" It's a mix of beat em up/rpg set in a huge SCIFI city, in which LIMB CORP will saddle citizens with unpayable bills for their new bionic limbs and prosthetics, and then come back and take back the prosthetics, leaving said person immobile. The main character Gwen(sounds familiar hmm) is fighting back against the dirty tactics of Limb Corp with her self made bionic arm and prosthetic legs, not only wanting to end the oppression, but also to not become immobile herself. As the second screenshot shows, you can race, and play other little games to pass the time when not on a mission, and there are also chase scenes and all that jazz. Boss fights consist of Limb Corps highest ranked assassins, and enemies consist of thugs, the desperate, and henchmen of Limb Corps."

"Alright, so my game is Hot Shots Poker Slots, It's a puzzle game exclusively developed for
the Game Gors. The idea is that you have five reels, like in a slot machine, with various Playing card values on them (Spades, Hearts, Queen, Aces and the like) and you slide the reels (the columns) to produce various poker hands in the middle row (such as 2 pair, 3 of a kind, full house, etc.) to score points."

(If you want to improve your past entry, feel free to do so: they were really good!)

But you know, we can't rely with ports alone. Now I'll ask you to come up with an ORIGINAL GAME! Isn't that great? BUT THIS TIME, YOU NEED TO MAKE AT LEAST 2 MOCKUPS OF THE SAME IDEA TO QUALIFY. The more you detail your idea, the better are your chances to win!

If you don't remember the specs, here they are again:

-screen is 160x144;
-can produce 4 colors: black, gray, light gray and white;
-graphic is stored as 8x8 tiles in games;
-every 8x8 tile can only have 3 colors + transparency!

Rules

1-make a mockup of an ORIGINAL game. Two images (or more) per entry!
2-respect the specs listed above.
3-You may also give a brief description of your game. It's optional, but will surely help your idea stand out even more Smile

[Image: 8bb1402efdc3c4c38678ec226a835acb.png]

as you can see, it is clearly not based in any existing portable console, and the design is really original. The spec is as follows:

-screen is 160x144;
-can produce 4 colors: black, gray, light gray and white;
-graphic is stored as 8x8 tiles in games;
-every 8x8 tile can only have 3 colors + transparency!

Really impressive, huh? I am planning to compete against this gen's video game consoles, and with this spec I intend to bring everyone high-quality graphics and affordable price.

BUT GAME CONSOLES ARENT ANYTHING WITHOUT FAMOUS GAMES!

so I want you to produce some for the game boy gors! Produce a mockup of how modern-day games would look in it!

rules:

1-make a demake mockup of an existing game.
2-respect the specs listed above.
3-make the most with the limitations imposed to you, and good luck!]]> <![CDATA[VOTING TIME - colors [deadline: 01/16]]]> https://archive.vg-resource.com/thread-24444.html Thu, 16 Jan 2014 00:52:08 +0000 Gors]]> https://archive.vg-resource.com/thread-24444.html

The catch is, do you see this ball here?

[Image: h4RVENE.png]

I think you do, huh! So I have a challenge for your ball-manipulating abilities: paint it! Easy, isn't it?

But this isn't thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat easy either: I want you to be creative with this ball. Shade it, draw on it, make a colorful pattern. The prettier you make it, the better! Take the 60x60 space as a challenge, and surprise me.

RULES

1-You may make many balls as you want.
2-You CAN draw outside the ball, but the pink will be alpha transparency. DONT OVERDO IT THOUGH: your focus is the ball, capiche?
3-You may alter the ball's outline, but it must remain roughly a ball. No squares or triangles or icosahedrons, those are inferior to the perfect shape that is the ball.
4-You may use as many colors as you want: there are no palette limitations.
5-Even balls have deadlines too. Participation is free until November 30th.
6-Remember, the forum rules still apply here. So no NSFW things!!
7-If you spend little to no effort in your ball, the angry Ball God will destroy you. But no, seriously: I will delete any piss-poor entries. If it persists I will be considering warning the poster, so please be creative this time. THAT'S ALL

Do you have the balls to participate in this challenge????]]>

I know the last compo's deadline had been extended and whatnot, but since there's been absolutely no response I don't think there'll be any more submissions (besides we still have this thread), so I thought I'd go ahead and make the next one; mostly to put up this poll here, too.

tSRCompo 17: Pac-Man Reimagined

As the title suggests, the task is to reimagine Pac-Man. Away from the circular pill-eater and bed sheet ghosts. What I want to see is a complete overhaul!
Pac-Man as a muscular guy swallowing energy drinks, Pac-Man as a fat burger-eater, the ghosts as ferocious monsters with fangs and claws, a stone-age setting, RPG or Jump'n'Run sprites - anything goes that isn't Pac-Man while it still is Pac-Man!

Can't you feel the love in here man? Far out, man.

For this compo, you have to make a psychedelic, groovy, trippy version of someone else's ref.
That is, you have to make your own interpretation of the ref, with retro 60's/70's influences.

There is no need to "claim" refs, any ref can be used as many times as necessary.
It would be great if a wide variety of refs showed up though Smile

There are no size or palette restrictions for this compo, but the entry must have both a sprite of

If you are confused as to what a "ref" is, It stands for "reference character."
Check either the current or old Love Threads for ref ideas.

Not much activity this time, but it's been dragging on a bit and I doubt there will be more anytime soon (If you still want to make something, take a look at this fine topic).

So you're fed up with all these bad Fakemon and Pokémon splices? Tired of seeing Pikasaur and Wartwo? Sick of Plaid Pink and Dotted Orange?
The thirteenth volume of the tSC Compo Series challanges you to make your own custom Pokémon battle sprites!

Here are the rules:

• Front and back pose, each 64x64px maximum
• 16 colours maximum (one palette for both sprites)
• The front sprite may have a battle intro animation of 3 frames at most
• If you're out of creative ideas, official Pokémon are fine, but your own creations are preferred. However, splices and edits will be shot on sight.
• If you're super fancy, you may set up a battle mock-up with health bars, text boxes and all that sweet eye-candy. These may have their own palettes, but should not be accounted for judgement.
• I think everything else is self-explanatory.

Yes. You could even make custom sprites of existing Pokémon since the main purpose of these competitions is to get people to sprite ;-)

(01-26-2013, 04:18 PM)Baegal Wrote: Does this have to be in a pokemon style?

No! You can, but there's no need to. The perspective should work with the Pokémon battle screen layout, but aside from that, you're free to choose whatever style you want.
