time for something simple Why yes, this sprite competition is gonna be based on our lovable little torpedo ted! Looks like this one's gonna be a piece of cake! Anyway, these are the rules: - 10 colors maximum - Try to be creative on this one. It looks like only one animation can be done with this mario character, but you can always make more than one, maybe based on different direction and perspective! All entries are due in a week, as always. Good luck. |

| cool, might whip something up when I get on MY computer. Sticky Please? |
| Posted by: Private Investigator Drei Feb 28 2009, 05:46 PM |
| I'll actually enter this one. I like Torpedo Ted better than the Ptooie Plant. |
| Posted by: Ndsfreak Feb 28 2009, 05:46 PM |
| FUCK YEAH I LOVE TROPDO TEDWARD Ok, entering. I like Bullet Bills and the such. |

 WIP. C+C please. Going for the Cave Story style again. |
| Posted by: Fez Feb 28 2009, 07:50 PM |
| clarification, do you mean 10 colours per sprite, or for the entire sheet? |
| Posted by: Grant Feb 28 2009, 08:04 PM | ||
I don't know if it's part of the style or what, but those have hardly any shading on them. |
| Posted by: Tuna Unleashed Feb 28 2009, 08:40 PM |
 he's strong to the finish 'cause he eats his spinach he's Teddy the Sailor Man toot toot |

| I do believe I shall enter as well |

mine is weird |
| Posted by: Pickleboy Mar 1 2009, 02:54 AM |
I haven't done a comp. since Monty Mole. I'll give this one a shot... I guess I'll call this an M&L style, though I can't decide which one... It seems too detailed to be an MLSS, but not enough to be MLPiT or MLRPG3... but here it is anyway. Oh, and I guess it should be flipped if you're going traditional ML-styled battle system. |
| Posted by: Sergeant DeeY Mar 1 2009, 02:55 AM |
| Torpedo ted's.... I'll probably enter! EDIT: My entry  |
| Posted by: 404_not_found Mar 1 2009, 06:16 AM |
| Ok, i made something. |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Mar 1 2009, 07:05 AM |
Yet another competitor appeared with a fresh Torpedo Ted sheet! |
| Posted by: seldeslim Mar 1 2009, 08:20 AM | ||
the whole sheet |
| Posted by: 404_not_found Mar 1 2009, 09:24 AM | ||
Am i wrong, or, why i founded 11colors at this? |
| Posted by: Ndsfreak Mar 1 2009, 01:49 PM | ||
Its only ten. Pickleboy's sheet however, contains 36. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Mar 1 2009, 01:54 PM | ||
Making it invalid, correct? |
| Posted by: Fez Mar 1 2009, 02:40 PM |
| final question, are we counting transparent as a colour? And I'm feeling more motivated for this comp. EDIT: I feel like posting a preview of what I have so far. I will post the full sheet later. how is it? |
| Posted by: Des Mar 1 2009, 03:25 PM |
 yarr harr harr and a bottle of rum i like how the hand turned out :v and the wip if anyone cares http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4743/tted.png |

Pixel art allowed? |
| Posted by: seldeslim Mar 1 2009, 04:36 PM | ||
I love this so much. If you can animate it I'll love you even more. |
| Posted by: Fuzzy Mar 1 2009, 04:46 PM | ||
The odds of Des posting. Looks badass bro. |
| Posted by: Fez Mar 1 2009, 04:52 PM | ||
I don't know. It seems like pixelarts always get all the votes. if it says sprite comp, it should be sprite sheets. |
| Posted by: Jazz Mar 1 2009, 04:54 PM | ||
hey I remember you your that dude from PT whos character had dog ears and wore a orangey hat and clothes |
| Posted by: Des Mar 1 2009, 05:19 PM | ||
would you like me to make him blinking and slight arm movements also sup to all |
| Posted by: Grant Mar 1 2009, 06:07 PM |
| Sprite Comp rules say that entries have to be sprites, and not the type of pixel art outside the classification of sprites. I'm pretty sure animations are also required. But if he animated some parts of it, then my best guess is that it would qualify. I'm not the authority, though. |
| Posted by: Demonlemon Mar 1 2009, 06:16 PM |
 wip |
| Posted by: Des Mar 1 2009, 06:52 PM | ||
my previous entries werent sprites though and id like to pointed as to what is sprites and what is pixel art if a sheet is something with one or more pose then here  also not trying to be a dick or anything i just really worked hard on this and don't wanna see it just thrown out because i didn't follow rules outside of the ones in the first post (which i did follow) |
| Posted by: The IT Mar 1 2009, 06:57 PM |
| Aw, if I won the last compo I would've have a better idea for this one. But i'll jion this one baby! |
| Posted by: Glukom Mar 1 2009, 08:09 PM | ||
holy shit it's des Nice entry, but the lines could be less... MSPaint pencil toolish. |
| Posted by: Grant Mar 2 2009, 12:17 AM | ||
Your entries in past competitions were allowed because the current rules weren't in place then - in fact, there weren't really any defined general rules back then, although there were for Drawing Comps. Stuff changed while you were gone, and people eventually decided that Sprite Comps were supposed to contain sprites. Here are the rules, straight from the Vault: http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?showtopic=189442 Also don't pay attention to that very recent competition that was strictly ABOUT non-sprite pixel art; that comp subject was in flagrant violation of the rules and should not have been chosen at all (but it was basically too late to change it when that point was brought up). It should not be considered precedent. EDIT: But this might all be a moot point, since there's a good chance your current entry (quoted above in this post) does qualify now that it has an animation in it. |
| Posted by: Des Mar 2 2009, 12:22 AM | ||
ah ok |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Mar 2 2009, 09:44 AM | ||
So far I used 6 colors for Ted and the launcher. |
| Posted by: Littlink Mar 2 2009, 06:11 PM |
  There's just something about the GB style. 8) |

