event-general

[ancient palm]

quite frankly i don’t care but i like collabs

[signal nexus]

i read the commentary for all of them

~~except i'm only partway through the BtB results because 😵‍💫 ~~

[slender thunder]

i hadn't participated in contests in a while so i thought for a minute that i also didnt read them but no, i just didnt participate i read the stuff

[rapid knot]

Three didn't even finish

[steady pasture]

It's been 6 hours, where's the Swoobat contest results?

[dense jackal]

The results were the friends we made along the way

[signal nexus]

Myst and Mud win

[dreamy loom]

whale sweep

[signal nexus]

it's big enough it would do that

[mighty stump]

I love looking at all the fluffy bats in the drive

[minor garnet]

Mine is the best

[mighty stump]

Ofcourse! I mean its name is woobat, if woobat doesn't win the woobat contest, then who does!

[elder marlin]

Swoobat

[hushed shoal]

Can’t spell Swoobat without Woobat though

[near horizon]

can't spell woobat without woo anyways, so enjoy !

x)

[kindred valley]

speaking of woobats

[rigid abyss]

Best woobat ever 🔥

[minor garnet]

Who put that in there

[white wagon]

I live marble rally! It's been a while since I watched it

[signal nexus]

same

[mortal fractal]

It's been -85 days, where are the Lombre contest results?

[plush vale]

there was a lombre contest?

Oh, if it's been negative 85 days prob not for a while yet

maybe paya could help get them out sooner

[signal nexus]

Didn’t anyone tell you? You’re the judge. It’s up to you

[cedar quest]

Wasn't that DT4: Middle Child Syndrome?

yeah it was, here you go

@mortal fractal

[limpid sphinx]

haha lombre cry

[mortal fractal]

Oh I haven't checked out events I just wanted to have a lil giggle

Cool emotes though

[mortal fractal]

Ohnyo

[mighty stump]

Do you think Myst and Mud results will come out before the end of the month? Just asking so I know if I should gal post whale now and apply feedback in a sprite error update later or something.

[cedar quest]

For sure, will probably be out sometime next week

[ancient mural]

Does this game still use ai or can I finally get the newest version without feeling like I'm contributing to the destruction of our planet?

Whoops wrong channel

[hushed shoal]

The entire AI situation was a year ago, I’m pretty sure all traces of AI have been long removed from the game

[ancient mural]

Worrrdd

Thank Arceus

[rapid knot]

Also, the way the ai thing worked was horribly miscommunicated
It was a one-time generation based solely on game freak's entries, not a repeated process for each player, and not stolen from random people's writing on the internet

[astral niche]

the drama was horrible , I wish we never relive that again

[minor garnet]

Everyone stop interacting with this convo we dont wanna start a debate here

[frigid ruin]

i mean everyone is in agreement that the situation didn't work so like. I think as a community it's just more fun for everyone to write more entries on their own.

[jagged hinge]

Do you guys think we’ll get the April fools contest result on this year’s April fools

[frigid ruin]

idk, that sounds like a lot of work

[minor garnet]

Nah were just fools

[signal nexus]

from Gordo's statements, something about the previous April Fools is going to be the basis of this year's april fools
i think
i'm kinda reading tea leaves here

[jagged hinge]

Oh I hope I can participate even if I didn’t make a sprite last year

[frigid ruin]

i dont even sprite for contests anynore bc im lazy and can't get anything done in less than 2 weeks so i can't imagine judging in just 1 day

[jagged hinge]

Hey just like me

[dense jackal]

Here is a gamr quote

People have constantly asked about April Fools results, but not my plans for April Fools 2027

If someone would've asked the latter by now, they would've known
They would've known it's one in the same. :smirkball:

[jagged hinge]

Wait 2027

[signal nexus]

well,
you have time, ig

[frigid ruin]

cnrdjffj

[solid coral]

that basis being, contest that never gets results

[cursive pewter]

perhaps every April fools from here on out we get one round of polls from the 2025 april fools contest

[echo peak]

Can't wait to see an April Fool's challenge with this in mind

[plain wing]

I think we should have the April Fool's results be community judged and not tell anyone that the least voted sprites will win

[echo peak]

(Time to make the most mundane fusion possible)

[quartz pebble]

A Spriting contest judged by non spriters

[plain wing]

Exaaactly

[quartz pebble]

Or the other way round, a Spriting contest only open to non spriters

[plain wing]

Could be fun

[jagged hinge]

The meta would be inviting a friend who hasn’t joined the server yet

[mighty stump]

Please please please

It would be amazinh

[quartz pebble]

I've got it in the bag if it happens

[cedar quest]

oh shit that's a mistype

that is indeed meant to say 2026

I do already have my plans for April Fools 2027 though

However, while also grabbing up quotes from me

[echo peak]

Then we'll make our own! (Maybe)

[plain wing]

So it is 2027

[dense jackal]

Emphasis is on contest. There could still be an April fools event

[echo peak]

I did say we could make our own but even that could be an April Fool's joke

[rapid knot]

Oh, that makes way more sense
I remember being very intrigued when you said that

[dreamy loom]

where results

[jade chasm]

voting started 2 days ago

oh nevermind i read upwards

[slender thunder]

April Fools Gengar rush

All the sprites for the rush get removed from the game one day later

[dreamy loom]

were resul

[rigid abyss]

I eated

[limpid sphinx]

lc results when

[signal nexus]

in-character results?

oh wait is that an 🇱?

[rigid abyss]

[plain wing]

Yeah it's an L

[signal nexus]

the results of lc are "never have a cash prize and unlimited entries"

[minor garnet]

Someone has been waiting for 20 bucks for like more than 4 years

[limpid sphinx]

be careful kiwi im lookin for people rights

[slow gyro]

@cedar quest wdym no mega Dragalge???

[sly shuttle]

Line contest

[torpid osprey]

A Dragalge Evolution Chain contest, interesting

literally chained to the evolution this time too

[slow gyro]

Do you really think people would do Mega Dragalge anyways??? Have you seen its design???

Would make the sprite too cluttered for most people

[cedar quest]

You're not convincing me this time

[torpid osprey]

I assume Gordo got sick of the Eelectross being like 50% mega designes

[cedar quest]

Yep

And besides Mega-Evolving would literally just not work for this contest anyways

[torpid osprey]

these ARE to promote filling out the vacant slots

[sly shuttle]

Then why give them the option?

[carmine falcon]

@cedar quest sorry to have to ping you so early but uh
what I don't get it does one person have to make the first half of the entry and someone else makes the 2nd half or is it just one person who makes both halves or can it be both?

