Adventure Game Studio

Ever since I was a kid I have had a passion for platforming games. Wich is why I decided to let this Sprite Jam have the topic:
Enemies in 2d platforming games

Rules:

• No coulour limit
• No size limit
• No background required (but you can of course add one if you want to)
• If you do add a background, you still have to post the sprite without said background

There will be trophies ;D They will be added when I have the time to make them.
Found time ;D

btw. Is it called platforming games? I've never heard anyone say it in English :P. If not and you don't know what I'm talking about what I mean is games like Super Mario, Super Metroid, Abe's Oddysee/Exodus, Sonic, Noitu Love, Knytt, Metal Slug.. That kind of stuff.


Anyway, Good Luck And Have Fun :D

Inspired by these great Indy sptrites posted recently, my entry is Biff the Bouncer nazi, the real from Indy and the Last Crusade.

Even with his 30ies-untypical hairdo, the rank stripes on his trousers and his sweaty shirt. I also wanted to draw a little tatoo (however that is spelled :P ) on his arm, but I replaced it with a nazi armlet.

Edit: ONLY in MS Paint!

NIce entry NsMn! I suppose you're not hating me anymore ;)

Anyway, seeing that I'm staying home sick today I had some time to make trophies :D Here they are:

Let's hope this will spice things up, keep 'em coming folks!

I never participated in any competitions of AGS community before, so can I ask,
1) does anyone can enter?
2) is this competition is limited to 1 sprite, or can I draw several (of same theme or different)?

PS. Always loved to draw monsters, that's why I got interested :)

Wizard: Yes, anyone can enter and a lot of people post more than one sprite..

This is also my first time entering a competition, unless you count the MS Paint game.

I'm only just starting to get into pixel art, but this is what I got...

It turned out a little more pink than I would have liked, but I don't think it's that bad for a first attempt.

I think I'm getting better at this. :)

I'm having to upload these onto facebook, and unfortunately that puts them into JEPG format. :(

Those are some nice entries wonkyth :D, you can upload them as PNGs  *here* (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/upload/upload.html). ;)

It's Indy kicking the german mechanics nazi ass, but you'd be stupid not to see that. I drew Indy for good measure, i think he looks lovely and manly.

Tremble before the badger patrol!

I'm sorry the break it to you 'loomie' but that has nothing on my entry.

A 1950's superhero themed platform game.
Tremble before the level 2 boss (imagine what the level 3 boss will look like!)

Hey, Corel/PS users, not fair!  :D

Bah, what the heck...
MS Paint/Paint.NET Pixelart strikes back:

I name it Cybernetic Huntress with her Cybernetic Wolf. Or is it Tetradactyl Shark? Who knows...

Awesome entries guys :D :D :D Thanks for entering :)

I didn't post just to say that actually, I wanted to say that I'm ending the comp at exactly 21.00 forum time (the time on the forums when you're not logged in) on the 12th. Any entry after that won't be valid.

Actually I just wanted to post anything since I just changed my avatar, but you don't have to know that!

I just had to animate it too :P

This looks kind of wonky because I animated it with flash ;)

Nice.
I so wish that had been in Keen Dreams! ;D

Ha-ha, nice one :)
Reminds me of Chipolino. What's coming next? Signore Pomodoro with large bazooka?  :D

Thanks! :D

QuoteWhat's coming next? Signore Pomodoro with large bazooka?

More like General Patata with his soldiers carring spud guns ;)

It is Zephyr, underdressed and overblown Goddess of the gust.

She'll blow you away  :=

(and yes, I know zephyrs are mild, but I like the way the name sounds  8))

Now imagine put all those above into one game...  :P

...That would look awful   :-\

Liar! It would be amazing.

Okay, okay. Who will do the programming?  ;)

I'm sure I could do it, but with my current record of games made(None), Chances are I wouldn't get far... :P

I sometime  started scripting something... But, I didn't have any graphics nor a good reason. Maybe if we do it together, wonkyth?

...this is getting more and more off-topic  ;)

Edit: I just HAD to do it:
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8673/cing.png)

Neither good nor an entry.

Loooooooool!!! That's briljant :D

Well, I had my own share of fun too: (click) (http://www.box.net/shared/dij9l8ix8f)
Although it turned out more like 'A boy and his carrot'. Needs work ;)
And I thought you wouldn't mind me using your sprite there NsMn  ;D

Been a long time, pixeling is fun! ;D

Wooow, great entries everyone!
I'd hate to be the one judging this one!

I'm really getting inspired.
Next time I'll have to win, I suppose...

NsMn: This could be good.
What one should we use as the player character?

(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/2710/megabullet2b.png)

...yeah, I really don't know what I was thinking either, but it was better than some of the other 'bullet shooting' concepts that I had laying around.

Since Wyz already used a version of Biff, I think we could modify him (normal shirt and trousers), and give him something special (bat etc.).

btw, can a mod move this to a new thread? Thanks.

Considering that this is a competition thread, and that it is in the Competitions and Activities board, wouldn't it be simpler just to stop posting in here and communicate via PM? The competition hasn't even ended yet ;)!

Someone's missing the deadline... and he's not a contestant  :P

Well, if somebody wants mister carrotten to see the next level or help doing so, PM me, or open a topic somewhere.

Sorry for hijacking this topic, Bulba, I just had too much fun with this theme. ;)

update:
Agreed, it was an ill formed sentence. :P

OH GOD ITS Evil Bulbapuck! Everybody RUUUUUUUN!

and @ Wyz, is it just me, or is your above post confusing... unless its some kind of anagram.....

AHA!

Icemen Reverence: a teletext plot to wed a ewe... blow her to smithereens... oomph, lay limp....

I'm on to you... Teletext man

LOL :D, I like it :)!

Anyway.. Sorry that I'm late guys, but this desicion was HARD!

But I made up my mind finally:

(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/spritejamtrophy_gold2.png)
First place: Loominous
I choose Loominous for a couple of reasons: 1. It's very well drawn. 2. It's a great concept, I think the idea is the biggest reason I'm choosing this. And 3. It made me laugh ;)

(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/spritejamtrophy_silver2.png)
Second place: Khris
This is awesome, it's truly a piese of pixel art! Congratulations!

(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/spritejamtrophy_bronze2.png)
Third place:AngelicCharon
I could so see this in Mega Man or a game like that, great job!

Thanks everyone for entering and making this Jam awesome ;D
You're entries were all so great, and it saddens me that only one can win.
Så grattis Loominous, och lycka till med nästa Sprite Jam!

Congrats to all! :D
