Story of Undertale

[teal grove]

i wish you both a very pleasant die

[cedar quest]

Anyways, I am gonna break character again to say one thing. I am alright, don't think because I'm typing all this downer stuff in special-contest that I'm in a bad spot, quite the opposite if anything. It just fits the nature of the contest.

[teal grove]

is the contest who can make the most depressed mon?

[cedar quest]

No.

[teal grove]

is the contest another little cup?

[cedar quest]

I promise you right now, that you have the tools to figure out the theme, right now.

[teal grove]

all participants are forced to make a random fusion of two mons

[cedar quest]

And I will neither confirm nor deny what those 2 first polls are, yes you gave me the data, your opinions, and everything around it, but you never gave me the one thing I needed.

Your

YOUR

[teal grove]

*you're

anyway, we just need to wait for the results of the contest now

[wind topaz]

Katten Ball S

[wind matrix]

first we gotta sit through filler episodes for a week

[quartz locust]

@teal grove Deleted one of your posts on account of Rule 7. Please don't talk about sprites being submitted to a contest.

[tall moss]

its a judged contest

[quartz locust]

Ah. Force of habit. 😂

[wind matrix]

Rule 7 doesn't apply for this one

now paying scrapi to give me a perfect score on the other hand

[teal grove]

Bruh

[crude cedar]

Me waiting for the contest results: ...

[wind matrix]

still got a little less then a week of filler episodes

[teal grove]

when tournament arc conclusion

[wind matrix]

prob friday

[teal grove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-catcry-gif-19131995

[wind matrix]

suffer

[teal grove]

in a regular contest the polls at least had something interesting to wait for

do we now also get to see the scores of the fusions that didnt make the top 3?

[wind matrix]

I assume so considering the last contest shows all of them

Also I'm sure it takes a while to judge all the sprites. esp with so many

[teal grove]

itll take them a while to judge eevee/rayquaza

[wind matrix]

yup

[teal grove]

itll also take them a while to give a proper score to xatu/spiritomb ;)

[wind matrix]

[silver merlin]

be patient lmfao

[misty acorn]

I think the judging is 88% done

Thats probably what Kattens nickname means

[silver merlin]

and you are probably 94% on the way to hell

[teal grove]

sorry

[silver merlin]

its good

im only working on setting in the sprites rn because someone didnt want to do that 👀

im about halfway done with inserting the sprites

[wind matrix]

Go slower

[silver merlin]

there we go

done

@weary pagoda i fixed your docs

[teal grove]

[silver merlin]

now to wait for the other people to judge

spoiler for the contest

[teal grove]

based

[arctic delta]

AAAAAAAAAA MY EYES

[crude cedar]

Still waiting for the judging to be over ._.

[compact saddle]

be patient for gods sake

[crude cedar]

No

[compact saddle]

removes your entries

[crude cedar]

Nooooo xddd

[compact saddle]

but fr

[crude cedar]

Ik but like it’s been over 24 hours

[compact saddle]

dont be reminding us every day
we know we need to judge

[compact saddle]

its not like we have a time constraint.

we are people, and its a lot of sprites

please.

[crude cedar]

Ok

[normal dock]

Each with a different timezone

I couldn’t imagine coordinating it lol

[quartz locust]

People have lives outside of this server, be patient please. Judging always takes a while because the judges give detailed comments about each of the sprites. It's honestly normally quite good advice that they give as well, even for the higher scoring entries. 🙂

[crisp cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-your-gif-22328611

[compact saddle]

ok.

[placid pelican]

contests usually take like a week for the voting/judging stuff

just need to be patient

[cedar quest]

Indeed

[wind matrix]

My gosh. You should take extra long with the voting

[mild furnace]

what? Imagine correcting someone incorrectly

[wind matrix]

It's just a meme now where you post that regardless of how someone spells it XD

[mild furnace]

Oh, okay. Still trying to understand post-post-irony

[teal grove]

Dont worry man, once you get to modern post²³-irony, no one understands it anymore. It's just guessing at that point

[foggy reef]

can't wait to see the contest results :)

i'd say the sprites I submitted were my best ones yet lol

[teal grove]

Same, im really proud of my magcargo/flygon

[foggy reef]

omg that one looks so sick

magcargo fusions always look dope

[teal grove]

yeah, tho the rayquaza one i cant beat

[silver merlin]

hm yes we are totally finished soon

[teal grove]

Wait how are yall organizing this

[wind topaz]

Can’t believe Katten showed us some of the scores before they were all ready

[silver merlin]

yours got a solid 0 out of 30

[long nacelle]

i mean thats probs accurate for my score xD

[teal grove]

[tiny trellis]

"Placeholder" I will take this critique to heart

[teal grove]

so wait actually

the gray is from katten

is the blue from scrapi?

[silver merlin]

blue is from skeln for some reason

[teal grove]

got it

now to wait for the results

im more excited for the criticism straight from some of the best spriters

[wind matrix]

These are some good scores tho. Hard to beat

[silver merlin]

"your sprite is peepeepoopoo"

[misty acorn]

I didnt know I got to rate sprites

[wind topaz]

But I associated him with green because of or orange because of his name color

[weary pagoda]

I would have set myself to green, but I've put myself on 3rd column and preferred to keep that one blue because those are the colors the other judged contests used

(could've just put myself on 2nd column I know )

[wind matrix]

But you're orange

[thorn robin]

skel'n is gree'n

[weary pagoda]

Knuckles and Punko are right, I'm gree'n

[wind matrix]

🤔

[gray igloo]

But I am Green

[compact saddle]

false

[gray igloo]

What?!

[compact saddle]

yeah

[gray igloo]

Then, who am I?

[compact saddle]

politoed (canon)

[gray igloo]

Does that make you metagross?

[compact saddle]

i dont know

[gray igloo]

[thorn robin]

scrapi is brazil lol

[wind matrix]

Skel'n will never not be orange for me

[weary pagoda]

Did you know I spent as many time with an orange name than with a blue one here in IF?

