man that's awesome elmerfud!

i agree, 3dr has their box designed already. give elmerfud a free copy of the game to use this design, please!!!!!!

simple but highly attractive, what an eyecatcher!

[Gryph]

I'm pretty sure the final box design will have a picture of Duke on it. He's an iconic video game character so he must be in a cool pose like the DN3D cover.

elmerfud!!!

you know what to do! get duke onto that cover keeping the overall look the same.

the nuke symbol must stay on the cover though.

[Duoae]

Shame it didn't work for me......

[Elmurfud]

Well if I had an image (in a close enough perspective) of Duke pointing guns straight at you. Say from the waist up that could work. I'd make it fade out towards the bottom of the case.

But I don't. Nor do I have an airbrush to draw one then make it look good. oh well. I geuss simplistic it will stay.

/me taps Elmurfud on the shoulder. Psst, on one of your side views, the 3DR logo is backwards, as well as the title, heh I know ya just flipped it, but might as well correct these tiny glitches to make it perfect

[hell-angel]

those metallic designs rule guys. Nice going.

Elmurfud:

Good stuff. What did you use? PSP?

EXCEPTIONAL!!!

[Nacho]

These are all kick ass! MAKE MORE!

[motionblur]

Except from the Nukes on each side to open the box it looks familiar:




Not that it's a bad thing because the UT Collecto's edition looks cool (if only it was a *real* tin box - not only 3 sides with paper glued to it ).

I think a DNF collector's edition in a solid box would be cool

[Elmurfud]

I have never seen that! Now I want a DVD player and that! I have the CD-rom set. So until now haven't seen a good enough reason to go DVD. I also heard the editor was better on the DVD and since I make maps, that just makes it all the nicer.

[Gryph]

3DRealms has already licensed the engine so they should go ahead and license that box too.

Why should the editor on the DVD be any different from the Discs set?
The diference between the 2 editions is:
- DVD instead of 6 Discs (I don't see why anyone would rather buy CDs anyways)
- A bbonus DVD with several hours of video tutorials on Level-editing, modelling, scripting etc.
- a Logitech Headset

You didn't even know that one existed? hm....
Good luck in finding one of these. This was the limited edition. I'm not sure about how many of those are still eround.
well ... you'll probably be able to find one. But I'm not sure on how easy.

/looks over to the box standing next to him...
I got mine *g*

Allready found one.

And the editor is supposed to be the same one as used by Epic to make the game. It does seem a little different. Though I don't know yet if I would say better.


As to why I don't buy games on DVD's normally:

-DVD players are slower then CD-roms.

-DVD lasers burn out easier.

-Most games in my area come out first on CD.

-CD's are a well established format and not going anywhere soon.

-DVD's are a test format and will be obsolete soon as the market is shifting towards blue ray.

-When Your unemployed you buy whats cheaper.

-I have yet to find a DVD drive that can come close to holding a candle to my 75x CD-rom drive.

And finaly.

-I don't like all the pushy/rude DVD fans out there trying to shove DVD in my face.

Yeah DVD is newer. But that dosn't make it better. It's only redeeming factor at the moment, is it's storage capacity.

Can you repeat that Peter? I believe I had something crazy in my ear.
/Cleveland mode off

-DVD lasers burn out easier.

Compared to what?

-CD's are a well established format and not going anywhere soon.

And DVDs aren't?

-DVD's are a test format and will be obsolete soon as the market is shifting towards blue ray.

It was a test format, YEARS AGO!

Yeah DVD is newer. But that dosn't make it better. It's only redeeming factor at the moment, is it's storage capacity.

And CDs have so much more to offer than DVDs?

[Elmurfud]

I fully expected this. Some DVD fanatic was bound to get there feathers ruffled and post some sort of a "retort".

Frankly your welcome to think what you wan't I live in a free country where everyone has freedom of speech and the right to there own opinion. But I am not going to base my opinion off yours I base mine off egineering tech docs, benchmarks, maket analysis, and feild performance.

I am not going into a rebuttle of your opinion cause frankly this thread has been hijacked way more then it should have been.


So back to the point truely at hand. Does anyone have more case design ideas?

If you have an idea. But don't feel you have the artistic skill to make it. You can PM me the idea (that is if you feel I have the artistic skill to do enough justice to your masterpeice) I will be glad to make it for you or simply help you make it. All creative credit will be yours.

[Orochi Avlis]

It's true that we live in countries of free speech, and everybody has the right to express their opinion.
But what you posted isn't facts, they aren't even true nor accurate. You posted personal opinions.
And because of me opposing what you said makes me a DVD fanatic?

Some of what I said was opinion some of what I said was fact.
If you wish to argue this I will. In general messages or the harware thread.

[Elmurfud]

Ok I had to add to the box i made. This is the jewel case to go with it.


This is the idea for the funtionality. The slots would be lined in that weird fiborous protective stuff.

http://gamerzunlimited.net/mtbpman/temp/JCsketch.jpg

This is my photoshop mockup of the idea.

[Elmurfud]

I realized that I hadn't covered the actual cd. So here it is in all it's unraging glory.

A CD design by anyone may be thuroughly pointless if they are going with electronic delivery. Of course if thats the case I won't be buying it. I am just to stingy to buy a something that I don't get a pyhsical product for, it grates against every fiber of my being.

Regardless of whether they make a hard release of the game or not I see know harm in wasting a 1/2hour to make/post this idea for a cd that matches my case design. Which may also be thuroughly pointless.

Oh well had fun doing it.

Cool stuff, i hope 3DR will use a similar style...

[bubba]

aint great but its about taking part that counts right ?

[vivftp]

Yeah, very nice man... but of course in the grand sceheme of things NO other picture even comes CLOSE to my original masterpiece!

http://img91.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img91&image=DNF.jpg

[The Count]

I hadn`t seen all those great drafts in the first place - the metal box is really super-cool and makes you dream...
is it known which artist has created the "official" pictures of duke with his guns years ago?

[Elmurfud]

well thanx I am glad people like it and the whole idea.

If they do put out hard copies, and if they do go with an idea based off this design; once it comes out and I buy me a copy (which would be the very instant I have the money) I am gonna drive the 60 miles over to their offices in plano and see if I can get them to autograph it.

If they do release hard copies but not ones that are even influenced by my idea (most likely that it won't be) I will still buy it the instant I have money but I won't be bothering them for autographs. I rather hate driving through Dallas.

Ok, using my amazing MS Paint and Photoshop skills, here's my little homage to Elmurfud's picture... it's not the best, but you get the idea

http://img10.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img10...=DNFBOXART.jpg

I won't get in trouble if I spread this pic, will I?

[Elmurfud]

I have 2 questions for 3dr.

1: Presuming you did use some variation of my box idea (I am not making that assumption never fear)and I showed up to get your autographs, there wouldn't some guy with a rubberglove waiting for me? 'Cause I don't want an autograph that bad.

2: What would be a good topic for another one of these design a box or ad type of threads? I am board.

LOL! "Let me outa this thing you alien bastards!"

[Joe Siegler]

IceT does it once again!

Badass!

[Gryph]

Now that is a cool case.

[KaiserSoze]

ice tea kicks all kinds of ass.

[The Count]

this could be Duke from a stripper`s point of view, I think..

great work ! and yes - release Him

[RedSplat]

Dammit! It's RedSplat!

If someone wants to use that DVD box image here's an empty one: http://thijs.saalmink.nl/boxdnf.jpg

[5ththrax]

Heres a try...not even close to wut u guys did.

[Micki!]

I like the Picture alot...
But it doesn't fit as a Retail box IMO...
