Title: A contest of sorts; Get your graphics on an Xbox 360 game!
Post by: Mamoruanime on September 15, 2008, 08:15:55 am
Well, I've decided to take this in an interesting direction.

In NaviBlast, we have the option to customize the look of your NaviBall with various texture maps. While we've created quite a few of our own designs, I had the thought of "Well, wouldn't it be cool if we could have some users submit some and get their names in the credits?"

Well yeah.

Shown here is the NaviBlast Easter Promo Demo, which includes the "Pastel" skin-

Anyway :P

So heres the scoop-

Create some artwork. Make sure it's overall resolution is at least 512x256, and allow some bleed off for colors. It is important to remember that the width used on the actual texture is 2x the height, so square artwork will be cut off at parts.

Do Not Use Copyrighted Material Or Artwork Not Created By You.

Email it to Mamoruanime [at] Hotmail [dot] Com. Make sure the subject is "NaviBall Art Submission".

Include dimensions, name of piece, and a brief description in the content, your full name, along with the attached image. Images must be PNG.

What do you get?

Your name in the credits of an Xbox 360 game, some street creds as an artist, and bragging rights to all of your friends :P


All in all it's simple enough :P

You will be emailed back if you're in. Emails without that specific subject line will be ignored.

Terms and Conditions:

Mamoruanime Software, or affiliated parties with this project are not liable for payment, compensation, etc for use of artwork in-game, or via any other means of presentation. By submitting artwork you agree that- 1) The artwork is property of Mamoruanime Software once submitted. 2) You expect no compensation for artwork other than having your name in the credits of NaviBlast if accepted. 3) You will not seek further compensation in the form of an email, phone call, letter, or any other means of contact. If accepted, winning parties will receive an email stating they have made it into the credits with their submission.

Sounds pretty cool. Can we seen an example though just to get an idea of how the design should be created for those not fully aware of this game?

Nice promo :).
So it's pretty much textures you want, right? I could give a few a go.

Yup essentially; it's just a NaviBall texture :P

Here are some guides-

(Please note, you don't have to follow the guide exactly, however it gives an idea of the scaling and such)

I can just see how that'd go...

TheDarkJay: This is a post-modern reference to all the suffering, hate and despair in the world;
Mammy: It's a yellow squiggly line on a white background with the word "Hello World" written above it in baby blue.
TheDarkJay: Yes, well...you see the thing about that is AMNESIA DUST!
Mammy: What the hell? You didn't even throw anything...all you did is shout amnesia dust.
TheDarkJay: I said AMNESIA DUST!
Mammy: Who am I what am I where am I?

...sweet.

Anyway, may enter this...somehow...possibly. Not like I have any art skills or anything, but...you know...might be good for a larf.