(Also, Scrapi is right, I myself was secretly Jirachi)

[wind matrix]

I wasn't here then so it didn't happen

[tall moss]

one day no one will remember our old blue days

[wind matrix]

also didn't happen

[misty acorn]

Pretty sure when I stopped being a mod I had been a mod for more than 50% of my time being on this server

[weary pagoda]

No one except me, I'll always remember my All-Seeing Skel'n times

[weary pagoda]

How long have you been here by the way?

[misty acorn]

Since early 2020

Right before covid really hit

[weary pagoda]

Damn, I thought you joined mid-year

I think covid actually brought a lot of people in, even nowadays most of the regulars came on June/July

Grandpa Tomate

[misty acorn]

I think Blaq and me joining was only a few days apart or something

6 days appearently, ye

[quartz locust]

And then Katten wasn't long after us, too. 😄

[weary pagoda]

Then I think I joined around one or two weeks after Katten

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/everything-is-connected-neil-degrasse-tyson-startalk-everything-is-related-everything-is-linked-gif-20161060

[weary pagoda]

And after all the time I'm quite curious of how that place would have been if some of us didn't come 👀

[thorn robin]

blurseder

[weary pagoda]

Including all those people who wonder why the game has so many Chinchous

[misty acorn]

I joined because of a german youtuber doing a playthrough and mentioning people from the discord (mostly Retrogamer) making sprites for him : D

[thorn robin]

i joined because i saw a munching orange video back in the day and i already had tried doing fusions sprites

[quartz locust]

I started playing the game, made some sprites for my starter line (Bulbasaur / Pichu), and came to the Discord for some reason. I really don't quite know how I ended up here, but here we are. 😂

[quartz locust]

Oh same, I mean my username itself was one of those fusions. 🙂

[thorn robin]

i ended up here cause the reddit was cursed

they helped me a lot

but then it died

[rain stump]

Boy I'm glad I randomly came across this obscure pokemon fangame

I love this community

fr

[thorn robin]

same

love you doods

[weary pagoda]

I joined after following a french youtuber playthrough and was impressed by the custom sprites Elite Four had and that I could make my own stuff too 👀

We all only care about sprites lol

[misty acorn]

normal mode elite 4 sprites be kinda trash tho ngl

[quartz locust]

I made my Rayquaza / Blaziken using one of my oldest fusions (Blaquaza, obviously not according to IF's naming policy). I've been doing fusions for a long time. 😄

[rain stump]

the real blaquaza

[thorn robin]

please stand up

[quartz locust]

And to think that fusion alone is almost as old as Pengu and Spleens.

[weary pagoda]

The playthrough is over three years ago, I was too used to auto-generated fusions

[thorn robin]

oh god blaq why would you say that, i feel old now

[wind matrix]

I joined cause someone who makes awesome comics started streaming this. Came to the discord cause my game wouldn't load up 🤣

[misty acorn]

ah, frogmans classical trap

[wind matrix]

[weary pagoda]

Imagine if your game loaded
You wouldn't have got into sprite dementia like everyone here

[wind matrix]

Tru

I may have made some and not shared them with anyone XD

[placid pelican]

are torchic and rayquaza your favourite pokemon?

[quartz locust]

Blaziken and Rayquaza are, yeah. 😄

Torchic and Combusken are too, by extension. 🙂

[placid pelican]

i saw a wild torchic/rayquaza in a random pond in my last IF playthrough

it happened to be on your birthday too

[wind matrix]

nice

[thorn robin]

https://tenor.com/view/coincidence-i-think-not-coincidence-i-think-not-the-incredibles-gif-5096707

[quartz locust]

I asked Frogman to litter them around on my birthday.

[wind matrix]

XD

[rain stump]

both of them are one of my friend's favourites too

he absolutely hates combusken though

[wind matrix]

🤣

combusken is underated. I like the penis-shaped fella

[rain stump]

I think he looks very awkward

[wind matrix]

he's just in the awkward teenage years

[quartz locust]

My description of Combusken what led to a pin in #spriter-general. 😂

I can get why it's not as popular as Torchic (adorable chick friend) and Blaziken (a chicken that could kick the crap out of you and also has fire wrists), though. 😅

[wind matrix]

XD

I don't see the pin in there

[wet flax]

[plush vale]

it's obviously a cock

[wind matrix]

XD

[plush vale]

ah tht point was made

[wind matrix]

nothing wrong with cocks

[compact saddle]

ha, ha, haha

[tall moss]

scrapi remembers

[compact saddle]

i will never not blue

not even by choice

[tall moss]

you were beige for like 2 hours not long ago

[compact saddle]

true

also i was grey, multiple times

[tall moss]

one day we will whittle frogman down enough to allow more fun color roles

[compact saddle]

yes

[wind matrix]

make me purple

[crude cedar]

I want red .-.

or orange

or grey

or yellow

[compact saddle]

[crude cedar]

no

plus I don't feel comfy giving my age anyway

[rain stump]

🆗

[wind matrix]

Claws is 12

[placid pelican]

🐆

[crude cedar]

no

Don't assume

or ask my age either

[wind matrix]

I have assumed

[wind topaz]

That sounds like you might be too young to legally be on discord

[wind matrix]

Knuckles is too young to be legally on discord

[crude cedar]

no its just none of your business knuckles.

you never know how many creeps there are on discord

[compact saddle]

you are really sounding like one

[crude cedar]

._.

idc

as long as I'm not one

[wind matrix]

I'm 31

[crude cedar]

🆗

[wind matrix]

come at me creeps

[crude cedar]

creeps are looking for them teenagers .-.

[wind matrix]

you just outed yourself

[crude cedar]

yeah a teen is 13 till 17

I'm not twelve

[compact saddle]

im safe from creeps im 10

[wind matrix]

basically Claws is babi

[crude cedar]

if you really are 10 then i report for breaking the TOS lol

[compact saddle]

@dusk schooner tell him my age, you are trustworthy source

[crude cedar]

but I know your not cause ten year olds can't spell for shit

[compact saddle]

whhta ody yoummean?

[dusk schooner]

Scrapi's 14

[placid pelican]

I’m 50 light years old

[wind matrix]

you're a distance?

