Thanks, my wife helped me to design that label!The boo label.... Needs some tweeking. | I'd have to ask Rhindle about that, since I asked him to design it. Any suggestions... ?

Rhindle The Red Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Try seeing it on a cart... If you still don't like it, what exactly would you "tweak"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Try seeing it on a cart... If you still don't like it, what exactly would you "tweak"? Umm...I wouldn't have a guy in a Hawaian shirt and basecall cap looking at the ground for one. That, to me, doesnt exactly say "BOO" ! Not the best, but better.

Umm...I wouldn't have a guy in a Hawaian shirt and basecall cap looking at the ground for one. That, to me, doesnt exactly say "BOO" ! He's obviously looking behind him. Sorry you can't see that. As for your image, it would be very easy to find a pre-existing piece of artwork and slap it on a label. Boring. Or just do the standard big spooky house picture a la 'The Haunted Mansion'. Boring. I tried to do something orginal. I'm sorry you don't care for it. Hopefully others will. If not, so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy_Whelan Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hopefully others will. If not' date=' so be it.[/quote'] Just curious, who are the people on the label? Do they have anything to do with the creation of the game, label, etc.? To me, that would be a plus! Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Just curious, who are the people on the label? Do they have anything to do with the creation of the game, label, etc.? To me, that would be a plus! 'The Adventurer' is portrayed by a friend of mine (and a fellow actor), Scott Hildreth. I was able to get some shots of him during rehearsals of my last play, 'Macbeth, in which he portrayed Banquo. The Ghost of old man Graves (indeed, old man Graves himself) is portrayed by yours truly. *bows deeply* Here's the portrait of me as Graves that appears in the manual and a few of the dozens of outtakes...

atwwong Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 The brief story of the Haunted Adventure - Boo! label and manual... Back in the dark ages (May) when Boo! was still the original Haunted Adventure, Rhindle agreed to help me with creating the label and manual. After torturing him on and off for six months, he has, in his limited spare time, produced a wonderfully creative and original label and manual. I suppose when/if (hopefully when) the Special Edition pack is released, you may have the option of submitting your own label for your cart, but Rhindle's label and manual will be the official ones. Here is a preview of the 16 page manual that Rhindle created, along with a picture of the Haunted Adventure II manual that I just received today!

atwwong Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 The screen rolls in Haunted Adventure II are fixed, thanks to Nukey Shay. Nukey also freed up enough bytes to add in some really nifty extras. I'm just waiting for Rhindle to add the new features in Boo! to the manual, and to do a minor update to Boo!'s cart label.

atwwong Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Rhindle has completed updates to Boo!'s cart label. There are a few minor updates that need to be done to Boo!'s manual pages.
