Just to waste 5 minutes of your time :D

. Everyone loves games that are completed in a fraction of the time that it would ordinaraly take. Here is Mario 3 in 11 minutes :) I would say that the guy has too much time on his hands, but he doesn't if he only has 11 mins to play through it :p
http://albinoblacksheep.com/video/smb3.php

. A pretty cool idea. People could used to join up and have an appartment that they made for themselves. Would be an interesting thing to do here :)
http://www.mrwong.de/myhouse/

. The Elvish Name Generator. 'Nuff said. There is also a Hobbit one there as well.
My name in Elvish - Aranel Inglorion
Hobbit - Wilibald Chubb-Baggins of Pincup
http://www.chriswetherell.com/elf/

. Lastly. Everyone loves Engrish :D So here is The Two Towers as it should have been :D I actually had to stop reading this as I was laughing so hard and my dad is asleep.

You must've read my mind, because I was planning to do something like this for the Sumea Draw Club.. I was going to suggest people make some pixel art of a house to put in a Sumea town (I don't have the link, but there's a site that did this wonderfully). Thinking of it now, we should do something more original - it'll be extremely fun to do though!

Hehe. Sim Sumea :D I don't know why Souri, but you just struck me as the sought of guy who likes isometric pixel images :D

PIXEL ART TOWN... do it!

edit - Just watched that Mario 3 thing. That is so COOL.

The Quake2 speed challenge was better. Quad Rocket Jumping off walls to get through levels :D

Any ideas on the pixel art contribution? I'd prefer something more original than the extending building or town idea. While I do like the pixel building, the contributions were so many (and due to the sizes of each contribution), my browser didn't even finish loading all the images. So, in short, keep it small. [:)]

Maybe a Sumea pixel luxury ocean cruiser/titanic? So we see the start of the cruiser on the left, and we scroll the page to the right and see all the contributions? And you all get to draw your own wacky quarters on the ship (with 2 levels)..

I'm a pixel artist from waaaay back. C64, then Amiga. Yes, I am 0lD S|<00L. [8].. I'd do dithering, anti-aliasing, everything dot-by-dot, as everyone else did, back then.

I would still ike the city/town idea. Maybe you could make it so that the long time users and mods get more real estate, where as the newer people only get single blocks of land.

Other ideas though. A space station perhaps? Coming up with original ideas for where people can live isn't the easiest thing to do :(

Pixel art is still fun as all hell. I loved it when I finally got Sim City 2k with the building editor. That was heaps of fun :D I think that it is a requirement that ONLY 2D packages can be used. No 3D renders. That should be fairly obvious though :) Would it be okay if the images were anti-aliased (like SC2k), or would they have to be more crisp and aliased like that tower?

I don't know why, but this is just a really cool idea.

Submitted by MoonUnit on Sat, 17/01/04 - 5:21 AM Permalink

i like the idea of the luxury boat thing, with different sections to one very long and massive liner.
im terrible at pixel art though but i suppose i could allways use the cheaters method, woo hoo for photoshop filters :P

Submitted by smeg on Sat, 17/01/04 - 10:44 AM Permalink

We still work pixel by pixel (GBA).

That HAS to be a requirement - none of this pansy render -> resize crap. EVERYONE MUST PUSH PIXELS! :D

cheers

Ok, I'll get the beginnings of a pixel luxury cruiser done.. damn you people for making me "do stuff". [:)]

This guy does *unbelievable* murals on the ground with chalk/pastels.. I mean, [url="http://www.dodger.com/wenner/images/pic-infern.jpg"]check out this picture[/url] !!!! There used to be great footpath mural artists in Sydney about 10 years ago, but they've all disappeared.