[placid pelican]

yes

[wind matrix]

🤔

[compact saddle]

im 19km old

[wind matrix]

I'm 2 liters old

[compact saddle]

(should we be in this channel)

[placid pelican]

Possibly

[dusk schooner]

No

[crude cedar]

( #general)

[thorn robin]

Technically speaking a teen is someone from 13 to 19

[compact saddle]

NOOOOOOO

[thorn robin]

Sorry scrapi

[wind matrix]

XD

[carmine roost]

Damn

[molten field]

[wind matrix]

[plush vale]

contest-general

it says right up there smh

[molten field]

oh I'm messing up with sprite-general 😂🙏

[teal grove]

Gamr can you like

At least tell us when we are getting the announcement itself

[cedar quest]

((Later today))

[teal grove]

pog

[cedar quest]

((There's going to be 2 announcements))

[teal grove]

double pog

[cedar quest]

I hope you all enjoy

Next announcement is for those that don't like Sponsored's that much, and are much more into the normal series.

[misty acorn]

Maybe I'll try to submit something for once

[cedar quest]

Do ittttt

Bring up that bonus!

[tall moss]

anything goes contest

[misty acorn]

My theme will be "anything"

[tiny trellis]

Seems like a fun contest and not only because money is involved

[tall moss]

my theme will be pokemon

[tiny trellis]

my theme will be contest winner

[weary pagoda]

My theme will be "time to do a few more % on my team"

(Actually not, I'll genuinely do something cooler and new for this one)

[compact saddle]

Can i have multiple themes? @cedar quest

[cedar quest]

Nope, just the one theme

Think out your theme and some entries to make

[compact saddle]

my theme: sprite

[cedar quest]

[compact saddle]

hmm

could i have a theme be literally a pokemon?

like: metagross

gamr

[weary pagoda]

Wtf GamR

Two contests at once

[cedar quest]

That's right

And considering the other one was my own suggestion, if it's less popular, I don't mind shafting it

[cedar quest]

Yes, I literally did that example with "Jigglypuff"

[compact saddle]

could i also do shit like

"legendary"

[cedar quest]

also yes

[mossy belfry]

my theme: winner

[compact saddle]

can it be repeated fusions, if they unfortunately exist?

[cedar quest]

Yeah

Also

Can't believe no one asked me this yet

Since I forgot it

The deadlines

[weary pagoda]

I think I'm gonna go with "jungle" because Xtreme Reptiles was pretty much a lost opportunity for me

[tall moss]

can i make 5 calamity-themed sprites for the themed comp and then 5 OTHER calamity-themed sprites for the spons comp

[compact saddle]

this will be hard as fuck

im not creative

gamr choose for me

[thorn robin]

Was gonna ask about that right now

[cedar quest]

Nope, that is the one thing I specified you can't do

I'm gonna edit the spons'd one with that info as well

[tall moss]

but theyd be different sprites

[weary pagoda]

So calamity is a banned theme?

[cedar quest]

Oh wait

I misread

My apologies

You can

Just don't enter the same sprite twice

If you do Calamity

[tall moss]

obviously i was very serious about that yes

[cedar quest]

Well, yeah, but it's still something that could technically happen, so it's a good question to ask

[compact saddle]

ok now i will have to ask literally every one of my friends what theme i could choose since im mentally ill

[tall moss]

titans

[compact saddle]

theme: over 80x80

[misty acorn]

finished my calamity entry, took me 2 days to make

[tall moss]

im voting for that one

[misty acorn]

You'd not be the first to

[cedar quest]

Insta winner

[compact saddle]

also the reg contest is not simple at all
fuck my creativity drained

[cedar quest]

I make challenging things, am sorry

I had the Calam one in mind after the Overgrown one, continuing off the text I wrote

[compact saddle]

now have a emotionally challenging time with me absent

[cedar quest]

But I didn't know about the BDay one at the time, so I pushed it back, to now

Fun Fact: There was a last second change to the bonus, I was originally going to make it tied to entries in the other contest, but ended up going against that thought.

[foggy reef]

OMG THIS IS GONNA BE SIIICK

[cedar quest]

What I've heard so far genuinely makes me happy, truth be told....I was really worried about the first impressions on the theme. Thought it might've came of as lazy / wasted potential from me. Guess it was all just self-doubt

[tall moss]

i got a theme idea for the choice comp already

[cedar quest]

Can't wait to see what everyone brings

[median heron]

Anything?

tempted to slap a few sprites in after 15 bagillion years of me not spriting

[cedar quest]

https://tenor.com/view/wait-anything-cat-hat-did-you-say-anything-gif-9678107

That movie is hindsight is cursed af, but I still love it.

[wind topaz]

So all the sprites must be BotW themed

[severe dust]

nice, just means i can make my apocalocke sprites extra apcalypse-y

[teal grove]

Well well well looky here

Two new contests have been announced and the old one hasn't even been concluded yet

Tho idk if im gonna be able to participate, im excited to see all the sprites

[placid pelican]

idk either

[crude cedar]

I know I will

[teal grove]

Ive got a really cool idea for such a fusion, but i have no idea if the perfect mon necessary for it is even in the game

[crude cedar]

what is it

just check in https://aegide.github.io/

[teal grove]

Because ik we can at least make fusions that have already been made in the past, but still

[teal grove]

No not like that

It's the same with my kyurem/lairon. I wanted a mon with ice spikes, but kyurem was the closest i could get to it

[compact saddle]

i may have chosen a theme only i, kiwi or like tenedranox could deal with

[gray igloo]

me theme is green and mean

[dusk schooner]

It's not easy being green and mean

[crude cedar]

Xd

[thorn robin]

dynamax

[compact saddle]

punko what the fuck

[thorn robin]

also i think i found a theme for me

[crude cedar]

what .-.

dynamax?

[thorn robin]

nah

just gonna show the research i made

[dusk schooner]

Exciting

[placid pelican]

maybe my theme could be espeon bodies fused with green pokemon lol

[dusk schooner]

That could be fun

[crude cedar]

Politoed/Espeon
Caterpie/Espeon
Metapod/Espeon

[gray igloo]

that first one looks like a good idea

[crude cedar]

of course you would say that

[gray igloo]

[untold gyro]

so do we need to make at least 5?

for the cash prize contest i mean

[dusk schooner]

I think 5 is the maximum but not too sure about the minimum

[thorn robin]

minimum is 0

[dusk schooner]

The theme of nil

[untold gyro]

i wonder how broad is too broad

[dusk schooner]

Pokemon themed

[wind matrix]

man, I really don't want to read all of this

[dusk schooner]

Then don't

[wind matrix]

XD

[teal grove]

does zombie apocalypse fall under this contest?

