I was walking to work today when I stumble into a very weird event happening in this empty lot!
A "building" was appearing and changing at every micro second! 8-0 It was so amazing the shapes and images inside, that I took my camera out and started shooting as many pictures as I could. I'm really looking forward to see those pictures as they come from the laboratory! I honestly have no idea of what I captured on film! (wrong)

Here's a clean shape:


Rules:
They can NOT be rotated 90, 180, 270 degrees.
Shape can NOT be flipped horizontally or/and vertically.
Shape can NOT be scaled.
Shape outline CAN be coloured.
Shape CAN be animated. (you get 1 extra point! (nod) ).


Trophies
      
Participation



Deadline is September 12 14th 2016. (2 days extension!) :)

There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Blondbraid


No, I'm not that hungry, and I'm perfectly capable of thinking about things other than food.
It's not like I imagine food everywhere I go. Why do you ask? (roll)

Mandle

Hahahaha! So awesome!

Especially if taken in the scale of the shape image including the wall!

Danvzare

I want to eat that building sized sandwich.
It looks so delicious! :-D

Cassiebsg

Wow! First pic has already come from the lab, and what an amazing building! 8-0



Good job! Keep them coming! (nod)
...
Uhm... don't know why but I could eat a mega sandwich just about now... odd. (laugh)

Well I am hungry after seeing that!

Great theme Cassiebsg! :-D My entry is on its way (laugh)

DBoyWheeler

Decided to make a quick entry.

This is what I like to call "one eff-ed up Pokemon Center"!



What were the construction workers on when they made this?  Probably something semi-legal, at best.

Remember, kids--crack is whack!  Say no to drugs.  And other Reagan-era slogans.

Cassiebsg

Wow! Another picture come back from the lab!


"if you build it, they will come..." (laugh)
At least this one seems to have a door! (nod) Nice one!

Danvzare

And I'm willing to bet Pokemon GO doesn't recognize it as a Pokemon Center either.

Mandle

This is a WIP:

Yeah...I cannot get Gravity Falls out of my damn head so this is the way I'm trying to do so:

[IMGZOOM]http://i64.tinypic.com/11ry9vq.png[/IMGZOOM]

What I am doing at the moment is looking at an image in my browser of the Mystery Shack and trying to draw it in pixel-art...I'm not copy/pasting any images or colours...I'm trying to do my best to eyeball the amazing tones of colour of the show, and also trying to build the Mystery Shack within the limited space of this colouring ball...

Both colour and drawing excercises are intended by me as educational experiences for myself...

But I'm out of time tonight, and have no idea if I can complete this entry in time...

So...here's the WIP...

Cheers!

Cassiebsg

It's looking great Mandle! (nod)
Hope you find the time to add more to it! :-D

Mandle

DAMN!!! Actually drawing pixel-art from scratch is HARD!!!

I spent an hour or so today updating my entry:

SOOOO much fun though, even though I probably should have been working on other stuff:

[IMGZOOM]http://i63.tinypic.com/34zd9jt.jpg[/IMGZOOM]

Cassiebsg

Looking great! (nod)

And yeah, it is, that's why I normally lose my patience with it and then when the fun is no longer there, I give up and just flood fill... (roll) Which normally results in a nice little bit detailed and the rest sucks. (laugh)

That is great AnasAbdin (you even took in consideration that's a corner lot ;) )! (nod)



PS - Added trophies to the 1st post. :-D

Yikes! That sprite looks creepy when added to the photo  8-0

Danvzare

That is slightly disturbing.
Although what's even more disturbing, is how large those people must be. :shocked:

Blondbraid

Looks nice, Love the spinning effect!

It reminds me a bit of The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy as well. :)

Mandle

It reminds me of The Dark Tower by Stephen King:

Wait, The Dark Tower is supposed to be humorous?
I should really read it then. (nod)

It's not a comedy, but it does have many moments of dark humour, like most of King's books...

VampireWombat

I'm actually reminded of a sci fi movie called Millennium.

Small update:

[IMGZOOM]http://i67.tinypic.com/308d26r.png[/IMGZOOM]

I'm not sure if anyone can parse the new addition as a giant goat's head though...It might look like something completely different and need some work...

It looks like a giant goat's head to me. Then again, I've watched the show.

Tabata

  Very interesting ideas/entries so far.
It is always surprising for me how much different ways one can go to use a shape that at first you have no clue how to be filled.


Here's a bit of background info about mine:
I confess also to be one of those that are heavily influenced by Stephen Kings stories - but not this time  (wrong)

It started by thinking about placing the start/stop place for timetravellers into the shape with a big advertising billboard on top.
So I started with a kind of 'Timetunnel' but at last the shape didn't work for the billboard to my liking and reminded me more of a boat.
That was the time to add a bit of 'Thrill Seekers' who can do their sightseeing tour in bigger groups at once by ship.

