I made a Minecraft box art, and I'd like to share it. - Games

[QUOTE=Atex;32482359] That's an advertisement.[/QUOTE] And his post was a joke. Themoreyouknow.jpg

[QUOTE=killz2much;32482089]This one is pretty high quality. [img]http://screamobro925.webs.com/photos/Minecraft-Logos/Minecraft%20LOGO.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] It's a bitch to properly cut out though especially since there are artifacts (and I was also lazy).

Had this lying around. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/B4YkJ.png[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=xZippy;32482897]Had this lying around. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/B4YkJ.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Thanks, updated my image.

Alright, here's my full box image this time. [img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/268/b/1/minecraft___full_box_art_by_xzippy-d4ayigv.png[/img]

[QUOTE=xZippy;32483583]Alright, here's my full box image this time. [img]http://i.imgur.com/CcF3F.png[/img][/QUOTE] You should really put it together as one image and in the right order, so it can be put in a DVD case.

Why two dirt blocks ?

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;32482245]It's a bitch to cut properly though. I don't understand why the guy put that shitty gradient black background thing on the background, it wasn't necessary.[/QUOTE] It isn't. It easily cuts out with the magic want tool.

[QUOTE=xZippy;32483583]Alright, here's my full box image this time. [img]http://i.imgur.com/CcF3F.png[/img][/QUOTE] Its nice and simple. However, in a store, it wouldn't really appeal to anyone. They'd be confused as to just 4 blocks standing there.

[QUOTE=DeandreT;32483770]Minecraft.net*[/QUOTE] Fixed. Image updated. [quote=killz2much]Its nice and simple. However, in a store, it wouldn't really appeal to anyone. They'd be confused as to just 4 blocks standing there.[/quote] Did you see the reply I made on the first page about that same issue? The simple front cover may confuse the consumer, but once they turn it over they get an explosion of hot sticky content. The kind that would take days to wash off.

[QUOTE=killz2much;32483774]Its nice and simple. However, in a store, it wouldn't really appeal to anyone. They'd be confused as to just 4 blocks standing there.[/QUOTE] That's why they read the backside.

[QUOTE=killz2much;32480072]It's hard really to make a box art for Minecraft. The graphics itself is enough to make any idiot in a retail store to go, "wow shit graphics wtf $30 fail," and go pick up a more visually appealing game instead. Also that box art looks like it's using a texture mod. [editline]25th September 2011[/editline] It's not Games for Windows Live, its Games For Windows. Every PC game in retail stores use the Games For Windows banner. Unless they changed it and I'm unaware of this.[/QUOTE] Nope. Games with "Games for Windows" use the god-awful GFWL thingy, do you see Valve games with that banner? no. they usually just have a little steam icon on the back.

[QUOTE=killz2much;32484491][img_thumb]http://thunderb1rdblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/crysis.jpg[/img_thumb] I'm sorry, what?[/QUOTE] Hmmm.. You do have a point. Still, not all PC games use that banner.

[QUOTE=killz2much;32483774]Its nice and simple. However, in a store, it wouldn't really appeal to anyone. They'd be confused as to just 4 blocks standing there.[/QUOTE] Confusion is a very good tool to use to reel people in.

[QUOTE=barttool;32484502]Hmmm.. You do have a point. Still, not all PC games use that banner.[/QUOTE] Well yeah, but it was used for all PC at games at one point. Now they have simplistic boxes with no banner on top or anything I think.

[QUOTE=killz2much;32483774]Its nice and simple. However, in a store, it wouldn't really appeal to anyone. They'd be confused as to just 4 blocks standing there.[/QUOTE] Oblivion sold well enough with a cover that showed even less about the game. That being said, I'd love to see some retro box art like old First Person Shooters had. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/85/Doom.jpg[/IMG]

Something painted like the Super Meat Boy box art would be pretty cool aswell. [IMG]http://www.edmundm.com/boxart1.jpg[/IMG]

slimd1995, I want to thank you for inspiring me to do box arts. Who knows, once I suck less I'll try to do this professionally.

My submission should be right next to yours.

Why does everyone use the Minecraft font with the screwed up t?
