event-general

[cedar quest]

Am finishing judging for MM first

[fallen light]

i totally see what you mean, its a really good sprite tho

[signal nexus]

i think someone did make a #discord-suggestions a while back. dunno where it is though 🤔

[fallen light]

thank you

[cedar quest]

There was, can grab the post

[signal nexus]

he's so flat!
he's flat boy!!
squishy squishy flat boy!

[cedar quest]

But basically it's easier or me to do it this way, as I can easily copypaste the poll command and slightly tweak as needed.

[fallen light]

i had a lot of luv's like that tbf

i cant help but wonder if i shouldve picked different entries

no use worrying about it now ig

[signal nexus]

just - the restraint at having larvitar's belly scales only at the narrow strip

[cedar quest]

Rather than typing it all out myself, there's the screenies from the post - [and the full post itself](#1324595513848365149 message)

[fallen light]

it was definitely restraint, and definitely not me randomly attaching larvitar pieces onto luvdisc

[cedar quest]

If any questions, please ask. This ain't the first time it's been brought up, so there's somewhere I can improve probably

Like this is a command I use to make the polls

//timepoll time:86400s question:Luvdisc Prelims - Heads type:Anonymous (Select Menu) maxchoices:1 answer-1:A1 answer-2:A2 answer-3:A3 answer-4:B1 answer-5:B2 answer-6:B3 answer-7:C1 answer-8:C2

Without the second slash obvi

[signal nexus]

soooo

/timepoll time:86400s question:Luvdisc Prelims - Heads type:Anonymous (Select Menu) maxchoices:1 answer-1:A1 answer-2:A2 answer-3:A3 answer-4:B1 answer-5:B2 answer-6:B3 answer-7:C1 answer-8:C2

or
/timepoll time:86400s question:Luvdisc Prelims - Heads type:Anonymous (Select Menu) maxchoices:1 answer-1:A1 answer-2:A2 answer-3:A3 answer-4:B1 answer-5:B2 answer-6:B3 answer-7:C1 answer-8:C2

[cedar quest]

Oh yeah that exists

/timepoll time:86400s question:Luvdisc Prelims - Heads type:Anonymous (Select Menu) maxchoices:1 answer-1:A1 answer-2:A2 answer-3:A3 answer-4:B1 answer-5:B2 answer-6:B3 answer-7:C1 answer-8:C2

[fallen light]

oof, that is not a fun command to retype

[cedar quest]

Yeah, I like to do one command, and put it on copypaste so I can edit as needed

Like that first sheet that has 9 is the one I started with

[signal nexus]

don't forget you can cancel a special character with \ too
so
restraint
vs
*restraint*

[cedar quest]

So the command first started as

/timepoll time:86400s question:Luvdisc Prelims - Heads type:Anonymous (Select Menu) maxchoices:1 answer-1:A1 answer-2:A2 answer-3:A3 answer-4:B1 answer-5:B2 answer-6:B3 answer-7:C1 answer-8:C2 answer-9:C3

[signal nexus]

assuming the 🤯 isn't sarcastic, aheh

[cedar quest]

The rest of the head sheets had 8 each, so I just deleted the `answer-9: C3, recopied and continued from there

From there, it led into bodies, so I changed the Heads to bodies, where 1 sheet had 8, and the rest 7

So it's just all similar small changes to a big command

Now if I had to type the name of each fusion, it would be a nightmare

Sure it wouldn't be that bad in this case since like... it's either Luvdisc/ or /Luvdisc and it'd just be changing the initial name, but

That still would take ages for each sprite, and especially for contests where it's all not just the same mon

[pulsar musk]

you'd need to use the file names from the drive and export it them to excel

you could easily have a formula to convert 1.3 into Bulbasaur/Venusaur and to get rid of the artist name

[fallen light]

you could try and get a script to build the command for you

[pulsar musk]

I'm not discordpilled enough to know of a non-excel way to do it

[fallen light]

i reckon that a simple python script or similar could work with generating the command list

[pulsar musk]

Given that you probably want a grid format either way it's arguably not worth bothering with

[fallen light]

it would still be annoying, but maybe more managable than typing everything by hand

[pulsar musk]

Colours would be better but colourblindness exists

[cyan gull]

You have to also consider that although doable, it is extra effort for a non-paid thing

[fallen light]

oh yeah 100%

[pulsar musk]

Well it's do work now to save time later

[signal nexus]

if the script is set up, it could make it easier in the long run

[pulsar musk]

I'm not invested idc

just saying that's what I'd do

[cyan gull]

At the end of the day, I'd say the effort put in to "fix" it is much greater than what it takes to just read the coordinates

[fallen light]

im happy to try and write it if people want it lol

but yea, i do agree with just making people read the co-ords

[cyan gull]

It's a non-issue imo

[limpid sphinx]

i think its p easy to read the coordinates lol

[pulsar musk]

if you're used to it yeah

I'm not exactly stupid and it was a lot of scrolling up and down to work out which corresponded to which when reading results

[cyan gull]

It's got the same complexity as a sudoku board

It's non-repeating columns vs. rows

[pulsar musk]

oh nvm

[cyan gull]

And if you ignore the coordinates all together, the order of it reads as if you're reading a book

[dense jackal]

tbh i almost see more issues arising from using the names. Coordinates are factual and precise. But a person could much easier pick the wrong one if there's "arcanine/staryu" "arcanine/starmie" as options (either from mixing up the visuals, or not reading properly)

[pulsar musk]

just make it 1-9 lol

problem solved

[cyan gull]

Where are you placing the identifiers for each sprite? The reason we use coordinates is to simplify it

[limpid sphinx]

when reading results is not that hard if u know the alphabet

[cyan gull]

Be nice

[pulsar musk]

you'd have to import them into an existing template w/e not worth

[limpid sphinx]

it sounded rude?

[pulsar musk]

they're not being rude

[cyan gull]

Yes

[pulsar musk]

it's an alternate suggestion

[limpid sphinx]

sorry then! i really tried to mean that some ppl really dont know the alphabet

but if u know is just doing like that really like "counting" the alphabet yk

[cyan gull]

It's not, it's directly criticizing your interpretation skills

[fallen light]

i think its a text not conveying tone very well thing tbh

[limpid sphinx]

not really

but pory dont likes me

so its fine

[fallen light]

at least partially

[pulsar musk]

it definitely isn't lol

[fallen light]

thats how i read it too lol

[cyan gull]

You know me, hater of all, destroyer of dreams

[limpid sphinx]

yeah it wasnt supposed to be rude

[signal nexus]

idk, if it's like this, why not make the grid like that?
avoid the whole A1, A2, A3 thing altogether?