[slow gyro]

I could have done regular version and mega version

[cedar quest]

Oh no this is just to hopefully also get Skrelp sprites

[slow gyro]

So I can do it

[cedar quest]

Yeah you do both halves

[cold bay]

Speak for yourselves I was a good child and didn't do mega

Also collab anyone

[cedar quest]

This isn't a collab contest

[cold bay]

Oh wait is it not

[carmine falcon]

yeah you should clear that up lol

it's kinda confusing

[cold bay]

Whelp nevermind im no longer interested lmao

[torpid osprey]

It's entirely clear. tho

[carmine falcon]

idk I hought it was like

one person made sprote

another made evo

they submit together

[cedar quest]

No

[torpid osprey]

No the two sprites collab to be one entry. still gotta do both

[slow gyro]

And then I make the mega

[cedar quest]

Fine I'll just remove that portion of the joke

[minor garnet]

Lets make mega fusions that dont use mega dragalge

[slow gyro]

Me on my way to make a mega alt of all of my entries

https://tenor.com/view/cat-apple-gif-21978863

[tulip tusk]

does necrozma count as an evolution

[cedar quest]

hm..........

hm....................................................................

[sly shuttle]

@cedar quest Why can’t we use single-stages if the Skrelp half can handle the evolving thing?

[signal nexus]

@cedar quest

I try and keep things interesting a fresh persay, don't want things to stagnate.
uh
*interesting and fresh, per se

[tulip tusk]

im not joining i cant muster the will to sprite im just curious

[cedar quest]

You can!

[hushed shoal]

No collabs?! Yippee, I don‘t need to pressure myself to talk to others!!

[signal nexus]

along those lines, what about castform and oricorio?

[torpid osprey]

there's literally a Skrelp/Mamoswine example :I

[cedar quest]

Oricorio can't switch mid battle so that's a no

[torpid osprey]

Mamoswine cannot evolve

[sly shuttle]

The wording just sounds weird

[slow gyro]

Evolutions don’t change mid battle tho

[cedar quest]

Well yeah but like

Necrozma and Castform are really weird outliers

[sly shuttle]

Those are form changes
Evos are permanent

[cedar quest]

yeah true

[torpid osprey]

Castform: Make all 4 forms for it to be an entry, than double for the evolution

[signal nexus]

🤔 time to reread and internalize the instructions

[cedar quest]

Probably just better to just

Say no in this case, sorry

[slow gyro]

So you are telling me not only I need to think of a background for the back of Dragalge/Torterra, but also Skrelp/Torterra?

[hushed shoal]

@cedar quest Sorry for yet another ping but this part confuses me a bit. If I understand it correctly, this means that i.e. Entry 1 has Skrelp/Eevee and Skrelp/Flareon, enabling Entry 2 to have Skrelp/Vaporeon and Dragalge/Eevee?

[cedar quest]

Not quite

Your Entry 1 uses Skrelp/Eevee into Skrelp/Flareon

[signal nexus]

Your Skrelp/Dragalge must be fused with something that still has the ability to evolve
perhaps this is better rewritten as
Your skrelp or dragalge fusion must still be able to evolve.

[cedar quest]

You can still use Skrelp/Eevee again to do Skrelp/Vaporeon, but that entry would be Skrelp/Eevee -> Skrelp/Vaporeon

[hushed shoal]

So I use the same sprite again for Entry 2 (which has the Vaporeon)?

[sly shuttle]

Lazy contest

[signal nexus]

Line the Finish
duh

[slow gyro]

Finish the line? More like sprite the whole line

[echo peak]

Oh boy, a new event

I think I'll pass this one. Seems complex

[cedar quest]

Drag the Finish Line

It's perfect!

[signal nexus]

sure sure
it's just like how evolving a teammate in IFA works
maybe i can convince Hail to give me a skrelp once i defeat my next gym so i can do double-duty

[slow gyro]

Wait I have a question

[cedar quest]

ask away

[slow gyro]

So are fully evolved fusions allowed as half the entry?

Or does everything needs to be able to evolve?

[signal nexus]

oh wait that'd have to be two gyms

suppose i can just fish one up

[slow gyro]

Like saying my entry is
Skrelp/Torterra and Dragalge/Torterra

[cedar quest]

As your second half

Like a fully evolved fusion could be what you end up with if you do like

Skrelp/Charizard -> Dragalge/Charizard

[slow gyro]

Oh okay

[cedar quest]

You obviously can't start with Dragalge/Charizard though

[slow gyro]

Then I might be entering

[cedar quest]

Since... what could you evolve that into?

[carmine falcon]

contest name idea "Evolve and Resolve"

[cedar quest]

And no mega

[carmine falcon]

cause we resolve the lines

trust

[echo peak]

"Dragged Through The Mud"

[signal nexus]

remember, it just says no mega dragalge, not no mega everything

[carmine falcon]

[slow gyro]

Shut up, Gamr will fix it

[echo peak]

I'm tempted to do this but idk

[signal nexus]

you can always do it and not enter if you wanna

[echo peak]

So like I'm doing for the RPG

I'll consider it. I have plenty of time to do this if I even do (or until a god tier sprite comes along)

[cedar quest]

I'm going to rn

[slow gyro]

You’re just afraid of my power

I’ll do my own contest

[cedar quest]

I gave y'all this chance with Eelektross

[slow gyro]

With megas and regional forms

We deserve a mega chance

[signal nexus]

like how this is, i reckon, ye
but with skrelp line instead of axew

[echo peak]

Worth a shot I guess

[signal nexus]

and if not, you have a consistent line

[echo peak]

I gotta just be less negative about my skills in the end

[cedar quest]

That you do

There's a whole thread on Contest Negativity which I'll be be posting about after this contest

oh shoot speaking of

I almost forgot the thing

[slow gyro]

Gamr I fixed the issue with people’s attitude toward contest and contest winners, I deserve megas

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/the-thing-fantastic-four-first-steps-f4-richie-the-bear-here's-the-thing-gif-10866717939802756885

[little cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

[echo peak]

I have a bad feeling about that. Just saying

But I'd fit right in depending on my mood

[slow gyro]

The thread is about finding a way to avoid negativity, we came to the conclusion that there isn’t one big thing we can do, so we all will just try to be kind and help other people

[signal nexus]

oh, and i imagine this is implied, but
inverting the sprite doesn't count as half the entry, right?
so skrelp/meowth + meowth/skrelp isn't a kosher entry

[slow gyro]

We’re killing the world with kindness

We can’t force positivity, we can just encourage

[echo peak]

Ah my apologies then

[slow gyro]

There’s no need to apologize my friend

We’re a community, we’re here to help and support each other

[signal nexus]

y'know, i should probably do a monferno
no one ever does monferno

[slow gyro]

So y’all should support my idea of allowing megas on the contest

[carmine falcon]

did a custom palette for this guy for fun (so I can use it on my rockruff)

[torpid osprey]

the only reason one needs

[cedar quest]

Correct

[torpid osprey]

Rock boys to power

[echo peak]

I'm still calling it Drag-ging Through The Mud if I enter

I'll just need to read the rules closely

[carmine falcon]

me trying to figure out what to do with skrepl's head lump

I think it could work well with like a mask thing

maybe something like this triangle hats

[little cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/don't-make-me-tap-the-sign-simpsons-bus-gif-5399805801037462082

[signal nexus]

it's a cool hat

[little cypress]

||The issues with contests here are no different than any contest anywhere. ||

[echo peak]

I think I have an idea, but if it evolves twice does each stage go into each of the 3 drive folders?

