Sumea Pixel Town!!!!

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

Ok, this is the new Draw Club activity, and it's a simple one. It shouldn't take you much time to do at all! It's the Sumea Pixel Town activity!!

http://www.sumea.com.au/sumeatown.asp
To participate, you first have to reserve your plot of land. Post in here which number you want. Some land is bigger than others, so if you don't intend to spend too much time on pixelling some art, choose the smaller ones. Once you reserve your land, take a snapshot of the webpage, chuck it in photoshop, and do your pixel-fu. When you're done, post a gif of only your area in this forum, and I'll grab it and add it to the page.
Everyone's welcome to participate (yes, even you coders!), and go nuts with ideas!! (it doesn't necessarily have to be of a house).

(btw, I'll be redesigning the logo/page a bit later.. just wanted to get the map up atm [:)])

that's neat, took long but very nice

So has everyone been evicted? Why aren?t the free plots being reserved like crazy?

I was wondering if it's okay to reserve yet another plot? I was hoping for plot 45 because it's neighbouring my existing plots. Either that or plot 38 would be good. Is that okay? I don't want to be greedy though, since I already have two plots, so I understand if you want to leave them for others.

If I can have plot 45 though, I'll try and make something by the weekend for it. Thanks [:)]

I'll take 31 please!

Oh, and can we 3D it, or is it pixel art as in by pixel :)

Submitted by Rosco on Fri, 25/06/04 - 10:04 PM Permalink

Wahooo....

Submitted by souri on Fri, 25/06/04 - 11:23 PM Permalink

Yep!.. For those who are after plots and want to see what's free, visit the page and claim a number with no name assigned to them. Make a post here and I'll put your name next to the number you choose.

I'll take 16 if it's still available [:D]

Um, mine overlaps someoone elses...would I need to change mine somehow so this doesn't happen? I don't want to get in the way of someone elses masterpiece :)

The image has disappeared before I could grab it, but it looked great! But are you sure you want to use that? I mean it covers half of your other plot! [:)]

more alien shenanigans

also dont wanna be a whinger but discmage's plot is like stuffing up the perspective of mine and pants plots below it (i actually didnt notice this, a friend pointed it out when i showed him pixel town) cause its like overlapping n stuff.

Okay, I had my last exam today so I finally got around to creating something else for the sumea town. Couldn't see any LOTR references so I made a nice hobbit hole.

Souri, you can download the PSD here. It has the transparencies in there, so you can paste it in and get the proper amount of colours.

Isn't my piece showing up? I've got a new storage solution and I'm still working out the bugs, but it should be visible..

Anyway, I think I'll adjust the UFO so it's not blocking my other plots then. It's a shame, cause I don't really want to scale it down. I might just start again [:P]
-so don't place it in Pixel town just yet, thanks Souri [:)]

And about discmage's plot - it does kind of look odd overlapping other plots. It would be cool to have that corrected - especially since we can't see Pants' cool bats anymore! [:)]
