Sprite Comp #117, Sports *NEW RULE BECAUSE I CAN*

ALERT!
No blatant hack-job edits. This is for CUSTOM SPRITES.

I have no idea if this had been done before, blah blah blah couldn't think of anything else

Firstly, congratulations to the runner ups (I think there were a few) and all the others who participated in the last compo, good job!

SPORTS!
You've seen Mario swing bats, clubs and his fists in various forms of recreational activity. Now it's your turn to sprite Mario (or any other Mario character you wish) performing some type of sport!

Is Luigi biking? Is the Princess partaking in a game of Cricket? You decide! Take a new sport or an old sport and sprite away!

REWLS!
No mockups, screenies unless they are accompanied by the actual sheet. You can have an GIF as long as it's accompanied by the actual sheet.

You guys have until the 25th to submit your entries!

And I'm entering.

That's good enough of an idea. I will see what I can do about this.

Wait! Why was the Sprite Comp 116# Final Voting topic locked?

and who locked it?


Aside from that note: nice idea, but I won't be entering (as usual) due to lack of skill and motivation.

I'm totally not entering now. Seriously, disallowing pixelart in a sprite competition is like disallowing a comic in a drawing competition. There is absolutely no reason to do so, since sprites are indeed pixelated art.

Please continue the topic with relevant posts, instead of making a dispute between my particular post.

What are you talking about, sir? The last competition was 116, not 117. And the final voting hit its deadline.

A mod, I assume.

NO PIXALART? Are you serious? I'm not entering this one.

Pixelart =/= Sprites
=/=

The difference is different than you define. Sprite Competitions are about the spriting aspect of games which is what Mario FAN GAMES Galaxy is centered around. To make games, you need sprites, not pixel art (static image). So I define this competition as spriting for games.

Also, pixel art cannot be submitted but sprites can, showing again that there is a difference.

lol

Epic Fail.

Pixelart is a term used to describe pixelated artwork in general. If you check out DevArt(which is a reliable source for solving this dispute), you'll see that sprites, backrounds, tilesets, and other objects do not have their own category, but a subcategory of pixelart.

If you honestly think that you can prove me wrong, you obviously lack common sense.

entering because No pixelart or mockup rule.

Please get your flame bait out of the topic.

This could actually function as a sprite. Poor example. D:

Why would I want somebody to flame me?

Why ask me? Foolish comments like that are the way to do it though.

Better example of Pixelart(?)

You can make a mockup, you can't just enter the mockup itself, you gotta have a sheet or something. D:

That could function as a sprite as well, actually.

Actually, I just went areadin' back in the archives.


And I'm already tired of this ****: removing that rule.

This stupid...I mean no pixelart..... Hurry and finish this compo so that a better one can start.

NVRM might enter.

Pixel art is not allowed, at least by default, in Sprite Comps unless it's merely the particular type of pixel art that the comps are about - sprites. At least I think that's the consensus that was arrived at a while back.


Also, I like the rule about no mockups unless a sheet is included. Mockups sometimes tend to stray from the purpose of a Sprite Comp if they're not the focus of the comp itself - some mockups are not really like sprites at all, and are more like large pixel art. (One example of this is an entry I saw in the last comp, which I actually liked quite a lot, but didn't vote for in the Top 5 because it was a title screen mockup and not really a sprite entry.)
