[THEME] ASTRO CITY {CANCELLED!}

[Krakerman]

Here is a new theme that I've put together today. This one is inspired by the Sega Astro City arcade cabinet.

[Krakerman]

This one will have enhanced individual MAME game themes just like my original Gameroom theme had. I should have a sample to show you soon as I already knocked up an enhanced and revised Centipede theme for the Astro City layout.

[Krakerman]

I did a new redesign of the frontend will have new snap soon!

[Krakerman]

Ok now here is a better look at the interface much better. It grabs alot of inspiration from my latest theme I'm working on with improvements. Anyways was taking a break from working on that theme and was just toying with some new ideas.

What do you guys think of it?

[update] Updated the selection bar colors to match the pallete of the theme.

[Krakerman]

I am also working on creating various color schemes for the other Sega cabinet themes like Blast City and Versus City.

[GimmeClassics]

I like the new look of this theme.

One request though:

before you start working at this new theme I'd very much appreciatie it if you could please finish your GameroomEX theme first ? Quite a few of us have been following the progress of your amazing GameroomEX theme and you've already put a lot of time and work in it. I'd really like to see this finished first before you start putting a lot of time at the new Astro City theme

....it's just a request. Of course you're free to decide what to do

Greeting from a GameroomEX fanboy

GameroomEX theme has gone GOLD! Meaning it's ready for release. Future themes will be available at a later date but the theme is already packed with over 60+ systems ready to go! Look over on my GameroomEX post for a link to d/l it later today!!

[GimmeClassics]

Wow ! That's great news Krak !!

I'll definitely check it out this week :)

[Krakerman]

Uploading as I type this. It comes in at a whopping 129MB!! Packed full of Retro goodness.....

[Krakerman]

The GameroomEX theme is now available!

[Krakerman]

The Astro City theme is a tribute to the Japanese Arcades.

I am not going to create different system themes like I did for my GameroomEX theme. Instead each system will look very similar but will create a logo art using the same Astro City font and color pallete. Keeping this one much cleaner and simple.

[KRC]

Liking the color scheme on this theme very much!

[Krakerman]

Thanks KRC.

It's the Sega Astro City candy cab color palette. Here is my first system theme WIP ... the "Atari 2600" with my own custom wheel art that I am making for it and yes since I am making the wheel art myself I will include it with this theme as seperate packs.

[Krakerman]

Astro City intro effect!!

[Krakerman]

Here is the newest progress now with custom logos that I'm working on.

[Krakerman]

Ok here is the first MAME theme that I am working on and this is working under GameEX's MAME settings not as a separate emulator.

Since this theme is based on an arcade cab (this theme is being developed on a HTPC @1920x1080) I thought these type of MAME themes would look perfect. Gives new life to my old Gameroom themes.

[Krakerman]

This theme has been cancelled!

[Adultery]

On a canceling spree today?

[Krakerman]

Yup! The Evolution is coming ....

[Tempest]

Yes it is. Be prepared.

[rtkiii]

Does this mean my new Time Machine Theme will not work with the "Evolution?"

[Tempest]

No. How silly would it be to not have backwards compatibility with older themes?

[rtkiii]

I agree but this guy is cancelling his Themes hinting at the news to come in 179 days

[nullPointer]

Yes ... but Krak has cancelled more theme projects than most of us will ever build in our lifetimes! (Which is of course more a statement about the volume of his output than it is about actually cancelling themes).

Well, he may of cancelled because of recent news, or he may have for other reasons - who knows? But be assured that your spectacular effort will live on! It's a great theme man and i would be proud to have it as my first attempt!

Yeah, Krak has what i like to call: "An eye for the most less ordinary"