I think I'm gonna try the Skrelp line and Honedge because I had a crazy idea for Dragalge

[kindred valley]

if i'm understanding this correctly you can repeat individual sprites across entries

as long as each pair has 1 evolution separating them, and you don't have duplicate pairs

[signal nexus]

i think it'd be
1: skrelp/honedge + skrelp/doublade
2: skrelp/doublade + dragalge/doublade
3: dragalge/doublade + dragalge/aegislash
if you were doubling-up as much as you could

[echo peak]

It'll probably be just 3 fusions knowing me

If I double up I'll lose my mind

[signal nexus]

then that'd be two entries, i believe 🤔

[echo peak]

Idk then. I'm going to do it my way for right now

[dreamy loom]

I barely understand the rules

[echo peak]

It seems that Aegislash/Dragalge has been made already. Either I do my idea or find something easier

Not sure if that was worthy but it got a laugh out of me lol

[kindred valley]

1. make a not-fully-evolved fusion using skrelp or dragalge
2. evolve one side of the (1) fusion once
3. repeat. you can use fusions in more than one entry if you evolve them differently each time (you can have [skrelp/eevee, dragalge/eevee], [skrelp/eevee, skrelp/jolteon], and [skrelp/eevee, skrelp/glaceon] as three separate entries)

[dreamy loom]

Ouhh

[kindred valley]

gordo are these rules so that we help out the skrelp completion as well as dragalge?

[rich hemlock]

I figured it was going to happen based on the previous contests but I'm still in shambles that I can't use these fellas I made when dragalge was announced

[kindred valley]

make the lampents >:)

[echo peak]

Think I found what I'm making

Considering how well my recent Parasect fusion looked, I have faith in this idea

[topaz quest]

Remember that you can only evolve one mon not two.

So you can do
Paras/skrelp + Paras/dragalge,
parasect/skrelp + parasect/dragalge, paras/skrelp + parasect/skrelp, paras/dragalge + parasect/dragalge

but Not

Paras/skrelp + parasect/dragalge because that’s 2 evos

[signal nexus]

Yeye, basically like how IFA did evos

[dreamy loom]

I was never in IFA

[signal nexus]

Well, kinda like these I did, but with skrelp line instead: #event-general message

[echo peak]

Well shit

Yeah this is gonna suck

[slow gyro]

[torpid osprey]

oh Dang

[slow gyro]

Volcarona’s palette is so good, one of my favorites

[echo peak]

I'm still confused

[little cypress]

That and Scolipede, yep

[slow gyro]

About what? The entries?

[echo peak]

So if I do this, it's be Parasect/Skrelp and Parasect/Dragalge or what?

I guess I can work with that

[slow gyro]

I think this is also fine, I’m not sure, ask Gamr

[echo peak]

I'm just rolling with it at this point

[kindred valley]

no you can only evolve one side one stage for a given pair

[sly shuttle]

[slow gyro]

Oh lol

[kindred valley]

you can do [paras/skrelp, paras/dragalge], then also [paras/dragalge, parasect/dragalge] as two separate entries

but you can't do [paras/skrelp, parasect/dragalge]

[echo peak]

Dammit

[sly shuttle]

And you can use the same paras/Dragalge sprite for both

[echo peak]

Nah, I'm doing one entrant. My mind's fried from these rules

So it'll just be Paras/Dragalge and Parasect/Dragagle right? I keep Dragalge and just evolve the head right?

Hopefully I understand now

And if I don't understand something, just message me so it doesn't take up the entire chat

[limpid sphinx]

@cedar quest hey

#contest-gallery message

steal that name from charlotte

[cedar quest]

this isn't Tombs of Terror though, that was something different

[limpid sphinx]

the wrapped up part u silly

wrapped algae >:)

[cedar quest]

This isn't Yamask though, this is something different

[limpid sphinx]

i mean we can wrap algae right

[echo peak]

I still think Drag-ged Through the Mud is a better name for this.

[limpid sphinx]

theyre so perfect 😭

[limpid sphinx]

wheres the myst tho

[dreamy loom]

were reaults

[echo peak]

The myst left with the Swoobat fusions. Now Dragalge brings the mud

[cedar quest]

The Mud was a referrence to Mudkipster

[echo peak]

Nevermind then. Just trying to make something roll off the tongue that's not "Dragalge Event" or whatever its called

[cedar quest]

Oh there's an actual name to it

I picked up one of the suggestions that I liked already

And changed it

[echo peak]

Eh ok.

Hopefully I understand the rules from my earlier comment

[solid coral]

does that mean " I Don't Actually have a Name for this one so I'll Edit This Later and Totally NOT Forget™" is the name someone suggested then?

[cedar quest]

No, those first two lines are for purposes of a joke

The actual name is Dragging the Finish Line!

[echo peak]

Much better than mine

[mighty stump]

Oh they're pairs that's cool

[limpid sphinx]

"Drag the algae"

damn im so creative wtf

[signal nexus]

What a weird stat spread
I guess it’s a prevo for a Dragon, though

[jade chasm]

finish the line the contest

[limpid sphinx]

finish the line deluxe

[jade chasm]

i did not scroll up

[limpid sphinx]

finish the algae

i desist

[astral niche]

we need a start the line contest , where you actually do one sprite of an entrieely unsprited line

[limpid sphinx]

lol

hard to find i would say

[jade chasm]

going to make gulpin/dragalge and make it sea grapes

[signal nexus]

Evo’s stats, since I’m sharing them anyway

Anyway, I know what I’m gonna do
And if I’m lucky, I’ll be able to use it for IFA as well

[echo peak]

So it seems that these are the ones I'm doing

Parasect is easy but Paras is gonna be hell

[frigid ruin]

dragalge roll

[echo peak]

Oh I got a crazy idea for Dragalge. Trust me

[dense jackal]

I'm curious why you think paras is the harder of the two

[signal nexus]

Bug anatomy vs fucked-up zombie anatomy?

[cedar quest]

That's what this is, in a sense

No stuff from before the announcement, so...

[astral niche]

Unless you add it as a title then it doesn’t count because I say so

[cedar quest]

You got me

For Swoobat, probably next week

[echo peak]

Exactly

[south meteor]

Evo line Skrelp, huh?

I'm gunna watch someone turn in most of the Eevee.

[carmine falcon]

gordo I assume the entries are also being judged for how consistent the line looks?

[cedar quest]

That's a big factor yes

||But consistency isn't necessarily the right thing for some either||

||You don't want to make it feel like too little has changed, especially in later evolutions||

I think I can do a fun balloon

[signal nexus]

wait wait wait hang on what are those things called

[slow gyro]

Which things?

