  • Rewriting old player movement code

    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…

  • Working on a small game to showcase the Devlog

    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

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

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

    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…

  • A time for change

    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…

  • Some of my olddddd work

    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 [:)])

I'm gonna put that in at the end... and probably place a few little tiny pieces of pixel art here and there. Some 'Where's Wally' kinda stuff too.

And yeh, 5 more to go! C'mon people! [:)]

Can I please have plot 25. I asked for it back on page 1. but for some reson it says that goldenchocobo has it.

Submitted by souri on Fri, 30/07/04 - 5:26 PM Permalink

I can't see your post on page 1, but it's most likely your plot was given away since you didn't do anything with it for many months.

Submitted by goodgod on Sat, 31/07/04 - 12:46 AM Permalink

oops sorry I meant page 5. Can I please have 25 back I started to do my plot and then I saw that I didn't have it anymore.

Submitted by Goldenchocobo on Sat, 31/07/04 - 9:23 AM Permalink

goodgod has done a pretty cool job on his plot and seems to be oblivious that he ever lost it until now. He can use my vacant plot(25) if it is no trouble.

rock

you owe me goodgod, realestate isn't cheap[:p].

neat goodgod reminds me of golden sun the GBA game, they had a large thing like that in there home town

wrong game but thanks any way.

Submitted by souri on Mon, 02/08/04 - 8:42 PM Permalink

Ok, that's up.. only two more plots to go ! [B)]

I have an idea for another pixel activity. It'll be fun, and quick to do. I'll get that started once this is done! No more stinkin 'reserve your plots' shenanigans. First in, first placed!

Submitted by MoonUnit on Tue, 03/08/04 - 12:17 AM Permalink

dunno, that could kinda suck if you outfit something for a particular spot and then halfway through creating it someone else takes it. Unless your doing something where everyones "plot" (or whatever for the activity) is equal anyway. Otherwise a reservation with a deadline (ie a week after resservation) was mentioned somewhere...

Submitted by souri on Tue, 03/08/04 - 8:25 PM Permalink

Yep, everyone's plot/space will have the exact same floor size.

So you slow people will get shafted... just like nature intended.

SHAFTED!!!!

Sorry all [:(]
Have been really hectic at work, doing 50 hours a week and have recently been sick with the flu.
Palantir can keep my spot #46 with the alien crop circles, love it! [8D] Not that I'd be getting my plot back anyway.

Sorry for the lack of input [:(]
I'll do better next time for Town 2 [:o)]

Submitted by Melkor on Sun, 08/08/04 - 9:55 PM Permalink

is 11 still open? cause I didn't see any buildings in that spot.... if so... Could I grab it perhaps?

Submitted by souri on Tue, 10/08/04 - 3:56 AM Permalink

#11 is reserved for Happy Camper.. We'll have to wait and see if he does anything with it.

Submitted by palantir on Fri, 13/08/04 - 5:41 AM Permalink

I hope Happy Camper isn?t just camping?

Morphine -> thanks [:)]

Submitted by Happy Camper on Fri, 13/08/04 - 10:20 PM Permalink

hehehe, I'll try and get it done by the weekend, if not Souri can give it to someone else.

Submitted by souri on Thu, 19/08/04 - 3:25 AM Permalink

I want you to do one, since you haven't done a plot previously. So c'mon guys! [:)]

Submitted by souri on Tue, 05/10/04 - 3:49 PM Permalink

Ok, it's been over a month now.. the last two *final* plots for Sumea Pixel Town is up for grabs. Yell now and mark a spot and please finish off this activity!!

Submitted by palantir on Tue, 26/10/04 - 3:25 AM Permalink

I can?t believe no one has even reserved a spot!!! Hang your heads in shame [:(!]

Okay, in the interest in getting this activity completed, I guess I?ll do another one. Though this will be my fourth? [^] (I?d much rather see someone who hasn?t done one have a go, but it doesn?t look likely to happen). -If anyone else wants to take it off me, say so in the next couple of days!

Souri, if I do one, why don?t you do the honours of completing this activity with the final piece? ?It doesn?t look like anyone else could be bothered [:P]
