Germanname's Wheel of Fortune

Thanks, WipeoutMan. BTW, I forgot to show three Million Dollar Faceoff Bonus Layouts.
I will tell you that the Nighttime Million Dollar Faceoff Special is the final episode of every season, where the season's top winners (excluding whoever's the current champ at the end of the season as they've still yet to lose) play for a chance at winning $2,000,000! It works just like the 1975 Hour-Long shows only at the end, the winner of the Head-to-Head Faceoff round (the one who solves the puzzle of course) spins the Wheel. Whatever (s)he spins up, that's what (s)he wins, guaranteed, period. So, that means (s)he will win anywhere from $50,000 up to $1,000,000. If (s)he has earned any +Million tokens, his/her chances of becoming a millionaire has increased. The winner starts off with one free chance and can earn up to two more. by spinning the +Million wedge in the Faceoff round. If, however, (s)he brings the double Play token all the way to the Bonus Spin round, (s)he will win anywhere from $100,000 to $2,000,000!

Now let's go back in time a bit, before Billy Gnehm (my Sonic fursona) was host. Here's what the version Billy currently hosts looked like in 1985.

Now the specials in 1985 were not an hour long, but they occured on last week of each season with the season's biggest winner.

germanname, that is nothing short of AMAZING!!!

Yeah, and on top of that, you have a light blue space just clockwise of it. Strangely, on some of their official layouts, they have it dark green. Eventually, they should let go of the neon housing. It was okay when they introduced it back in 2009, but today, the wedge shouldn't look as if it's that big of a deal anymore.

As for the Express, I agree it should be red at some point since its blue hue is close to its own adjacent blue wedge.

Apart from all that, I'm glad you like my stuff. BTW, I have yet to show you my 70s layouts. I'm sorry for having you wait for so long after I submitted them.

Here are my 1974 pilot layouts. You will notice that I did not include Buy A Vowel. You'll also notice I sandwiched the top dollar value between the smallest value and Bankrupt as opposed to that less exciting smallest value/Bankrupt/biggest value rubbish.

There were two pilots taped in 1974. The first used the above four layouts. The second used the four below. A studio joke would dub the below four layouts as nighttime layouts when the show started airing nighttime specials in 1978.

In 1978, Wheel started doing nighttime hour-long specials.

Today, December 29, is the day where I celebrate 10 years at DeviantArt, who hosts over thirty-five hundred pieces of my work, including over two thousand Wheel of Fortune illustrations.

I did a nice little drawing to commemorate my tenth anniversary which features a Wheel of Fortune element.

Few updates here and there to my adaption. First, the Last Chance puzzles are only on Redemption Week, which is the first week of every season. Redemption Week is for those who have left the show without solving any puzzles on their first appearance, although they still get a $1000 consolation prize. Although not every contestant who ends up this way may make Redemption Week, contestants have better odds of making Redemption Week if they have been given few opportunities to play, blunder up, were on a show which had a special event, and/or if their winning opponent goes on to win the top prize in the Bonus Round or does something to achieve fame.

Second, in the show's Mystery Round, if the $10,000 cash prize via the Mystery Wedges is won, a Wheel Watchers Club Member gets $10,000.
As my adaption no longer uses the Mystery Round yet still uses the Jackpot Round unlike the show, a Wheel Watchers Club Member (which originally awarded $5000 every day for the past ten years) gets the amount in the Jackpot if the Jackpot is won.
Even if the Jackpot isn't won, a home viewer can still win $5000. Either way, the Member's SPIN ID is mentioned at the end of the Jackpot Round (which is Round 1).


Third, like on the show, the winning contestant can choose between one of three categories for the Bonus Round. On my version, it's structured a little differently to resemble that of the structure used on Wheel 2000 in that the two categories that weren't chosen will be options on the next episode along with a category to replace the chosen category.



But there's another rule to my Bonus Round. Cash prizes of $33,000 and $34,000 have been added as well as a fourth chance for a car and $5000. If you're unable to bring the $1,000,000 wedge (which has a face value of $500) or the $2,000,000 wedge (which can be earned by using the Double Play, landing on the $1,000,000 wedge, and calling a correct letter for $1000 per occurrence; otherwise works like the $1,000,000 wedge) into the Bonus Round, $100,000 is still a value you can play for, but it's no longer the top prize apart from the seven-figure jackpots. Instead it's $200,000! Although I was originally, think upon $250,000, I felt it was a little too much considering the $1,000,000 wedge and the fact that my version uses the returning champions format which originally had a keep-playing-until-you-lose format but has since been brought down to five appearances as the original format has proven to be anti-climactic.

Here are my updated Bonus Round layouts. Note these layouts are impressions that show the value frequency of what can be won in the Bonus Round on my adaption. The only differences are of the top prizes.

Also, here's what my intro animation and Puzzle Board look like these days.

^ We'll see what happens on that, @acegreen. Anyway, here are some sample spiels I did just the other day. I was thinking about doing these for a while, but after seeing PARANOiAMAX's Wheel model, I decided to make them happen.

BTW, for those who James Palos is in the first video, he's the announcer on my version.

A quick update on my submission plans. As Sunday is believed to be fifty years to the day that the Shopper's Bazaar pilot was taped, I plan to show off some Shopper's Bazaar-inspired layouts at DeviantArt. The following Sunday, October 15th, will be fourteen years to the day I introduced my Wild Card design to the world via DeviantArt. That's why I am waiting until then to show my revamped layouts. I was originally planning on showing everything on October 15th, but after taking into account that Pat Sajak will be turning 77 on October 26th, I decided to hold off some of my layouts until then. Also on October 26th, I will show at Instagram some exciting work-in-progress sneak peeks of some very special Wheel of Fortune drawings that I'm working on. I am definitely looking forward to showing you folks everything as the month progresses.

Great job germanname1990
It looks even more better along with your bonus wheel & prize wedges.