[cedar quest]

Byeah

[cedar quest]

Then don't, just flavour text I enjoy writing.

Just look at the last line

[teal grove]

HOHOHOHOHO

[foggy reef]

I’m thinking of changing my theme to “desert” or “outskirts” so I can add some more broader things

Btw @cedar quest is there a sprite limit?

[teal grove]

Both contest say the limit

[thorn robin]

5

for both

[cedar quest]

Yeah, Figured 5 was reasonable. Not too little, but enough to bring out multiple aspects of your theme

((Best part is, it's super hard to get spoiled for this contest, atleast for rn, since literally any sprite in spritework could possibly be part of a theme))

[teal grove]

fucking klinklang theme

if i do that as a gear theme, then perhaps i can still participate in both contests

[compact saddle]

@pastel fog i beg of you to keep playing splt3 during this contest

[pastel fog]

I will I'm so lazy to come up with a theme u can't even imagine

[wind topaz]

I have an idea, I don’t know if I want to make it though

I mean for the normal contest, not the money contest

[teal grove]

for the money contest im just gonna do a gear theme if i participate

[dusk schooner]

I usually don't enter money comps. But I do have an idea so I might this time

[severe helm]

Did the bashful boys thingy ended up being canceled? I saw no polls/gallery/etc.

[dusk schooner]

The birthday entries are presumably still being judged, I would guess

[severe helm]

👍 I thought contests only started when the previous one(s) had already ended

[teal grove]

same

[dusk schooner]

Sponsored comps often run at the same time but yeah, usually the other wouldn't have started yet. I guess the judging thing makes it different

[wind topaz]

Procrastination

[cedar quest]

Yeah, judging go brrrrrrr

[quartz locust]

Does anyone have a list of which Togekiss fusions haven't been done yet? 🙂

I ask for no contest-related reasons.

[misty acorn]

The aegide website should be pretty much up to date since not a lot of togekiss have been made recently

[weary pagoda]

Technically the main chart is good for having a global view, and Aegide's website can check fusions individually 👀

[quartz locust]

Oh yeah, I forgot the teams had their own charts. 😮

[weary pagoda]

Wait they do?

I mean the global chart with all 420 mons

[quartz locust]

They did at one point, I think. 😅

[wind matrix]

wait, money contest? You can win money?

[weary pagoda]

Also you could have a folder with all the base sprites in, and delete them once each fusions for them are done
That's what I do with Jirachi at least, lets me see what is left to make, and how many

[weary pagoda]

Yep

[wind matrix]

Doubt I'll be able to participate since I can't make sprites right now

[dusk schooner]

You've got about a month, if that helps

[wind matrix]

that might ye

[dusk schooner]

5th of october, so about 3 weeks

[wind topaz]

I think that only shows the amount of sprites they have, also Togekiss isn’t on there

[quartz locust]

I'm gonna try and get as many of these done for the contest as possible. 🙂

[teal grove]

actually, i can do the other idea i had for the contest because of #dex-entries-submissions , since now i can make fusions that already exist

[dusk schooner]

You were always allowed to do that, unless the contest specifically stated otherwise

[teal grove]

oh

[dusk schooner]

Making new fusions that don't exist is good too though

[teal grove]

yeah, but i need two very specific pokemon for the idea i have

cuz a self fusion just wouldn't have the same kaiju effect

and im keeping to the apocalyptic contest

no way in hell am i winning with the gear theme lmao

[dusk schooner]

Doing it for fun is always an option

[teal grove]

yeah, you're roght

[long nacelle]

Klink army?

[teal grove]

team klink baby

preppin for the klinklanklontest

[thorn robin]

lmao

klinklanklontest will never come

not if it's up to me

[teal grove]

then the klinks will just have to klang you out

[thorn robin]

lmao

[wind matrix]

I disagree

[teal grove]

hell yes

would you like to join team klink, fellow intellectual?

[wind matrix]

I don't want to join any team XD

[teal grove]

would you like to make a few sprites for team klink, fellow intellectual?

[wind matrix]

I could perhaps 🤔

But I'm only skilled enough for the first form 😅

[teal grove]

that's good enough

in team klink, we make klink body fusions

team klinklang is for the head fusions

i'd be very grateful if you could do any of the two

[wind matrix]

🤔 I thought it was for all of the forms

[teal grove]

well yeah, but

that's not hard to do

it's klinklang, we just add or remove stuff to get its evolution

[wind matrix]

I did have an idea idea for a klink fusion a while ago, but I forgot it XD

[teal grove]

hmm

honedge/klink would be quite helpful

the middle of the gear could be the eye of honedge, the yellow hilt could form around it and the 6 ends of each gears could become small knives

[cedar quest]

Chakram pair Honedge/Klink

[compact saddle]

@silver merlin when?

[silver merlin]

whay

[compact saddle]

result

[silver merlin]

im not done with judging

nor is skeln

and you have some places where you havent finished either

[thorn robin]

lmao

[silver merlin]

nvm lmao

[compact saddle]

no way?

LMAO

[silver merlin]

🚎

[long nacelle]

i wanna join the klink brigade xD

[teal grove]

alrighty

can you make the klink brigade a honedge/klink?

[long nacelle]

i can certainly try!

