X-prite Jam: Vth Feb to XIIth of Feb. "From eighties to nineties..."

Nacho · Sun 05/02/2006 14:37:27

Remember the sprites of the end of the eighties and the early nineties? How cool they seemed at the beginning and how shabby after the remakes of the nineties!

Do the same! Convert any of the old sprites you want into something new and cartoony, in the style of Ben Full throttle, CMI Guybrush or Bernard. Of couse, Sierra and other non-LEC companies sprites are allowed.

EXAMPLE:

50 X 150high pixels as much. 16 colours plus background colour.

Damien · Sun 05/02/2006 14:44:51

Any restrictions?

Nacho · Sun 05/02/2006 14:57:02

50 X 150 pixels, 16 colours (17 counting the background one...) IT's in my first post man!

Corey · Sun 05/02/2006 15:41:53

could you post a few examples of game from that time?? i was born in 1990 so...

Redwall · Sun 05/02/2006 16:00:58

I was born in 1989 but I have copies of pretty much ever LucasArts adventure game from 1988 - 1998.

I think this is intended to be something of a nostalgia trip; so if you don't know any examples, don't enter.

Damien · Sun 05/02/2006 16:44:14

Quote50 X 150 pixels, 16 colours (17 counting the background one...) IT's in my first post man!

Silly me, I thought that were the dimensions and colors used in your example.

MrColossal · Sun 05/02/2006 17:34:15

It's quite easy to do your own research, just type in names of old adventure games or search on The Underdogs by year.

Nacho · Sun 05/02/2006 19:00:39

I thought this was not going to create controversy... I want to see King Graham, Sonny Bonds, Roger Wilco, Guybrush, Indiana Jones, Larry Vales, Bobbin Treadbare, Elaine Marley, Zack McCracken... In 50X150, 16 colours.

I won't be bad. If you pick an old arcade game I will allow you to enter. Wanna pick Luke Skywalker or The Mario Bross? Ok... try to make him Fullthrottlish... Come on people! Enties, entries, entries!!!

scourge · Sun 05/02/2006 23:03:40

3x

I tried simon from the first game. I'm definitely gonna do more. This is a fun topic

Done 12 colours, 50x120

[EDIT] OK, I made another one. THIS IS MY OFFICIAL ENTRY (unless you like the other one better farlanderÃ,Â

)
It's guybrush and titled what if ... what if

3x

Done 12 colours, 50x112

Nacho · Sun 05/02/2006 23:11:45

It captures the spirit of the sprite jam, good work!

scourge · Mon 06/02/2006 01:17:44

I made another entry that I spend more time on ... in previous post.

Krysis · Mon 06/02/2006 08:30:49

Its Bob from MI1. You know... LeChuck's undead buddy... his head used to fall alot.
Now I feel like making a game or something.Ã,Â

Ã,Â

Ã,Â Ã,Â Ã,Â Ã,Â

EDIT: I made another version.Ã,Â

Mordalles · Mon 06/02/2006 19:14:29

2x 14 colours, 127x167 (50x150 was bit unrealistic

)

crap, i know.

Nacho · Mon 06/02/2006 20:02:32

Sorry, but there are million things to do (Choosing another char, make it smaller, changing the pose...) before exceding the limitations. I can't accept the entry. I am deeply sorry.

I hope so because that would be stupid....

Nikolas · Tue 07/02/2006 23:33:38

Buloght, I think that you have too much free time in your hands!

When you're all done, I would suggest choosing 1 entry so Farl can judge.

But every single sprite you did is lovely! Now where's my money?

Secret Fawful · Tue 07/02/2006 23:36:23

thats it i'm doing Marla, just for the heck of it. Expect an update to this post, but Elaines still my entry.

BTw nice entrys buloght, I like em. Have you ever considered making your own MI game?

Mordalles · Wed 08/02/2006 00:26:47

did a quick one while downloading the podquest. again too large.

vict0r · Wed 08/02/2006 00:53:34

Cirtheru · Wed 08/02/2006 01:16:20

Mine is Billy Blaze alias 'Commander Keen'. First version wasn't too cartoony so I did a second one.

x3

Secret Fawful · Wed 08/02/2006 02:08:31

Nice sprites buloght, though now you've left me without ideas.

I had some other sprites here, but they looked too much larger than elaine, so they'll never see the light of day here. I can't wait to see what neat stuff you'll come up with next.

Stefano · Wed 08/02/2006 02:37:01

Oh, my! Buloght is slowly transforming into a sprite-o-matic machine.

Although this is quite interesting I won't be participating, cause I have NO free time in my hands right now. Buloght are you interested in selling some???

Just kidding! Nice sprites, man.
I remember when you joined and I can tell that all your effort and training are really improving your spriting skills.

Cheers,
Stefano, the man swamped in duties.

Nacho · Wed 08/02/2006 15:43:03

Which one do I choose?!? I am not sure about the rules, but shouldn't be a bit unfair to have a member with 34 entries having the others just one? $:-\$

Please, those who knows the rules tell me what shall I do...

(There are more games than Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, San and Max, Zak McCracken, Larry, Jake "Pleurghburgh", Ben Jordan...)

vict0r · Wed 08/02/2006 15:47:49

I think B will have to pick one sprite to show. But all is great!!

Yes, Buloght must pick one as his "official" entry.

