Sumea Pixel Town!!!!

Submitted by souri on Sun, 01/02/2004 - 5:58am

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 [:)])

Plot 9 for me please. are animated gifs a goer, or static images only?

well here it is, took much longer than I thought it would! Looks like me and Souri are living in the swanky part of town. Lets hope that Inglis and Smeg arn't planning highrise apartments. Might damage our property value [;)]

I guess animated gifs are ok, but only 2 frames! Too many submissions with lots of frames would clog loading times up a bit I reckons.

I've updated the guide so there's no confusion as to who actually gets the red line area to draw on. [;)] That link doesn't seem to be working, Kane. You know you shouldn't have spaces in filenames, btw.. [;)]

Ahh, working now. Strange.
