I'm linking to them, since they are quite large. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9313667/Box%20Art/Albumart/MI1-B-Albumart.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9313667/Box%20Art/Albumart/MI2-B-Albumart.png Not all that impressive, but it works I guess...  [Read More]

I... do not know why I didn't make them the same size. And yeah, that version of the cover is way better than the final one. I guess they found it too wacky? I'll make a new, bigger version of the album art, using the "wacky" cover tomorrow...  [Read More]

Not bad, thanks! :-) Another thing: I assume the soundtracks are MP3? At what bitrate? They are only accessable from a built-in player in the launcher, so I don't know. I can't find any music files on the disc or in the installation folder :(...  [Read More]

No new background paintings from MI2. All of the concept art/story board art is really high resolution, way bigger than my monitor, which is 1366*768, so I can't really capture a whole picture in its "native resolution" in one screenshot. T...  [Read More]

[cross-posted from the Telltale forums] Turns out quite a lot of concept art, and the complete story board for the MI film, is included, and it's awesome. It takes place before Secret, and includes an un-un-dead Murray, and LeChuck as a human. Guybr...  [Read More]

Since when does HMV supply PC games? They certainly don't in Canada. I dunno, but they sold PC games in the HMV store I went to when I visited London earlier this year....  [Read More]

I won't be buying it at all because apparently LucasArts hates North America. :mad: You could import it, I guess, but yeah, it really sucks when that game you want isn't released in your region. Such as Professor Layton's London Life :<...  [Read More]

While I really like the boxart, LeChuck looks kinda weird, and I think it's due to his pupils. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9313667/Box%20Art/MISEC%20LeChuck%20comparison.PNG Quick and dirty edit by me. Doesn't he look much better without the pupils? T...  [Read More]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9313667/Box%20Art/MI3%20cover-wip.jpg And here's a WIP. Your thoughts on this, ladies and gentlemen? Keep in mind that any JPG artifacts are due to me quickly resizing the preview image in MS Paint. They're not there in my be...  [Read More]

Hmm. Maybe I should try my hand at Lucasart covers - I have made custom Nintendo DS covers in the past, and this shouldn't be too different from that....  [Read More]

Yeah, I'm no fan of it either, but Bobbin's head looks good enough - if I were the cover designer, I'd use it on the spine. I would also use LeChuck on MI2 instead of Guybrush - not only does he look weird on that pic when he's "out of context&q...  [Read More]

I agree, and I think the Loom needs a headshot of Bobbin for the top part even if it's not taken from the cover. There's always the FM Towns cover: http://hardcoregaming101.net/loom/loom-fmtowns.jpg...  [Read More]
