This is what the gameboy advance uses.

I figured the first Mockup frenzy would have very few restrictions, and gradually use fewer colours in later editions. I didn't want to exclude anyone who'd want to use more colours, which is why I chose the GBA, it's very forgiving.

Edit: on wikipedia it also says: capable of displaying 512 simultaneous colors in "character mode" and 32,768 (215) simultaneous colors in "bitmap mode"
But I'm not familiar with creating graphics for the GBA, if anyone would like to share their knowledge it'd be great 

This is going to be great! Starting right now.

Oh, and it's not that big of a deal but the GBA was limited to 16bit colors.

I use 8bits when I paint casually in photoshop. If people use 32bits they're extremely disqualified 

Mockup Frenzy sounds awesome. Let's do it. 

Agreed.
Someone go and set up a topic for this that will be up for discussion, there seems to be enough people willing to do this and this sounds particularly fun to me.

Done

Hello everyone, time to have some fun!

Wait, you dont know what Mockup frenzy is?? I bring quotes with information to answer that very question!

So, every two weeks, we'll put up a new set of guidelines for mockups, including but not limited to:

1 - Size
2 - Palette/Color Limits/Platform
3 - Subject Matter/Play Style

After 2 weeks, all the submissions will be gathered into the first post of the thread for easy viewing, and a new set of guidelines will be posted in a new thread.  There is no voting, no winners, no competition except how great a job can YOU do.  Members will be welcome to submit entries after the 2 week deadline, but there could be massive delays in when those entries are rolled back into the first post collection of submissions.

Finally, please only submit NEW works to the Mockup Frenzy.  New works means ideas you started pixeling after the start date.  I think that's about it!  If we think of any more "rules" we'll be sure to add them.  Otherwise, have fun pixeling!

In this thread we can post theme suggestions.

Oh, and also:

Platform: GBA ( = hardly no limitations )
Subject matter: Tiger themed.
Deadline: Friday the 24th of July

I will of course update the pictures in the first post if you post newer versions/entries in the thread.

Fucking seriously? 

HOLY SHIT, HOW ORIGINAL!

Suggestions for names on a forum seems hardly ideal.

Go with your heart!

"Your heart" is a horrible name!

This is totally almost done
(first tile-based mockup... EVER!)

It's those goddamn interwebs and the words on the screen from the keyboards!
(Am I the only one who laughed out loud when I saw the Edmund McMillen video?)

oh haha. In the image in the screenshot from the first post in this thread, it's his back arm and his gun (held in his hand...it's more visible in the other subimages)

Aww, no nudist parachuter?

....

 

It's his right arm and his - censored - wing wong... I think... 

@Jrsquee: Was the displacement intentional? It bothers me...

yeah
hexagons don't fit correctly in a rectangle
i like asymmetry
with such a simple pattern it's good to have some bother there
if it's agitating, good
if it's just gross, then it's bad

I was referring to the fact that the edges between the black shapes (or rather: their borders) don't merge seamlessly, but is a bit skewed.

But I guess it really adds to the pattern that it is a little displaced, I doubt I would've looked twice at it if it hadn't been displaced.

Yeah, just pay the guy $5 to complete Ivory Springs.

:D

@Jrsquee: Was the displacement intentional? It bothers me...

"That'll show those nasty consumers!"

Hello everyone!

We didn't really finish it, because it'd take insane amounts of time to complete, but we added some (wonderful) background music by Martin Dunér and compiled a "final" version, to get some closure and show you guys how far we got. 

Remember, it's not really a game, just a draft of a sketch of a game