| oop sorry |
| Posted by: jdaster64 Mar 2 2009, 08:12 PM |
| Pickle and NICKtendo's are brilliant. and Pickleboy, it seems M&L styled enough to me... |
| Posted by: seldeslim Mar 2 2009, 11:55 PM | ||
that's really nice |
| Posted by: Thingy Mar 3 2009, 03:51 PM |
Mine's in a fictional LCD style and quite small, in fact, I had to add mario and stuff to get it to look submitable.  Red outlines are examples of things put together. I don't really like it... |
| Posted by: Littlink Mar 3 2009, 05:11 PM |
| @ Gato, Des haha, thanks guys 8) |

Add some AA, that'll clear it up. |
| Posted by: El Huesudo II Mar 4 2009, 06:38 PM |
  Fuck yeah, my entry. Eight colors if transparency is counted. May do modifications if I have the time, I'm also trying to complete the PixelJoint challenge. |
| Posted by: Private Investigator Drei Mar 4 2009, 07:20 PM |
| What is with all of the graffiti styled skulls? Entry so far, may not work on it as time constraints.  |
| Posted by: Des Mar 4 2009, 09:23 PM |
i decided to make my animation a little less lazeh  empahasis on little so ignore the little graphical errors bleh also my animators makin go slower than its supposed to be and i cant make it go faster :\ |
| Posted by: Funky Mar 5 2009, 12:04 PM | ||

