Of more than passing interest

Gaming is a big enough part of my life that I'll take some snapshots of it and post it up here. Today we'll look at resurrecting Aliens vs. Predator the CCG.

There's been quite a bit of renewed interest in this CCG, so I decided to dig up the info I have for the unreleased Atmosphere expansion and proxy up some cards. I have some of the planned image files, but the most important piece was the actual spoiler list.

So, what do I tackle first? Well, what should they look like? I looked at the original cards, which I liked, but trying to fix them so that I could enter new info on them would have been a trial. I didn't feel like whipping up anything new. So that meant looking at the first expansion, with the Resurrection stuff. I didn't like the look of the new cards, but they're definitely friendly to plugging in info. Scanned them up. So, let the cropping begin. Here's a human character card:


After I finish up these I'll tackle images. I plan on using some of the original, intended images, but this was supposed to be the expansion that put the original Predator movie in. So I'll be image capturing those images. This is a great chance to watch these movies again to look for the best images. Here's a quickie "Dutch":


I found fonts that match the Resurrection expansion pretty well, but perhaps I'll do up a different set for Atmosphere. We'll see. As this is only for the card titles, I'm not too worried about it at this point.

A project like this is mostly a list of finite tasks that builds up to time consuming:

-enter text
-capture images
-enter images

We'll see how it goes. I think I might just have to cave and buy the Aliens vs. Predator movies just to get more images. Wasn't so impressed by them, but can't beat some of the images for this kind of thing.

(Fast forward a few hours to a few minutes between classes)

Here's Major Dutch, a Work In Progress:



Any suggestions for fonts? Right now it's basicaly Arial and Digital-7.

EDIT: Added the Dutch WIP