[limpid sphinx]

just really tried to show how i du it

[pulsar musk]

I don't care at this point honestly

[cyan gull]

[limpid sphinx]

to vote u need the coordinates ig

[pulsar musk]

if I was doing it it'd look different

but w/e works

[cyan gull]

I know what you mean, and it actually gives me an idea

[limpid sphinx]

idk, it works for some, but dont works for the other half, maybe it could be reworked

[dense jackal]

well if you write a chart with D4 as the maximum, that's 4 rows, 4 columns - that's 8 labels to write. Label each thing indiviually and you're going for 16 labels, and you need space for them all between the sprites too

[pulsar musk]

it's only a spriter vote anyway

[limpid sphinx]

probably not soon but at least the managers have a feedback about it rn

[cyan gull]

I'll probably forget it before I get to it, so

[pulsar musk]

if it was a general server vote it wouldn't be fit for purpose

[limpid sphinx]

make notes

[pulsar musk]

spriters can be trusted to read

[limpid sphinx]

works for me XD

[cyan gull]

It's worked just fine in the past

[signal nexus]

ah, so the chart-making process
vs this

[limpid sphinx]

@cloud solstice is a proof that this is not 100% true lolol ~she cant read

[dense jackal]

exactly either you need harder to read labels, or much bigger gaps between sprites

[cyan gull]

A solution would be making a tool that just makes a grid and places an identifier on it

[pulsar musk]

I can guarantee you 10% of the votes were miscast

[cyan gull]

But

[cyan gull]

I can't guarantee you they were not, since I don't have that info, and working off of assumptions is faulty at best

[limpid sphinx]

what about a chart 👁️

[cedar quest]

jeez

not what I expected to come back to

[fallen light]

its chaos in here

[pulsar musk]

damn critiquing charts is way easier than critiquing sprites

I feel so smart

[fallen light]

i would just say that if any changes were made its likely that in a month or two there would be a different convo about why that doesnt work either, so there's not a lot of need to change it

[signal nexus]

well we're not allowed to critique sprites
at least not the ones in the running

[pulsar musk]

I finished my MM judging

[limpid sphinx]

btw, u guys not using the half transparent bg anymore?

for the polls

[cyan gull]

the tool we use doesn't add one, when I host I just post-process

[tulip tusk]

aw man i thought that probopass would get more votes, it had such a good pose

[limpid sphinx]

one of my fav's too ngl

[pulsar musk]

nvm

[limpid sphinx]

i was really not doing that but ok

i really regret from everytime that i try to talk in this server xd but well

that could works on polls too?

the letter be too tiny right

yea im out of ideas to improve that situation lol

[pulsar musk]

I didn't take offence buddy don't worry

[cyan gull]

yeah, I'd just have to rewrite the tool we use but it shouldn't be impossible

I just don't think it's an issue personally, but once I have free time to allocate towards this (if I remember) I'll do it

[limpid sphinx]

oh bigger is fine

[limpid sphinx]

i dont see it as an issue too but if that much ppl agree that is hard to read it so... maybe it is?

idk

well if it can be improved...

[cyan gull]

[limpid sphinx]

try to take notes of the suggestion and take the needed time to work on it

[cyan gull]

I need free time and I need to tackle other things first

[limpid sphinx]

no need to rush we can wait, its not every contest that r community polls too so i think its gonna take some time for the next one right x)

[limpid sphinx]

i believe the proccess 😎

[glass reef]

so i fear i only got 5 votes out of all of my sprites

and 2 of them were myself

yknow what they say… do better fanta

[long basin]

Could be worse

[signal nexus]

🤝 losers' club!

[glass reef]

i bet the only people who voted for my sprite were the people who saw my sprite beforehand and was like “oh yeah. i said i’d vote for this one i guess ”

[glass reef]

but it could also be better

[long basin]

Mayhaps

[sly shuttle]

Keep hyping up your sprites like they’re still in it to win it

[glass reef]

YEAH GUYS BOTH CROCODILES MADE IT PAST THE FIRST ROUND

WE GOT THIS

TEAM CROCS FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

[sly shuttle]

||With enough charisma, you might trick Gordo into putting them back on the polls ||

[cedar quest]

||Not gonna happen ||

Ok am finally done judging

Trust me I didn't forget about finals ;)

In fact, @tall moss if I give you the stuff you wanna do it?

[glass reef]

[cedar quest]

I'll take that as no

Time to post

[signal nexus]

spoopy

[cedar quest]

Luvdisc will return tomorrow.

[broken robin]

end of an era

[signal nexus]

if i could react i could be very funny and post a

[cedar quest]

[sly shuttle]

I’ve discovered a pixel of pop-out on one of the finalist sprites

[glass reef]

WHICH ONE

BAN IT

DISQUALIFY IT

NOW

[cedar quest]

nah don't say.

[glass reef]

say? @ say_4732

whoops i found the pop out too

[sly shuttle]

@tall moss Do you remember which sprites won Kiwi’s Little Cup and Kiwi’s Little Cup 2?

[cedar quest]

LC1

[errant yarrow]

#contest-gallery message

#contest-gallery message

[cedar quest]

Mael moved 'em over a while ago?

[sly shuttle]

I don’t know why that didn’t show up when I tried to search

[errant yarrow]

I just scrolled because I thought that I remembered them haha

[sly shuttle]

I wonder if one of the post-Sableye mons will takeover Little Cup 4

[errant yarrow]

lotad has potential to do that

[signal nexus]

L(otad)C

[cedar quest]

L(ast)C

Never again until next time

[sly shuttle]

Just push it onto the next lead event organizer

[broken robin]

Unless the name LC itself is cursed just putting sprite limits on would fix it lol

[signal nexus]

Last Cup Standing

[tall moss]

scrapi and milchik too strong

I havent looked at the LC3 polls or sprites at all btw wanted to keep the surprise

[uncut shadow]

It's crazy that LC3 will reach its 2 year anniversary in April, and its only just now getting finished 😂

[slender thunder]

tbf when they were made popout wasn't even a thing if you mean LC

[slender thunder]

I swear I was replying to this message when typing that

[cloud solstice]

Soooo...
Will there be another LC after this one?

[minor garnet]

Middle cup

[mystic mauve]

add sinistea so we can have the cup cup

[wind lynx]

I just realized, results are out, and my sprite came in 4th, does it mean it's out???

It was by so little... It's a shame but whatever...

[white wagon]

For now we can do cub cup, it wouldn't be far off little cup

[mystic mauve]

if only we had cubchoo

[heady escarp]

memory corner is a month long event.. right?

and 2 entries per person?

[lime belfry]

yes and yes, #event-general message

you've got till the nd of the month to work on your sprite(s) then i take a day for collections and we get past April Fools, then judging begins and last for another week

[heady escarp]

Understood. I am basically finished with that one.. i might jump to the next

[whole arrow]

It's judging time

[whole arrow]

This is the layout for the Reviews that i'll be making and sending to you each individually

There will be marks to signify where and what kind of edits I would apply on the review side, and above that i'll pick a spot on the sprite to highlight that I think would help you the most to think about! c:

Alright I've got 3 done, theyre very intensive reviews and I'm doing full edits to each one as if we were collabing them. I will make sure to differentiate opinion from objective truths. c:

jokemon event
most detailed judging ever
bro is in his joker arc

(very curious to see it though)

[cedar quest]

finally

the bracket is finished.

https://challonge.com/KwLC3

[limpid sphinx]

and yes, honedge meta is real on LC

XD

[cedar quest]

A total of 770 polls, not including the Prelims where Sprites were chosen for the bracket, which does NOT count the preliminaries done before the bracket begun, in which case, it'd be a total of...

