Title: Some Smilies
Post by: Anym on Mon 10/01/2005 00:56:36
I haven't been too happy with the mix of anti-aliased, yellow-faced smilies and Roger-faced ones, so I tried to create alternatives for the old ones. Once I was started, however, I found it hard to stop and I made two more. I hope it's possible to recognize who they are. Those that already were Roger-faced are just there for comparison's sake. Tell me what you think!

Nice work. I'm the one who originally made the roger smilies, by the way... I was just too lazy to do the animated ones. So thanks for finishing off the set!

Now, all we need to do is to bug Pumaman into using this new set. :=

Nice!
We had a few discussions about new smilies in the past but could not come to an agreement.
I think these fit very nicely with the old ones so we should definitely use them.

What kind discussions? I hope I didn't breach proper bureaucratic procedure by posting here without first consulting the sub-comittee for smilies and firearms. ;)

Anyway, making smilies is kinda addictive, so here are two more, (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/rode.gif) and (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/pib.gif), which I added them to the first post as well, again for comparison's sake.

Whoops! I only searched for old threads on the four Community boards, so I overlooked it. Sorry, I should have posted there. (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/embarassed_2.gif)

Hehe, at least the thread about smilies from three months ago contains a link to a thread about similies from six month ago. :)

I love them!
About time get rid of those ugly yellow circles.
And though auhsor once already did it, I didn't like the bigger faces.
These here are perfect.

Thanks for posting these, I'm finally going to get off my ass and update the ones on the site with them :)

The extra smileys are rather cute, but I can't yet see a use for them, I'm afraid. The Larry Vales is the 'cheeky smile' smiley, so if anyone can suggest what the others represent, they could be used too ;)

well Jackson could be the geeky smiley. Like man your a real (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/jackson_2.gif)
But why are all the smileys just  rogers. Why not use the famous AGS characters ass the original smileys.
Title: Re: Some Smilies
Post by: Anym on Tue 11/01/2005 21:08:25
Cool! Thanks a lot for using them! 8)

As I said, I just made the others because I enjoyed making the Rogers, they don't really represent anything... but perhaps I'll change my mind and make something up. :P

But I still can't stop making them: (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/fatman_3.gif) (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/rob.gif)

The Ody one could represent boredom, sarcasm, Ody's personality... like "Oh, joy. (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/odysseus_3.gif)"

Pip shows a kind of child-like innocence.

Max could be used for acts of senseless violence and needless agression... hmm, better scratch that.
Title: Re: Some Smilies
Post by: Anym on Sat 15/01/2005 16:04:33
I modified the Max slightly: (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/max_2.gif) -> (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/max_4.gif)

But they keep on coming: (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/sam.gif) (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/satan_2.gif)

That should be the last of them though (but I can't promise anything).

But... those aren't AGS games.

Well, I guess Max isn't AGS either. But soon we're going to have Anym drawing every adventure game character that has ever existed, and then where would be.

Too Many Smileys City, capital of Lots of Emoticonsland, that's where!
Title: Re: Some Smilies
Post by: Nacho on Sun 16/01/2005 23:21:05
I think nobody used the Larry Vales emoticon, so, why including AGS characters that are less unknown? As a joke it's been ok, but... enough! :)
Title: Re: Some Smilies
Post by: Anym on Mon 17/01/2005 00:36:15
Don't worry, I don't do requests... And as I said before, I draw them just for fun. These aren't meant for inclusion in the standard set of emoticons (or any set of emoticons for that matter), but everyone's free to copy & paste them and use them in their own posts, if (and only if) they really, really have to.

P.S.: O.K., some requests, just this once: (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/bernard_2.gif) (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/welder.gif)

P.P.S.: And I'm not sure every adventure game character can be made into a nice-looking smiley. Jake McUrk without an outline doesn't look like a proper smiley and with an outline he doesn't look like Jake McUrk. Or Guybrush has a face that is only 10 or so pixels high, whereas your average smiley has at least 15.

P.P.P.S.: But feel free to post your own smileys and prove me wrong!

I like it. But that's probably only because Pib is one of the emoticons.  :=

I don't.  There are no Tim or Tiffany smileys.  :=

Post by: sergiocornaga on Sat 22/01/2005 03:39:42
By Jove, you're right! (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/pib.gif) We could definitely use some of those... And I think if specific emotions are assigned to the characters, they could work well. Like the welder one could be an *evil* smiley. Or something.  :=

EDIT: And, oh yeah, the bernard one could be a geek smiley, for all those times you post particularly geeky statements.

Heh well I did like the ones I made. I liked the extra width but hey I'm not complaining. Good work on the new smilies :). I shoulda made mine a bit better and pushed CJ a little more. :P

I'm already on the record as not liking the Roger smileys. Oh well, I'm clearly in the minority on that one.

What I would like to see still is a more expressive set. I often find that the smiley I want just doesn't exist. Here are some that I think ought to be added:

(http://members.lycos.co.uk/snarkibartfast/clap.gif)Ã,  (http://members.lycos.co.uk/snarkibartfast/cuckoo.gif)Ã,  (http://members.lycos.co.uk/snarkibartfast/disappointed.gif)Ã,  (http://members.lycos.co.uk/snarkibartfast/thumbs.gif)Ã,  (http://members.lycos.co.uk/snarkibartfast/gag.gif)Ã,  (http://members.lycos.co.uk/snarkibartfast/suspect.gif)

Also, I think something more like this would be better than the current smileys:

But they're not roger! thats the whole point. of course we could get a generic set but we want an AGS specific set.



Right?

Post by: Snarky on Sat 22/01/2005 17:52:39
I didn't mean add those particular sprites, I meant add those smileys, done in Roger style (since that's what most people want).

I decided to have a go at a couple of new roger smilies. Tell me whatcha think.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/sergiocornaga/roger2.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/sergiocornaga/roger1.gif)

Do they deserve to be in the ags forums smilies group?
