Welcome to the first Sprite 'Em Up Pixelart Challenge. Its goal is to improve our spriting skills, trying new techniques, analyzing different sprite styles and having some fun pushing pixels. I plan to hold these challenges on a two week base and I hope enough people are in for it to keep it going on for a while. I also made a poll to decide what the next theme should be. If anyone has suggestions or questions, just let me know. Anyway, enough of boring introduction stuff and right to the topic. Our first challenge's theme is Remakes/Demakes Basicallly I want to see stuff like Serious Sam reimagined as an oldschool run n gun, Zelda II with SNES graphics, Master of Darkness with a style like SotN, or Demon Souls as an NES game. No matter if you decide to re- or to demake though it'd be even cooler if you can do both. You have pretty much freedom, but if you decide to do a specific platform's look, it would be cool if you could stick to the platforms restrictions, at least in terms of palettes and resolution. Just make it look more or less authentic instead of a pseudo-retro look like Scott Pilgrim or AVGN Adventures. I hope you understand what I mean^^ Last but not least some helpful links about different color palettes http://www.retroshowcase.gr/index.php?p=palette http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_console_palettes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_8-bit_computer_hardware_palettes http://www.create-games.com/article.asp?id=2215 May the pixelbash begin!
