I'll be releasing the graphics in the next hour or so. Don't expect them to make any sense.

I can either start on this or finish school early this year. I think I'll start on this.

[Nix]

I'm in kind of a strange mood. I hope these aren't too eccentric: link

Have fun!

24 hours starts NOW for me.

Can we pre-rotate the graphics? No big deal if I have to do that at runtime I guess, just curious.

EDIT: Also, say one of the images is of an arm... could we cut that arm into two pieces so it could be bent at runtime?

Yup. You can cut them out, rotate them, scale them, whatever you want before hand in a graphics editor. Just don't draw anything new.

You have my sword!

If I can still join, that is.

[Dacke]

And my beard!



but yeah.. the compo just started so of course you can join

[Geeze]

Oh gosh, I had no idea how creative you can be when using these sprites "creatively"
Example; that nose on the right.
Cut a small portion
Rotate 90° clockwise
recolor it blue (runtime ofcourse)
And voila, you have a killersharkfin

OR one could use those legs as jaws for some monster (my little sister thought immediately about a crocodile when she saw that sprite :D)

I'll start actual devprocess tomorrow (im in GMT+2) but for now I'm going to stare at these sprites so I can do some brainstorming while sleeping

[thatshelby]

Stepping out for a while.


1 down, 23 to go.

Ideas: None.

My face exactly.

So... what are the rules on shapes/primitives? Nay? Must I mutate those sprites to make a background image, for example?

[Nix]

This will be more fun. I think that if you're creative, you can make pretty much any primitive from the sprites. If you really feel the need to make your own primitive shapes though, keep it to non-interactive stuff (like backgrounds), solid colors, and make sure they are actually primitives (circles, sqaures, etc. not "primitive" people or anything like that)

Edit: Actually, I need to not be such a push-over. Keep it to the provided images. There's a bar of soap there if you want a rectangle, and Buttercup's head would make a nice circle. Try to be creative with it.

Is it OK if I use some pre-made drum loops for the music?

Sure