Now I would be able to let some people walk in the ship, looking out of a window and coming through the tunnel to get invisible when reaching the frame of the shape (because of their bracelet) ... the ideas didn't stop entering my brain ... - that was the reason for me to stop working on my entry and upload it - or it would take me endlessly for all to be done. So I uploaded it (and forgot to correct some errors that are now still in).  (roll)

It's nice to see people talking and thinking about my entry - Thanks guys!

Cassiebsg

Oh, my God! 8-0
This is amazing! I must have pressed the movie button for a second! (nod)



Awesome! :-D

Thanks Cassie. Did you spot the house?

A dressed up illuminati guy jumping on the roof of a decaying mistery shack. :shocked:
Where is this picture going to end?

Yes, yes I did. :-D Either it's an ant house, or very very far away. ;)

I'm working on something. Hopefully I'll be finished in a day or so. It doesn't really fit the theme, but what the hell.

Edit: Just saw AnasAbdin entry....freaking hilarious. Great entries everyone.

That's great :-D
Just let me know if anyone needs an extension of a day or 2. (nod)

Nicky I demand you take your entry to the next level and start making a game out of it. I expect a GiP thread soon. 'kay?(nod)

Oh, holy crap! While trying to post this simple emoticon I accidentally hit a hotkey to open my Start menu and then somehow clicked on my GIMP shortcut in there while trying to close the menu and opened up GIMP instead...

I REFUSE to bow to such obvious omens that I should stay up late tonight and finish my entry: I must sleep!

So please: Extension until Wednesday PLEEEEAAAASSSEEE...

Extended until 14th September by popular request. ;)

NickyNyce, what is wrong with your sprite? I can't get it open in Corel without it behind all scrambled? 8-0 What kind of wizardy is this?

EDIT: Okay, solved it by opening it in paint and saving... (wtf)



* Cassiebsg remembers going to see this at the movies... and walking home... alone... looking suspicious all around... 8-0

NickyNyce

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing Cassiebsg. I need another paint program other than ms paint. Poor AnasAbdin had to stop production on his game in order to help me post the picture with the coloring ball cut out. So get ready to wait a little longer for his game because of me.

I'll check out Corel. I'm still driving with square wheels.

VampireWombat

Creamy - You think the Xenomorphs are cute, but Junior gives you the creeps? H.R. Giger must be spinning in his grave.

Cassiebsg - At least you find Junior to be cute. Of course his mommy might not take well to his having been woken...

Yeah those 3 nano seconds were so precious :P from now on anyone asks me what's taking me so long to finish a game I'll send them to you Nicky (laugh)

Dog Rat

Ok, after lurking a lot, I decided to register and post something.
I'm not very good at drawing, but I like doing it.
Anyway, I was really boring and made this Dino thing.



VampireWombat

Dog Rat - well, at the least you managed to do 3 things. Your name has made me think of chihuahuas. And your entry makes me think of an episode of the Tick and Reptar from Rugrats.

Mandle

Thanks for the extension Cassie...

And we also got one more excellent entry out of it in the meanwhile from Dog Rat!!! (I love how he made the "Dino Thing" look like it was walking! Very charming!

Oh...yeah...also I got my entry done finally:

[IMGZOOM]http://i67.tinypic.com/1tah04.png[/IMGZOOM]

I didn't manage to squeeze quite as much Gravity Falls content into the space as I would have liked to have...But this is the limit of my pixel-art skills at the moment...

I'm proud to say though that I never resorted to copy/paste or ripping a colour from a screenshot: Everything was drawn by hand...well...mouse...and all colours were chosen manually while eyeballing some screenshots from the show...

It was a great educational experience that I will probably never repeat...But a hell of a lot of fun!!!

Cheers again Cassie for both the contest and the extension!

EDIT: Oh, and if the entry needs a title:

WEIRDMAGEDDON

Cassiebsg

Wow Two late photos just come back from the lab! :-D



Great dino! And welcome to the forum! (nod)
* Cassiebsg is secretly glad that this seems to be a baby dino with no teeth! (laugh)
Oh wait! Does that baby have a beard! 8-0



Just WOW Mandle! 8-0
Well done and well worth the waiting! (nod)

I'll open the ballots tomorrow when I return from work and have some time to post. Until then... I'll accept any late entry. ;)

I'm proud to have placed amongst the winners, but at the end of the day, I really had just a ton of fun making my entry, and that's why we do these contests in AGS...

Maybe one day I'll actually get my profile trophy bar sorted properly...But the character limits in AGS forums make it hard...
