Title: Background Blitz: June 21 - July 5
Post by: Ozwalled on Mon 21/06/2004 20:01:35
-TOPIC-
Huge Barfight: The Aftermath
You've seen an action movie or two, right? Even some with some fighting in them? Well, one of the popular places for brawls that I can think of is at the bar (or pub or whatever).

What I want to see is what the drinking establishment looks like the morning AFTER all heck broke loose and it saw its biggest barfight ever.

The bar can be from any time period or setting (past, present, future... contemporary, fantasy, sci-fi... whatever).

-PARAMETERS-
Colours: 256 or less
Size: 320x240

You can easily reduce that to 256 colors..

I like the car BTW. That actually happened in a town near where I live..

Greetings, new guy here.

I decided to take a shot at the challenge.Ã,  I welcome any criticism or advice, as I'm pretty new at this and by no means an artist.Ã,  Let me know what you think!

SierraFreak - I think that's fantastic!Ã,  I'm looking forward to seeing you in the Games in Production board soon ...

- love the Jim Beam poster on the back wall
- the dart board might look better if you pixel it (it looks like a shrink-down to me??)
- nice blue cup ... I love when folks include that in the BG!

Great stuff!

Thanks for the compliments.  :)  Yep, the dart board is a scaled down image.  I tried to draw one, pixel by pixel, but just couldn't get it right.  So I found one online and made it 20 pixels wide.  I was thinking of making the dartboard four or five colors so it would match the rest of the room.

Amazing - that IS a Jim Beam poster.  I found that online, too, and scaled it.  I thought it would be a nice touch.  I also thought that I should clutter up the walls with posters and picture frames, but I thought that it might make it too busy.

I thought that the blue cup was appropriate given that I'm still in tutorial mode myself.

I'm really psyched about making a game.  First, I'll need to think up something to make a game about, and then I'll be on a roll.

Well, voting's open (so if you have a last minute entry, like I did last time to win, now would be the time to send it in).

And though I really like all three of the entries a lot, I have to go with SierraFreak's., mostly because it best captured the pure bedlam that I'd hoped for.

SierraFreak all the way!

I loved the style Privateer Puddin' had but it didn't have enough damage or bedlam in it. so  Sierra Freak gets my vote!

well i went on this

'What I want to see is what the drinking establishment looks like the morning AFTER all heck broke loose and it saw its biggest barfight ever.'

The morning after? the cleaner comes in and cleans! :p

Thanks very much for the votes, guys!  I was trying for maximum damage.  I wanted to add some more, too, but I'm not sure what else I could have done in there.  I was thinking of collapsed ceilings or possibly a giant hole in the floor.

So what happens with the contest now?  I'm new at this.

I think I'll wait a bit (like, another day) and "declare" voting to be over, at which time the new winner can start the next Sprite Jam at some point.

At least that's what I was told last time...

Congrats to Sierrafreak, even though the two other entries were very nice, too (liked yours alot, Puddin'... I'm really liking your style lately). Best of luck to everyone next time around.  ;D

Thanks to everyone for the votes.  I'm glad you all liked my style.

Okay, so now do I set up a new background blitz thread, picking a topic from the suggested topics thread?

You start the next thread ... but you can choose any topic you want (or one from the suggestion thread).Ã,  It's up to you.

And congratulations :)
