Mortal Kombat HD Remix with MUGEN

Hi Calactyte

Thanks for the feedback. The only support I need is, well from a creative director such as yourself. Would there be any ideas on how you would like the characters posed for the pages, i.e fight stance / in action? I would apply sort of the select your character screen motif to the pages, and have the images boxed off.

Perhaps an image from the select your character pics + a Bio. Then a large illustration (drawn & coloured) with the moves and hints etc. on the right of the big illustration.

Thoughts?
 
That would be cool, but juano16 would need to readjust some code for 16:9 display. Not sure if that screws everything up or not. Is juano16's MK2 game accurate to the original?

I want to ask sething right quick about a post someone made I forget who saying they have begun working on a mk2 hd for future release etc.

Would it be possible to use the programming juano16 did for his mk2 game? If so then all you would have to do is litwrally replace the images with your hd images to make the game... true some adjustments would have to be made but the programming would be done.

Is that possible?

I think you guys are doing a good job and you shouldn't let stuff get to you guys... I knew that carz guy was a smartellic a long time ago when I was talking to you about the timing of the scorpion fatality.

If you get to the point to qhwrw you arw ready to quit or walk away and just give out what you did or think about doing so... the best thing is to just take a break a while and completely empty your mind about the game until you become rwfreshed and want to do something on it.

If your working on something and are tired or aggrivated you will not be at your best and things wont be as good as they can be.

Take my word for it... relaxing and having fun is wherw its at and this stuff is suppose to be fun.

I have the upmost respect for you guys and appreciate this creation. I look forwars to seeing the final product.

I agree with this guy:

http://www.strategyguidereviews.com/2011/04/sad-week-strategy-guides-primas-mortal-kombat/

Though he might be immature/crazy for burning it at the end of the video.

So lets stay away from having screen shots everywhere used as filler.

I think it would be cool to do paintings for each of the environments in the game (Goro's Lair, Throne Room, Palace Gates etc.)

Would be cool to have a fighting scene between two characters as the main cover art. Maybe Scorp and Subzero?

Would be cool to have character portraits, just their shoulder, neck, head.

But it would also be cool to have full page graphics of the characters in environments. I like the idea of them posing in fight stance, but it might be cooler showing them execute their signature move.

Everything else you've said from a layout perspective sounds awesome. Have fun with it.

I know you guys probably have sound/music covered, but thought I'd offer any help if it's needed. I do freelance audio engineering - more of the mixing/mastering side rather than compositions - so if you need any help on that side of audio I'd love to have a go at a track, if Justin would be open to hearing a fresh set of ears on the mix only. I think he's doing a great job on the compositions and everything, don't want to mess with that lol. Or even if it's just editing sfx, getting things are normalized and formatted right I'd be glad to help out.

Hey man, sorry I missed this!

This would be awesome actually. As I'm sure you know, Mastering is pretty much a separate artform from what I'm doing, so if that's your specialty then more power to you. A universal normalization, etc. would definitely be welcome! Just let me know what ya need!


This goes out to everyone: If anyone has the desire and tools to help make Sound Effects for the game then please jump in. There's quite a list of them so the more people helping out on this front the better.

Looks good. I would like to see some work in color. How can we support you in starting this project?

Hi Cal

Just an old scorpion pic I posted a few years ago on MKO, drawn in traditional media, then colours were done in PS.

http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/fansub/Images/3516.jpg

Anyways, I have started with scorpion for the "Prima Guide". Just nailed the pose and started with some details. I will post a pic when its at a decent stage.

Looks good. A little gamma correction would help though.

@marcop
Nice work man. Do you plan on taking liberties with the desing, or keeping it simple MK1 style? Bleed had an awesome MK1 Scorpion action posed sketch earlier in the thread, maybe he can show it again. I'd like to see you pull something like that, stay true to the original costumes design and keep the actor likness and see how that goes.

Hi la luna. Yeah strictly original costumes etc., no liberties with the characters so it ties in with everybody's work.

@uker, thanks for the feedback on the image, it was done like 7 years ago so learnt a lot since then. Will keep an eye on the gamma. Perhaps my screen wasn't calibrated correctly back then.
 
The only problem with the correction Uker did to that particular picture is it washes out a certain percentage of the detail. Particularly in the brighter areas of the picture.
 
Yeah, I guess I also did some exposure increase and I probably didn't check for clipping.

Excuse the poor quality it was snapped quickly on iPhone.

A strat guide seems silly for a game with 7 chars with
2/3 special moves.

Back in the day we printed these moveslists up on
one sheet of computer paper.

Seems REALLY awkward to me that the forward leg is the opposite from the hand throwing the spear.
Looks strikingly unnatural.

Hi uKER. Thanks for the feedback. The reason I drew him like that, although awkward, is how scorpion throws his spear in MK1, from his Trailing hand & leg.
For artistic purposes this could be changed, but well it kind of gives the impression of "in motion" IMO. Would anybody else like to see the stance changed?

@Calactyte Thanks for the feedback. Details are being added in slowly. Trying to get D Pesina's likeness in there too...

@Tom Thanks for your comment Tom, its for nostalgic/fun purposes and just for people to enjoy some artwork by a fan.