[signal nexus]

gas bladder

or float

[nimble socket]

Rules don’t say no regional forms, so it’s gotta be Alolan Exeggutor

[slow gyro]

Idk if I’ll do that as head or body tho

I made some bases not so long ago I’ve been wanting to use

[idle forge]

I just finished reading the contest announcement

What do ya mean I have to make two entries, I barely have the motivation to make one if even that

[echo peak]

You've got this

I would've started today but my excuse is I was at an anime convention today

[sly shuttle]

The last two contests got +100 entries each
Give the judges a break

i am glad to see i am not the only degenerate here

[steady pasture]

No collabs? Noooo... how am i gonna piggyback off a better spriter 🙁

Not that i intend to participate in this anyways... Dragalge is such a huge pain to sprite and conceptualize

[urban siren]

i like drag but 2 sprites for an entry is a bit hard for me
especially right before my exams

[kindred valley]

i like dragalge
also this is now my spring break :0
-# although "break" is debatable considering this is grad school

this is the top three spriters for drag. noob numbers tbh /lh

[warped isle]

oooh ok

dragalge and skrelp r beyond my skillswt omg

[echo peak]

We've got this fellas. I think with all of our creative minds we can make multiple entrants

[warped isle]

i cant believe i missed woobat

[echo peak]

Competition was pretty high honestly. Amazing sprites in the end but now we're waiting

[kindred valley]

fwiw it helps me to think of dragalge as a funny looking bird

can't help with skrelp though sorry XD

[echo peak]

I feel like I want to at least have one entrant be a body and another be a head but I want to figure out the drive posting and actually make something somehow with Paras/Dragalge

[south meteor]

Here we go, last ditch effort before burning out.

[echo peak]

I think I might have something for Paras now and if I can execute this it'll be great

(Hopefully)

[hardy oxide]

@hollow grove (sorry for the random ping TvT) is it alright if I use your volcarona/yanmega’s color palette in my contests entry? I was looking at how other sprites shaded their wings and yours was really cool so I took a little more inspiration from it than I had planned (if you’re not ok with it, I can just put it in concept art and try something else for the contest ^^)

[echo peak]

Holy crap

[limpid sphinx]

ok this is cool fr

the transparent effect on jojo's volcamega is masterpiece i cant blame u for the inspo XD

Yea, let's not

[little cypress]

And this Teacup variation is ACTUALLY small enough to fit comfortably and completely inside an actual teacup!

[echo peak]

I'm really happy with how turned out so thank you again!

[valid fractal]

yes keep posting dragalges yes yes yes ping me in every one of them

[signal nexus]

i'm getting mixed signals

[mighty stump]

I never know where to talk about this but the new battle backgrounds look amazing!

[tired jay]

Probably #pif-hoenn-discussion

[icy tree]

did the april fools contest from last year ever get results

I was checking for a while but then i stopped checking

[signal nexus]

they'll have something to do with this year's April Fools
but hints are vague

[astral niche]

you guys didn't realized that the april fool part was gettign the results?

[subtle moss]

they'll suddenly drop the results in 3 years

"oh yeah, we had this lying around from 4 years ago"

[cedar quest]

it's been almost 2 months and no one has approached me about wanting to do their own Spritelock yet

[kindred valley]

i thought pory wanted to do one?

[cedar quest]

not that I know of

[kindred valley]

huh. i swear there was someone

[signal nexus]

I guess I could continue mine on stream
If you want me to stop every time I encounter any autogen

[minor garnet]

Hero wanted it no?

[signal nexus]

@slow gyro dis you?

[kindred valley]

oh yeah 😁

i def remember hero talking about this

[rapid knot]

AW SHOOT
I remember what the night version of the pond was missing

[slow gyro]

I wish but I don’t have a job

[rapid knot]

I was gonna add stars, but then my computer started making ominous noises and I forgot what I was doing with it

[slow gyro]

I’ve been doing commissions and they take almost my entire day

[rapid knot]

That sounds like a job

[signal nexus]

Do it on twitch and take donations

[rapid knot]

spend day working
get paid for comissions
not a job
?

[slow gyro]

Kinda, but I don’t get as much money as a regular job, and takes more of my time than a regular job

[rapid knot]

It's still a job
Not a well-paying job, but a job

You can tell people that you're a professional artist now
It is your current profession

[signal nexus]

I wish but I have a job
Hero, but corrected

🤔 this still leaves us absent a spritelocker

Who’s a common fixture in blitzes and prize hunters…

Hang on, lemme do some math

🤔 assuming a full team of six, and assuming all are three-stagers, that would be five sprites for each line, meaning 30 sprites overall

Minimum 6, maximum 30 for Gordo’s style of spritelocke

if I get Golisopod/butterfree, krokorok/Noctowl, and octillery/pawniard done, I’ll be all fresh for another leg of my spritelocke

[echo peak]

Spritelock?

[signal nexus]

Playthrough where your team can only be autogens you sprited yourself

[echo peak]

If my computer wouldn't melt I'd do it

[signal nexus]

Or if you’re me: put everything on max randomness and sprite all autogens you encounter

[echo peak]

I would struggle with that

[signal nexus]

I think I’ve made it to surge

It’s been so long I don’t remember where I am

[cyan gull]

You’d be correct

I said it over the waves during his spritelock, but his hateful ways prevent him from remembering it

[echo peak]

so my first entrant is done, and BOTH for the first entrant go into the first folder yes? and then after that the next entrants go into folder 2 and so on

[signal nexus]

that's what i gathered

[echo peak]

I'm trying to think of a second entrant to do but I'm struggling

originally I was going to do the Eeveelutions but I would LIKE to not be banned from events for that many fusions lol

[signal nexus]

i know carbink bodies for both are autogens

[near horizon]

got my idea for my second & third entries

[echo peak]

tempting but I'll keep looking around

[near horizon]

just need to think if i do a fourth or not

[echo peak]

if not, I have a damn good entrant already and a tiny Dragalge to follow up

[dense jackal]

It says up to 4 entries per person so you don't be need to worry about some secret limit. The limit is public

[echo peak]

I mean you're not wrong but I don't want to go overkill and burn myself out

I think I'll take a crack at the Joltik and Slugma line

[tame egret]

i keep seeing places where i could've put features from the mega

[signal nexus]

do it anyway and have a non-mega variant

[tame egret]

true, but i can't submit the mega variant to the contest even if it looks better

[naive summit]

Gamers give me your best mon pitches for Pride Rush

(We've done Ho-Oh, Sylveon and Minior)

-# (Yes I know we're 3 months out but I'm feeling productive)

[fallen light]

Azuril?

[signal nexus]

klinklang
it's pair of soulmates and the community they've built around themselves

[minor garnet]

I would suggest Swalot as it is a big tradition to wear purple to celebrate the lgbtq+

[fallen light]

bruxish, it’s gotta be done at some point

[minor garnet]

Its purple friday

[fallen light]

it’s got bright colours and makeup

[naive summit]

-# How high would the skill ceiling be if I said Necrozma lol

[minor garnet]

"We have a whopping... 5 sprites this rush!"

