Bitmob Game Club: Just about ready! *Updated*

I've seen everyone's enthusiasm to get this Game Club rolling, so I figured I'd do a small update. 

If you don't know what this is, I suggest reading this first.

I need everyone interested to email me - this way we can all communicate easily and quickly. Email me here: jcosmocohen [at] gmail [dot] com. Be sure and tell me what your name is so I know who you are! And if you wouldn't mind putting "Bitmob Game Club" in the subject line, that would be great. Also, I will respond as quickly as I can, but unfortunately I won't be near a computer for quite some time tomorrow. Anyway...

Four people will be picked randomly to participate, and we'll definitely switch-it-up to get everyone involved that wants to be. 

Okay, one last thing. I made a logo and I want some honest feedback. I tried to keep at as simple as possible. If it sucks I'll ditch it and have someone else do it. Let me know.

 

Oh! One last thing. It looks like everyone has agreed to Cave Story. Is that still good?

 

*Update*

If you'd like in on the first round, I need your email submission by Friday night, September 4th, at midnight (East Coast time). After that, you can still email me and be part of the Club, but you won't be considered for the first Game Club post.

The logo isn't bad, it isn't great, but not bad.
I'll be sending a email some time soon.

Not a bad first attempt at a logo, Cosmo. My main comment would be to size it wide enough (540-570px) that it fits nicely at the top of the post, or small enough (200px or so) that it looks good floated to the right of the first paragraph. That way you can have a recurring image that looks good at the top of every Game Club post.

Looking forward to the first installment, guys!

wonder what y'all will come up with
Toby Davis , September 02, 2009
@ Brett - Good call! Thanks! I think I'll make it big enough to fit across the top.

No offense, but I don't really like the logo. The people kind of look like Zol's from The Legend of Zelda.


Also the top and bottom controller wires aren't lined up, and the left a right controller wires aren't the same length.

The way the logo is designed, it should probably be symmetrical.

Anyway, maybe we could all develop logos and have a mini-contest. If you want I could take care of that.

Either way, I sent my e-mail.

Is Cave Story available on a Mac?

I like the concept for the logo, but why not get rid of the green Dudes all together, and just have the four controllers?

But I am no artist so I will just shut-up....
Lance Darnell , September 02, 2009
@ James - Okay, let's do that! If you can take care of it, that would fantastic!

@ Lance - I think it is. Okay, no green dudes...Done! But let's see what everyone else comes up with, 'cause I'm sure there are much better artists out there.

If you're still looking for a logo, I just whipped this up if you'd like to use it:

Benjamin Torrey , September 02, 2009
@ Benjamin - That's fantastic! If James sets-up the contest, be sure and submit that!
J. Cosmo Cohen , September 02, 2009
I don't think we need a contest, that is awesome!
Lance Darnell , September 02, 2009
I made a slight edit to it -- the "E" was bothering me

Benjamin Torrey , September 02, 2009
@ Lance - I really like it too! My vote is currently for Benjamin's.
J. Cosmo Cohen , September 02, 2009
I like Benjamin's entry as well. I love the general Bitmob space invaders theme.
David Matos , September 02, 2009
I definitely like Benjamin's better, but if this is going to be a recurring feature, I don't know if we should just settle.

It's up to you guys. (Particularly Cosmo and Lance, since they took the lead on this.)
James DeRosa , September 02, 2009
I finally signed up... Happy?

I love that logo Benjamin made. Very nice.
Ernest Huntley , September 02, 2009
Welcome Ernest and hope to see you post as well.
Toby Davis , September 02, 2009
@ Ernest - Yes! I knew you couldn't resist!

J. Cosmo Cohen , September 02, 2009
@ James - If you have one, definitely show it off. Anyone else, too. And if you still want to do a contest, please do. I'd love to see what everyone is capable of!
