I have noted that a lot of topics have been bumped lately by almost non-related or completely unnecessary, non-informative, non-contributing posts. Should I start locking?

indexcard · 06-20-2005, 06:07 AM

Don't lock it! But prepare the lock thread button. Posts are almost on topic, I guess. Well anyway I like the sprites, a bit. But the sprites aren't the best I've seen. I feel like MM sprites are the most editable sprites in the world.

Spritedude · 06-29-2005, 03:02 PM

Ok, this isn't a Tech kid sheet, but it's a sheet of a superhero team i made. Tell me wat to change, add, take out, etc.

(Yes, I know MM7 sprites, but those are the easiest for me to edit. When i get better, i'll start making sprites from scratch)
I have a drawn picture of the team. If you want me to scan it and post it tell me.

Codiekitty · 06-29-2005, 03:35 PM

I see somebody's in the Fantastic Four mood.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Spritedude · 06-29-2005, 03:44 PM

Yeah, that's kinda what the superheroes are based on. But are the sprites good?

Mikhail Gorbachev · 06-29-2005, 05:32 PM

The shadow effects are abysmal. They are ugly, poorly colored, and uneven. The fire effects are extremely daft. The shading is poor and the streching effects are ugly. There is excess white space, wasting substantial amounts of space, both in coded data and pixels, while simultaneously making the sprite sheet look ugly and extremely unprofessional. The hair is odd, unrealistic, and poorly sprited. The recolors are overued and the same for every sprite. The sprites are hardly edited at all. The entire image suffers high loss of color information, due to being saved as a .GIF image. I'm sicks of those who are to lazy to spend 3 minutes, at most to download something that supports .PNG images.

Other than that, the sprites are amazing...

...and I mean "Other than that" as "Other than everything ."

Spritedude · 06-29-2005, 06:33 PM

I could have sworn I saved it as a png. Wierd. And the suits are all the same cause they're a team. And most of my drawings are unrealistic because they are supposed to be cartoonish. I guess i should stick to just hand drawing my comics.

Glyph Phoenix · 06-29-2005, 08:35 PM

Or you could stop making comics altogether. That would be very nice.

Spritedude · 06-29-2005, 10:32 PM

Hey dude, you haven't even seen my hand drawn comix before, how can you judge them? I may not have any spriting skills, but i got drawing skills.

Glyph Phoenix · 06-30-2005, 03:53 AM

Excuse me for being skeptical, but you have no spelling ability. You have no spriting ability. You certainly have no comic making ability. And you apparently don't have the ability to tell whether or not your work is bad.

And now I'm supposed to believe that, when you are going 0 for 4, you actually have a skill? While possible, highly unlikely.

And XML42, stop ripping on .gifs. They have shorter download times and if you use a decent program like Photoshop you can get 256 colors, enough for sprites.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 06-30-2005, 04:11 AM

MS Paint's BMP to GIF converter sucks, so I'd suggest;
1) Find a better converter.
B) Convert it to PNG, rather than GIF.

Spritedude · 07-13-2005, 03:59 PM

It seems like everyone, especially Glyph, thinks that every sprite or comic has to be perfect. Well guess what, THEY DON"T.
Everyone started out as a newb. And the noobs today will someday become great comic makers. But, if everyone discourages them they'll think thery're horrible and leave. Then less and less people will come to this board. Eventually, there will be so few people, that this board will probably shut down. So if people start out bad, it doesn't mean they won't be good in the future. So can everyone lower their expectations a bit, for this boards sake? Tell people what to fix in they're comics, and try to help them, dont just say "Oh, you suck, get out of here"
Please, everyone do this, or our board is DOOMED.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 07-13-2005, 09:03 PM

I have to agree. I've seen quite a few members leave VGF because people tell them that their comics are horrible, and that they should quit making them. As you said, Tech Kid, it seems like lots of members in this forum say that newb comics are bad, but they don't say why. It can really bring a comic maker down.

No comic is perfect. Only the ones that suck I have problems with.

Quote:

It's sad because you think it's true.

Quote:

And this is... a bad thing?

Quote:

Better than worse and worse people coming to this board.

Quote:

This board already does have only a few people. And that's far better than being a board with a lot of stupid people. I'd much rather see VGF offline than solely as a home for a bunch of ROFLMAOLOLers and half-baked sprite comics.

It doesn't mean they will be good in the future. And if they become good then they're welcome to come back.

Quote:

No. My high expectations discourage n00bs and encourage good comic makers (because my praise is rather hard to obtain nowadays). And, of course, it's fun.

Quote:

Aha. But what if you tell them to fix their comics and how, and tell them they suck and they should leave? If they follow either instruction you win.

Quote:

The board isn't doomed because we want idiots to leave. Geez.

As for you, Jumi, we dont' get anything by having crappy n00b comics around. Next, bringing comics down without reason is and should be discouraged. But we have plenty of good reasons.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 07-14-2005, 02:53 AM

So, Glyph, you're saying that it's fun to bring newb comic makers down? And that you'd rather have somebody quit not only making comics, but VGF, instead of helping them along so they can get better? You know, I would have posted something like Tech Kid did, to get members like you to give reasons why some sprites and comics are bad, but I was afraid that you would come in and disagree with every word I said, and possibly start another arguement, like you have in the past. This is why I don't like you, Glyph. Even though you make good, funny comics, I still don't like you. I don't care if I'm one of the only members to think things like Tech Kid posted, I'm still standing by it.

I don't think Glyph quite thinks it's fun to bring newbie comic makers down. I'm sure he had fun infuriating me, and I'm far from being a newbie.

If you haven't noticed, Glyph does help. The authors just choose to listen to the insult part and usually nothing else.

Now, Jumi, it's okay, it's okay that you'd rather have a bustling hive of idiocy than a small, relatively close-knit community of significantly higher intelligence. Just remember that you're one of the few. You have two mods and most of the comics forum against your side.

Spritedude · 07-14-2005, 02:49 PM

Well, then I'm on Jumi's side!

(builds sandbag wall around me and Jumi and ducks behind it)

All noobs come join the PWHGBHIAMABN team! (People who hate Glyph because he is always mean and bullies noobs)

Glyph Phoenix · 07-14-2005, 03:02 PM

I have something against idiots and bad comic makers and somehow that makes me the bad guy. If you want to go someplace that encourages idiocy go to Gamefaqs.

And Jumi, the only reason I disagree with every word someone says is because sometimes every word they say is wrong.
