Hi all !!

Working on SM2 has become more or less an 'open project' for me.
Lots of people have given input to this game,
and still people are helping out
People assist with grapx, music and programming.
Now I want to ask another favor of you.

The game will be finished in few months, and I want to make a Front Cover,
together with a users manual for it.

My drawing skills are poor, so Im asking you,
Would you like to draw a picture for the front Cover of Spacemanbow 2 ???
This can be digitally or just with a pen on a paper.
If you have no scanner to send it to me,
please contact me...

The Endboss of SM2 so far is the same as the endboss from SM1 (he's still alive)
These are 2 shots of SM2's endboss:
From the Outside:

From the Inside:

This is a shot of the main ship:

And here are 2 shots of the manual of SM1, maybe this gives inspiration


Id like to thank you guys for all the help !!!!!
Thanx ~!~

heeeye is that the main ship ? dope ! by far the best

I was wondering; who's doing the pixelling for the game? Some of the graphics are really very good... almost Konami good! Perhaps we can abuse this person for other projects as well?

indeed, it looks absolutely stunning, great shaing et all.
I guess I wouldn't mind doing some work for the cover, not drawing but doing the logo's & overal DTP work.
tying it together etc and do image collages. Guess the ship on the cover could either be reused,with a new
background and altered.

Wauw !! Great !!
With what would you like to start? What info/help can I provide you with !?? (and, what is DTP?)

ah, DTP is desktop publishing, or ehh... adding texts, logo's and images to make a final product
I wouldn't be able to draw sucha cover, but I am good at collaging,
and designing logo's etc isn't a problem either.
if may look different from the original then it's a lot easier.
Guess after september I will have time for it,
but if you have a good scan of the print in true printsize format
as TIFF or PSD or something, i can at least take a look at it

also, I would need to know the details of the new package

I agree with norakomi that the cover and the users manual must be at the same level of quality than the game.

yep, admitted... the final product should be perfect

quickly put together (half an hour) . Maybe it's an idea, based on the 2 versions of the endboss,
to have the organic and mechanical versions combined.



and a more organic version

the first, bigger

Holy Macaroni !!!

Thats truly beautifull.
Just to try, could you do these 2 things for me:
1) tek out the lettres "SPACE". And leave only "Manbow". Then add the number "2" or "II"to the picture?
2) (the 2nd picture) This could be SPACEMANBOW with the heart in the middle (the heart is coool)
could you zoom out this picture, so it looks more like a ship ??
maybe a bit shaped like the shot I posted of spacemanbow from the outside? and the same colors ?
ps, i couldnt get a better image for the cover, since I look it of the internet
the manual of part 1

nice, I will later this weekend

but hey... it's still a rush thing this,
but it may be a coold idea for a cover.
also, I think maybe a picture of the player's ship could be in front of it,
like the nemesis cover to show the size difference

do you have a high quality picture of the space manbow logo ?
And I think II would be classier ^_^

I agree.
The nemesis cover is kinda cool !!
Unfortunately I dont have a high quality picture of the SM logo.
Only what you see here above,
ehhh, what about a screenshot from SM 1 ? (at startupscreen)

ah yeah could do that in bluemsx

or ask someone who has SM to take a picture of the cover.
Guess there should be plenty of people who have it.