Secret Fawful · Wed 08/02/2006 18:18:07

Although it's not directly related to the sprite comp, nor is it an entry, i'll just post this sprite of Monkey Island 1 Guybrush just for the heck of it, even if he is too much bigger than Elaine.

scourge · Wed 08/02/2006 19:37:59

3x

50x120 each, cannibals from monkey island

50x120, I still need the original pic for this one, but it's Kate from MI2

3x

50x110, Guybrush from MI1.

3x

This one is not an entry (too big and too many colours ...)

For my entry (if i have to pic) would be the guybrush on the first page done in Full Throttle style

Krysis · Wed 08/02/2006 19:54:35

OMG This sprite jam rules!

Not entries.

Mordalles · Wed 08/02/2006 19:58:14

hehe, buloght, you rule! that last 2 of kate and lechuck are awesome!

i demand a mi 1 remake!

Nacho · Wed 08/02/2006 20:21:11

I am thinking on it SERIOUSLY...

scourge · Wed 08/02/2006 23:58:37

someone mentioned we could do ben jordan?

50x115 ... from bj1

Hey people i am quite new here but i can already tell that this buloght guy is a greatest member of this communityÃ,Â

He is the best artist in AGS for sure nobody could compete that.

Well done buloght. Hardly wait to download that games that you done if you make this for the sprite jam how good are theyÃ,Â 8).

Firstly, welcome and thanks for the compliment.

BUT, please don't say things like this. It's very far from true. I'm still very much learning pixel art. There are some true artists here (that i can't even begin to compare myself with)

You should check out work by: big brother, bernie, stefano, progZmax, loominous, andail, etc, the list goes.

They are the real artists.

Please don't say something like this again without checking the rest of the forums and games

Dulena · Thu 09/02/2006 02:41:28

Yeah you are probably right but your characters are still realy great.Hardly wait to se that other guys work

SHE hasnt posted for as while but she is occasionally online.

scourge · Thu 09/02/2006 10:02:53

I also meant to say danClarke, Darth Mandarb, Neil Duma, and of course Opo Terser (saw some of HER work in bblitz) and MORE etc. I never realized there are so many great artists here until you try listing them ...

Ok, Buloght sprites really blows everything away, really, just brilliant work, indeed.

Great stuff.
Don't feel like I stand a chance, but I felt like doing something anyways, so I did one of everybody's favourite New Orleans bookowner and hunter of shadows - Gabriel Knight.

Snarky · Thu 09/02/2006 16:07:34

Awesome sprites, buloght, but why the pin-eyes? The ones with bigger eyes, like Kate, look so much more expressive.

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Thu 09/02/2006 17:37:56

I committed a great sin with this one, but what's done is done...Presenting, in Full Throttle style and colors, Prince Brandon from Legend of Kyrandia! And...Malcom since he was in the reference.
Brandon is the one I made for the comp, though.

and the reference I used

scourge · Thu 09/02/2006 19:36:29

Thanks for all the nice replies, it keeps me goingÃ,Â

Here's some moreÃ,Â 8) a chef, ghost pirate captain, a sheriff and a lookout-man from MI1 all 3x and 50x110

references

EDIT: Here's more. I don't like them and i think i rushed them, but like Grundislav once said, if you create you have to show everything ....Ã,Â i'll put them 2x in embarressment.

I don't think i'll do anymore, maybe just elaine ...

Kinoko · Fri 10/02/2006 11:35:24

Remember: She's got a touch of exotic beauty about her ^_^ I'd even take a look at some of her close-up shots from the first game.

LOVE the circus guys, but I think that Sheriff is one of your best yet.

Bulought you should totally make an MI remake. Those graphics really capture the esscence.

Kweepa · Fri 10/02/2006 19:30:35

Wow, amazing stuff in this thread!

But enough of the "MI remake!" - there's a huge difference between a few standing poses and all the animation that would be required.

MrColossal · Fri 10/02/2006 20:38:37

I have proposed to Steve's post and hope to marry it, that's how much I agree with it...

Awesome stuff, the Prince Brandon sprite actually makes him look good, god I hated that guy...

Now, everyone head on over to the animation competition, eh eh eh?

I'll enter yours if you enter mine, Farlander!

Nacho · Fri 10/02/2006 20:41:17

Ok... Doing the work... But now you'll have to allow me to make a "From concept to Background" with a pencil sketch of a overhauled MI1 background... I am allowed?

Buloght you really outdid yourself and I would love to see a monkey island remake in the works?

Once again well done!

This will end in 119 minutes (counting in the moment of this post). Be patient.

Nacho · Sun 12/02/2006 23:30:45

And the winner is... Pesty! By several reasons...

a)I love Pesty's legs.
b)I liked her sprite, and it made me re-discover the lovely graphics of Kyrandia. Awesome tecnique.
c)This is about quality, not quantity, sorry Bulought. It should have been unfair to reward an effort that, actually, we don't demmand. Next time effort more doing one. Not a little doing 32.
d)ProgZmax is probably the one that captures the spirit of the thing I had in mind better, but it was a bit too "Bennish", and Malcolm is too close of the original. So, I decided to give Pesty's the chance to enter in Hall of fame, ProgZmax already is.
e)Krysis, very very close, you've been the first choice till Pesty's entry.
f)Mordy... Next time make the box with the restrictions first, and paint. The MÃªlÃ©e citizen was a quite good entry.

So, thanks for all!

Mordalles · Sun 12/02/2006 23:38:59

but, but, my last entry was in the restrictions. hehehe.

anyway, congrats pesty.

going on quality, i would have thought it was between krysis and buloght.

my favourites were buloght monkey island 2 guybrush and krysis' ghost skelly. 2 awesome sprites. $:-\$

Congrats Pesty.
