| Posted by: Joe Inky May 18 2009, 03:36 PM |
| Ok, congratulations to WiWa who got second, and all the other great entrants. I'm going to try to keep this competition simple, but open for alot of creativity. For this comp you're going to make a sprite pack and it must include at least: - An enemy sprite - A tileset that is at least useful (not just one green 16X16 tile to represent grass) There are no size limits, and no pallete limits, just don't go overboard. All the sprites have to match each other, they can be in any style you want them to be, but they cant clash. The enemy/ies must have animations. Keep in mind that what has been explained above is just the basics, you can add much more if you want to. If you don't get the theme it's basically spriting enemies & tilesets that match. Good luck! |
| Posted by: Jazz May 18 2009, 03:37 PM |
| so basically you want us to make a mockup without combining everything into one piece. pass. |
| Posted by: Buggo May 18 2009, 03:37 PM |
| Cool, I like this. |
| Posted by: OmegaK May 18 2009, 03:41 PM |
| I'll be entering, if you make the changes I suggested. touche |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey May 18 2009, 03:41 PM |
| Wait... whats the theme exactly? |
| Posted by: Joe Inky May 18 2009, 03:42 PM | ||
| i thought it was a good idea, but omegak told me it was too much so ive changed it so you dont have to do as much. :C
Basically to make a set of sprites that you could make a game out of, they all have to be in the same style and stuff idk, is it a bad idea? i can change it if no-one likes it? |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey May 18 2009, 03:44 PM |
| I'm still confused on the theme itself. So are we supposed to make a mockup, or just enough stuff to make a level in a game (items, tiles, enemies) |
| Posted by: Slash May 18 2009, 03:45 PM |
| I kinda dun get the theme, but I'm making some shy guys and a tileset that match them... |
| Posted by: Mr.Marth May 18 2009, 03:46 PM |
| Boring. |
| Posted by: OmegaK May 18 2009, 03:48 PM | ||
enough to make a level. |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey May 18 2009, 03:52 PM |
| I'll use this as a means to advance progress in the CFP. I'm thinking frozen forest for the ghost world, along with the ghost forest mini boss. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky May 18 2009, 03:57 PM |
| Jazz suggested this guy: http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/superprincesspeach/sheet/7283 Would this be alright with everyone? Or do you prefer this comp? idk i'm not bothered anymore, I'd just prefer to do my idea if it was me entering, dont really like obscure characters. but again, what do you guys think? |
| Posted by: Buggo May 18 2009, 03:58 PM |
| I like your idea |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey May 18 2009, 03:59 PM | ||
I personaly like your idea. You don't win everyday and you've earned the right to make it what you want. |
| Posted by: Slash May 18 2009, 04:02 PM | ||
What he said, stick to your idea! |
| Posted by: Fez May 18 2009, 04:06 PM |
| Stick to the old one. It'll be fun. |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey May 18 2009, 04:11 PM |
| I mean, with how many places Mario has been, that opens so many locations. Castles, space, ice worlds, in the past, inside bodies... There are hundreds of possibilities. Anyways yeah, I'll enter. |
| Posted by: OmegaK May 18 2009, 04:14 PM |
| I like the old one too. Jazz makes bad comics in black and white don't listen to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Posted by: NorskSengir May 18 2009, 04:41 PM |
| Already begun work on MooMoo Farm. CooCoo:  Next up is the cow. |
| Posted by: Peardian May 18 2009, 06:08 PM |
| Wow, congratulations Joe Inky! :D From the sound of the earlier posts, it sounds like the original theme idea was pretty good. It would be spriting a tileset and enemies that match it, would it not? |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey May 18 2009, 06:22 PM | ||
Actually, that was the original. Only difference is that the original had main characters as well. |
| Posted by: Peardian May 18 2009, 06:25 PM | ||
Yeah, that's what I said. :P I don't know about spriting the main character though. |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey May 18 2009, 06:29 PM | ||||
It sounded like you were referingh to an older idea that was skipped. I missunderstoof when you said "was". Anyways, thats not important. I do have a question though. Do we need an actual mockup or just the tileset. I mean, I'll probably do both anyways, but I just want to make sure I got everything clear before I begin. |
| Posted by: MONEYMAN May 18 2009, 07:47 PM |
| I'll join. |