1012 polls

[limpid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/3000years-its-been-a-long-time-gif-13250168

[urban siren]

the longest contest ever

[whole arrow]

My next event idea: The Longest Contest Ever

All about long pokemon

Furret/Rayquaza/Arbok/Dragonair etc

[signal nexus]

quadruple fusion?

[cedar quest]

Unironically a banger idea.

Will note it down, might do that eventually.

Also fuck

Today was supposed to be the start of the next series

And I forgot

And also Luvdisc Quarters, but that's fine

[whole arrow]

I've decided that Jokemon Event will run on the 15th at 7am to the end of the month at 9pm from now on. Since I'm the only judge and I'm doing extremely thorough edits. gives me times to get things judged and time to rest from it.

[broken robin]

one issue tho is that by that point theres like, no way you could reasonably implement those changes before the gallery I guess its good to take feedback moving forward with other sprites...?

[signal nexus]

sperrors

[whole arrow]

To be fair, you may not agree with all of, or any of the changes

[spring hemlock]

widecloud going hard with emotes i see

[spring hemlock]

its okay gamr just release it tomorrow (figuratively, tomorrow will never come)

[gusty frost]

we should make an olyimpics game

countries need to have at least three members

-first sport: fusion spriting - a theme-less competition with that the country can submit at 3 sprites
-second sport: cloth spriting - make a character cloth cultural to your country 1 submit
-third sport: speed sprite - exactly like the last one we had 3 submits per country

[white wagon]

Well, we have at least 3 poles in the community not sure if it goes against doxxing, as it's kiiiinda sharing location and I think I read somewhere that's not really encouraged

[gusty frost]

i dont think it would go as doxxing, which country is soo small that this matters? vatican?

[wind lynx]

I don't think I would be able to find two other active Italians lmao
I mean, I remember seeing two Italians, like, a bunch of time ago, but never since

Also what do you mean cloth spriting? Like, the game outfits or...?

[gusty frost]

yeah

[stone solar]

muhahaha, now i can individually visit all 58.99 million people in italy until i track you down for no reason

[signal nexus]

i thought you meant spriters choose regions to be representatives of, not irl countries 🤔

suppose you could determine region by proportionality 'mons belonging to that region sprited, but...

[gusty frost]

i mean people can lie if they want

nobody can track it anyway

[wind lynx]

Guys, I'm from Japan for real for real

[stone solar]

Go team Australia!!!🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺

[gusty frost]

im from vatican btw, im actually the next pope

[signal nexus]

Pope Verdan

[stone solar]

can i go next then

[gusty frost]

they said the next pope named pedro will be the last

[minor garnet]

I am the secret vice president of the US

[stone solar]

can i go next then

[minor garnet]

No

I reincarnate infinitly

[wind lynx]

Man, you gotta work better then 💀 💀 💀

[gusty frost]

ok better idea, instead of real world we divide ourself on teams based on pokemon regions

[signal nexus]

Shadow Government
can't hop in unless, like, everyone else dies or smth

[gusty frost]

but act like we are from there

[wind lynx]

Tbh, I would have loved to represent italy, but I see why this is a better idea

[gusty frost]

i like country stuff more but this is safer

[stone solar]

aw i wanna do australia though

[signal nexus]

you hail from the region that you proportionally have made the most sprites from
(someone will probably have to make a calculator for this)

[stone solar]

no-one's gonna track you down out of 26 million people

if they could then they could do it without already knowing your country

[gusty frost]

oh no mother i dont want to go to kanto nooo
large seaking grab me by the leg

[wind lynx]

No Italy inspired region I fear

One day

[gusty frost]

mew is canonically brasilian so we have at least 1 mon

[wind lynx]

Those France people had it too good for too long

[signal nexus]

if you do irl countries, a spriter can choose a different country to rep as long as they put a fake moustache on their pfp

[gusty frost]

we could do a cultural themed event, it dont need to be a team based olympics

it wouldnt be my first brazilian sprite

nor the second

[pulsar musk]

again I think the numerous people accidentally sharing their full name email addresses in drive submissions are a bigger concern than knowing countries

[fallen light]

too true

there are so many countries that would make for cool regions, and they choose western Europe and Japan

although it is funny that for Galar, they just flipped England upside down and call it there

[gusty frost]

i think the next one will be china for gen 10

to be fair they just started to make based on countries in gen 5- 6

[fallen light]

I think some kind of Australian or Indian region could be really cool

[fallen light]

yeah, 4 different Japan inspired regions and then they hard pivoted to New York

or a Baltic inspired region, that could be sick

[gusty frost]

gen 5 - new york
gen 6 - france
gen 7- hawaii
gen 8- britain
gen 9 - iberic penisula

americans got it 2 times i curse you USA

[pulsar musk]

I mean the us, japan and europe are going to be inherently more interesting because they have a variety of climates

I haven't played any of those gens apart from the first quarter of gen 7

[gusty frost]

thats almost every country that its not small

[pulsar musk]

but I really liked the japanese regions

[fallen light]

they didn’t include wales into galar

England is the main area, scotland is (kinda) the crown tundra and the Island of Ireland is the isle of armour, but no wales

we could’ve had a Welsh dragon Pokémon

[pulsar musk]

there's an irish location?

nice

[fallen light]

eh, kinda?

it’s meant to be the equivalent of it

[pulsar musk]

I mean idk how hard they go on the theming

[fallen light]

but idk that there’s a lot of Irish things included

[pulsar musk]

gen 7 was pretty blatant but it was also shit so idk

[gusty frost]

game freak hates brasil, they anounce spanish tranlation while showing a brasil event on the background
and cancelled the activity on national territory some years ago

i saw a video saying that the gen 10 region will be china based

i wonder what would be the starters

[stone solar]

no do australia with a regional komala as a drop bear

[gusty frost]

i want a blue heler pokemon

[fallen light]

I think that they should do a legends game where they create a new region, and it should be either Greek or Italian

[gusty frost]

if we gonna do australia

[fallen light]

or you could do a legends game with the Roman occupation of England

I think if they do a Australia region the sudo legend should be some kind of spider

[pulsar musk]

did they announce anything interesting for the pokemon day

[mystic mauve]

italian tangela incoming

[fallen light]

uhhh, legends ZA starters and some gameplay stuff

a new battle sim game (like battle revolution)

[gusty frost]

legends zancian would jumscare the vgc

[fallen light]

some updates for the mobile games

[pulsar musk]

the legends series reuses existing starters right

[fallen light]

ya

[pulsar musk]

absolutely nothing then

Good old gf

[fallen light]

not a lot no

[mystic mauve]

probably some regional variants ig

[gusty frost]

mega mega niun with fairy type is basically confirmed

[fallen light]

what type would it be?

