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 [:)])

729 please!

Nah just kidding, mines finished (And by finished i mean slack job) but where do i submit it (I cant be bothered finding webspace or asking my brother for some [:p])

QUESTION (Bet that got your attention):
Also is there going to be another plot of Sumea space coming soon? It seems popular enough for it... and who knows it could end up on the back of a Sumea t-shirt, i would love a t-shirt with my work and other peoples funny stuff on it and just have names at the bottom or something [:p]! Whos with me for Sumea pixel town t-shirts [;)]?

If there is another one I think it would be cool to have themes... A space station, fantasy, hell, etc..

pixel arts fun as but boy does it take long!, that little brewery i created up there took me at least 3 hours, i hear people talking about making basic 3D modells in that time :P

I think another pixel town but zoomed in more. So like Pixel Street.

well its near filled! :D hey inglis howabout another one from you? i dont think theres any doubt that youve got the best one on there currently :)

It would be cool to have a theme for the next one. What about a city? We will soon have a full Sumea town, so a Sumea city seems a natural progression. Having a theme would just mean that everyone should try and create their art according to the location.

But making a massive high-rise Sumea mega-city sounds like fun to me [:)]

Hey, that's good [:)}. I love the car!
13 spots left, people! The town is almost fully ocupied, but there sure are a lot of you who've reserved spots for ages and haven't made your graphic! C'mon slackers [:)]

*Upon entrance*
"Welcome to the SumeArmory & Shooting Range, upon exit please empty your magazines, preferablly at the nearest customers head, Today we have a special on AK's seeing as we are overstocked, they are $9.99 each, so buy one for your little son and let him play cowboys and indians. We also have a target range outback for those of you who don't like kiling humans. The SumeArmory & Shooting Range what neighbourhood would be complete without us arming angry citizens.

Some how I think the old cow boys and indians died out with my parents generation. I think these days the little boys play Terrorists and US. No one wants to be on the terrorist side because they run around with there fake guns while the US throw rocks in the air and try and bomb them :P

Having problems with uploading that block of graphic... I'm having trouble with ftping up binary files over 10k. Server keeps timing out. I'm kinda sick of telling the server admin to fix it, only to have the problem resurface again and again and again.. Spent the last half hour trying to upload a 13k gif file. Very tired and angry.

Well I had mine 90% complete when photoshop decided to crash as a went to save the file on the uni computers. An attempt to access my student drive on the network proceded to crash the whole thing. Managed to get back into the server however the file was all corrupted. Damn uni computers.