| Posted by: Clutch May 18 2009, 07:47 PM |
| I wish people would quit complaining so much about the topics that the original poster feels the need to do something completely different and throw the others off guard. |
| Posted by: Project_MK May 18 2009, 08:00 PM |
WIP Hopefully I'll actually finish this one |
| Posted by: Redux May 18 2009, 08:11 PM |
| *sigh* I wish someone would make a competition that didn't need to be lawloriginal. What's wrong with focusing on one sprite instead of having to spread the load over an entire library? Look how well that Bouldergeist competition did. |
| Posted by: Shyguy Grey May 18 2009, 08:13 PM | ||
Because we just recently did a focused comp. They switch around from time to time. Instead of complaining, try to win and make your own comp the way you want it. |
| Posted by: Redux May 18 2009, 08:16 PM |
| I guess that's fair enough, I just want to see people competing for the best single sprite instead of people having to choose from things completely different and varied. If I get time I might try get something together. |
| Posted by: Fez May 18 2009, 08:49 PM |
 I have started... Also Joe, since it's a sprite package, can we put in backgrounds too? |
| Posted by: WiWa May 19 2009, 12:32 AM |
| hell yeah, i'm in! |
| Posted by: Funky May 19 2009, 12:09 PM |
| Go for the original one, I've entered. Yeah I'm in. |
| Posted by: Thingy May 19 2009, 02:44 PM |
| I'm entering this. I got a little style coming along. |
| Posted by: Yoshbert May 19 2009, 03:48 PM |
| I'll be entering this. |
| Posted by: Thingy May 20 2009, 02:42 AM |
   Look at my goomba sprites. |
| Posted by: Yak May 20 2009, 02:45 AM | ||
omg thingy, i was about to do the same thing. oh well, i'll think of somethinf else. |
| Posted by: Funky May 20 2009, 09:53 AM |
| I'll make something obscure... |
| Posted by: Thingy May 20 2009, 12:29 PM |
 Going for an SMB1 feel, but updated. EDIT: The goombas are a bit small, I might squish the tileset down to 8x8. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky May 20 2009, 12:58 PM |
| You can make backgrounds btw My entry sucks, I'm restarting. |
| Posted by: Demonlemon May 20 2009, 01:43 PM |
| well the goomba's nice... |
| Posted by: Buggo May 20 2009, 01:50 PM |
| You can enter your own comps? |
| Posted by: Funky May 20 2009, 01:57 PM | ||
Always. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky May 20 2009, 02:14 PM | ||
But if i won this one (which I won't), the person who came second would be the one who chooses the idea for the next comp. |
| Posted by: bEEtle May 21 2009, 12:55 AM |
| cool. Can we go kinda far out? Cuz I've been playing zombie games lately and I thiiiiink I may go that direction? or not? I dunno, but can we? |
| Posted by: Thingy May 21 2009, 02:09 AM | ||
If it's mario enemies, then yes. |
| Posted by: Buggo May 21 2009, 08:32 AM |
| something other then overworld, underwater! This is about my third time I have ever made any tiles, and these have the most detail. I might add more, if not, then this is my final.   |
| Posted by: Black Boo May 21 2009, 04:17 PM | ||
Mind if I do this too? I mean, advance the CFP, not your Frozen Forest idea. |
| Posted by: toadkarter May 21 2009, 06:55 PM |
 Tiles are no fun to make and I suck at them. |
| Posted by: MajinPiccolo May 23 2009, 04:40 PM |
| sweet entry teeks |
| Posted by: Project_MK May 23 2009, 05:25 PM |
So... When does this end? Just to be safe, I'm gonna post my entry.  |
| Posted by: Yoshbert May 23 2009, 06:32 PM |
 Alrighty then! |
| Posted by: Demonlemon May 23 2009, 06:34 PM |
| awesome sprites yoshbert |
| Posted by: bEEtle May 23 2009, 08:02 PM |
WIP, Any guesses? |
| Posted by: NorskSengir May 23 2009, 11:03 PM |
| Super Mario RPG, no? EDIT: I have to drop out, I cannot make tiles to save my life. |
| Posted by: Flamedragon May 24 2009, 04:51 PM |
  I might remake mines. |
| Posted by: Buggo May 24 2009, 06:36 PM |
| I like it so far. |
| Posted by: Fez May 24 2009, 06:53 PM |
| Buggo, how is your entry related to the mario world? Also, when does this end? |
| Posted by: Thingy May 25 2009, 02:09 PM | ||
SML, subpop. Also:  Not so good now  |
| Posted by: Joe Inky May 25 2009, 02:47 PM |
| lets say this ends on may the 29th |
| Posted by: Buggo May 25 2009, 05:47 PM | ||
? It's underwater. |
| Posted by: Fez May 25 2009, 05:50 PM | ||
I was talking about the enemies. What game are they from? |
| Posted by: Buggo May 25 2009, 06:41 PM | ||
SML2, SMW and SMB1 |
| Posted by: Fender May 25 2009, 06:53 PM | ||
i like it just say its little-big world =] |
| Posted by: Funky May 26 2009, 01:13 PM |
 HEAVY wip First I've started doing an ancient temple, I'll do some more for this soon. It comes with a in-style drybones. Then I've did a beach/water level set with water, there'll be a cheep cheep included. I may do a desert one too, may anyone suggest me a desert enemy? |
