BadMrBox · Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 3:07 pm Post subject: A sprite contest?

To me, it seems like not much is going around at this folder so what about a sprite contest? Everybody grabs a copy of pp256 and the palette known be used by both me and DD (Frankly I think that most people that are using pp256 are using that palette), and then we makes a enemysprite each. Then even someone could code a rpgdx battle engine and use thoose sprites. Well, what you think?

I think it'd be cool, however, i fear that this particular forum is too dormant for many people to get invovled. A bit like the music forum. Although, granted, the last music challenge was still fun despite only four people submitting material.

I'm all for it. ;) I'm well practiced, and I can draw them quickly.

Ah I'd like to take part in this, though I think I'd need at least a week to be able to find enough time to do a sprite somewhere. I never heard about pp256 though and searching on Google didn't get me to some website about it. Can I just use my trusty GIMP? I could still keep myself to using a certain palette if required I guess, where would I find this?

I used to use pp256 aaaaages ago when i first learnt what a pixel was.. heh heh.
I don't have it anymore and cannot find it either. I searched pp256, and pixelplus 256.

Sounds great, but do we need the pp256 restriction? Ah whatever. Where can you get it?

I'm in for this one. I make graphics much faster than I can make music :)

what about just having a palette and size restriction? if someone could provide the palette or an image that contains the palette, then we could all use that with our favorite pixel editor of choice. (I personally would be using promotion, which I happen to like)

Gooseman: Whats psp?
Bjorn: Whats Gimp?
Box: What are you doing under that rock?

Gooseman, I think 16x16 is a bit small. I thought we should aim for something more like the late FF 2d style of enemies.

Since 16x16 is small, then lets use something like 32x32 or 16x16 ;-) Those are kinda like the BASIC sizes for sprites in most BASIC rpgs...

Lets also only use a 256 color palette. You can download it for psp from: http://ccps.rpgdx.net/files/screen13.pal

also...are there any rules decided upon yet... if any what are they?

When are we gona "Officially" start the drawing thingy ??
