    hi, like somes of you already know , im making a fake boxart of the next gc zelda .

    first, i love you all! and i release one of my most advanced work on it , only fo assembler! :smt045

    [​IMG]

    ( this is a low resolution of my work, saved in png only to let you see , this don't show the final quality of the product ;-) )



    now, (because there's always a second when i please you and say that i love you all... ( :smt043 :smt043 :smt043 ) ) i need your help!

    I whant tto know wich thing should be made to make it better ( this isn't thefinal version, ill add text and images of the games...)

    i whant you to tell me what you think about it.

    and i try to make a little text for the rear of the box, here's what i've wrote:
    -----------------
    A Wind of Changement Menace The Once Peaceful Hyrule When A Misterious Army
    Coming From A World Far Away From This Land Try to Conquer and Rule it. People
    await The Return of The Hero That Once Saved Hyrule Before Disapering From The
    Land in is Own Quest.

    Will The Hero Return Years Later To is BirthLand And Restore Peace Once Again? Will
    The Legend Take is Sword Once Again To Defeat Army of Darkness That Hide Someothing
    More Dangerous?

    Return To The World Of Hyrule And Fight The Enemy With Your Devoted Horse. Return To
    --------------------------
    (not finished)
    --------------------------

    i know im not the best (not at all!) in english , and i would love if you could try to correct it , make it sound better and try to find idea to make it sound better and more proffesionnal : think marketing, think zelda, think legend , think epic, think dark!

    a little contribution from all of you would be really loved.
    :smt023

    thx. :-D

    Good job cahaz, I like it a lot :smt023 . Here are some changes I made to the description to make it sound a little better.


    I tried not to change it too much. I hope you like it. BTW, keep up the good work :smt023

    Well since i want to help, Here is your blurb from the back of the box iqith a few corrections
    Few corrections in there, and i really don't like that finally lines horse piece - Perhaps someone else can suggest something better

    One last thing - For a non-native speaker, Your english is fenomenal - When i compare it to my foreign languages (French And Spanish Through school) i am always impressed at how good you are. Congratulations!

    one more thing with regards to the front cover - Perhaps something else in the foreground - a "I'm about to kick your ass" link perhaps

    Wow , thanks alot mate! :-D

    the last line about the horse was the starting of what i personally call the 2nd language on a video game or a movie box.

    the ''first language'' is the one that talk about the story, the second about the actual game , and that was i've tried to do (but never finished it)

    take loz: the windwaker for exemple here: [​IMG]

    there's somes lines that explain the story (in blue) and others that say what will await you as a gamer (in red).

    so i've started to talk about the game play , but if this isn't good and other people say it too, ill scrap the idea.

    plz say the truth , i whant critic! :smt045

    thx again. :-D

    yes , i would like to , i think the front is a bit empty (well, the back will have the text as well as gamescreen shot with little text to join them)
    but sadly , the lonly art made for the game was the link i've pasted on the back. :-(

    i'm think about placing symbols of a old language in the backround (in transparency) to make a bit like a prophecy text or something.... i don't know if it would be cool , and i don't know if nintendo would be the type to do this too. :smt043

    Very nice. :smt023 I'm not sure if you are done with the art yet but you forgot to add the name on the side of the box. Remember the lettering was the same on Windwaker and the promo games.

    cahaz, that's a beautiful box you've designed there. You should be very proud of it. Much better than the poor retail promotion box art.

    did assembler return the cart?

    anyway , i don't understand why i could be sued. first , i don't sell anything to anyone , second i use nintendo symbols but you can see in the low-left corner that everything is tradmarked. ''nintendo, nintendo game cube and the official seal is tradmarker by nintendo.''
    so i don't steal anything from them. and every singles pictures lik the zelda logo was publicly released. i've myself insrcived ''the legend of zelda (tentative title) 1986 2005 iNintendo Co.,Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan.
    Allright reserved. ''
    and wrote box art made by cahaz too.


    so i don't think i've made something that nintendo won't like. i don't steal something from them, i don't sell anything from them, i just have fun, that's all. :)

    post your own opinions about the box and the text , say what should be added , erased or remade, that would be greatly apreciated. :smt045
