Sideart
Playfield
CPO - no change to this one, will pick up the highlight colors through the plastics.
OMHFG does my face hurt. Wowzers.

Hmm... How about a horizontal brushed steel/aluminium on the plane faces (text + circles), instead of the silver fading?

This is an amazing project and it's great that you are sharing the artwork, sounds and music. I've started on my own version of SpaceBase, but instead of building a cabinet, I'm doing an arcade version that can be played on any cabinet (with two joysticks).

Beat me to it!

Super coolness. This may be the first "indie" thing I install on my cab if possible. This project has be stoked.
Le Chuck:
Spent a fair amount of time doing the initial cut plan for the playfield, now I'll tackle the two different cabs that this will require (one that is packable so I can get it up to Canada for IDS to work with) and one that is a straight ICB clone for me ;) The image shows the playfield with the CNC cut path overlaid. Should get access to the CNC next month so I'll be getting everything ready to be cut between now and then. Feeling pretty good about this!

The upload images don't show but those surfaces are brushed; however, since you mentioned it I'll take a look at the brush to fade ratio on those and see if I can't clean it up some more. The brush is pretty fine and done at 45o but I'll adjust the angle, length, and see if there's something more better lurking in there. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome, we used the flash version quite a bit in developing our initial rule set and to get a feel for the game since none of us actually own an ICB or Zeke's Peak. The rule set we're designing is a fair departure from original with regard to how the count down timer and difficulty adjusts. I think it's totally awesome you're tackling this. Once we get a the actual unit up and running it should be pretty easy to make your version spot on.
Oh, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it at first, then I realized you're using an earlier version of the art, the pink is too much for me ::)
