Can I get a list of all the mods for pixelation? I got something I want to send, and I don't want to leave any of them out.
Also, any suggestiosn for a halloween challenge? If we're going to do one, then I figure we've got until the 3rd week of Oct. to decide on how to do it. I'm more of a tiling man, so what I would like to see is a mass collaboration graveyard. It'd be like the tile collaborations before pixelation's latest crash where people take numbers and fill in the corresponding tile on the map. However, there wouldn' be any long lines as you wait for someone to finish up the tile next to yours as each tile on the map would be completely modular.
An mockup showing hwo it might be done:
On the left is a cross-section of a graveyard. there is a large variety of terrain types, varying from the surface to dirt, a cavern underground and even magma if someone were up to it. The possibilitiess are endless. you could get together with some fellow members and create interesting scenes in the dirt. Maybe a robot hell or two, or even jut a plain hell. Perhaps some sort of zombie city will materialise, or even a plain cross section of some poor soul banging against his coffin after being buried alive. Above this is a wide open sky for anyone to take advantage of. Witches, moons, bats, whatever you can think of.
On the right is a simple top-down graveyard. It would be as the left divided into tiles with each person free to draw whatever they want on their tile. Some might go for the classy headstone, the zombie lover might feel content with a zombie bursting from it's grave. The possibilities aren't as great with this one, but it would allow for the creation of a very interesting graveyard unique to this very community and its members.
And to increase the consistency between artists, the midtones at the very least would be decided on prior to the challenge being started. Everyone would have the same colour grass, dirt, sky, cavern and would be able to draw from these to get an idea of what colours they would use. Might even be good to include some example hightlights and shadows for those who want it.
Maybe use a 64x64 tile as the standard. That should provide enought space for the most part. It will also allow people to complete multiple tiles.