[kindred valley]

milotic

[fallen light]

-# U-necrozma would be a challenge, regular would be better

[signal nexus]

i mean i literally suggested klinklang, so

[cedar quest]

Bruxish had Fishmas, and I feel like Bruxish could come off the wrong way maybe????

[fallen light]

Statistically I’ll be getting a pokefan in it whenever

[kindred valley]

uh
colorful water snek

[fallen light]

I frogor that

also fair

[cedar quest]

All good

[minor garnet]

Isnt lurantis also a prideflag color?

[fallen light]

don’t think so? but hai would make sure a lurantis rush got done

[naive summit]

I was thinking regular yeah, looking at the fusions for it a lot have colorful highlights since its.. eyes..? are literal rainbows

[mighty stump]

A lot of pokemon are prideflag colors with the right pride flag

[fallen light]

I think that’s a solid choice tbh

[mighty stump]

Oh boy let me remember what necrozma looks like

[minor garnet]

Pridemonth, the month where we all become dark prisms with rainbow eyes

[signal nexus]

i still think we're at a place where we have too many pokemon in the game for a recent entry to get the love and be successful

[fallen light]

it has a body that has splicey elements so it doesn’t skill gap people, and it has elements that can be more complex

[kindred valley]

pidgeot for the colorful crest it gets in its mega form

[naive summit]

Mega's aren't canon in IF smh

[kindred valley]

it doesn't really work outside of mega tho

[mighty stump]

...YEAH I'D SAY THE SKILL CEILING WOULD BE HIGH

[kindred valley]

oh amaura/aurorus could be fun

[naive summit]

[kindred valley]

i swear i had thoughts on this but i forgor

[signal nexus]

tranzurill would work
small guy, good amount of sprotes already

[fallen light]

it’s not too bad as a body

[naive summit]

but listen there's cool rainbow stuff

[fallen light]

and it’s simple enough to be rushable

[minor garnet]

Well it depends on if you want people to look fond of the rush or not ig

[naive summit]

fair

we did Ho-Oh and people did struggle a bit with that

and he's just a colorful bird

[mighty stump]

Unironically I think UB would be easier

[kindred valley]

yeah but it's a bird with particularly detailed wings so i'd guess that's where the problems ewre

[fallen light]

I find him a lot more difficult to work with personally

[kindred valley]

u-necrozma: rainbow but condensed into one color

[cedar quest]

...Bruxish is like older than Minior, and we did Minior Rush....

[kindred valley]

bruxish would be funny but i fear it would be a bit questionable

[cedar quest]

I said my core reason against Bruxish, but I think that as a reason is.... not good

[signal nexus]

that was without my input

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/eeyup-mlp-my-little-pony-gif-5373831

[cedar quest]

yeye agree, been there said that

hm....

I have a weird idea maybe

[minor garnet]

Oh wait we could do togekiss, for the Dutch pride flag

[cedar quest]

What about Kirlia???

[fallen light]

I like necrozma as an option tbh, I think it would be fun

[naive summit]

Kirlia is an idea

[kindred valley]

so that's why i'm going w either trans mouse rabbit or amaura line

[mighty stump]

Hang on there's been convos for pride mons before and we came up with some nice ones I think I need to rember

[fallen light]

oooohhhh

[jade chasm]

gender

[fallen light]

kirlia would be fun

[mighty stump]

Ooh Maril would be fun!

[kindred valley]

kirlia is interesting

[cedar quest]

I like Kirlia personally

[naive summit]

Won't lie my initial idea was Eevee and maybe the Kanto Eeveelutions but Eevee itself is,,, not really colorful

[minor garnet]

Yeah u suggested it

[signal nexus]

minior was also just recolor with swirly eyes at the simplest
obviously people did more, but still

[mighty stump]

Why Kirlia?

[kindred valley]

gender presentation options

[fallen light]

me making 100 sprites that are all jsut that

[kindred valley]

especially in pif, where gallade is not male-only

[signal nexus]

can be femme and masc

[naive summit]

Could honestly

do the entire Ralts line bodies,,,,

[cedar quest]

Plus here in PIF you can have female Gallades already

[naive summit]

Garde is nearly done, Kirlia and Ralts are pretty high, Gallade is a bit low

[cedar quest]

Doesn't have to be male to evolve w/ Dawn Stone

I think

[minor garnet]

They have less heads done tho

[signal nexus]

PIF has no gender-locked evos

[fallen light]

waoh, that’s a lot of sproots

[naive summit]

lemme calc something hold on

[signal nexus]

garde heads

[kindred valley]

just garde wouldn't make much sense for pride tho imo

[cedar quest]

I like the idea of Kirlia because of like where it is, right at a crossroad with the choice of what it wants to be

[signal nexus]

which makes sense, given how often fusion yeets your gender

[naive summit]

Ralts line bodies has about 498 missing sprites, thats,,,, doable imo

we've done more in a rush p sure

[cedar quest]

Plus... I'm pretty sure there's a prideflag with colors close to it??

[naive summit]

-# we did the entirety of Trevenant once lmao

[mighty stump]

Okay searching spriting discuasion it seems like the one I liked most was Aurorus or Amaura

[cedar quest]

In truth, I'm not familiar with all of them off the top of my head

[fallen light]

I wanna say agender or something

[naive summit]

worth noting Garde is only missing like 30 body sprites lmao damn

[kindred valley]

no it's not agender but it's def out there

[fallen light]

I forget all the colours

[mighty stump]

The dino's sail would be so nice for flags

[kindred valley]

abrosexual

!

[minor garnet]

Doesnt scolipede have the lesbian flag colors?

[cedar quest]

Yeah that's the one

[minor garnet]

I could be tripping

[fallen light]

I have a rainbow Amaura frill

[minor garnet]

I TOLD YOU LURANTIS LOOKED LIKE ONE

[mighty stump]

Watermelon flavored, yummy

[cedar quest]

That's Fomantis

[naive summit]

Kirlia alone is missing 401 for both heads and bodies.

[fallen light]

I think just kirlia would be a good option

[cedar quest]

That's a lot, but we've done larger

[fallen light]

yea

I think it’s doable

[cedar quest]

Your call

[naive summit]

idk I'm kinda leaning more "Ralts line bodies"

[signal nexus]

and i'm willing to reckon half of those are in spritework or the gallery

[fallen light]

the body is quite nice to work with, and the head isn’t too bad

[kindred valley]

i'm team "just kirlia" personally

keep it simpler

[fallen light]

start with just kirlia and then maybe add extra sprites in if needed?

[mighty stump]

I would like to have the ability to make a ralts fam head and not body because I don't really make humanoids, but that's a me problem

[naive summit]

Doing other mon heads is a bit funner because you have more colors to work with, I've found, but hm

-# Also it feels weird to have the entirety of Kirlia done but not prevos or evos? from a gameplay perspective, but maybe thats just me lol

[minor garnet]

It would also be mad funny if kirlia gets done before gard

[naive summit]

middle mons are funny

[cedar quest]

I'd do heads before bodies in this case though

If you were gonna do like, just the Ralts line as a whole

[fallen light]

I mean a lot of garde is done already and ralts is decently done

[naive summit]

Just heads has been so incredibly boring in the past though

[fallen light]

just gallade that’d hold it back

[naive summit]

except for like, Minior

[cedar quest]

And Ralts Body and Kirlia Body isn't?

