BoJaN Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It's just a quick render and would of course require a lot more polish.http://i.imgur.com/vKeLfgX.pngDefinitely the best one I've seen so far! The planets orbiting the pupil is what sold this one for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speadge Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 dont think its a selling argument as you have to know the game to get an idea of what the box is displaying at all - wont catch someone (new) in an electronics store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softweir Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 dont think its a selling argument as you have to know the game to get an idea of what the box is displaying at all - wont catch someone (new) in an electronics storeAbsolutely no game sells just from the box art these days - unless it is the latest in a long-running franchise that is most likely to be bought by previous players. For everything else, the best the box art can do is to announce "here is that game you read reviews about", and to do that it has to reference the art people are likely to see in the reviews, and include review quotes to confirm that it is the same game even if the prospective purchaser has forgotten the name. Of course a few people will buy a copy on the basis of good box art that somehow tickles their curiosity, so it is worth making sure the game lives up to expectations created by the box art; but that's not a major source of revenue.I think Charle_Rogers' entry does best at referencing the reviews. It includes Kerbals, spaceship images similar to ones used in reviews, and review quotes and scores. On that basis, not only is it high quality photo-composition, it is also a very good example of workable box art. And in my view it, like several others, also manages to match the game experience as far as any box art can match KSP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hektos Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Here we go! Here is my entry. I will post it to Twitter and the Steam Community Artwork as well. So only count this!http://i.imgur.com/8w2GPVW.jpgThis has definitely got to be my favorite so far, although the one from Charle_Roger comes in a close 2nd.

KerbalEssences Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Definitely the best one I've seen so far! The planets orbiting the pupil is what sold this one for me!Yey thanks! I just had this idea in my head and I had to get it out before I forget it so it was a relatively quick render. I'm personally not a big fan of screenshots on the front cover since they act as some sort of camouflage on a shelf full of games. They are great on the backside though! The front should be in my opinion an "eye catcher" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivec Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I was going to do both front and back, but school just kicked into full gear, so I'll have to turn in the front alone. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunIntended Consequences Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Submission 2/2, this time with original art! A bit unconventional for a game cover, but then again, when has Kerbal Space Program ever been conventional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wossname Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 There are some great ones in here, although the ones that look like GTA box art, or ones that feature Star Wars fonts are probably on shaky ground. I think there's enough content in the game that can be used so we don't have to resort to intellectual property that belongs to super-rich game companies or litigious movie producers.Regardless, great work guys, keep the creativity going!

Mainline421 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 My attempt:Squad should really find a publisher for physical copies of KSP, (I'm sure Excalibur Publishing for example would be interested) I'd buy it again! And having it in retail stores would cause a huge increase in sales. All my games are (PC) DVDs except digital only ones like KSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