[mystic mauve]

normal/fire

[wind lynx]

I'm also confused

[pulsar musk]

Spaghetti moment

[wind lynx]

I'm a fake Italian I don't get the ref

Oh

[mystic mauve]

fake italian hasn't heard about spaghetti
exposed

[fallen light]

imagine waking up one morning, going outside and being flamethrowered by a ball of spaghetti

[wind lynx]

I was like thinking, why would vines be something Italian lmao

[fallen light]

Sawk and Throh gladiator regional forms would go hard imo

[wind lynx]

Yeaaa!

And garbador. Just garbador, no new regional, they just live here

[fallen light]

I think every region should have a Trubbish form and it’s just the most common thing thrown away in the real world region

[pulsar musk]

thievuls everywhere in cities to mimic the european experience of being robbed

[fallen light]

no type change or anything

[mystic mauve]

yes, trash vivilion

[wind lynx]

Water type Muk to mimik floods

[fallen light]

regional Palossand, it’s just the colosseum

[mystic mauve]

or the tower of pisa

[fallen light]

Sudowoodo

WAIT IVE JUST HAD A RANDOM IDEA: SMEARGLE EVO THAT IS SMEARGLE INSIDE A DA VINCI TANK

I’m a genius, I should work for GameFreak

[wind lynx]

Tank?

Didn't know Vinci was cool like that

[fallen light]

yeah, the designs that da Vinci made for a tank idea

[pulsar musk]

davinci designed the first helicopter too iirc

[mystic mauve]

regional hoppip that is this

[wind lynx]

Oooohh!

[mystic mauve]

or a flying type excadrill ..

[fallen light]

da Vinci tank

[fallen light]

yep!

[gusty frost]

some event guy should organize a cultural event we are talking about

[wind lynx]

The first ever science fiction drawing

[fallen light]

and I think he had some plane sketches at one point

Da Vinci did a lot of sick things in his time

[gusty frost]

i like the full olympic vision but just a event about countries would be nice

[fallen light]

or you could do a set of Olympic events where you have to make the Pokémon who would do the best at discus, archery, swimming etc. you get points for every event you win, and the overall winners are the team with the most points

[gusty frost]

i'm not good enough for a judge but i could help

[fallen light]

I totally would try and set something up but I am nowhere near good enough to give critical feedback lol

[gusty frost]

i would be honest i prefer cultural stuff them sport stuff but i cant say it isnt on theme

[white wagon]

Uuuuuh wait

[fallen light]

Either one would be cool tbh

[gusty frost]

i though you couldn't see who sent the sprite on drive

[pulsar musk]

you'd think that but no, you can

I brought it up before as an issue but nobody really cares

[feral surge]

I mean it's mainly a user error for using personal email address for something like this, creating an extra email without your name in it and using it for internet stuff is completely free

[signal nexus]

but a hassle, tbh

[feral surge]

I don't know if you want to be active on the internet in any way you will end up running into something wanting your e-mail you are either fine with giving your name or have an extra one at this point

[signal nexus]

and it's not clear that's what's happening to a lot of folks (though that part is on google for not being clear)

[signal nexus]

🤔 but the drives use google accounts, yeah? do you get a chance to change the email associated with the account when you submit a file?

[feral surge]

When you make g mail email you pretty much auto get account with it that's how I ended up with like 5 tho I don't know how it works for other mails

I do wish they made it easier to switch accounts on drive tho that part can be unclear to figure out on your own

[white wagon]

Yeah, true

[white wagon]

Why would you need so many gmails

I already struggle to remember all my passwords, don't need more, and changing every time I use drive here or there

[feral surge]

Youtube accouts made to watch specyfic content so I switch between them depending on what I want to watch instead of my recomandaions being a mess of everything all the time

[pulsar musk]

I have 8 or 9 emails

[feral surge]

But outside of youtube I only use 2, personal one for stuff like school where I need my name and an internet one

[pulsar musk]

password manager makes it relatively painless

[signal nexus]

my main browser has the cookies for my alt google account. i switch to a different browser when i need to use my wallet name email for something, at least 🤔
god it is such a pain to remember passwords

[feral surge]

The worst thing with drive I can think off is switching between accounts in it, the only way I can get it to work is by editing in user number into the url if I do normal switch it throws me out of the drive I was in

[white wagon]

Jesus, do you switch when you feel like watching something different

That sounds like legit a nightmare, I tend to skip from thing to thing

Once I need cooking tutorial, then I need music to listen in the background, then watch something pokemon related, then something else... Do you switch each time?

[feral surge]

I have polish, general english, animation and art, japanese and one I don't really use anymore

[plucky arch]

among us

[minor garnet]

lol

[cedar quest]

The deadlines this time around are going to be a lil' bit shorter, but the themes are also a bit more generic

[rapid knot]

This is like my World of Pokémon Blitz but with three biomes instead of nine

[hallow mural]

who the hell is bro 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
bro think they part of the team frfr

[cedar quest]

Gives me room to slot something in comfortably mid April, while also still giving y'all breaks between announcements

[proven nova]

Imagine if this leads to Dwebble in IF

[cedar quest]

let that boy chill, he need love 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[wind lynx]

Lmaooo, would love it

more bugs!

[rapid knot]

Shout out to this thing
The Mimes know how much grief it gave me while being made

[mystic mauve]

is this event a continuation of some series or entirely new?
like, does it even have a name

[cedar quest]

This is a new series

Oh shit I forgot the name

[rapid knot]

We should name it

[cedar quest]

It's in the drive but like

[rapid knot]

I dub it

[cedar quest]

I didn't put it in the post

[rapid knot]

Pokémon Infinite Fusion Adventure!!!

The three exclamation marks are necessary

[hallow mural]

'hey guys when you say "All Pokemon Must Be Within IF" can you include me in that as well?"

"all IF mons and dwebble if it's not too much trouble thanks guys"

[carmine falcon]

so what does land/terrestrial exactly mean

[spring hemlock]

this is basically what my ref board looked like when i was making the backdrop LMAO

[rapid knot]

It is on the ground

That's about it

[carmine falcon]

omg

[pulsar musk]

The Crikey Cup

[carmine falcon]

ROCKRUFF IS ON THE GROUND

I need to create the rockruffiest rockruff to ever rockruff and win the contest one and for all

[rapid knot]

It's so big
My software kept crashing

[carmine falcon]

(watch me get like -99999999 points and be the lowest on the board)

[cedar quest]

So real for that

[rapid knot]

You should do a Rockruff head

[carmine falcon]

I would do that BUT I am addicted

to making rockruff bodies

it's painful

[rapid knot]

You should make a new custom base and use that

[cedar quest]

There fixed

[mystic mauve]

im too used to magikarp mysteries, this prompt feels so lightweight LOL

[carmine falcon]

I ACTUALLY DID MAKE ONE NOT TOO LONG AGO AND USED IT LIKE TWICE ALREADY

[rapid knot]

Make another one

[carmine falcon]

never posted to sprotework

I should chonk it up a little

probably

[carmine falcon]

so real

[gusty frost]

is he?

