Title: [WINNERS] SPRITE JAM [Apr 16-May 05] Non-human Sidekicks!
Post by: Avirosb on Sat 16/04/2016 13:21:18
Non-human Sidekicks

(http://i.imgur.com/NtljZnn.png)

So you're preparing to embark on a taxing journey - fraught with danger and multiple detours -
just to return that one carton of milk you bought from the store that was way past the expiration date.

But of course you needn't go alone.
Your non-human sidekick decides to tag along for the trip!
Why? Maybe you share a common goal, or maybe It just wants to keep you company.

Non-human sidekicks come in many shapes and sizes - from snarky robots that takes on different shapes,
to talking birds - and is a common staple in adventure games.

Some can take to the skies to scout ahead.
Some help you solve puzzles, and some have the power to vanquish your foes.
Some come and go as they please, and some remain by your side at all times.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to design your ideal non-human sidekick.

Rules:

I'm fresh out of trophies, so hope you people can make do with these commemorative birbs :X

This topic is AWESOME! 8-0 8-0 8-0
I am so gonna participate!

But how do we show, that it is a sidekick? Maybe add a rule that the contestant has to draw a sillhouette of the "master" beside the sidekick to see the (non-)differences in height? Or am I overthinking it? :-\

And I love your birds. You rock as a host from the beginning on :D

Heh, thanks a lot for the encouraging words ;-D

In regards to your question, uh... I, should probably take that into consideration, shouldn't I?

Was trying Photoshop and all of a sudden this "little" guy appeared in on my screen.. took only a few minutes really... and then rest of the day to clean it and shade it. (roll)

Man... if only I could take part in competitions at this time.

But if I were to do so... why do I have the voice in my head screaming out for me to a parody of the Cheat from Homestar Runner?!

Just go for it. It doesn't have to be 100% original.
There's only been 2 entries so far.

Alright! I might do more, but this is what I got so far:

An early 90s hi resolution adventure game in which you play a private investigator, with their pet raccoon. Need something opened, stolen, or otherwise messed around with? Your buddy is always there to lend a helping paw to do things that doing yourself might not be strictly legal! His fingerprints aren't permissable in a court of law! Probably!

Voting time. With only 3 entrants I think it's best to limit this to 1 vote per person, so think long and hard before voting (just not too long :()
Also remember you will only be voting for best design of a non-human sidekick. Pay no attention to the humans.

The following entrants are:

Grok, with this cool cat!

[imgzoom]http://orig13.deviantart.net/aa85/f/2016/110/e/1/cat_by_pekj-d9zlzsa.png[/imgzoom]

Cassiebsg, with this dinosaur-looking thingie!

Scavenger, with this pet racoon!

I'll count the votes in about a week from now. Good? Good.

Ah... I was going to comment that I didn't know how I had missed this, but can see you edited it. I suggest you also edit the 1st post and change the topic to "voting time" or something like that.

Anyway, my vote goes to Scavenger, with this pet racoon!

Also Selmiak, Scavenger is clearly using the EGA palette, not the C64 palette.