[teal grove]

hell yeah

[wind topaz]

Klink doesn’t have multiple forms

[teal grove]

klang and klinklang

[umbral sedge]

Klink has 422 different forms in this game

[wind topaz]

Smh, Zero, fusions can be made both ways

[umbral sedge]

fuck

[thorn robin]

844 different forms

[wind topaz]

I think it’s just 840 since you don’t count Klink fusing with itself both ways, so that’s 839 fusions and 1 unfused Klink

[wind topaz]

Also those aren’t forms, those are evolutions

[wind matrix]

close enough

[teal grove]

I think im gonna attempt to enter the special contest after all

I need the money now more than ever

[thorn robin]

everyone

vote husk

or don't

that's why we have voting

now seriously if you keep up the good work you'll have a good change imo

[teal grove]

I think im gonna go with the "eldritch machines" theme and just make a bunch of klinklang body fusions

[tall moss]

i want to enter but i dont wanna win other people deserve the monies more

[thorn robin]

same

[tall moss]

small fusions time

[thorn robin]

that's why i'm doing ok-ish spritres

[tall moss]

anti-kaijus

[thorn robin]

lmao

it was hard doing a griffon without getting too big

[teal grove]

Im not saying i deserve the money, buuut

I definitely need some, this fake energy crisis is fucking my family in the arse sideways

[thorn robin]

we should have another little cup

[teal grove]

I think i should make a klinklang custom

No idea how but

Probably just a rearrangement of its parts

[carmine roost]

wait huh

you get money for these contests

[thorn robin]

that's what a sponsored contest is

[carmine roost]

oooh

I didn't read the whole thang

[wind matrix]

I def need the money since I can't work and I'm in debt xD

[long nacelle]

I'm still having a hard time thinking of my own theme 😅

[tall moss]

blue

snacks

or bars

[long nacelle]

🤣🤣

[umbral sedge]

yeah.. same

[tall moss]

🤨

[umbral sedge]

Need to give the others a chance

[wind matrix]

🤔

[tall moss]

youd dominate the comp

[weary pagoda]

🧐

[placid pelican]

if i entered and somehow won i wouldnt take the money

[weary pagoda]

You should participate anyway: lets you become a spriter, and grants you 150$ you can use for your game

[weary pagoda]

Same, GamR is spending way too much

[placid pelican]

i wonder how many entries the calamity contest thing will get

because everybody will be making stuff for the sponsored one

[umbral sedge]

My strength is pretending to know what I talk about. I am not a good spriter

[crisp cargo]

i unfortunately wouldnt be able to recieve the money, no paypal

[placid pelican]

same lol

[tall moss]

complete newbies have won prizes before

all you need is good help in spritework

[umbral sedge]

But that would also mean a whole day I could spend coding is gone

[weary pagoda]

But then you win all prices with your three banger sprites and can hire more coders

[umbral sedge]

150 bucks will not get me far into hiring coders

[weary pagoda]

Afaik the stuff we did for Amalgam was free, use the money to bribe them

Perfect plan

[umbral sedge]

Fine, you peer pressured me into making a sprite

How much time do I have?

[weary pagoda]

Until 5th of October

[foggy reef]

hey just wondering, since my theme is based around old western movies, I was considering doing a sprite based on native americans and all that (like the whole cowboys and indians thing), Just wanted to make sure, is that offensive? It's not rlly my culture so i'm not quite sure if people would be ok with that

[tall moss]

if you do a little research and dont go for the racist stereotypes its fine

[teal grove]

I can tell you a lot about this subset of native americans called the haudenosaunee people, but you're probably gonna use xatu for a fusion so it's not gonna work out

But the haida people used totem poles, so you could look there

They’re as far west as can be as well

[foggy reef]

I was gonna do armaldo/weavile :)

and make this cool headress

[weary pagoda]

I think it should be fine

[untold gyro]

150 dollars could get me… idk maybe a better computer monitor and a cool looking keyboard and mouse

[weary pagoda]

I don't think that'll be enough

[teal grove]

Im surprised there’s so little contest entries for apocalypse/calamity

Guess everyone is focusing on the money

[long nacelle]

im working on one for the calamity event lmao. maybe more

[teal grove]

Im making 2

[long nacelle]

my inspo for it would be best for using up all 5 slots of my entries but im unsure if i have time to make 7 total sprites xD

[teal grove]

What's your inspiration? Cuz i interpreted the contest just as "ok, so i need to make a mon responsible for an apocalypse or caused by one"

[long nacelle]

yeah same but i was kinda taking inspo from the legend of zelda botw bosses, or the blight ganons.

also had a question about honedge/klink. should if have one eye for each chakram or just one total

[teal grove]

Hmmm

One if the head is honedge, two if the head is doublade

[long nacelle]

okay fair enough

thats kinda what i was thinking

[compact saddle]

@cedar quest not that i will, but is a "custom sprite" theme allowed? lmao

[silver merlin]

as in a custom base?

or as in

"any sprite that is custom"

[compact saddle]

custom base

[silver merlin]

was planning on doing that contest again sometime actually lol

[cedar quest]

Elaborate a lil' bit, like are you just making custom bases, or fusions with custom bases

The former is not, it has to be a fusion

The latter is, simple as that.

[compact saddle]

just custom bases

[cedar quest]

❌

[teal grove]

Wait

If there’s a limit of 5 entries, how do we get 10 sprites in the comp?

[compact saddle]

he means total

from constestants

not just 1 person

[teal grove]

Ohhh

Ok, makes sense

[gray igloo]

Man i came up with cool new theme, splatoon theme but idk if I have the skills for that and IF doesn't have that many squids or octopuses.

[thorn robin]

tentacool, tenacruel and octillery tbh

[gray igloo]

Was thinking stunfisk/gyarados to be the great zap fish.

[thorn robin]

maybe some tangrowth for some more alternative splatooners

[gray igloo]

Maybe, but idk

Guess I am sticking to green and mean

[ruby sage]

honestly i just dont have any good ideas for it....

[cedar quest]

I figured as much, it typically happens when a spons happens, biggest reason on why I waited for after the Bday Contest.

It's better that my own idea gets shafted rather than another managers'

[tall moss]

you could just not run normal contests at the same time as a spons?

[cedar quest]

Not everyone's interested in the money

[long nacelle]

ill be honest im not interested in the money for the spons. its just fun to set your own theme tbh

[cedar quest]

Fair enough lol

I'll put up a poll to see ig

Since I could just....delay it

[teal grove]

Damn, looks like im not gonna cheese the contest

[silver merlin]

I was gonna make one for it too

[teal grove]

[ocean crown]

having a theme helps me create when its open-ended its hard for me to figure out what to do

[long nacelle]

I'm still making it I guess imma just save it for now lol

[wind matrix]

It's a bit confusing having multiple contests going on at the same time

[ocean crown]

i submitted one already and ive got a second one in the final stages for the themed contest

[long nacelle]

Yeah that's true

[ocean crown]

now i can reflect on it a bit longer before submitting

[teal grove]

Ive got my second one almost ready as well, just needs some finishing touches

[long nacelle]

I have a theme for the spons I just have to implement it

[wind matrix]

lol spons

[teal grove]

I need a few more sprites for it

Gotta upload one and make another two

[wind matrix]

spoons

[placid pelican]

the only contests i wanna do are classic contests or ones that give you a selection of pokemon to fuse

[teal grove]

The lairon classic was really fun ngl

Even tho it was my first fusion contest

[long nacelle]

I can't remember which one was my first contest but it's always so fun!