[mystic mauve]

doesn't look so happy being in the water

[cedar quest]

Azurill :)

[rapid knot]

Guys guys
There's ground under the water
Make an Octillery

[mystic mauve]

time to make a doduo sprite to represent the flightless birds

[hallow mural]

AYE AYE CAPTAIN 🫡

[bold granite]

Gastrodon mentioned?

[carmine falcon]

Landiest rockruff to ever land in the land that lands all day long.

[glass reef]

i KNOW theres gonna be 42 thousand torterras and im down for it

going somewhere contest part 2?

[carmine falcon]

chat how cute will one pupper need to be to win a contest

I need to COOK

[minor garnet]

groudon could work

[glass reef]

someone needs to win with a self fusion

[mystic mauve]

yep already brainstorming my groudon/doduo

[gusty frost]

make him ocupy all the canva somehow people love this

[minor garnet]

@cedar quest would you say caves fit the theme aswell?

[gusty frost]

i assume anything that walks really

[glass reef]

i think a regirock will win this contest :) idk why but i feel it in my bones

[minor garnet]

you have seen a cave walk?

[glass reef]

also i think next contests will be "by sea" and "by air"

[minor garnet]

by water would make more sense

[mystic mauve]

can imagine the pic provided will extend upwards to the sea and then the sky but yeah

[minor garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[hallow mural]

dw the groudon balances it out. totally.

probably.

[pulsar musk]

groudon symbol on the rock

[mystic mauve]

wdym
doduo literally doesn't learn fly

[limpid sphinx]

oh the land, ~, ~ is really happening, nice

maybe is time to come back to sprite

[pulsar musk]

I bet I can guess what's gonna be on a rock in the sea

[wind lynx]

that rock will be alted unfortunately

[hallow mural]

you know.
i can think of something too...

heh.
so when you say rock in the sea, do you mean a very specific water/rock type orrrr-
[I have been advised not to continue this sentence or I will suffer a severe case of hyper-ness]
[that might end badly for my mental wellbeing may i add]

[glass reef]

this would be a really cool time to know how to plant texture i fear 😥

[cedar quest]

Whatever works as long as it's land based
-# ||Save your beaches and islands n' stuff for what's next ||

[minor garnet]

Damn

[whole arrow]

is that runerigus on the rock

[minor garnet]

I swear on EVERYONE that there was a animation with a flying doduo

it was spinning its heads like a helicopter

[glass reef]

i know what im doing!!!

[minor garnet]

Okay

I might have smt

[glass reef]

lets go study some trevenant sprites!

and also steal a base

[mystic mauve]

https://youtu.be/wo4kVZc5LKs?t=220

[minor garnet]

lets learn how to make a palossand base

[glass reef]

i dont think any sprite has ever won using a base... so let me be the first! because i dont wanna do allat

[minor garnet]

not how I remember it but it seems like the closest thing lol

oh right gotta make a mudkip first

[signal nexus]

This event seems perfect for my torterra/carbink
I better touch it up until it’s snazzy 😌

[signal stream]

"land" "sea" or "air"
"must incorporate the theme Land/Terrestrial"
Bruh what about sea and air then 😐

[maiden scroll]

i think its just by land this time maybe sea and air is next

[gusty frost]

i believe there will be 3 contests

[signal stream]

Figured as well, it just didn't specify so I didn't want to assume 😅

[sly shuttle]

I think that’s just Groudon’s Omega Ruby sigil

[glass reef]

woah this message just gave me deja vu

[rich hemlock]

oh boy, contests are back

time to lock in

[minor garnet]

can yall just not participate

[glass reef]

when the contest winner joins the contest and now you know your screwed

[minor garnet]

Oh you know youre screwed when a bleu'er name joins

[glass reef]

me and my bad texturing against the world!!!

[minor garnet]

me and having an AMAZING idea

I am NOT gonna be able to sprite it

[mystic mauve]

hey that's me all the time
challenging yourself is a good way to improve though 😎

[minor garnet]

You sprite this then

diance/palossand but its 3 mountains with a cave full of diamonds

[mystic mauve]

that is a cool idea

[urban siren]

only a week and 2 entries??

[minor garnet]

Yup

I am not 120% cooked!

[spring hemlock]

i will try to put something in for each week, but no promises lmao

[near horizon]

I might get off hiatus with a land sprite, but not this week

[pulsar musk]

I'm gonna save my powder and try to submit 2 decent attempts for air

[signal nexus]

Sprite powder

[pulsar musk]

keep my powder dry I mean

[dense jackal]

Interesting way to encourage participation. Instead of setting a maximum number or entries per person, the rules mandate 2 entries from all of the people. Can't wait for the 1000000 sprites

[minor garnet]

Wait there must be 2 sprties pp I Just thought 2 max fuck I need to get a 2nd idea

[cedar quest]

Oh shit that's way more interesting than that

Totally didn't forget to put Up to or anything like that

[dense jackal]

Having just closed little cup, hubris caught Gordo with no delay once more

[cedar quest]

Honestly? Fuck it, I'm not editing it

[minor garnet]

Wait so its 2 max and not 2 required?

[signal nexus]

Treat it as two required

[pulsar musk]

if you submit more than your quota you can save a fellow spriter from being executed

[dense jackal]

that says 2 entries per person. Spriter is not a requirement O.O

[cedar quest]

Never has been

[limpid sphinx]

non spriters already won contests btw

[cedar quest]

We still check them for quality in terms of like, if they follow the guidelines in shit, but like

[limpid sphinx]

now yes <.<

[frozen ivy]

hi new to the game and server (old pokemon fan) can someone explain how the contests/events work please?

[stone solar]

hello! are you interested in playing the game, making sprites for the game, or both?

[frozen ivy]

both. I have the game downloaded and I've played a little bit but I've been distracted by Persona 5. trying to finally finish the game. I used to dabble in making fusion and custom sprites for pokemon.

[limpid sphinx]

welcome to the server! the contests/events are mainly if u want to test your spriting skills and have some feedback from the judges too, this tab is mainly focused on the people who help the game with the pokemon fusions sprites but sometimes we have events/contests for dex entries and concept arts too

the winner and the others on the podium get a special role, and the winner in specific are turned into the pfp of the server

[stone solar]

that's great! if you want to learn how to make a sprite, there are instructions in #spriting-guidelines

[limpid sphinx]

you can check the previous contests on #contest-gallery

[limpid sphinx]

this and if you really want to be a spriter when u feel ready to start you can make 3 sprites and send an apply on #1134483288703119361 , you dont need to be a spriter to join the contests but if u want to post your creations on #sprite-gallery (so it can be in-game) you need the spriter role

and i think that is all? ^^

[frozen ivy]

awesome! Thank you so much for the help! I'll looking over the info you've sent and see if any of my old sprites might work

[spring hemlock]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1347392231312592988

slides in cool thread for cool winning sprite for cool contest (feedback plz)

[acoustic saddle]

i shall make Pen Island

best place for writers

and artist

[sly shuttle]

I shall make Sword Isle

because the sword is mightier than the pen

[acoustic saddle]

🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

i used flame thrower

[sly shuttle]

I’m on the wiki page for terrestrial ecosystems right now

“Organisms in terrestrial ecosystems have adaptations that allow them to obtain water when the entire body is no longer bathed in that fluid”

I had no idea this was even possible

[signal nexus]

hydrate or diedrate

[acoustic saddle]

are they spunbub

[signal nexus]

i might be an idiot i can't tell if this is sarcasm or if you're just having trouble translating that into normal person speak

[signal nexus]

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/3.470/ ?

