A few weeks ago, I had decided that I would go through some Spectrum games that had truly woeful loading screens and redo them, hopefully making them better. Along with is, my idea was to blog the whole creations from start to finish showing how I went about creating each loading screen.
I decided to choose Elite's software's conversion of Capcoms Ghosts 'N Goblins.
The game itself may not look pretty but played pretty aces. But the loading screen was awful.
So, after hunting around, I found that I really didn't like most of the original promo artwork from Capcom and so got to looking at their artwork for Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins. That's when I found this which I decided to use for the new ZX Spectrum loading screen :
After 2 weeks off and on, I finished this afternoon, and here it is. 2 versions, one without the logo and one with. I can tell you, it's been a real challenge.
Hope you like it.
And, here's a time-lapse animation of the creation of the loading screen.
