Hi, guys. I had a project on here a couple years ago and haven't really done anything arcade-like since then. I have the link to the project on here, but I will have to link the images to my new domain later on.
I decided after some deliberation that I needed to make something fun for my kids since they like playing video games so much. Arcades around here don't exist and I don't consider Chuck E. Cheese a place with "real" arcade games. Well, we watch Regular Show and the second episode was called "Destroyer of Worlds." That's the one where they find the abandoned arcade games like "Lemonade Stand", "Clap Like This", "Hats for Sale", etc. The last game they find is "Destroyer of Worlds." If you're familiar with the show then something bad happens with this arcade machine. It unleashes the boss from the game and it goes on a rampage.
I decided to make the arcade cabinet replicate the one in the show. Now, I did all the artwork and even did all the graphics for Maximus Arcade, but I LOST IT ALL. Well, the PSD files, which took me over 6 hours to make, are all gone, but the Maximus Arcade files are still here. I wanted to shorten the CPO since it was HUGE for 2 players and I needed to redo the artwork. This is pretty much when I lost it since I couldn't find ANY remnants of it anywhere. I will post what I made here if people would like to see what I did just for kicks and post what it will look like when I'm done. I can't print my new artwork for the CPO, so I'm just going to handpaint everything on the cab to match the TV show version.
This is only going to be 5 feet tall and only 14 inches deep. Yes, maybe a little too skinny, but with the skeleton I created from it so far, it actually works.
Since this is still a WIP, I will post what I've done and I'm working on it as I type this. Obviously ANY comments and questions are welcome. I will try and check the thread every 10-15 minutes and post new pics as I go.