[sly shuttle]

||~~don’t worry. It was just sarcasm, the easiest thing to convey through text ~~||

[acoustic saddle]

what mon has pen theme

[signal nexus]

okay good 😮‍💨

[signal nexus]

smeargle probably closest
maybe smeargle and the horsea or tentacool line for ink?

[acoustic saddle]

@cedar quest would any pieces of dirt count as land

[signal nexus]

someone did say to save the islands and shorelines for the next one

[sly shuttle]

I should make something that could be found in my home biome of Temperate Deciduous Forest

[acoustic saddle]

land sea sky

[acoustic saddle]

every continents r a big island

[urban siren]

is a garden counted as land/terrestrial

[acoustic saddle]

if it grown on land

[sly shuttle]

Depends on what you’re growing
Strawberries: ✅
Seagrass: ❌

[signal nexus]

duckweed

[urban siren]

i imagined the flowers fly in the sky

[signal nexus]

potato
pomme de terre

[acoustic saddle]

if we put sea grass on land , would it just be grass

[signal nexus]

if you put a seagull over the bay, would it be a bagel?

[acoustic saddle]

explain joke plz

[sly shuttle]

Baygull

[urban siren]

i'm gonna make a judge hated mon

[acoustic saddle]

girls?

[urban siren]

ya

[acoustic saddle]

same

[sly shuttle]

The Gible line is either a great troll or a definite loss

[acoustic saddle]

why so?

[maiden scroll]

isnt gible a land shark?

[urban siren]

ground type
and garchomp can fly

same as flygon

[maiden scroll]

or well garchomp i mean

[acoustic saddle]

:v bc gilbite and garchomp

[signal nexus]

i just want people to give my perf concept for this event some feedback so it has the best chance

[maiden scroll]

this is my first time trying to participate in an event and i feel like i picked the two most random mons

[acoustic saddle]

u need to make square sprite

[acoustic saddle]

make a fish dying on land

[maiden scroll]

LMAO

[acoustic saddle]

all that flop3

[urban siren]

i need to make it very good to offset the waifu penalty

[signal nexus]

he's more of a cone #1347021884734312478

[maiden scroll]

nah mines tauros/tyranitar

[acoustic saddle]

u need to triple his size

[sly shuttle]

I think an airborne fusion would convey the terrestrial theme worse than a gravity-bound fusion

[acoustic saddle]

can u mute me

[signal nexus]

how's this
i zoom in

[acoustic saddle]

with small mon u might need insane shading to gain good point

[urban siren]

[maiden scroll]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1347361025367740447 i literally speed ran making this creature (i usually take like 1-2 days for sprites i did this in 3 hours)

[acoustic saddle]

why

[signal nexus]

🤦 wait nvm i shared the initial version

[signal nexus]

ntm only does husbandos

[sly shuttle]

I forgot what your thing looked like
Decently terrestrial
Whatever the head is doing will not vibe with the judges

[sly shuttle]

I’m a hater

[signal nexus]

👀 feedback me
i need to know how to make him snazzy

[acoustic saddle]

r u still mad

[sly shuttle]

I have no authority to hold a grudge
I’ve not followed through on too many sprite commitments to do so

Y’know what?

I could just evolve my sharp-nosed pig

[acoustic saddle]

eepu

[urban siren]

revealing my concept cuz i can't wait

[sly shuttle]

Probably because they can’t recognize braixen

[urban siren]

i always draw it like a cat

guess i need to sacrifice artstyle for readability

[signal nexus]

new event idea: ugly sprites
not like eyebleeding or grossout or not meeting guidelines, but just aesthetically ugly. like magmar's butt head, stantler's nose, bruxish's garishness, lucario's jorts
a celebration of the ugly elements of pokemon

[wind lynx]

Wait, so flowers count for the land event

:333 it's Lurantis time

[urban siren]

i'm not sure
maybe the judges will say 'not land enough'

[whole arrow]

👀

[wind lynx]

Add a gardening shovel (one of the little ones) and some dirt on the dress, it adds some detail, and can help with the earth theme!
(She looks like she is gardening ahahah)

...I mean, I totally understand if you don't want to, it's super cute as is!

[urban siren]

i like this idea

[acoustic saddle]

just add some ground

[acoustic saddle]

u just missed the ear fluff

[rich hemlock]

While the more it reads land the better probably, I havent really known contests to be particularly strict about theme, unless it was more conceptual (iirc one was about being trapped)

[acoustic saddle]

:v is it sunflora

[wind lynx]

I think so (lines that run from the top of the head of the bottom would help make it recognizable as a sunflora head)

[acoustic saddle]

if it stand on the battle ground then its land enough

[limpid sphinx]

i think by land is like really not strict XD i think that if the thing is not a fish or not a bird it is fine lol

[acoustic saddle]

fish dying on land is very land thing

[limpid sphinx]

truee

[urban siren]

i know i need to add it
i like keeping the concept as simple as possible

[acoustic saddle]

:v no adding new mon?

[glass reef]

what if the contest glitches and it turns into by wormhole and boom all ultra beasts added to game

[acoustic saddle]

press X

[potent sorrel]

So like small question
Terrestrial technically means all creatures on earth
So by all definitions does like 90% of the Pokemon/Fusions on the list just count as long as the Pokemon isn't from space?

This is all a hypothetical

Like, normal everyday old man Joe counts for this theme, what if I just submit Joe

[gusty frost]

i think theres a unspoken rule of not using aquatic and flying stuff

[wind lynx]

Is this earth enough?

[gusty frost]

yes

[wind lynx]

I guess maybe all diance fusions are earth enough lmao

[sly shuttle]

This contest is for the 2nd definition

[potent sorrel]

Pooey

[minor garnet]

so basically

still any land animal will do

[acoustic saddle]

sprite rush event to fill up all the removed sprootes? @merry mica

@cedar quest @cyan gull

[merry mica]

the mons with the most removed sprites are:
electivire
duskull
cofagrigus
togekiss
jirachi
and klinklang

[acoustic saddle]

and macho

my time had come

[merry mica]

[pulsar musk]

can we just post the full list of dexnumbers removed at this point

it's not like the threads of removal requests are hidden

[signal nexus]

there's still concern it might lead to harassment of the former spriters

not sure when that will abate

[pulsar musk]

I don't see how posting an anoymous list of dex numbers is going to aid that

[acoustic saddle]

just kil em if they harass the former spriter

what i concerns if that the former spriter harassed the new spries

[pulsar musk]

what're people going to do, search the dexnumber to look for the galpost then abuse them?

