Space Channel 5 part 2 came out on Valentine’s Day this year. I joked to my friend Jake who is on the team that made it that I was worried I would be home with Ulala, the main character for Space Channel 5 on Valentine’s Day because I had no girlfriend to take out that night. Fortunately I managed to make a real date for Valentine’s Day so I didn’t actually have a chance to play until now.
This game is AWESOME. Of course if you don’t like watching cute women playing music and doing sexy dances in front of you or musicals then I maybe this is not for you but I love it. It’s even better than the first, at least so far, and I was completely addicted to the first one. So much so that I bought the soundtrack, the mix CD, made my computer desktop a shot from the game and I made 3 clocks *1*, *2*, *3*. Two of which I sent to Sega, one for Jake and one for the art director, Miyabe-san who, according to Jake, keep in on her desk.
How did you make them? Is there a clock-making kit out there in stores somewhere?
You don't need a kit. Go to any store that sells clocks. Ikea, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target. Buy one. Take it apart, measure the faceplate (the piece of cardboard or wood that has the hour marks on it). Load up Photoshop or Illustrator or your favorite image software and make a circle the same size as the face. Now print it out in black and white on plain paper. This is so you can tell if it's really going to fit. If not adjust the size until it does. Once it's the right size, fill in the inside with something and print it out on photo paper, mat or glossy, your preference but make sure it's good paper and make sure you tell the printer you are using good paper. It will look great, even with one of those $50 epson printers.
Tada, clocks.
I saw these at last November's DesignFesta (I've been too lazy to post a page about it)
About 2 weeks later I saw those same clocks, without the cute designs in them, in a 100 yen shop ($99 cent store).
Thanks for the tip, Gregg. Should have been able to figure it out for myself, now that I know there's no rocket science involved. Now to find some clocks.
i hope you like the game and remember ulala is watching over you !!!