[mighty stump]

The middle child is usually forgotten let them have a win

[naive summit]

working with only one color palette for the entire rush is boring

[mighty stump]

I can say this as team spheal with sealeo

[naive summit]

From a spriting perspective? yeah, I'd get to make my whole line match

[fallen light]

I personally would prefer 1 mon head and body over a whole line

[naive summit]

I love making lines lol

but we have 3 months to figure it out ig

[cedar quest]

Wouldn't be just one palette if you do just Kirlia

[cedar quest]

More like 2

[signal nexus]

surprisingly no, now that i look 🤔

[naive summit]

Kirlia heads? yeah it would?

Bodies no, heads yah

[fallen light]

poor middle evos

[cedar quest]

Yeah I meant Kirlia as a whole

[naive summit]

I'd rather focus bodies than heads

[mighty stump]

I actually want to make a team spheal event at some point that rewards more points for sealeo specifically

[cedar quest]

oops wrong comment

[naive summit]

Funfact I was also considering Kecleon bc it can change color but also its only missing like 80 sprites lol

[mighty stump]

Yeah lolololol

[cedar quest]

One day that number will be bigger

[signal nexus]

i mean. it's completable

[fallen light]

I like the rushes where there is an incentive for both sides, like how the Luvdisc rush had a body comp open at a certain percentage of completion of bodies etc.

[mighty stump]

I loved luvdisc rush, I love feesh

[naive summit]

I haven't hosted a rush since last Pride Rush so I am, rusty at things lmao

[plain wing]

I had joined at the start of the Luvdisc rush and I had no clue what was going on

[naive summit]

Pory n RealThree took over the Halloween Rush last year

[fallen light]

Luvdisc rush has made me hate the feesh

too many feesh, not enough time

[naive summit]

poor feesh

[mighty stump]

I know we have very underatandable hesitance for bruxish but if we get bruxish rush I will be very excited

[fallen light]

I spent so long making them

[signal nexus]

i accidentally joined the buneary rush when i became a spriter

[fallen light]

my tuppence would be that either necrozma or kirlia sound like a fun time, but I personally would prefer to focus on 1 mon head and body rather than a line of all bodies or vice versa

[slender thunder]

i accidentally joined the sylveon rush i saw everyone making sylveons so i wanted to make one too not knowing there was a rush

[naive summit]

Only og spriters remember the unofficial Duskull rush that kickstarted it as a concept

was literally just me in spriter general going "yo guys what if we finished Duskull heads by Halloween wouldn't that be cool"

[signal nexus]

oh, did it start like the togeplumes?

[fallen light]

I wasn’t around I don’t think

[slender thunder]

oh yeah duskull had every sprite complete

before they added new ones

[naive summit]

yeah

That was back when I actually sprited.

Good times.

-# Ignore the 4 Mew fusions I made the other day

[slender thunder]

at least it gives an opportunity to give people a chance to make a sprite for mons that have been in a rush without having to make an alt

[naive summit]

someday we'll do Dusknoir heads.

Someday.

[slender thunder]

gives an opportunity to give a chance holy unnecessary words

[slender thunder]

oh I didn't know dusclops was so far too

[naive summit]

I think we did it for another rush lmao

[slender thunder]

i just realised there is only 2 unsprited core minior fusions left

and they could be used for the current contest

[plain wing]

Yeah bc of the Minior pride rush

[fallen light]

I meant to clean them up a month ago, but forgot

[echo peak]

I could make that as my third/fourth entrant but I already have bangers planned

[fallen light]

I did make mains for all the alted miniors tho

now I jsut gotta finish my 3rd minior pokefan

[mighty stump]

Wait there's one more mon for pride consideration... Wingul aro ace rush

[fallen light]

I only have 7 pokefans, people will think I have too much of a life

[subtle moss]

I only have 2 so far

working on like 5 more though, but slowly

[mighty stump]

I have none!

[plain wing]

Me too!!!

[fallen light]

mostly I’ve got simple ones, 2 mime jr, 2 minior, Luvdisc, Amaura and swirlix

nothing that’s too bad to work with

working on 3rd mime and minior and a tropius one

-# cause collabs count so I’m already most of the way there

[mighty stump]

https://tenor.com/view/xluna-high-five-gif-25422702

[subtle moss]

Mine are Carvanha and Sharpedo

I'm working on one more of both, and one each for the whole honedge line

[fallen light]

I just wanna become as blue as possible without winning an event

[subtle moss]

Also Sableye, but I'm not too far along on that one

[signal nexus]

i'm working on two, but i'm not even halfway through either

[slender thunder]

also anyone feel free to take this im not participating in this contest

[fallen light]

and I’m like 100 off of sprite dex, so that’ll be a whole, and I only just hit 500

I might if I have time

-# prolly not for contest tho

[signal nexus]

dragalor
sounds like a real pokemon name

[slender thunder]

sounds like a kirby boss

[subtle moss]

That's Magalor fused with the dragon boss

[fallen light]

I’m hoping to hit 650 sprites by the end of the year, so just gotta get ~120 done I think

so not too bad

[signal nexus]

that encouraged me to check mine, and i have 695 gallery posts

[cedar quest]

I mean, that'd be pretty likely this year, if we don't do Spritober

Dusknoir Heads

[plain wing]

Yeah I've totally done that many

[fallen light]

yeah, I’m at exactly 530

[naive summit]

I've been at exactly 1 Mimikyu fusion away from Pokefan for about....

[fallen light]

more on daena cause collabs

[fallen light]

that’s still a ton

[naive summit]

going on 2 years

someday I'll make my 50th Mimikyu lol

[fallen light]

I just make a lot of quick splices tbh

[naive summit]

I either scratch sprite or edit off of bases

-# Depends on the vision

[signal nexus]

🤔 well, there's one missing mimikyu head on daena
-# prolly already in spritework

[naive summit]

damn when did that get done lmao

[plain wing]

Halloween rush

[naive summit]

oh.

was that last year's lmao

[fallen light]

yea

I think so

[naive summit]

I blanked out for last year's, had stuff going on

[plain wing]

That's fair

[signal nexus]

huh!

so yeah, windsock up for grabs, @naive summit

[naive summit]

Will consider

most of my previous ones were Mimikyu bodies admittedly lol

[signal nexus]

oh, well there are still a gazillion of those left

hell, you can even double-up with Lebanne's contest

[mighty stump]

Someone sneak into frog's house and add cherubi so my best mimikyu and tropius fusion can be legal

[plain wing]

Cherubi added next to the game trust

[signal nexus]

lies it'll be barbaracle

[mighty stump]

Both trust

Don't ask me what theme goes well for both cherries and barnacles just make it work

[signal nexus]

salazzle as well

[gaunt lava]

Next mon is Mothim, just mothim

[mighty stump]

The famous starter trio, cherubi, binacle, and salandit

[slender thunder]

no burmy or the evolution

the famous starter trio: cherubi, binacle, salandit and mothim

[signal nexus]

i'm okay with that
no need to worry about wormadam bodies

[mighty stump]

Oh no we'd have to make four sprites for burmy...

