Yet another thread on Ketsui chips

Post by CMPXCHG8B »

So I would have kicked that old thread of mine where I initially posted these, but apparently I can't make teh leet pollz when replying to a thread that has already started.

Anyways, long story short, I'm bored out of my mind right now- which means several things. 1) Lots of work on random projects ("because I can" stuff). 2) Way too much Ketsui and Viper Phase 1. 3) Literally sitting around waiting for Mass Effect 3 to drop (or someone to release a crack, I justify that one by having already paid for the entire game on pre-order).

So I decided to spend some time remodelling my old Ketsui chips, but this time with super-mega-awesome-OCD mode enabled. Which means they took 6x as long to model, and look exactly the same.

Anyways, as BPzeBanshee asked in ye olde thread, yes, I was planning on using the models as an application/dock icon for my rather unexciting OS X builds of MAME. But work spooled up again so I had to shelve my Eightarc and actually do shit to make money, which I did, so now I have time to work on other things for a while. Expect those builds and the Xcode project maybe tomorrow or something whenever I finish re-doing the disk image backgrounds.

So, yeah, the point of this thread is basically: i can haz ur opinions plz kthx bai?

If there are any glaring issues with these, I'd like to know about it. They look fine to me, but I'm hardly a hardcore Ketsui fanatic. Also, I have elected to create a wonderful poll to determine the preferred colour. I know blue isn't Ketsui-like but I included it anyways because MAME seems to like blue a lot and so do I. I also landed up doing red, because some of the CAVE stuff has them as red even though I've never seen them as such in the game.

Whichever one gets the most votes will probably land up as the app icon colour for the builds of MAME.app I want to get rolling again. Not that I'm trying to sound self important here or anything, because, well, I have no idea who actually cares about that stuff and the builds I'd posted, but I do, so if you do too then woohoo. Or something. God it's late and I need to get to bed.

I think Green would be more true to Ketsui, but the idea of a nicely tinted-rainbow cube sounds bloody excellent.

Glad to know you still plan to get OS X builds of MAME going, I certainly care on that regard. Guess those performance increases I saw with the Cave SH3 games are going to be irrelevant now that they're removed but oh well :P

I voted for blue as the color just seems to sit well with the lighting and tone of the model. Good job.

Blue for me as I think it will sit nicely in the dock of Macbook with the other icons.

I don't care what color they are, as long as they're transparent and not gigantic and in my face the entire time .. oh wait, I'm thinking of the actual game >_>
