Talk about anything here that there isn't another specific forum for. General chit-chat between the SG regulars. The Moderators will be sad pandas if you spam... too much.
I know it's probably a bit early to start thinking of making a new album, (especially since we haven't started doing submission for them), but I had an idea for the design of the next one, so I thought I'd post it here!
Since this site has streetfighter-ish rank bars we could make a streetfighter/tekken/(any fighting game) character selection screen as the style of our new album. I haven't got a design in mind yet but I know it would work and that we could make it look really good. The examples below aren't necessary how it would look, but I think it will give you an idea of what I mean
Damien wrote:Would it be sort of flash animationy?
Not sure. I was talking about it to emily at work and she suggested a flash animation. If it was I could add music in the background. We could also make it when you 'choose a character' it says for example 'Garbo' in a cheesy male american voice.
It would look smooth in flash, but could also be done in html
How the hell can you say CvS2 sucked Garbo. Go back to watching Pearl Harbor.
true

We wont, I should be able to design it so that it either has mulitlpe pages or scrolls. Also if anyone has alias identities we can make that appear if you right click or hold down space or something![/quote]
Ah crap, I just realized this might be a bitch to do, after seeing the character select screen again. My only suggestion would be a mix, with the circular selection like in GGXX, and the main pictures appearing similar to CvS2.
Hopefully what I said makes sense.
Changing this sig after 9+ years.

You'll need to take at least 2 photos for this.
If possible dress up like a fighting game character or in stupid clothes.
Also submit a bio, maybe about how you intened to atke over SG for us to make a rediculours story with

It is do-able, but would be a bitch to do! Although It does look good, Cvs2 is probably best as the format is quite stylish and is instantly recognisable as a fighting game character select screen!

Ah well, I'm still liking the CvS2 design though.

Yep people can choose to write a bio, nominate someone to write it for them or just leve it blank. I think having a bio will be funnier though. Damien will do a tekken style reading of your bio
With the amount of members we have you should opt for the MvC2 select screen, though I think going with the likes of the Tekken character select would work best.
Does there happen to be some kind of central story we should try to incorporate? Damien mentioned "how you take over SG", but is there anything more beyond that?

;p
The tekken select screen is the easiet to knock out. You just have a scrollable bottom and the large pictures at top. There is no rush to complete this so I'm going to do it CVS2 style as it will look fantastic if I pull it off and I like a challenge.

Using flash means less restrictions, there could be multiple pages or buttons/shortcuts to move to other screens
And it all depends on how many people submit photos this time round
Well the thing is that you'll be selecting ONE person at a time. The CvS2 is obviously meant for a team of three, while the Tekken select screen is obviously meant for one.
I mean I know it'd be the easiest to pull off, but you'd get alot more freedom and customization so to speak, with the Tekken character select. Bigger portraits, large enough miniature character boxes at the bottom, and well plenty of free room to fuck around with.

The three character system actually takes up very little extra space on the select screen of CVSNK2 and we have to remember that this will be an entirely original system, borrowing from but not totally ripping off a fighting game.

Adding more people will be a major consideration when designing this album. I will make it as easy as poss to update so it shouldn't matter how many people enter!

Damien and calbrena will probably come up with the ancor story. I assume they'll post it here when thats done
The story will basically be a Tekken sort of thing.
We take SG from Shaun and other people want our power/website.
Anything anybody thinks up for their bio will be incorporated into it

Shaun, try to learn some SFII music
Also, we need some pics from you for the intro. You dying/being locked up/SG being taken over... any or all of those
Also also, we need the older members albums still

Exactly Its quite easy to use the diagonal system for one character.
Leftover wrote:I just don't think the diagonal boxes will work as well than any of the other regularly done select screens (meaning not on a 45 degree angle).
This is my favourite layout for any fighting game select screen so I will make it work. It should be easy enough to adapt this to work well with this system.
Ah well, I'm still liking the CvS2 design though.