| Posted by: Ndsfreak Mar 5 2009, 08:00 PM |
| I want to redo my entry, but I'm not motivated. sombody motivate me please |
| Posted by: Des Mar 5 2009, 08:04 PM | ||
finally somethign that isnt an over / underdetailed version ofthe original sprite (o_o)b |
| Posted by: Razz Mar 5 2009, 08:18 PM | ||
That rule is really fucking stupid. He put a lot of work into it, it's made with pixels, and it looks great. He should be allowed to enter. |
| Posted by: Fez Mar 5 2009, 08:59 PM |
| sigh... I have a serious lack of motivation for this one. I'm dropping. |
| Posted by: kremling Mar 5 2009, 10:28 PM |
| Kinda wip |
| Posted by: Grant Mar 5 2009, 10:41 PM | ||
 The rule makes perfect sense. Sprite Competitions are for sprites. This debate has been done before countless times, and never has there been an actually good argument for acceptance of non-sprites in these comps... because there can be no good argument for it.And good job not noticing that he added a much more detailed animation anyway, so his entry is undoubtedly legitimate. So this discussion has become quite unnecessary. |
| Posted by: Razz Mar 5 2009, 11:38 PM | ||
Yeah, noticed that right after I posted. Why do you get so defensive over this, it's not like it really matters. |
| Posted by: Grant Mar 6 2009, 01:01 AM | ||
I'm sick and fucking tired of this debate coming up time after time, after it should have been put to rest LONG ago. I and various other people have spent effort in the past explaining why Sprite Comps should be about sprites, and each time someone complains about it again as if no one had said jack shit previously, it feels like everything went to waste. It goes against common sense to complain about sticking to the obvious purpose of Sprite Comps, and conflict is created for no good reason. That's reason enough there to be annoyed with such complaints. |
| Posted by: Jlhgomez Mar 6 2009, 04:05 AM |
 It's better. I still don't like the collide with wall animation but |
| Posted by: Glukom Mar 6 2009, 05:08 PM | ||
As long as people new to these comps keep coming along, this debate will be brought up. The fact is, these are unimportant sprite compotitions on an internet forum. We don't need to be incredibly strict with the rules. If it's made with pixels and isn't ten feet tall, it should fine. |
| Posted by: Grant Mar 6 2009, 10:51 PM |
| Well, I do admit I overreacted. I still don't think people should try to fight for the "right" to bend the basic rules or concepts of competitions, but I'll be calmer about this sort of thing in future. |
| Posted by: InsertNameHere Mar 6 2009, 11:45 PM |
Looks like I'm entering something again. (before anyone asks, there's a left and right version because the shading is different on both.) |
| Posted by: El Huesudo II Mar 7 2009, 10:24 AM |
Update on my entry, the past one's shading was horrible. |
| Posted by: NICKtendo DS Mar 7 2009, 06:11 PM | ||
Somehow, this reminds me of Clay Fighter. This one doesn't look so stiff. Great job. |
| Posted by: Funky Mar 7 2009, 07:35 PM | ||
Great job, my favourite so far Now make a sheet of this |
| Posted by: Redux Mar 7 2009, 08:48 PM | ||
I agree with this part, but I don't think animation on pixel art makes it a sprite. |
| Posted by: Des Mar 7 2009, 11:07 PM |
are you telling me that this is less a sprite than this  |
| Posted by: Redux Mar 8 2009, 12:26 AM |
| It's used in a way that makes it game-worthy. I'd call it a sprite. A front on bullet bill, no matter how animated, is more like a pixel art because I can't see it being applied to a game in anything more than a cut scene. Just my opinion. |
| Posted by: Grant Mar 8 2009, 01:05 AM | ||
Could possibly, in theory, be worked into a title screen. Idk, it may be somewhat borderline in concept, but I'd advise people to accept it as within the bounds of the rules. Desgardes was away from the boards for a while and wasn't familiar with the newer rules, plus the entry is very good and does have an animation. |
| Posted by: Thingy Mar 8 2009, 05:40 AM |
| Make it a sheet and it'll be acceptable, easy option. |
| Posted by: Funky Mar 8 2009, 08:00 AM |
| Guys guys! His pixelart is awesome and stuff, and that Metal Slug boss looks like pixelart, but the difference is that the Metal Slug boss can get used in a game. The bullet bill is pixelart and can only get used for title screens. Look at the competition rules. Discussion over. Any further discussion is unneccessary, you crying babies. |
| Posted by: Des Mar 8 2009, 08:36 AM |
 |
| Posted by: Funky Mar 8 2009, 11:37 AM | ||
Heck, old rpg's use mostly just one sprite that could be considered as pixelart. Still, his torpedo would be too large to be useful. Stop trying, it's the rules |
| Posted by: Fender Mar 8 2009, 12:57 PM |
| meh, will probably update if i have the time  |
| Posted by: Grant Mar 8 2009, 02:00 PM | ||
No. You're not the arbiter here. Stop pretending you are. If anyone, Gato will be the one to decide, since he started the competition. |
| Posted by: SolarSexy Mar 8 2009, 02:00 PM |
| Aren't you all just angry that his entry was pixel art to begin with, then you tell him to add animation to make it sprite worthy, which he does do, then you still try to penalize him. Stop changing your definition of sprite because your mad that his entry blows a lot of peoples out of the water. There are games that use front facing enemies, Pokemon is one, The Mother series does the same as well. They are still considered sprites, so don't go saying his can't be used in any way. You're the ones who are being stubborn. |
| Posted by: Paris Mar 8 2009, 02:33 PM | ||
You have a really good box, just not a torpedo ted. |
| Posted by: Grant Mar 8 2009, 03:40 PM | ||
If this was directed toward me partially, then read the thread more carefully, because I'm saying I think it should be allowed now, although I was the main person saying he should animate it originally. |
| Posted by: seldeslim Mar 8 2009, 03:45 PM | ||
aaww damn ok I'll make the decision Des, your entry looks like it'd be good for an avatar, or on the of title screen of a minigame. It's pixelart, but might as well make it an elligible piece because you actually took my word and made an effort to animate it. Next time try to make sprites, because I doubt anybody else will qualify your entry as elligible (hypothetically speaking). Now everybody just stop arguing about this. |
| Posted by: Jazz Mar 8 2009, 04:56 PM |
 a last ditch effort a torpedo ted blaster would attempt to shoot you with a gun. |
| Posted by: Fender Mar 8 2009, 05:43 PM |
alright i think i solved my problem i can have him drop down facing the front then turn and shoot to the right/left. |
| Posted by: Jazz Mar 8 2009, 05:50 PM | ||
problem: his front pose is larger than his left/right pose legnth |
| Posted by: Des Mar 8 2009, 05:59 PM | ||
Trust me, if I knew I'd cause this much commotion, i would've just made a sprite, which I am more than capable of doing. |
| Posted by: InsertNameHere Mar 8 2009, 06:13 PM |
Update |
| Posted by: Redux Mar 8 2009, 07:46 PM |
| I think people just like to find loopholes in the rules. When people say "make a mario game sprite" they mean side on, small and animated. For a Mario game. If they were to specify "make a pokemon battle pose sprite" they'd know it had to be front on or something. |
| Posted by: Fender Mar 8 2009, 08:37 PM | ||
yeah i know, i haven't made the left right pose yet, thats the old one. but thanks =] |
| Posted by: Des Mar 8 2009, 11:39 PM | ||
well arent you the creativity police what about mario rpg seven stars what about MLSS what about thinking out thinking out of the goddamn box your sig names you well; very boring EDIT: heres my new entry dont worry it follows all the rules!  |
