[re: v2] | #16, or it's the fact that the entire box has a grand total of two pictures, one who's main feature is a landscape, the other is a masked (non emotive) character looking at something.. Edited @ 5:21PM 10/04/08 |

[re: v2] | I think if you and MARKER made a collab we would have to shut down the site for a couple days to recover from the box shock syndrome. This box is amazing, you kept the Mad Spike style but made it different than your others. Great look great work. |

[re: v2] | #24, Shut down the site? Dude, It would obviously crash everyone's computers and make rainbows shoot out of everyone's eyeballs. That or seizures Edited @ 9:20PM 10/04/08 |

[re: v2] | #18, Lulz at non-emotive. And I think you forgot the part where he made all the art, that's what makes this so special. |

[re: v2] | Mad_Spike, I have to say that this is not a very good design. A package is supposed to give an essence of a game....tell you what it's about, and convince you to buy it. This does neither. It's boring, it's plain, it's empty, and it tells absolutely nothing about what the game is about, how it looks, or even what kind of game it is. From an art standpoint, the images are very nice, and if you did make them, you did a very good job. But from a design standpoint for packaging, it is not very good |

[re: v2] | #29, It's also called "Unofficial" boxarts. They don't have to make you want to but the game, as long as it looks good. |

[re: v2] | #29, I'm sure Koopa didn't tell you to say that or anything. |

[re: v2] | #31, ok so you really think I can't have my own opinion ? c'mon man wake up please !! Still talking of Koopa as I see well yeah Koopa is one of my friend on VGBA but he has his own opinion and I have mine.. did I agreed with all what he does on the site ? no and I am sure you already know that so why would I post his opinion on my own account ? eh ? why would I do this. you're not that stupid right ? so please next time make sure you know what you're talking about !! |

[re: v2] | #29, It's not a usual promo box to sell the game (by the way it is a mod - it's free for all). It's something special. I don't want you to buy this game - I want you to look at this box ;) #28, What a stupid mistake LOL :) Will be fixed in next update. |

[re: v2] | #32, We know it's not you, because you'd never use that grammar and spelling in your usual posts. Do us a favor, and stop being Koopa's messenger boy, mmm'kay? |

[re: v3] | It is a very atmospheric and a good showcase of the art he created. I'm not really bothered if it doesn't have screenshots and loads of text, it does not have to be conventional. Maybe judge it for what he set out to do, not what you think it should be, or something like that. |

[re: v3] | #27, I can't fucking believe you're actually comparing this to a satire box. Honestly, cue Price-Is-Right Fail buzzer. |
Comment Rules:
Comments are meant to provide the author with feedback on their work. Constructive criticism is the rule! If you merely say "this sucks!" or attack the author, your comment will be deleted and you will be banned if continued. Do not bump your own box, and do not beg for comments and favorites.
You must make an effort to spell correctly and use proper grammar. If you can't be bothered to post coherently and spell out "you" instead of "u" (as an example), don't bother posting at all.

I will remember that Humanity Factor is canseled single player modification for Half-Life2. All of the promo-artworks are made by me. Few words about the box. I tried so many things on the back (screenshots, text, features) but everything is just blocking the view and looks claustrophobic. I hope you will upreciate the "originality" of the back cover.
Also I visualized a background and the tube :) Hope you will like it too. In case you dont - there are a version one with regular showcase.
Favs and Comments are welcome. Enjoy!
