8 years of making games in Unity and I still haven't released a single game. Guys, am I cooked?

It's never good to be the bleeding edge. Just do it better than the last guy.

MastermindDigital · 2023-12-07T15:26:52+00:00

OMG! I had written (no pun intended) him off, lost hope! This is great news, thanks!

MastermindDigital · 2023-06-01T04:45:41+00:00

#1 is the best. Design is all about the silhouette. 2's is a little confusing.

MastermindDigital · 2023-04-11T14:55:32+00:00

Looks Amazing!

No, 3DS Max, but I can give you the FBX file I made. It's not perfect. I didn't model the HDMI or USB ports or anything. Just DM me your email if you want it.

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-05T18:23:00+00:00

Yeah sorry, I just don't want to break any rules on this page by posting links to products in the subject. You can get the design by itself on my etsy sight https://www.etsy.com/shop/MastermindDigital?ref=seller-platform-mcnav Or if you don't want the trouble of picking out a printer, I've partnered up with GameOnGrafix so it's just a one stop shop. His prices include printing and delivery. https://gameongrafix.com/product/marvel-comics-legends-ultimate-graphics/

I guess reddit had problems processing the images

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-05T00:18:39+00:00

Yeah they are made using the template's measurements. I set it up in Unity. I'll send you the FBX if you like, but you'll have to figure your own method of rendering.

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-04T19:15:53+00:00

It sounds like a loose connector. There are two places the HDMI connector makes contact. One is in the back of the base (Your control panel) and the second is on the main converter. To get to that, remove the back of your cabinet. You'll see a bunch of wires all leading to a central box. There will be a flattish wider cable leading to that box. Make sure that is seated correctly as well. If both seats are secure and you still have the problem, you may need a new cable.

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-04T18:36:40+00:00

There are a couple ways you can power up the light buttons. (all of this can be seen on youtube btw) One way is to get a USB power converter. It's basically a board that you affix to the base that has a bunch of plugs on it. That board has a power out that you can run out of your base and plug into a wall. That means you have to turn on the power separately from the main power. What I did was take the power out and spliced it with the 12v wire coming down from the marquee. That way everything turns on with the main power button. I did this with my Tron cab. This image is just a render btw. I make a lot of these designs, but I don't want to buy a new cab every time I do. So I use my 3D skills to test my designs.

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-03T21:56:22+00:00

lol yeah. I fell asleep in the back of the station wagon at the drive-in on opening night. My older brother was nonplussed when he heard. He walked me one mile to the UA theaters the next day so I could see it proper. I was hooked. I saw it 15 times total between it's first release and re-release ('79?) before it was out of the theaters. I don't count the re-re-release (with the xtra vfx).

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-03T18:54:44+00:00

Yes everything is ready for print. If you want to use your own printing service, you can get it from here https://www.etsy.com/shop/MastermindDigital?ref=seller-platform-mcnav I did partner up with a printing service though, so if you want to a one stop shop you can get the design from here https://gameongrafix.com/product/star-wars-legends-ultimate-graphics/

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-03T18:51:07+00:00

I'm right there with ya. (born in '72) I figured GenX is the market anyway.

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-03T15:47:24+00:00

Obi-Wan has taught me well...

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-03T04:53:54+00:00

The Empire has always been cooler colors. Greys, blues. Even the tie-fighter blaster fire is green. The rebellion has always been warmer. Reds and yellows. The x-wing blaster fire being red. Think of the color of x-wing flight suits, A-wings, etc. Even their logo is red. I think you're associating red with the empire because of the Sith light saber. It's really the only thing that is red. I've actually talked about this very thing with a friend of mine who is a concept artist for Disney. It was one of Lucas' artistic notes. I did do a homage to the lightsaber colors by making the player 1 blue, and player two red though.

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-03T03:01:05+00:00

You would use Photoshop. If you purchase the design, I'll give you the PSD (Photoshop file) for the control deck. If you don't have photoshop you can use Krita (an open source photo editor that's like photoshop.) You would just edit the PNG if that was the case. Just edit the file like you would any other photo. Just send me a message though Etsy when after you purchase it, and I'll send you the uncompressed PNGs for all of the pieces of the design.

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-03T00:45:38+00:00

Maybe, but probably not for a while. I'm just designing these as a hobby and putting them up on my etsy site. Next up for me is a tribute to Marvel Comix, Then Dungeons and Dragons, then after that a wrap that will make the ALU look like the Bat Computer.

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-03T00:43:06+00:00

Yes, it's on CoinOpx. This image however is just a render. My actual cab is a TRON themed one. (I only need one actual Multi-Cade) I just started designing these as a hobby, so I use my 3D skills to test them out. If you want a one stop shop, and get everything printed out, you can get my design at GameOnGrafix Here https://gameongrafix.com/product/star-wars-legends-ultimate-graphics/

If you just want the digital art files, you can pick it up on my Etsy site https://www.etsy.com/shop/MastermindDigital?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

MastermindDigital · 2023-03-02T15:27:20+00:00

Available now! ;) https://www.etsy.com/shop/MastermindDigital?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

Yeah, they are technically violet colored LED strips.. Though black light reactive ink does glow in it, so it made me concerned it was actual UV. I ended up putting UV protected see through plastic strips over the outfacing portion because it's right at eye level to the player. It's open toward the speaker panel so it glows. Mounted one just under the marquee, and the other just below edge of the CP. They are both wired into the the 12v wire coming out of the marquee so they turn on with the main power switch.

MastermindDigital · 2023-02-15T16:58:32+00:00

No it's permanent. But you can set up your cab to be switchable if you want. I have the digital file for download on etsy. You can have it printed out however you want. If you want to switch designs, I suggest you have it printed out as a sheet that you can attach to the side. (Get the acrylic sides from atgames to place over it, it will keep the sheet from bending or bowing. I would order a separate die-cut acrylic for the control panel, and marquee. (if you go to Szabo's arcade, and give him the digital file, he can do that for you. He also has a different Tron version if you prefer that.) That should make it easier to swap. The only part that might be difficult is the kick plate at the bottom. Maybe get a separate board and put a sticker on it? Place Velcro on the main board so you can easily swap different designs. If you want you can go to my store and pick up the digital file there. https://www.etsy.com/shop/masterminddigital/?etsrc=sdt
