Hey everyone, I'm posting representing an up-and-coming gaming site called videogam.in. We're really excited about the site launch (hopefully sometime early next year), and once we're live I hope to see some of you frequenting what is sure to be an amazing site.
Anyways, I'm on staff at the site, and I've been writing coverage on Cactus' games for our massive game database, but I realized that since Cactus' games never had boxes, they don't have boxart! Sad...
So then I thought 'hey! There's a lot of wonderful and talented people on the Cactus forums!'
So here's the deal: From now until midnight on December 31st, 2008, you can submit entries for mockup boxart to any of Cactus' games. I've decided not to put any kind of restrictions on size or format (although the image must be either a .gif, .jpg, or .bmp). Just post your image here on this thread, or, if you're shy and don't want the world to see your awesomness, then you can just PM me your image.
After the deadline hits, all the entries will be grouped according to game, and then Matt (the head of videogam.in), Cactus, and I will choose the best of the best of the best to be permanently featured on videogam.in (and probably elsewhere eventually).
This contest is being run simultaneously on these forums and the videogam.in forums (which are currently on closed beta, but will open soon).
I've probably forgotten a number of things, but if so, I'll come back here and edit this. For now, good luck to everybody and I can't wait to see some entries!

Ok, due to a screw-up on my part on another board, the deadline has been moved to Jan. 31st of next year. Also, Matt at videogam.in has requested that you forego .bmps in favor of .pngs, as we have changed the upload form.
Also, where are the entries? There are too many fabulous artists on this site to have not seen anything yet! There's a lot of Cactus games that desperately need sweet boxart, and you all are the people to do it!

Awesome, I was worried earlier about the lack of .png thing. I've actually got one box art almost done (except for text), so I'll post that later on.

Okay, here's an entry! I originally was doing this as a promo poster for JohtoKen's Mondo Agency translation, but asked him for permission to also use it for box art instead. It's vector, so if you need it smaller or larger, just let me know. Mondo AgencyHmm, what to do next...I might give Medicals a try, but I'm having a bit of a hard time coming up with a concept for it that doesn't totally spoil all of the awesome parts right on the cover.