[ocean crown]

seeing how creative everything gets in the end is great

[long nacelle]

Trueee

[silver merlin]

My first one was the Mantine comp lol

in 2020

[ocean crown]

my first was the one from a couple weeks ago 🤣

[long nacelle]

I did my first one around this time last year. I remember my submission. It was a luxray/infernape.😅

[placid pelican]

the bday thing was the first contest ive entered despite seeing millions of others happen

i was just never motivated to enter them until now

[long nacelle]

I remember which one it was not. It was End of Era pt3 bigang's "favourites"

That's fair lol

[teal grove]

Speaking if the bday contest, we still dont know the results

[placid pelican]

results will probably come in in like 1-2 days

if not then thats ok

[teal grove]

Id mainly like to know the criticism on my flygon, since im making another magcargo fusion and id like to know what could be better

Tho im sure your eevee chandelure is gonna get a great score

[placid pelican]

possibly

[wind topaz]

Me still waiting for the birthday contest results:

[placid pelican]

the results will come soon

probably

[teal grove]

[teal grove]

question

who here actually pays for the rewards of the special contests

because they seem like they cost a load of money

[compact saddle]

gamr

[teal grove]

rich man

[cedar quest]

It usually takes me a couple months to budget for one, while still making sure I'm in the clear for my own life

[teal grove]

Yeah i thought as much

[balmy radish]

quick question and sorry if its a bit of an unneccesary one but i havent checked the server too much lately

so the ''calamity'' contest, that on has been paused and will start again later right?
cuz i love apocalypses so i wanna enter if it still has to happen and ya now hasnt already happened

again sorry if this is a bit of a silly question, just wanna be sure cuz again i love apocalypses

[misty acorn]

Yeah, its just on pause until the other contest is done

[cedar quest]

It will be started again

[cedar quest]

Also don't feel sorry, it's a logical question to ask

[crude cedar]

@teal grove someone made a copy of your work

[compact saddle]

💀claws moment

[dusk schooner]

They look completely different, don't throw around accusations like that

[placid pelican]

i guess they didnt know magcargo/reuniclus got claimed already

[crude cedar]

yea

its an alt IG

[rain stump]

💀

[balmy radish]

Thank you

[balmy radish]

Thank you

[teal grove]

Hey, dont you dare call this plagiarism

It's a completely different take on the fusion and a great one at that

[crude cedar]

ok lord klink

[placid pelican]

speaking of klink i should make some klink bodies to support the army

[wind matrix]

Is Moon on team klink now?

[placid pelican]

im on team everything

[wind matrix]

lol nice

[teal grove]

[ocean crown]

i didnt realize it was claimed at first but after i submitted it (for a seperate competition btw) husk and i talked about how interesting it was that we went in dif directions with the same start

[placid pelican]

oh lol

[ocean crown]

i believe husks was for the bday comp and mine was for the calamity comp

[teal grove]

Correct

[wind matrix]

Soulda made it in time for the birthday compitition

[placid pelican]

oh so they arent both in the bday comp?

[ocean crown]

nope 😄

[placid pelican]

lo

[wind matrix]

I wanna see them fight to the death :p

[ocean crown]

lol

[teal grove]

They will if jaters uploads his to the gallery

[ocean crown]

TRUE

[teal grove]

Thanks to #dex-entries-submissions

[wind matrix]

you're right!

[ocean crown]

i should wait for advice after the competition to submit a sprite right?

[teal grove]

Nah, i put mine in the gallery before the comp ends usually

[wind matrix]

Up to you

[ocean crown]

bday was my first comp so i wasnt sure

[wind matrix]

I'm waiting to put up mine because I think it can still be worked on 😅

[ocean crown]

there is always room to improve you just gotta be careful that you dont "improve" it too much and go overboard XD

[wind matrix]

lol true

The contest submission time was a bit close to my surgery date, so I feel I wasn't able to focus on it very well. I wanna wait until I recover before I look at all of my sprites I've been working on

[cedar quest]

I should also clear up a scenario like this to those new around here:

Usually, if the fusion did not exist before the contest, but it gets made twice, both are still valid.
Both are still valid for this contest {y'know assuming it's not plagiarized, I doubt it, but I haven't looked at the drive myself}, but I allowed pre-existing fusions for this contest, so me saying this literally don't matter atm.

[past adder]

'sides there's been plenty of contests with scope so limited that multiple people had a go at the same fusion. Triple fusion contests for example

[cedar quest]

bingo

[ocean crown]

If I made a sprite and submitted it to the gallery previously then a competition comes up that I feel fits that sprite am I allowed to use it as an entry?

[cedar quest]

Nope, gotta be completely new

[ocean crown]

Got it

[teal grove]

When contest results

[placid pelican]

It was cancelled because the eevee/rayquaza was totally too good and unfair to everyone else

[silver merlin]

when today

we all done

just waiting until 5pm bst

[teal grove]

[placid pelican]

oooo

[teal grove]

26 entries in the sponsored contest so far

ik there's more coming so there's gonna be at least 30, which is kinda nuts

[teal grove]

2 hours left bby

[long nacelle]

I've got 4 outta my 5 done 👀 I'm just waiting till they are all done

[dusk schooner]

Nice work

[cedar quest]

Thanks for counting

[teal grove]

my pleasure

im not winning any money anyway so i might as well help out otherwise

[warm vessel]

Okkkk

👍🏻🤣

Lol

I dead

Bye

👀

[compact saddle]

wtf

[teal grove]

spam im guessing, they did the exact same before

[warm vessel]

Oh sorry is not the server

[teal grove]

and they're french

44 minutes until the results of the judged contest are made public

[compact saddle]

dont count, that creates pressure

[teal grove]