| Posted by: Buggo May 26 2009, 01:15 PM |
| Make the cobra from SMB2. Love the dry bones. |
| Posted by: Demonlemon May 27 2009, 04:49 PM |
| you could always do good old fashioned pokey |
| Posted by: Funky May 28 2009, 07:32 AM | ||
yeah, but it's too easy I think (body parts that just move) and I want to gain attention to get votes, so I'll go for cobrat but sure nice suggestion, thanks |
| Posted by: Thingy May 28 2009, 01:32 PM | ||
This is amazing. |
| Posted by: Funky May 28 2009, 02:22 PM | ||
Thank you. I've just learned how to dither from Fez. Thanks Fez. |
| Posted by: Fez May 28 2009, 02:50 PM | ||
no problem. Slightly ironic that I also just learned how not to dither... EDIT: I'll post what I have so far, in case I don't do any more. I'm trying a bunch of different styles out, trying to stray from dithereing, because it's good to have a repetoire of shading techniques.  |
| Posted by: Project_MK May 28 2009, 06:48 PM |
   Final entry. |
| Posted by: Yoshbert May 29 2009, 03:10 PM |
 Now with 50% more blocks! |
| Posted by: Project_MK May 29 2009, 11:48 PM | ||
? |
| Posted by: Fez May 30 2009, 12:14 PM | ||
there are... 9ish entries. top 5 time? |
| Posted by: Joe Inky May 30 2009, 02:48 PM |
| Yeah, could someone please do the top five for me, im slightly busy atm. |
| Posted by: Fez May 30 2009, 03:53 PM |

| hi, again. |
| Posted by: Peardian May 30 2009, 04:19 PM |
| Should it be extended? As it is, three of the entries don't meet the requirements. Funky and bEEtle only have tiles, and Norsksengir and Fez doesn't have any tiles (the single pipe could arguably be considered part of Egg-enut). Plus, Norsksengir dropped out. |
| Posted by: Fez May 30 2009, 04:24 PM | ||
no one else was entering. Besides, Joe said to do top 5. Should I remove the entries that don't count? |
| Posted by: Peardian May 30 2009, 04:27 PM |
| Yeah, I guess, though that would only leave six entries. You might as well skip the Top 5 with that many entries. |
| Posted by: Fez May 30 2009, 04:33 PM | ||
I think Funky's entry counts though. There are enemies. Mine, beetle's and Norsksengir don't though, so I'll remove them soon. |
| Posted by: Joe Inky May 30 2009, 04:58 PM |
| shall i extend the comp then? seen as funky's doesnt count because the enemies dont have animations, which would only leave 5? |
| Posted by: Fez May 30 2009, 05:05 PM |
| Maybe give it another 2-3 days, and if nothing else happens then go straight to final voting. I'll remove the top 5. Ah, screw it. I'm dropping from this one. |
| Posted by: Funky May 31 2009, 07:06 AM |
| Could you extend? To 32.? |
| Posted by: Joe Inky May 31 2009, 02:07 PM |
| ok it ends midnight on the 32nd |
| Posted by: Black Boo May 31 2009, 03:04 PM |
| Bleeeeeeh...too lazy to upload. I'm not sure if I like it or not. I really tried on the tiles, but I shizzed the goomba in there so it would be legit. |
| Posted by: bEEtle May 31 2009, 03:14 PM |
| "ok it ends midnight on the 32nd" ... the 32nd... right? well beware people by midnight tomorrow... Nimbus Castle will rise! complete with some enemies too... Bwa ha ha ha! |
| Posted by: Funky May 31 2009, 03:17 PM | ||
Ohhhh shit not sure if I enter |
| Posted by: bEEtle May 31 2009, 03:22 PM |
| Definatly do funk! I don't want to scare people off or anything... do something outside the box too. Not one is really going too out there. think of all the mario lands... custom enemies to be done. I'm inventing the "nimba" ...oh you'll see... |
| Posted by: TheWario10 May 31 2009, 06:04 PM |
This is probably a little late... but here's my entry: Spearhead:  Bucket Head: It's Wario land series enemies. Edit: Done with my entry.  I know the garlic and snowflake isn't that great. But to tell you the truth, I've been working on the background and foreground all day, so it didn't leave much time for sprites. Foreground:  Background: http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/TheWario10/Background.png And an example of how its used: http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/TheWario10/Example.png |
| Posted by: Fez Jun 1 2009, 10:16 PM |
| Guys, this end tonight, right? |
| Posted by: Project_MK Jun 1 2009, 10:54 PM | ||
if the 32nd means the first, then yes. |
| Posted by: Fez Jun 2 2009, 05:44 PM |
| Okay, does someone want to do top 5? |
| Posted by: Joe Inky Jun 3 2009, 03:47 AM |

| Fez's shouldn't count as the only tiles are a pipe. Pipes don't really cover a tileset. Anyway: Black Boo Yoshbert 1-ups Project_MK Toadkarter These are the only ones I really like, but I'll add TheWario10 to the list because it is good, I just don't like it. |
