Haha just joking because there always seems so few of us not doing some form of pixel art(and I quite like your 3D stuff heh)
Ive become a fan of taking a large HD image, and scaling it down to give it a pixelated lookWhy? My 3d graphics were pre-rendered fake anyway And I'll likely go back to that for the next jam too. I doubt I'll enjoy the pixel art process enough to switch on a more permanent basis for anything. I've just been meaning to force myself to give it an actual go for quite a while now.
nope you committed. Your pixel art will be judged with the highest of standards. After all that bragging…….I hope you guys are prepared....this is the first jam I'm going to do with pixel art! I haven't decided on a palette yet, if I'm going to try something like one of the Dawnbringers 16 or 32 color ones, or go more minimal and do something like Atari style or OG GB 4 colors, or even monotone. But in some fashion, I'm going all pixel art. I make no promises that things won't be ugly like my other entries, but they WILL be pixel art
No 3D Evanski,Ok, I've got a somewhat unordinary community prize:
- To the game that I personally find to have the most excellent or inspiring game-identifying graphic (e.g. a character, enemy, item, structure, etc.), I offer a low poly 3D recreation of said graphic, in the form of a spinning GIF.
- Conditions: Only graphics made by a team member are eligible. 3rd-party graphical assets do not count. If a game does not include credits for graphics, it's not eligible either. Please include credits.
~ EXAMPLES ~
I took some test runs using characters from last jam. Note: Unlike these examples, I'll offer various sizes, including at least one that's signature-friendly.
Shroom Boy by @Poizen
Shadow Bouncer by @JordanOttesen
and, yes, I PM'd the host, as per proper prize offering procedure
That's really awesome. Thank you for putting in the effort to make this available to us.
LOL, damn right I commited....to doing pixel art. It aint bragging if you can actually do it That said, this is exactly why I'm choosing a minimalist palette...gotta take that step out of the way to make the rest easier. And I certainly expect my pixel "art" to be judged...especially after all the HD high level stuff I've put out before hahaha.nope you committed.

Now I get where the "traitor" part comes in. I probably will only be able to make myself go pixels for this one jam. I'm only doing it to basically force myself to do something different and out of the box from what I'm used to. You won't see anything more than a jam game from me done in pixel art anytime soon for sure though. I like my 3d stuff too much, and it's the only way I can get anything resembling "acceptable" as far as art goes.Haha just joking because there always seems so few of us not doing some form of pixel art(and I quite like your 3D stuff heh)
Doing your own art is a automatic 5 place bump in my books.LOL, damn right I commited....to doing pixel art.

Actually, kburkhart would do his own art whether it would be 3D models or pixel art.Doing your own art is a automatic 5 place bump in my books.
Alice has informed me I missed this one, and it turns out I did.Ya can add my 500+ font commercial use license prize to the top 3 entries there.
Wish I had time to enter / vote... but... life.
But what if,One catch I thought of...you guys who followed the clues that lead to MANY ENEMIES...what if that is ALSO just a clue, and the theme is just MINI ENEMIES?!?!?!
And this is why I might think of ideas for these themes ahead of time, but I'm not committing to a damn thing until I have theme confirmation...you just never know.But what if,
I just wanted you to think Many Enemies was a clue
???
For the record, the theme is neither MANY ENEMIES nor MINI ENEMIES. Now what it can be...One catch I thought of...you guys who followed the clues that lead to MANY ENEMIES...what if that is ALSO just a clue, and the theme is just MINI ENEMIES?!?!?!
This is a valid guess given the clues. Seems like it could be in bold for a reason.My apologies, its now been added
Figured as much. I just like Make Enemies so I'm hoping for that, but My Apologies is a very good guess too (and a really hard theme I think).For the record, the theme is neither MANY ENEMIES nor MINI ENEMIES. Now what it can be...
Hint: The theme has been correctly guessed before this post.its Alice's theme
and im sure most people already know what it is
MYTHOLOGIES sure would be a great theme!
You're welcome.MYTHOLOGIES for the win. And if that ends up being the theme, it's going to be the best game jam theme in the history of both game jams and theming!
Didn't you mean to post it in the Games Topic?Alright, I'm in. Reserving a spot.
This, I suppose?And just what am I supposed to do with all of these?
I didnt think that people would jump onto it like everyone did, I thought most people would question why I was so willing to just practically give a full hint, so whoops!So the given clue directly pointed to "many enemies"....but I was certainly vindicated when I said it could be a false lead. I actually figured it was either "many enemies", "mini enemies" or I did have some suspicion for Mythologies. I actually had an idea that fit the enemies ones already, but like I said I wasn't committed to anything yet. I wasn't able to come up with anything for Mythologies as easily though, so here we go.
I think you gotta figure out more which letters to reveal more than anything. Revealing those 3 IES letters narrows things down somewhat(even if there are still lots of words out there). That process is also theme dependent since some words are just common like that.I didnt think that people would jump onto it like everyone did, I thought most people would question why I was so willing to just practically give a full hint, so whoops!
But I think it was fun, for me at least, to watch everyone guess and prove with out a doubt their guess was correct.
Definitely still need to get better with the teases
working on an update so thememer will calculate the best letters to reveal for meI think you gotta figure out more which letters to reveal more than anything.

THAT will be neat, automating the revelation of the ones that leave the MOST guesses out there. Bet that the first letter is gonna often be the last letter revealed.working on an update so thememer will calculate the best letters to reveal for me
Old man Toque IS a legend!Hmmmm Im not sure I can do a "old man toque" game for this one........ But I have an idea for a game.