[opal wadi]

That is not an IF Pokédex number. :eyes:

[signal nexus]

[patpat] you tried, bot. you tried

[pulsar musk]

if the removal threads were hidden it'd make sense

[signal nexus]

i'm just reporting what i've seen in other threads when this topic gets brought up

[pulsar musk]

rn anyone with motivation can already harass at will

doesn't seem like it's an issue

[acoustic saddle]

you like to lick windows aint cha, you are a window licker

[pulsar musk]

makes me feel alive

[cyan gull]

The full removal is handled through a form

[acoustic saddle]

is it actually 3000+ sprite?

[cyan gull]

I don't know the number

Probably not a bad bet though

[acoustic saddle]

do we have access to the form?

[cyan gull]

Yes

If you want to remove your sprites

[merry mica]

its at least 2k+

idk if its 3k

[acoustic saddle]

yes

[mystic mauve]

that's a lot of cool mons too
and klingklang
could definitely make an event out of it

[pulsar musk]

they're not gonna do an event lol

[cyan gull]

We get more mons monthly than the combined removals iirc

[merry mica]

klinklang would be a pain i wouldnt mind if its last lmao

[pulsar musk]

won't even share the mons

[cyan gull]

Yeah no lmao

[signal nexus]

lol
"that's a lot of cool 'mons. and klinklang."

[cyan gull]

Though that would add nicely to my villain arc...

[signal nexus]

start with the 'klang to get it over with

[mystic mauve]

idk i just saw this idea and continued the thought

[acoustic saddle]

are they gone from all the site or only in game , as i can see , in game it was just a blank spot?

[merry mica]

hm... would any of those mons work for a pride rush...

[pulsar musk]

they're gone from the sites now

[signal nexus]

probably back to autogen, ye?

[merry mica]

yes

[mystic mauve]

sites takes from the files themselves i think so they must be gone

[acoustic saddle]

any mon can be Pride

[merry mica]

true

[pulsar musk]

they were there until very recently

[signal nexus]

togekiss is kind of rainbow 🤔

[acoustic saddle]

togekiss is France

[mystic mauve]

togekiss literally has kiss in the name
missed valentines opportunity

[minor garnet]

oh I can go into the form Totally doesnt make an alt account just to apply and remove the sprites

[merry mica]

lol

[cyan gull]

[pulsar musk]

pretty sure kuray is keeping them

[mystic mauve]

not the disc noooooooooo

[signal nexus]

lemme check jirachi's lore 🤔

[pulsar musk]

could compare their spritesheet to the vanilla one

I suppose

[merry mica]

if you make togekiss's colors more pastel it could technically make a trans pride flag ig lol

[acoustic saddle]

France: become trans

[pulsar musk]

toothpaste bird

[cyan gull]

Detroit: become human sequel

[signal nexus]

mm, jirachi's more about wishes than pride...

[acoustic saddle]

you can wish for trans

[merry mica]

jirachi seems better for christmas

[cloud solstice]

togekiss is also peace
trans icon, peace and france that's a lot of qualifications

[merry mica]

or rather new years

[minor garnet]

I wish jirachi was pride

[mystic mauve]

are you saying that togekiss is a white flag with french colours that stands for peace
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[cyan gull]

The red in flags typically means blood in some modem

[cloud solstice]

yep, it combines all the good things

[pulsar musk]

the french surrendering meme actually pisses me off

[signal nexus]

klinklang pride rush
it's two soulmates and the community they build to support them

[acoustic saddle]

also togekiss has no neck for the guillotine

[minor garnet]

want amoonguss a trans icon?

[pulsar musk]

if you read any ww2 history the french fought to the fucking death

[mystic mauve]

what if you do an event around the Power Plant location like the by land thing
free electivires

[cloud solstice]

can togekiss lean guillotine?

[merry mica]

itd be nice to have a cofagrigus rush for halloween and a jirachi rush for new years tho

[acoustic saddle]

better fuse with a crab

[minor garnet]

@cyan gull I think its time to reveal amoonguss for the game when its pride month for the pride rush

[acoustic saddle]

:v what about beach event, all game have beach episode

[cyan gull]

Meanwhile, the Portuguese dipped when Napoleon showed up

[merry mica]

amogus real

[cyan gull]

Because you're tripping on shrooms?

[acoustic saddle]

:v can we have a list of removed sprite tho?

[minor garnet]

we did that last year made this for the event

[acoustic saddle]

im sure he look more red than this

[merry mica]

oh wait
maybe klinklang could work for disability pride month?
klinklang could work for making wheelchairs and other disability aids

[minor garnet]

theres 2 fusion variant

[cyan gull]

No

Just sprite

[pulsar musk]

I don't really think we need a disability pride month rush tbh

[acoustic saddle]

wheel chair mon?

[cloud solstice]

amoogus being added to PIF will bring 2 things, more trans representation and more jokes

[cyan gull]

[minor garnet]

speaking of spot the among us

[pulsar musk]

I will see if kuray spritepack still has them later maybe

if they do it is a 3 min job and I pm it to you

[tranquil fable]

Why would it bring more trans representation?

[minor garnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwAGh2aVcqs&ab_channel=cecilily

[tranquil fable]

W h a t

[merry mica]

lol

[cloud solstice]

to summarize, wolfie won against neil, who said transphobic stuff, thanks to amoogus
iirc

[pulsar musk]

amoonguss being one of the strongest pokemon in the format for the past 15 years probably helped

[tranquil fable]

In the background you can see a trans-flag-colored-Brazil-flag

That sure is... Interesting?

[urban siren]

amoonguss has the worst front sprite and the best back sprite

[woven kettle]

Damn, a contest

@cedar quest wasn't lying when he said there would be things for March

I thought @cedar quest would lie about that

As that sounds like something@cedar quest would do

Thank god @cedar quest did not lie

[minor garnet]

I am also very glad @cedar quest didnt lie

Can you imagine how bad it wouldve been if @cedar quest lied

Idk if I couldve trusted @cedar quest ever again if he did

[acoustic saddle]

dont pinng him

one day we will have to face our consequences

[minor garnet]

Wait I shouldnt ping @cedar quest?

[woven kettle]

True

I'll stop now ty NTM you saved my life 👍

[cedar quest]

[minor garnet]

Gordo I hate this event it made me think of an idea that I cant execute and since its your event its your fault

[cloud solstice]

the consequences have arrived

[pulsar musk]

so who won little cup?

does the artist get a lil shoutout

[cedar quest]

Once Kiwi finishes up the choice awards, it'll all be announced at once

[pulsar musk]

Oh

[cedar quest]

But you can also see who won in #special-contest-polls

[pulsar musk]

exciting

[minor garnet]

welp

[naive summit]

Wow it only took like 5 years

[limpid sphinx]

lmao

[glass reef]

contest that only non event podiumers can join when? (i wanna win if its not obvious )

[minor garnet]

Depending on how well I do this contest

[glass reef]

One thing im realizing is that most winning contest sprites have a specific texture to them

Like rock or fur

[maiden scroll]

so the judges are rock eaters and like fur coats?

