd like and something can be worked out.
I've kinda got the dad thing under control, so I get more computer time to finish these projects.

edit - I'm shocked I've never had anyone ask for a Street Fighter II inspired layout. But I think it is because I made my buddies layout available on the MaLa site. Anyone interested can see some of my free works on the MaLa site.

Yeah that was my fault and luckily Mike did his best not to make me feel like an idiot.http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/Smileys/default/banghead.gif

@ matt4949

It's ok.
I've had this issue prior. Luckily in this case we went smaller......it's always easy to make it smaller....not so easy to make it larger.
None the less it's done.
I'm hoping your testing goes "flawless ~~victory~~"

matt4949 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 21, 2013, 11:11:44 pm »

Hey I got it working and it even looks better than the images you all are looking at. Thanks Mike

mike boss · « **Reply #22 on:** October 22, 2013, 07:56:41 pm »

Glad your happy!
I always enjoy working on new projects.
