Famiclub Arena - Sunrise.01

[Fruitality]

Famiclub Arena is a creative, non-competitive, video game logo design jam focused on a singular fictional game.

This will be the first in an ongoing series of casual design jams for Famiclub members. If you have any ideas for future jams, let us know!

The Famiclub Arena jam will go something like this:

1. Sign-ups for the Arena will be open for 1 week.
2. Post in the thread below with your suggested fictional video game title. Try to think of something creative or interesting that could apply to a video game from any platform or era, and isn't a title that is already a popular game or franchise.
3. When sign-ups close, the game title will be chosen at random from the submitted titles.
4. Each entrant will be randomly assigned a specific game platform (PC, PSP, Game Boy Color, SEGA CD, and so on!)
5. Jam! Entries should be posted in the Arena thread within 2 weeks of the jam starting. (or y'know, whenever you finish. we're all busy.)

It's up to you whether you want to design just a logo, or a cartridge or media artwork, or a game cover or case! It's all good!

Sign-up for Famiclub Arena will close on Friday 26 May. and then the jam will begin next weekend!

Leave any questions or feedback in the thread also. If there are any issues, we can refine the format as we go!

Thanks again for being part of Famiclub


PS: Please help our little community grow by telling your friends about Famiclub, and encouraging them to join the jam! <3

I am obviously in and my game title submission is:

'Wizards!'

[malyzar]

I'm in! My title idea is: KNIGHTFALL. (Which is technically already taken by a multi-player indie game. However it appears to be a dead game, so maybe that's ok?)

[phearhead]

I'm absolutely in! The title of my game will be...

Sunrise.01

Can't wait to see what platform I get!

[Fruitality]

The random number generator has spoken...



---

The title of the first Famiclub Arena is:

Sunrise.01
Submitted by @phearhead

And we'll each be making a version of Sunrise.01 for the following platforms:

@Fruitality : Sony PlayStation 3
@malyzar : SEGA Game Gear
@phearhead : SEGA Dreamcast
@andrewelmore : SEGA Saturn

These were also chosen with a random number generator on the top 50 platforms on mobygames (and then rerolled a few times to avoid generics like Linux)

There's not really any more rules here - make the logo or cover art to whatever specs you think are best, and have fun! Post it in this thread when you're done, or if you'd like any feedback or assistance along the way. This isn't a competition, so lets help eachother make some cool shit!

Can't wait to see what we come up with!

ALSO: entries will remain open, if anybody else wants to jump in at this time. Just post in here and I'll assign you a platform, or if you'd prefer to choose a platform on your own, then that's cool too!

[malyzar]

Hell yeah. I've got an idea cooking. Excited to show and see what you all come up with.

[andrewelmore]

[phearhead]

Aww yeah! I'm working on something right now! Debating if I should mock it up like a Dreamcast game, as well, or just in the style of one... hmmm...

[phearhead]

Sorry to double post, but I figured I would add another with my entry! Sunrise.01 for the Sega Dreamcast...

[malyzar]

NICELY DONE. I love how the slash in the zero connects with the one!

[phearhead]

NICELY DONE. I love how the slash in the zero connects with the one!

Thanks! That's definitely my favorite part, as well. lol

[andrewelmore]

Instead of a whole key art mockup I'm doing a Japanese logo and an American logo lol

oh MAN Josh that's gorgeous

[malyzar]

Here’s my submission. Going for a futuristic / sci-fi vibe, as that’s what the “.01” of SUNRISE.01 evokes for me.



The below graphic is meant to be part of a print ad. I wanted to go a little ominous with my concept and imply that the sunrise was a bad thing. Can you outrun the sun? Fast pace and high stakes!



And here's a very aggressive promo. Maybe part of another print ad. I really like the glow and chaos of this thing:



A very fun jam! My only regret is that I probably could have better incorporated the ".01," but I'm happy with what I came up with.

Adding a couple more images as spoilers to keep this post from getting too long:

Here's a clearer view of the start screen:



Below are some other ideas I had, including an edit to the final logo meant to more clearly evoke a horizon. Lots going on here. Another sci-fi thing, a vampire game, and maybe a rhythm game? Very fun!

That's all for now. Long live Famiclub!
