Maybe we could always have the last 5 activity banners on display? If they're closed down we could add "CLOSED" somewhere in the banner.
That way there would always be stuff you could check out as a new member or someone passing through.

Any body for an RP section?
I'm sure there are a lot of creative ways of using pixel art inside some sort of role play. That should have the appeal of having lots of art in one place and keeping members active.

Why (and the pokemon critique thread is obviously to blame for this idea) we could have a pokemon RP where we all design our trainer sprites and accompanying pokemon. We could also do an RPG character from the Final Fantasy series or some such and role play them. The possibilities are endless!  :noob:

Use it, don't use it.

By the way, looking at the stats, it seems like they've gone up a bit since this topic was started.

I still think we should have more banners up there, for previous activities too!
Everyone likes banners and it makes the forum seem more alive with stuff going on :)
It's also nice seeing some art up there, which compensates for the lack of a skin a bit.

The pokemens threads are wonderful. Good job for everyone involved and extra thanks to Ryu for the initiative and work. Just seeing actual header images in the top right corner makes me happy. We need to get trucking on other fronts too.

I am just curious if there were already demake-challenges or activities.
It could be a fun approach for a group of people to capture a well designed 3D style with 2D graphics and trying to build a mockup once there are some graphics.

A de-make thread would be awesome..

Dark souls seems to be pretty popular ;)
Pretty tough to work with though, but I can't think of any popular games that have a really unique style.

I'd personally want to do a League of Legends de-make thread. Not sure how popular it would be, but I play League a lot so it would be fun.
Portal de-make could also be fun.

Demake sounds fine but not when restricting it to just one particular game/series.   Never even heard of league of legends.
NES, Amiga & Amstrad CPC inspired
I know nothing about pixel art

It's what the youngsters play these days, when they're not playing call of duty or listening to skrillex.

I think there's room for more than one de-make thread. A specific thread would be a larger project while a generic thread could be used for mockups.

But it's easier to get the ball rolling around one game or a theme and I like League of Legends since it has a wide array of characters to pick from.