43

[compact saddle]

dies

[teal grove]

ah shit, i probably wont be around to see the results get revealed

[teal grove]

nvm

[silver merlin]

uhh

might be delayed

for like 10 min

[teal grove]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[teal grove]

[tiny trellis]

woohoo

[scarlet gust]

scrapi was robbed

[tall moss]

[dusk schooner]

Congrats gamers

[compact saddle]

congrats everyone we judged

[tall moss]

new server pfp looks great

[tiny trellis]

the rayquaza buddies

[tall moss]

🐉

[compact saddle]

these were my favorites
@tall siren @placid pelican you get nothing from me but i liked them

[wind matrix]

Contest results hype! \o/

[compact saddle]

im glad people liked the contest

[silver merlin]

now to never do one again

[wind matrix]

LOL

[compact saddle]

i thought most would go hey scrapi is objectively nothing why is he there-

[wind matrix]

Excuse me but Scrapi is great

[compact saddle]

[tall siren]

Wow! Thank you, I’ve never won anything in my life lol

[tall siren]

@silver merlin just curious what does “so true Katten” mean?

[thick atlas]

congrats to the winners!

[teal grove]

A tied first place! Wow

[silver merlin]

that was just me typing whatever

it means i agree with the others

[misty acorn]

Congratz to the winners

Absolutely love the eevee/chandelure

[teal grove]

I got decimated by the criticism on my magcariclus sprite

[tall siren]

Haha okay gotcha

[teal grove]

Mfw physics ruined my score

[wind matrix]

I told you dog, I warned you bro

Now I know what needs to be fixed on my sprite

[teal grove]

[wind topaz]

So sad Eevee/Rayquaza didn’t win

[compact saddle]

my best sprite yet

[native vapor]

Fun comp! It's nice to get the feedback as well. Thanks y'all xo

[foggy reef]

ohhh my god I did absolutely shit in that comp

fuck

[cedar quest]

No u didn't

[foggy reef]

bruh my highest scoring sprite was 20th

that's pretty bad lol

[placid pelican]

Congrats to the winners!!

I wasn’t expecting to get to 2nd place ngl lol

[placid pelican]

Your smeargle/magnezone is still my favourite sprite in the whole comp ❤️

[placid pelican]

Thank

[compact saddle]

FINALLY i made all my 5 entries to the spons

[misty acorn]

I gotta make some more entries

[wind matrix]

I have doubt I'll make any even with the long time 😅

Contests are stressful

[compact saddle]

i'm in it to win it

[wind matrix]

good luck

[compact saddle]

i'll sure need it

[long nacelle]

I honestly just hope my theme makes people laugh

[thick atlas]

not if you count the quality of your sprites. contests can be a bummer esp the judged ones

[teal grove]

Goose you buffoon, the sprites arent properly ordered

Only the the winners are put in correct order, the rest isn’t

[foggy reef]

ohhhhh

oh mb my highest scoring sprite was 18th

anywho, really fun contest, everyone made banger sprites

[teal grove]

8th overall, most spots are shared between fusions so idk how many spots there are total

No wait

6th

And there are 15 places total including scrapi's thing

So you did pretty good

Dont beat yourself up

[wind matrix]

My only one placed 24, and I still think I did pretty good

[dusk schooner]

Looking through the entries and they're all pretty cool

[placid pelican]

Fr

[wind matrix]

It was a steep competition

[crude cedar]

wait crap is the sponsored finished?

[teal grove]

no not yet

[crude cedar]

YES!

[teal grove]

the judged contest' results are just in

[crude cedar]

yeah

[ocean crown]

we still have quite some time for the sponsored

i think its like til the 5th

[teal grove]

oh dang you're right

[dusk schooner]

Roughly 2 weeks

[ocean crown]

ive only really got one more sprite to work on for it so imma have a lot of time to reflect

[teal grove]

36 entries so far, hot dang

and there's more coming, so we might reach 50 entries

[teal grove]

38 now i think @cedar quest

39 actually hot dang

[dawn ivy]

are you literally gonna post everytime one gets added or what lmao

[wind matrix]

Do it

[teal grove]

hey, im helping out

and i have a good memory

[teal grove]

41 total now, wow

[gray igloo]

Wowo

[placid pelican]

oh god

hyper pog

[teal grove]

once xillo uploads the one he just made (and have a total of 4 entries) we'll be at 49

[dusk schooner]

[teal grove]

we at 49 now

gamr gonna be spending 200 dollars on this shit

[dawn ivy]

should work up to 69

[weary pagoda]

That'd be, well, nice

[cedar quest]

I'm already at 200+, someone forgor about the podium

[teal grove]

Oh right, i completely overlooked the non-bonus choices

[misty acorn]

I have an idea for an entry but I don't know if I can make it happen in a way that makes sense 👀

[misty acorn]

Okay, gotta give up xD

My idea was Pawniard/Exeggcute, where there would be 6 egg dudes standing in a line like pawns at the beginning of a chess game

[compact saddle]

tomate, are you up for a non if request

[misty acorn]

Not really, but maaaybe if I like it

[compact saddle]

pawniard falinks

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/tomato-rage-anger-angry-stop-gif-11528134

no idea what that says

[mild furnace]

it says mo basta pero

[dusk schooner]

Mò basta però

[silver merlin]

(this dumass just forgor garbodor isnt in this game

[terse acorn]

Aren't we allowed to use non IF pokemons as well for the contest tho?

[dusk schooner]

I suppose it's not a hard rule but there is the recommendation that you do for this one

[silver merlin]

[teal grove]

You're gonna win anyway lol

[gray igloo]

Rule 7

[silver merlin]

ill add this one anyways lol

i like where its going

[dusk schooner]

That's fair. I mean I don't exactly see the problem if a couple entries here and there are non-if ones

[crude cedar]

It is a Porygonz and Clefairy cause of the clefairy pokedoll in it

[silver merlin]

im making that a rotom doll

[terse acorn]

Ah alr, thanks

[quiet pivot]

Nah it's clearly Magikarp Clefairy you can see the magikarp skeleton in there

[ocean crown]

Should i have the contest participant role since i entered into the bday contest?