[slender thunder]

not for burmy, but yes for wormadam

burmy all have the same type

wormadams change type

[naive summit]

Binacle, Cherubi and Vanilluxe.

Give us the twoheaded mons we deserve.

[signal nexus]

mothim's the route 1 bird

[gaunt lava]

I'm still mad we didn't get Lycanroc dusk

[naive summit]

[mighty stump]

Okay but that would be a nightmare for how we determine head and body mon

[signal nexus]

i'm mad we yeeted Dusk for a reasonable reason but still decided to add in the cocoons and the mathrats

[slender thunder]

wait i just realised does Shinx/Skitty make shitty

[mighty stump]

Fair

[signal nexus]

hang on you missed something very funny

[slender thunder]

but those are different pokemon

[gaunt lava]

Yeah silcoon/cascoon are exactly the same for bodies

[slender thunder]

latias and latios and plusle and minun are too

Gen 3 has a lot of those

[gaunt lava]

I cant wait for 2030 megas and we have to distinguish Mega Latias and Mega Latios fusions

[mighty stump]

Did gen 3 kickstart double battles? Maybe that's why

[echo peak]

honestly Cherubi would make really cute fusions

[mighty stump]

It would!

[echo peak]

idk why but my first instinct was Cherubi/Roserade

might actually make that now

[slender thunder]

I forgot about this feature

I wonder if any of my sprites are on there

[slender thunder]

yes

[mighty stump]

Well at least it makes sense now

[formal river]

wait 2 missing duskull somebody forgot to send theirs... ill do them

[subtle moss]

were some alted, maybe?

[naive summit]

I'm like 90% certain they're Skrelp and Dragalge.

I could be wrong

[signal nexus]

you are wrong

[naive summit]

huh

OH

sprite removals,,,

[formal river]

nope went to check the 2 are porygon z and stunfisk both had originally from scrafty but nobody did new ones

[naive summit]

probably

some completed mons did get hit with those

[formal river]

yup

yeah and i remember to cover for raikou and some others but missed this 2

[merry mica]

shitty mention 🔥🔥🔥

also remind me to redo my skitty wailord

[little cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/moira-rose-gif-18488453

[signal nexus]

redo your skitty/wailord
there, i helped

[formal river]

Redo skitty/wailord

Also did the 2 duskulls that where missing migth do dusclops but probably not

[echo peak]

I'm glad I looked at the rules of this event again. I didn't make a folder for my first entrant and I am almost ready to post my second later today

Not really sure what would've happened if I didn't make a folder but doesn't really matter honestly.

[white wagon]

I just realized paya's rendition is still alive!

[mighty stump]

Live execution of you streamed to event-general

[echo peak]

I'll... pass on that

is there any alternatives?

[mighty stump]

Uhhhhh, team spheal has a ball pit

[echo peak]

hmmm....

[rigid abyss]

or join barboachs mud pile

[cedar quest]

It just makes things easier for me, in truth if a person only does one entry it doesn't matter

[echo peak]

I know

[echo peak]

Wait what?

[echo peak]

Not sure what that entails but ok

[plain wing]

He is angry and he is in mud

[signal nexus]

prolly just easier to keep the entries together

[signal nexus]

mud wresting with the barboach

[fallen light]

damn, you stole my photo for street cred

[echo peak]

second entrants done!

[sharp mountain]

What's the current event list, anyways?

[cedar quest]

@echo peak I think you got the wrong idea of what you were supposed to do submit

You put your stuff inside of the example folder

[echo peak]

so take them out of the 1 & 2 folders?

[cedar quest]

Yeah

[echo peak]

on it

[cedar quest]

I think you can see where to put 'em

[echo peak]

there

[cedar quest]

all good now 👍

[echo peak]

confusing stuff aside what's done is done and now time to see if I can make a third entrant

actually scratch that, I gotta Prize Hunters fusion to work on. hop in to those who aren't participating! (and yes this is a shill for people to join it)

[potent sorrel]

New event im running! If you're interested sign up, it'll be fun

[sly shuttle]

Sharing this kind of stuff would probably be better in #general or #spriter-general

This channel has a pretty specific use

[mighty stump]

Are you still allowed to make pc box art and submit it to the game?

[signal nexus]

🤔 i don't see why not
is there a team for it?

[mighty stump]

There is!

[cyan gull]

Yes you are

[potent sorrel]

you should advertise my event in #recurring-events
-# not actually but shhh please make me Mime Jr tho

[near horizon]

well, the sprite is a splice between a little girl and mew x)

-# like in FMA with the doggo

[slow gyro]

yooo those are awesome

i love how grumpy the skrelp looks

[near horizon]

tommorow i'll work on the evo of this little dude

[kindred valley]

any updates on the bats?

[echo peak]

I wonder who the top 5 are gonna be (again)

[slow gyro]

Hopefully me
I’m hopeful on my Kanga

[kindred valley]

kanga bat?

i think theyre talkin about bat not the sea dragon yet XD

Pure peak so far

[little cypress]

@cedar quest in the spirit of your recent message, I HIGHLY encourage you listen to the JPop album ⊿ (Triangle) by Perfume. There are some bangers on there

[echo peak]

probably my final entrant is done.

[slow gyro]

@cedar quest Bat Results when?

[cedar quest]

Soon! Judging is done, today is finalizing our spotlights

So... probably tomorrow???

[quartz pebble]

Hey people rpg participant here, if anyone accepts bribes I'd be willing to offer my services of dex entries for mons of your choosing as well as well high quality "𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕔𝕖𝕡𝕥 𝕒𝕣𝕥" in exchange for support sprites

[signal nexus]

What you need?

[quartz pebble]

Check out the support sprite document in the recurring message, all the categories are there

Have you been to the Concept Craze thread yet by chance? Now that the Elusive Dex event is over, that's the next closest thing, unless you have people MAKING sprites for the Sprite/Dexdoku (but that's incredibly difficult in such a short time frame)

[quartz pebble]

Yknow that's one of the events I've never really looked at can't lie

[little cypress]

It's a good place to start since people are making concept art and spriting, but never the same for both

[quartz pebble]

I've just got into spriting I've just been going into the mini events (and now the rpg )

[quartz pebble]

I mean I'll have a look, I don't really wanna invade other events though and start asking them for sprites

[willow current]

#recurring-events message so how this works? (sorry im new to this stuff ;v;)

[signal nexus]

that's a spriting event. you can read more here: #1210021946105004052

[cedar quest]

oh right! Bat results! I gotta do those!

