For what it's worth (probably nothing), I don't really like the placement of the font on the side. I wonder what it would look if you left the pac-man and ghosts exactly where they are but moved the font to the top and all on one line so it says "Pac-Man Legion" underneath the screen and separated from the art a bit. I'm also not in love with the font... but I think it is close. Something looks just a little off to me about it. Maybe because it is too close to original Pac-Man cabinet font so my brain can't accept the different letters. Instead of using a downloaded font, why not hand draw it? It would fit with your art better and you the same letters will look slightly different and add to the "custom" look you are going for. Love the sleek design though! :cheers: Like this LOL: |

I like the idea of bringing the title together in one line but it seemed too big a gap in your example javeryh. I had a really close look at the original font vs the imitation font and then I went to work on a version that's very close. The original was three fonts overlayed on each other, slightly offset, with yellow on top. I've duplicated the three colors but made red the top one. I gave it a gentle curve because dead straight seemed wrong to me as well. I've updated the original cabinet render to show the current art version. I'm happy with the art, especially after the feedback - thanks! The next step with this project will be to design construction plans based on the concept render. |

Returning from a restful holiday, I am keen to work on my various projects (including RoToron of course). I've spent much of the last few days just getting my workshop in order. I flipped the TV destined for use in this cabinet on its back today and hooked up the transcoder to a PC. I'm very impressed with the combination of GroovyMAME, Transcoder unit and CRT emudriver. Running games smoothly - no audio glitches!-at their native resolution on a large crisp CRT really took me back. I sat on my low stool with a TV on its back playing various games for a good hour or so, completely transported - magic! Anyway, now that I know the system will work, I can get on with cabinet construction. Much thanks to Calamity for breathing new life into MAME and making golden age classics live on across a variety of CRT based builds. I will detail the particular settings which work on this build. I am a relative newb to these CRT applications, so still learning as I go. |
