sprite duel (revamping NES)
#16
If we take away the blockiness, then there is no point in calling it an NES revamp :/
May 10th sounds like a good due date.

otherwise i may join

If you're so worried about it, just make two versions.
One with the blockiness, and another without.
They'll be the same sprite except one will have parts cut off.

It's still an HD sprite either way.

I have perhaps the best idea ever~

Now I need talent to go with it.

Just wondering, but the three extra colors we add; they don't have to be from the NES palette, do they?

Oh yeah, and when you say reshade, you mean just reshade? I can't really change the design of the original sprite or anything like that?

The three extra colors are your own colors, they don't have to be from the NES palette.

You can change the design, as long as you keep the blocky shape


On another note, don't try to be clever by doing a dual-layered sprites to get extra colors, the max amount of colors you can have is 6+transparency. e.g., if you do Mega Man, you can only add 1 color since he already has 5 colors between his face and body. Shy

so to make it clear:

pick X sprite from any NES game
resize it to 4X
redraw the sprite keeping the 'blocky' outline, using a maximun of 6 colors + transparency (the sprite's original colors are included in those 6)
example/base(i'd recomend all of you to use this exact format to set the sprites):

you have until May 10th to send the finished image in a pm to
X Gamer 66.

Protips: use a black background, put the original sprite, dont post wips on tsr, read this, avoid cliches(mario, megaman, etc. be creative), follow the god damn rules.

DAMMIT

time to pick a new sprite
why can't we post wips? since so many people want in, it's technically a compo now instead of a duel.

that would defeat the purpose of an anonimous poll.

yes, but there was nothing prior to your post discussing one so i didn't know why you were bringing it up

not posting wips seems kinda weird.

we're all gonna end up with the same sprite but vic's will be better

hahahaha
this is also why I like posting wips

besides, an anonymous poll is sort of pointless when the compo gets as big as this
whatever though

This is actually one of the reasons I like the idea of NOT posting wips tbh, because in my experience people can get discouraged by other peoples' entries and drop out.


Let's just give this a shot for now. if it doesn't work out, then we'll know not to do it in the future if we do more stuff like this !