Uhh gimme like an hour

[echo peak]

oh boy

salt aside, all four of my entrants for Dragging The Finish Line are done and posted

[signal nexus]

Given results are imminent, i would like to remind everyone that a score of 5 = as good as a gamefreak sprite
so anything higher than 5 is a good score
please keep this in mind when evaluating the judge sheet

[echo peak]

I'll take whatever I got for the Swoobats I made honestly

[signal nexus]

-# also the word is vein, Gordo. the phrase is "in the same vein"

[slow gyro]

Reminder

I already have my four entries for the Dragalge contest but I might do more sprites and then choose my favorites

[cedar quest]

words are hard

[cerulean prawn]

Uhh judge names in the sheet aren't censored

[cedar quest]

I never learn do I?

[cerulean prawn]

also omg yay another second!

congrats @rough kindle

[echo peak]

wow I did shitfuck terrible

but congrats to y'all.

[echo peak]

well earned

[cedar quest]

The roles and stuff will be a bit later

Neither of my perster people are online rn to do it

Actually Saph just came on it seems, but still

[slow gyro]

You forgot to add the sprite I asked you to add to the drive

You just added the funny name to my team but not the sprite

[cedar quest]

oh

oops

[slow gyro]

Well next time I’ll make sure to post them in time

[cedar quest]

fml

I hate the 11 ruling

so much

[minor garnet]

You didnt change the names btw

[cedar quest]

im going to bed

fuck this

[minor garnet]

Nvm

I GOT A SPOTLIGHT

SWOOHOO

[limpid sphinx]

it was a funny joke ngl

[mighty stump]

Congrats everyone!

[echo peak]

i'm glad this is over

[mighty stump]

Can't believe woobat was disqualified I mean it's woobat for the woobat contest

[minor garnet]

It specified to use woobat

Also I put my name on the sheet didnt I?

[echo peak]

I can understand my placements with the feedback. not like I'm fighting gods with a twig or anything🧂

[minor garnet]

Could someone check if I did

[cedar quest]

There is no Woobat ( ) team

[minor garnet]

Ahhhhh

[minor garnet]

I put myself as funny man

Idk why

[echo peak]

can the next event be split between those with intense spriting skills and those who just want to have fun next time or something?

[signal nexus]

could participate without entering 🤔 was it... Spheal who wanted to do something like that?

[sly shuttle]

I did that with BtB

[minor garnet]

But thats team Swoobat ()

[cedar quest]

We just had 4 contests in a row - I think it's time for a break

[kindred valley]

yeah

[echo peak]

keep that in mind for the future bro

[minor garnet]

NO

[sly shuttle]

If you want to have fun, you can just make the sprites

[kindred valley]

maybe we can get april fools 2025 results during that break

[limpid sphinx]

we had that conversation so many times XD

[echo peak]

I don't doubt it but it feels unfair with some people entering

it's guaranteed winning for them or top 10-20 so...

but me acting like a baby won't change shit

[kindred valley]

we've had this conversation multiple times too...

[limpid sphinx]

XD

[echo peak]

whatever

[hollow grove]

We love talking here

[limpid sphinx]

i mean not saying is a bad idea

i tried to brainstorm stuff for this on the past

but is really hard to make work in a fair way i mean

[hollow grove]

Good job everyone, so many lovely entries

[fickle iron]

i kinda disagree with this but i wont elaborate lol

[limpid sphinx]

how we separate it? contest winners and non winners? but theres ppl very skilled that never won, ok so
podium winners and never placed in podium? but then one of these gonna win and then they gonna have to be moved to the other cattegory?

hard to separate lol

[echo peak]

we can figure it out

[cerulean prawn]

Even the people who do really well are still also entering for fun

[mighty stump]

It was me who wanted something like that yeah

[cerulean prawn]

One group I was in had three levels which people assigned themselves to, then if the judges thought they were too good for their group they'd move them up

Maybe something like that

[mighty stump]

Also no one is a garaunteed winner

[limpid sphinx]

and then we gonna be judging ppl skills and idk if i feel like that is a nice thing to do?

[minor garnet]

People would complain

[limpid sphinx]

like saying directly oh these arent good enough

[echo barn]

and nobody is owed a win just because they entered

[echo peak]

just ignore me, I'm being the event server crybaby

[cerulean prawn]

What I mean is literally anybody can assign themselves to the top group

[echo barn]

you want to win an event? enter a smaller event or work on getting better

[minor garnet]

I am legally owned a win when I enter

[mighty stump]

Anyway I want to shout out these sprites, they're very cool and I love them

[cerulean prawn]

but the bottom group is a bit more strictly regulated

[cinder stag]

you got spotlight so

[signal nexus]

fun gang section who joins the collage but not the judgement

[minor garnet]

That is for this contest

Next one is a win

Trust

[cerulean prawn]

The goodra is so cute

[mighty stump]

Yeah that's exactly what I wanted

[signal nexus]

i recall someone won spritedoku because they were the only entrant

[minor garnet]

This is true

[limpid sphinx]

we could change the "spotlight" for a "collage" thing and then people can submit their entries in a different drive file for the collage? so we could separate the ones that want to be judged from the ones that dont?

that could works

[signal nexus]

this too. people keep thinking ntm and hero.drawing sweep all the contests, but apparently ntm has only won once and Hero's only won a speed spriter

[limpid sphinx]

ntm won sableye mini contest a while ago

[echo barn]

the problem is that people STILL want to be judged, because if they aren't judged they can't win. they just want to win

[limpid sphinx]

but yeah i can see the point

[kindred valley]

again. visual community meta is NOT the same as contest "meta"!!

[signal nexus]

ah, mb

corrected

[limpid sphinx]

no what i meant was about people sayin that would like to join the fun but not being judged

like spheal

[echo barn]

you can just. join. and not look at the result

[limpid sphinx]

was a separate topic XD

[signal nexus]

that's why i think the collage is good idea
especially if the collage is done in such a way that the sprites are interacting with each other and the background image

[echo barn]

unless you make the podium you won,t know what you scored if you don't open the sheet

[mighty stump]

No one harass NTM or Hero or any other spriter you're jealous of, this is a collaborative server and we all help each other thrive and learn. Someone making good sprites doesn't detract from what you're making.

[mighty stump]

Yeah I really really want collages!

[limpid sphinx]

i like the collage idea ngl

[signal nexus]

too lazy to dig up the suggestion thread where i said smth like "Instead of getting mad someone else made a baller sprite, go chat them up and ask for tips!"

[limpid sphinx]

maybe not always cuz i like the spotlights too haha but we can do one of each or something

[limpid sphinx]

that was what i was doing a while ago btw

[mighty stump]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[echo barn]

collage of everything would be fun but unless you have an automated tool it would take a long time to compile like 200 sprites together

[limpid sphinx]

i asked cristata so many tips about spriting lolol spent a lot of time trying to learn

[sly shuttle]

Snrasha has one of those

[echo peak]

I'm sorry. I'm gonna blow off some steam.

[limpid sphinx]

if u guys search about me i only did splices for like a gooooood while lol

i did like 300 splices before starting to do custom stuff and trying to learn a bit more about pixel art
