So, if you've created one let me know.

Btw- has any one tried making a cover using this?


I'll give it a go if we can find a better quality/higher res version of that pic.

Jambe Davdar:
I DID! I started work on a cover using that but got stuck when it came to doing back layout. This was back before v2.0 was released. I only had the 2nd half of that image (front) to work with too. I'll fire up Photoshop and see if I can improve it somewhat. There's also a similarly styled piece of artwork for ROTJ that I planned to use for my eventual "Returning to Jedi" cover. It's a pity that there aren't hi-res versions of these 2 pieces as I think they are unique and would be perfect to use for covers for your 2 projects.

I'd be surprised if somebody around here didn't have the real thing they could scan.

I personally dont see a problem with converting it. If he could somehow get it to work...then if anything, he would be opening it up to a larger audience...which is basically the nature of the project in the first place.

Now, if he were editing out credits or trying to take a majority of the hype for creating it, I would have a problem...but simply converting it...I am all for it.

If someone were to do something like that, I'm sure he wouldn't come into the author's very own thread and announce it.

Jambe, I've got my cover done. Should I upload it? I know that image is of severely low quality, but it's a kick-ass image and I think I've done it justice in DVD cover format. What do you say?

Jambe, am I allowed to use your real name on the cover? Or would you prefer "Jambe Davdar"? I mention your name in the blurb on the back. Once you let me know, I can upload it.

Well, bearing in mind that I was working on a low-quality image (and had to use a Han/Luke/Tauntaun pic to cover the worst cloning parts), I've uploaded my cover for Building Empire (see post below). The colour has been shot to shit through working on it (and trying to make the image linked to a few posts back match with the part that I had). Let's just say: I really hope someone around here can get a hi-res version of that art/flyer. If that happens I'll recreate this cover with the higher-res version and that would solve many of the problems I ran into while trying to do this version.

By the way, I took some liberties with Jambe's logo when I recreated it in hi-res.

K, it looks great and really takes me back the 1980s when I loved playing the games on my Amstrad CPC.

Why not use "creator Jambe Davdar" or just "the creator" (delusions of grandier?) in the blurb on the back. This will be in keeping with originaltrilogy.com and means that people can come and find this thread.

Thanks

Well, here it is, FINALLY:
Klokwerk's "Building Empire" DVD Cover
This a YSI link so sorry to those of you who have problems with those. This was a last resort. This link will expire in 3 days or after a limited number of downloads. I would appreicate if someone who downloads it could host it somewhere (without reducing the filesize). Thanks in advance.

Also, the bottom-left aspect ratio symbol is something that I knocked together as I couldn't find something that classified video as "anamorphic widescreen with various aspect ratios". Plus, this "logo" matches the aspect ratio logos I use on my CBB covers.

Talking of video games, the Wampa attack subplot is featured in the Hoth level of the 1998 Star Wars Trilogy Arcade game.

Talking of file hosting, I've just uploaded a "quick and dirty" XviD conversion of Jambe's "teaser" trailer to savefile.com. Seems to be a bit heavy on the adverts, but looks OK (better than rapidshare, yousendit and megaupload).

Thanks for uploading the teaser Moth3r, looks great in Xvid.

Talking of downloads etc, I am shocked (and pleased) to see that in just 21 days 'Building Empire' has been downloaded from Myspleen 486 times!

With my distribution, PiFs and the newsgroup release this thing must be in 700+ homes.

Amazing! I just made it for us guys!

Once again I have recieved a number of PM's from people wanting to send me $$$ or £££ for a copy of 'Building Empire'.

As I've said MANY times before, I will never accept money for a copy. I am also unable to distribute any more copies at present, so may I suggest you beg a fellow member or download it. Sorry to those with dialup!

Please read the FAQ on the first page of this thread before asking questions.

Many thanks for your continued interest and support.