[glass reef]

yes!'

[maiden scroll]

respectiable busnisses parctice

-# you can tell i cant spell

[minor garnet]

I mean

No hate but some of them are furries

[glass reef]

which ones? all i see are the delphoxes and that because it was literally a kalos starter contest

[fallen light]

i think they mean the judges (at least thats how i read it)

[minor garnet]

That sounded mean

but it wasnt my intention

[fallen light]

imo it didnt sound rude/mean

[minor garnet]

I see why you would think that but you see

when someone uses for example "I am not a hater of [Insert minority group] but," You know that they are gonna say smt that goes against the first part

[fallen light]

ahh, yeah, i see what you mean lol

[rich hemlock]

Good texture work is really tasty and helps a sprite pop

[pulsar musk]

what do you think the highest skill ceiling texture is

[cedar quest]

Personally I'd say Ice

[mighty stump]

Getting gems right is really tricky, I think I need more practice on those

[minor garnet]

I think the highest skill ceiling texture is woopers

[pulsar musk]

I think ice is the coolest looking but i don't understand everything going on

[minor garnet]

Ice cant be that hard

I wont try tho

I am gonna keep doing these fucking geodes

I cant imagine the FUN ill be having when the outlines are done

[mighty stump]

I'm kinda surprised to hear ice, but I haven't made a sprite using it and I just said gems are hard, and in a way ice is gems but transparent

[glass reef]

ice is HELL

[mighty stump]

Good to know XD

[minor garnet]

No fire is hell

pretty sure theres no ice down there

[fallen light]

no ice in hell? time to earn my space then

[minor garnet]

yeah must be hell down there

[rich hemlock]

I have an easier time with ice than gems

Still thinking back to the diancie contest where a lot of people got commented on "gem lighting is wrong"

[near horizon]

What's the rule exactly of the land contest, does it must be related to the concept of land or just be a land creature

[subtle moss]

Primarily the former, I think.

[minor garnet]

Terrastial means anything that lives or grows on land

[slow gyro]

I am not a hater of Miltank, but

You know what, I do hate miltank

[minor garnet]

W

[slow gyro]

Definitely, I still struggle with it sometimes

[rapid knot]

The second one

If it's also the first one, uhh, maybe bonus points?
-# That is not an official statement, I guarantee no extra points

[cedar quest]

I mean, there technically is

If you choose to interpret that as focusing on the creature that's fine.
If you choose to interpret that as something akin to Going Somewhere again, that's also fine.

[minor garnet]

If interpret is as wooper thats an auto win right?

[rapid knot]

Rules:
No water stuff
No flying stuff
No space stuff
Make a sprite

[cedar quest]

If you want the truth....

||Original intention was to lean towards the second, but I like the interpretation of the first, especially considering the "Steve Irwin" parody here||

[rich hemlock]

Well yknow what I interpreted it as the second, and I wasn't here for Going Somewhere so 😤

[minor garnet]

I am making the most challenging sprite I have made so far

Bc of this event

I fucking hate it

My server name might suggest why I hate it

[cedar quest]

:)

[rich hemlock]

I just wanna make a fusion that embodies a biome or piece of earth.

[naive summit]

My one attempt at ice came out well enough that I never tried it again lol

[signal nexus]

Everywhere torterra

[naive summit]

Tbf they do also kinda look like gems though

And I am okay with that

[signal nexus]

Ice is just a rock
-# well, mineral, but still

[limpid sphinx]

Swamp count as by land?

👁️

[minor garnet]

Yes

[whole arrow]

More terrain than water prob for the best.

Mud is land, puddles and stuff good. Pond? Maybe not as good but still arguable if enough terrain.

[sly shuttle]

||Food fight|| mentioned again

[sly shuttle]

[cedar quest]

I gotta tease somethin' for after April Fools

[rich hemlock]

I finally decided on a fusion concept but considering my history with stone textures im prolly gonna bust my brains out making it

Hm

If I get 10 Entrants into Jokemon Week 2 I'll up the production value of the event by 30% Better Graphics, and a reward 👀

[minor garnet]

10 bucks

[whole arrow]

The reward is a secret and will remain a secret so that I dont have to sift thru 20 bad sprites of people who want money.

it's outright not going to be money

[minor garnet]

I wouldnt have accepted it anyways

[fallen light]

i would have payed it to you for concept art

[signal nexus]

What if it’s obsolete money

[fallen light]

monopoly money, ship it halfway across the world

[whole arrow]

The world is run by monopolies

so monopoly money is going up in worth

responded to wrong person

[signal nexus]

🤔 what’re you good at spriting/what’s your favorite thing to sprite?

[wind lynx]

that's an hard question to ask somebody with maybe 40 sprites under their belt ahahah
I went to my sprite folder too look for something in common with all my favourite ones, but I couldnt come up with much...

...What do you think I do well?

[fallen light]

i love your lurantis' especially lurantis/bayleef

[glass reef]

nothing you fail everything /j

JOKEMON EVENT NEWS:
I think if we stay under 7 entrants for Jokemon Week 2, Ill do all 7 indepth reviews for the entries, but if we get over 7 Ill only review the lowest scores and pass on quick vital critiques to the others.

[rich hemlock]

I am reminded of how I can kinda do stone texture but it takes me a million years 🫠

I really wanna have two entries for this contest but time crunch lookin a lil spooky

[signal nexus]

do something small

[wind lynx]

I feel bad, because the ice effect I often use are actually repurposed crystal effects
Kinda makes me want to remake my ice effects sprites just to make them more ice-like

[minor garnet]

Hey I gotta texture mountains

[limpid sphinx]

i have opinions about the deadline too

[minor garnet]

Same

I got time for 1 good sprite and 1 wooper

[urban siren]

I think it's kinda like a mini contest?
7 days and 2 entries

[limpid sphinx]

nah its a series

[urban siren]

[limpid sphinx]

i think what is hard to deal with it is cuz ppl just left a rush that was kinda hard like let beat both bodies and heads at 100% so ig a lot of ppl that join events r kinda tired then the right next contest is only 6 days of deadline

much going short time to do stuff

ig its happening like that cuz the time is short for the next big event(probably april fools) so they have a few time to finish a entire series but still that deadline looks like a pain

and i feel like by land gonna have only few entries (idk like 15-20 being optismtic)

but i think we r fiiiiine i just idk would like to see more entries on it

but i bet the next one on the series gonna have more~i hope

[urban siren]

yea I feel that
even in the fishmas contest with 19 days I can't make 3 satisfactory entries

[limpid sphinx]

yeah its hard i think a good deadline for 2 entries could be something like 10-14 days, i can understand being less time sometimes for things having to be kinda rushed but thinking as spriter only 6-7 days can be too short