[dusk schooner]

That's a role that you can choose to have in #roles

It'd be the one

[ocean crown]

ah, thanks for the info

[dusk schooner]

No problem

[rain stump]

garble gork

[gray igloo]

I wish i could add more, but i have already reached 5

[cedar quest]

You can sub out for your entries if you find you can make something ""better"" for your theme ((Better as in you yourself think it better, I'm not sharing any thoughts on sprites, not till the end of the Contest))

[quartz locust]

I'm late to the party, but congratulations to @tall siren and @native vapor for two fantastic winning fusions! You both did exceptionally well. 😄

[quartz locust]

I'm struggling to come up with ways to make visually impressive Togekiss fusions... 😅

[long nacelle]

I'm sure you can figure it out!

[quartz locust]

Thanks, I'm struggling though. All the submissions I've seen so far are really good, so I have to up my game... a lot. 😂

[tall siren]

Thank you

[teal grove]

togekiss head or body fusions?

[quartz locust]

Head.

[teal grove]

togekiss/haunter could look neat

and if not that, togekiss/klinklang is always a possibility

[teal grove]

now i see why i couldn't find it

it's misspelled in the gallery

[misty acorn]

Oh wow, and I misspelled it correctly on my first try xD

[teal grove]

it doesn't help that klinklang is misspelled in the sprite charts

[misty acorn]

moment

[tall moss]

[tall moss]

you startin team togekiss again?

[normal dock]

I remember when there was only 3 teams, and then it grew

[quartz locust]

For this contest, then I'm back to being on a break. 😄

[teal grove]

We're at 59 entries holy shit

[crude cedar]

ain't no way any of my pokemon go top 10 pokemon

[compact saddle]

rule 7

[wanton brook]

Oof, man got rule 7'd

[cedar quest]

Rule 7 indeed.

[crude cedar]

I think I should be allowed to talk about my own pokemon but I guess not ( sorry for rule breaking )

[tall moss]

then i should be able to talk about my own sprites too; my entries are the best, everyone should vote for me

[placid pelican]

Everyone should vote for the sprite that’s fused with 2 pokemon tbh that ones definitely gonna win

[mild furnace]

Nah nah nah what about the fusions with 2 pocket monsters involved???

those are most certainly going to win

[valid crane]

I think the sprite where its like a sprite will win

[compact saddle]

i think the sprite that like, has pixels, will win

[cedar quest]

I think the sprite that entered will likely win

[crude cedar]

That is worse than what I said because its telling people what to do. my message was mine is going to lose aka I don't care if people vote for mine or not

I'm saying its unlikely out of the 59 entries it is a very low chance that my sprites will be top 10

but anyway

I think the sprite that is pixelated will win

[cedar quest]

That's still under Rule 7, as that still influences voting, be it your favor or not.

[wanton brook]

Oof Rule 7'd again

[carmine roost]

I think a pokemon fusion will win

[gray igloo]

Win

[teal grove]

I think will win

[silver merlin]

i think the one that got submitted will win

[compact saddle]

i think the one that gamr likes will win 👁️

[gray igloo]

I don't think

[misty acorn]

1984

[mild furnace]

So-called "Free Thinkers" when Rule 7

https://tenor.com/view/free-thinkers-gif-21500382

[dawn ivy]

I think spriters make good sprites

[severe dust]

🔨

[crude cedar]

not true

I don't

[long nacelle]

I also do not 🤣

[teal grove]

63 entries holy hell

[weary pagoda]

And we still got a lot of time left (which is nice because I definitely gotta enter one day)

[thorn robin]

I have to do some more as well

[vital stirrup]

me too

[cedar quest]

Indeed youve all got a week left

[wanton brook]

That's threatening without context

[dusk schooner]

You have a week until The End™️

[cedar quest]

You have a week to decide, you have a week to make that important choice, you get the choice to flesh it out to it's extremes.

Make

It

Count

[quartz locust]

I plan on submitting 12 sprites, we'll hit 75 from that alone. 😉

[misty acorn]

Blaq when he finds out about the 5 entries limit:

[quartz locust]

5 entries limit? 😮

https://tenor.com/view/skeletor-excellent-excellent-gif-26134922

[cedar quest]

You want those rewards so bad? Band together as a community, just because you may be entering to win doesn't mean you gotta be all secrety. Bounce off of each others feedback, improve together. Make sure your concept/theme is fulfilling and well executed from that feedback

I'll be waiting

[compact saddle]

imagine getting feedback

[dusk schooner]

BOOO!

[compact saddle]

i am a grown man, i will not fear this (my pants are heavy)

[crude cedar]

Just asking how do you make sure that people aren’t voting for their own sprites? Is there like a bot command or something

[dusk schooner]

Nope. You're allowed to do that

[crude cedar]

Damn

I thought it was like cheating

[dusk schooner]

Nope. It'd be nice if people voted for other people's stuff but it's not enforcable, would be kind of restricting telling people what they can and can't vote for

[crude cedar]

Yeah okay

I don’t vote for my own anyway lol

[misty acorn]

Politicians are allowed to vote for themselfs in elections too

[crude cedar]

that makes total sense

[weary pagoda]

(They all do it)

[teal grove]

64

[crude cedar]

Holy shit

5/64 chance of winning now guys lol

[silver merlin]

i should add my entries before i forget lmao

[placid pelican]

I’m just waiting for a more relaxed contest because this one is way too big for me lo

[crude cedar]

if you want relaxing contest do the non-sponsored ones

lol

[teal grove]

That is exactly what they’re planning to do, good job claws

[placid pelican]

i have no idea what to make for the apocalypse contest coming up because what is even considered apocalyptic ewailabciu

do i just make things revolving around death or something

or just something edgy

[crude cedar]

Radioactive or Natural Disasters

the plague

war?

idk

[placid pelican]

so stuff revolving around death

[crude cedar]

yeah

but also over exaggerated nature

like Raging oceans and the Howling Winds

[placid pelican]

mmmmmm

[cedar quest]

Pretty much

[teal grove]

Big volcanoes

[teal grove]

65

[quartz locust]

You could go for a Mad Max sort of vibe using something like Aggron head and having its armour integrated into the body Pokémon. 🙂

[placid pelican]
