CRUSH

Making an arcade cabinet is interesting....


I spent the past couple of days figuring out this cabinet for CRUSH. Most of the difficulties have been tech issues. The goal of the cabinet is to do a mirror projection like the cabinets from the late 70's, early 80's. The issues I encountered:

1. Game runs on windows, but windows doesn't allow for inverting the screen to show in a mirror - not without expensive hardware.

2. Linux will invert the code through the command line, but the game won't run the NWJS app and after 15+ hours trying to solve this. I've settle on running it as HTML5 through my site, which will introduce some else I'll talk about later.

I found a frame for $1.50 at Habitat for Humanity that make the cabinet look cool.

As this is my first cabinet - I may not have this be for CRUSH. So i'm going to move these post over to my dev account so follow me, @saltandpixel to follow the progression of this project.

Last night's stream was productive.

Just posting new art I've made.

A dungeon crawler I'm working on.

I was hoping that some of you could help me out. If you have a google play account - could you download and review Pixels Hallows Eve - It's Free! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saltandpixel.p…

What would you do?

Listen kids. Life can be harsh and beat you up. But don't let it convince you to give up. I'm working on an SCP Site simulator and Backroom-like game. I'll be sharing those soon. I'm making an effort on my social media again. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WOnnNoQHYEM

The previous computer was all jacked up. It wouldn't boot linux for the HDD. I went out to Goodwill and bought this. I'm going to strip the monitor down and design a cabinet for CRUSH.

So this is more exciting for me then you, but It's still pretty cool. I'm turning this old laptop into a linux system to boot CRUSH - like an arcade cabinet.

Arena A art for CRUSH is finished. Now on the Arena B
