The trouble with this is the base artwork is terrible unfortunately.  It would be very difficult to polish this one up to a level that would be comparable to your Super2 DX, which was excellent.

I've got some better artwork for this, but won't be doing anything with it, if at all for the foreseeable future need to completely redo from scratch and find the side art off the net again as scrapped all work and images of this wip dohhhh lol

[vectra666]

Over a year from the initial start of this forthcoming release, and I'm hoping to resurrect this release. Now got all bits required so I can start this from scratch again with better quality flyers this time thanks to Samson. Also found the window art of net apparently from an old computer game castlevania I think. Anyways I don't like starting a project and never completing it so when I start a new forthcoming topic will begin. If I can stay away from Amber online that is LOL.

My newer topic on this forthcoming release seams to have dissappeared into wips for Amber I think, can a Mod/admin either delete this or that one, or delete both topics and I'll start again thankyou.

With a small layout like this, you may struggle to get perfectly legible text if you go for font 'accuracy', so don't be disheartened if you have to use any font which looks acceptable. Obviously it would be nice to have as close a match as possible though

 

Can't see the post now, but with the gargoyle at the top left (which I'm sure was mentioned before?), if you want to make it a closer match to the one on the top right, I honestly reckon you could get away with just lassoing the left gargoyle and lowering colour saturation. Not a proper issue, just a bit of 'tarting up' if you want it to look more natural.

 

Otherwise looking fine to my eyes on my crappy print-server laptop (1366x768 panel). Can't play it on this though as the GPU is borked (rare to see Intel graphics fail, but it's happened on this one!). Anything remotely graphically intensive and it throws a wobbly - fine for sat here doing bugger all though

Looking fine here, I mean I'm pretty anal and can see a little difference but in all honestly it's close enough that any normal person couldn't tell

 

One of my favourite £25 MPU5 games this, along with other similar machines (Shark Raving Mad, Supernova, All Fired Up, Hot Stuff, Hellraiser) - all good for a nice easy jackpot punt, without a ridiculous streak. Compare these to modern machines, where you can shovel in hundreds for endless £2 blocks, and these were about the last 'fun' machines I remember, where you felt like real skill was involved (even if it wasn't) and a very short jackpot cycle.

 

Chances of big streaks / repeaters were rare, but the chance of a fair game and a fair shot of getting value for money in my opinion

[vectra666]

blue text/fonts finally done, now onto the red font if anyone knows what it is

Wow that is class mate it really is I can see the hard work you have put into this

[vectra666]

Forgot the upgrade and repeat hearts still to do lol.

[Bencrest]

Must admit it does look absolutely stunning, especially the red / blue text. Now you know about the 'whatthefont' site too, that'll be handy for future layouts.

 

Assuming you did the text yourself, you should be really proud of what you are achieving these days. I'm not generally a fan of 1366x768 layouts but I'll be firing this up on my old 51" 720p plasma in the bedroom and playing the heck out of it. 

 

I suppose to be 100% it would be a case of sourcing the original reels and / or redrawing them, but I've nicked enough reels in my time, and as long as they are accurate that's fine.

[vectra666]

Ty bencrest yes I did all the handwritten stuff lots of resizing text and different lighting, won't be doing anything with this for a week and a bit as on hols in an hour lol. As for the reels I'll prob use tommys but I'll have a go at the remaking part as they don't look to difficult might leave the original hi lo reel in though except the no1 as looks too wide. Anyways must dash real slots to play lol.

[vectra666]

now finally completed the yellow hearts and resized etc

looks the mutts Vecs, if you need it testing..... 

[vectra666]

Almost Done the lamping side of things apart from loads of masking.
Got a small problem with the shortcuts/buttons.
They all work except the collect and take cash stack buttons I've put in C for collect and T for take cash, but when I press either one I'm getting invalid input error and the machine malfunctions so can't collect winnings. Any idea's?
Playing it in mfme9.4 due to no sound on 10.1. Can anybody tell me the shortcuts used in either the classic or the 1280dx of this as may help.
