Posted by: Wolfgator Jul 18 2009, 11:12 PM
Congrats to Shyguy Grey who came in second, and the other participants. Now, shall we move on to the next challenge? This time, it will be a competition based on your imagination, there are no limits!

I'll explain further.

This is going to be a competition of making your very own video game, and that means a video game mockup. There is no restrictions besides the standards, just make sure to make it with your best effort!

Restrictions:
- The mockup must be Mario or another character in the Mario universe.
- Animations are not required, being a mockup. You can add them!
- Try to be original, but stick to the game principles. Maybe include a hud!
- There is no colour or size restrictions, but be reasonable. Don't go using 12 shades a colour.

Entries are due on July 26th. Good luck and get going!

Posted by: Glukom Jul 18 2009, 11:14 PM
This is a good comp idea and I hope people enter because the entries could be really cool.

Posted by: seldeslim Jul 18 2009, 11:15 PM
gah i'm not good at mockups :[

I'll try to make something acceptable by the due date

also is thre a size minimum on this? It'd be helpful to know.

Posted by: Wolfgator Jul 18 2009, 11:16 PM
4th rule, no restrictions on colour or size, but be reasonable.

Also, can somebody pin this.

Posted by: Jazz Jul 18 2009, 11:17 PM
bah I hate mockup compos
this is like the 100th one by now

Posted by: Black Boo Jul 18 2009, 11:23 PM

No. This is a sprite competition that's made to test ones abilities as a spriter, not your skills and copying and pasting.

Can we have our badges from last comp
Edit: Nvm, we already did, wasnt bothered to look. <_<

When you say you used mario and luigi graphics...

Did you make all the sprites in your entry? Because I think I've seen some of them before...

Posted by: Omnomlicous Jul 20 2009, 02:31 PM
Please don't shoot me for saying this but what's a mockup?

Yes, its' an example.


It can't be your entry, but that's pretty much a mockup.


It's basically: If you were playing a game with these sprites and took a screen shot, what would it looks like?

But the corner tiles edges are a little sharp "In my opinion".

Does it have to be Mario themed, or can it be anything? I have something good in mind.

Mario themed.

Or Wario, or Yoshi, or anything from the mario universe.

Posted by: ProtoTroid Gamma Jul 22 2009, 05:52 PM
Okay. I guess I'm out then. Too much mario stuff already. For me I mean.

Sorry for calling you out in this topic, I'm not trying to be a fun-spoiling cockbag about it. But yeah, it wouldn't be fair to the contestants if you just edited your entry. So no hard feelings, just change your sheet a little. :P

well what did you expect?
we've already done several mockups before.
and not catering on a specific theme just doesnt exactly give people the ethusiasm to work on a entry.

Don't worry. Just for this competition and how I chose my theme to be desert.



Besides, I've been listening to live music all weekend, so I haven't had a huge motivation to sprite, especially because I'm out of the house all day.






Fuzzy, thanks for the tip. I'f I get rained out today (from the music) I might actually finish my entry.

I voted for the ones that seemed to have the most action going on and how well pixeled the majority of it is. Remember guys, this is a mockupcompetition, meaning your screenshots should look believeable with some actual action going on.
So for the other two I was going to vote for, you probally know who you are, yours were well pixeled they just were too boring.
