Sprite Competition's over, Move to Archives

GO TO PAGE 12 TO SEE ALL ENTRYS! VOTING IS OVER!

Congrats to Shyguy Grey who made the second place and the others who got into the top 5.

Yeah, it has been a long time since we had a tileset.
This competition's theme is
SMB3 tilesets

At first I'll define the theme. By Super Mario Brothers 3 tilesets I mean tilesets with SMB3-typical elements as seen in the following pictures:

Got it? No? I mean the wooden blocks/floors, the checkered floor/hills on the title screen, the funny corals in the underwater levels, the weird-structured caves...

This sums it up.

RULES:
16x16 for each tile
NO color limit
NEW: Doomships are allowed if there are enough other tiles. Idea by thingy.
NO enemies, powerups or map tiles, p-switches/coins/note blocks are allowed.
And again, NO EDITS! You are definitely allowed to use palettes from SMB3 (8-16 bit) or other games.

This will end in 2 weeks, 17th November. I MAY EXPAND THIS IF REQUIRED!

Good luck folks!

So wait... Why exactly is there no doom ships? They were a big part of the game.

Awesome, I am sure that I will be entering this.

They have been the theme for previous competitions. I want something new.

so doors arent really tilesets?

edit: and why two weeks?

a compo usually ends in a week

He probably thinks that tilesets take more effort to do.

Actually, tilesets are easier to do than normal things, IMO.

The comp should start voting on Nov 12.

starting on it right away...doing grassland

I think I'm losing it with you guys, its been weeks since a decent 'sprite this character' competition, I want to create creatures and be creative, not recreate smb3 levels that will most likely look identical to the other twenty entries that people will blatantly enter. Its getting ridiculous, really. Nothing in the past bunch of competitions has really wowed me, not because of the people that entered, but because of the theme of the competition itself.

You can give me as much 'If you don't like it, don't enter' bull**** as you like, but who is HONESTLY enjoying the same thing every week?

You just read my mind.

Actually, I agree. When we discussed Sprite Compos in a GC topic during last week's compo, Toodles brought up a really good point (Paraphrasing; not actual quote): "Just because something's never been done before, it doesn't mean it's a good idea. Even if they've been done before, the main character Compos usually go over well."

I'm in...

Also can someone do the badges from the last comp?

And the one from before that one.

Also, Iceland, or whatever you call it -

they don't have to be in the older retro-ish style do they?
EDIT: nvm they don't.

Yep, I totally agree.. I miss spriting characters too...
I might whip sumthing up...

OmegaK take my babies

I like the idea. If you want a good competition... win.

Isn't the point to recreate a familiar setting in a new way? It's not like you have to do a saturated or hue-shifted tileset every time. Mix it up and try to think of the landscape in a new light.


And here:


My entry may change later, since even this is a little generic.

Couldn't agree more.

That sums it all up, but i guess i'll still enter this one. Also, why no items, powerups or noteblocks, since they take a major role in SMB3.

But I already have twelve of yours.
