Sprite Jam: Inventory items (Winners announced)

A disk notcher?!?

But that would make my factory-spec'd single-sided disk into some sort of pirate hacker double-sided disk!! What kind of leet warez madness is this? Have you been reading those antisocial postings on the BBSs again? Probably one of those forchans I've heard about on the news!

Gurok, for some reason, I am unable to view the image you uploaded. I tried visiting the direct link with another browser, and even tried a proxy (thinking that the host might have been blocked by my ISP for some god knows what reason---Pastebin is banned here, for instance) but to no avail.

Can you please your image to a better host? kthxbye.

Okay, I've fixed it. For some reason, the image links broke.

Accepted!

Actually a drone with stealth and camera for your everyday use. Now, if I could just find that remote! I know I put it somewhere...

Spoiler

A bigger size of the item, not useful as inventory item sprite though.

I had fun doing this one... I guess it's obvious inspired on...

I would love it if we could get the other stuff mentioned in the initial post (a funky spaceship and a herd of cows) as semi-useful items.

Accepted!

Damn you people and your crazy shenanigans

Loving all the great stuff I see here. That crystal ball would sure be useful if I ever needed hints to solve puzzles. And look at all this hi-tech stuff: hacking computer, floppy disks, cassette tapes and recorders, disk notcher, stealth drone. Mix all that with powerful Egyptian spells and it looks like I'm preparing for some crazy magical retrofuture adventure. Hmm... I wonder if that keyring can open beer bottles or is it just another pretty face? That pulley with a rubber chicken seems kind of a game breaker though - is there a problem that I couldn't solve with it?

Thanks everyone for these great item suggestions! Sadly, I only have enough room for 3 of them and I'd like to rely on your expertise to find out which ones are the most useful, relevant and reliable.

Voting is open to everyone and lasts until February 2nd (most likely around 22.00 forum time)

Voting system:
1st place = 3 points
2nd place = 2 points
3rd place = 1 point

Let's get voting!

DBoyWheeler · Mon 30/01/2017 01:39:15

My votes:
1st: Blondbraid (because I can so see the Book of Thoth be the central plot, or at least a very important item, in a game)
2nd: Ponch (very good job depicting a floppy disk in modern style--plus I can see a game taking place in the mid 1980's that would make use of this)
3rd: Mandle (at the very least, I see this as an Easter egg item that can be traded for a more important item)

Danvzare · Mon 30/01/2017 14:17:12

1st: Mandle (Because that is the greatest invention I have ever seen!)
2nd: Gurok (You never know when you might need a perfect 1/1000th scale replica of Manhattan.)
3rd: Ponch (The perfect accompaniment for my cassette tape and recorder.)

kconan · Mon 30/01/2017 14:39:10

Ponch · Mon 30/01/2017 21:17:45

1) Mandle (there's no puzzle it can't solve)
2) Blondbraid (for dealing out magical justice)
3) Kconan (with this widget, you can double the usefulness of the first two items. You'll be unstoppable!)

Gurok · Tue 31/01/2017 01:41:06

1. Blondbraid (lovely colours)
2. Cassiebsg (very clean rendering)
3. Mandle (best concept!)

Adeel · Tue 31/01/2017 04:26:04

1. Gurok (he bribed me to do so)
2. Ponch (my first computer game came on it, although it surely wasn't OSD)
3. Oldschool_Wolf

Twirlly · Tue 31/01/2017 06:36:35

1. Danvzare: All the information you could save and use to extort people. Also could hold music for adventuring
2. Gurok: It can house an ant that can be trained to do um... stuff for little insects that can carry 5000 x their weight
3. Mandle: Well it worked once... if it ain't broke, don't fix it

It's always brains over beauty for me, so I counted the useful votes. Mmm... brains...

It took lots of fiddling and sorting out, but I somehow managed to squeeze four items in my already filled-to-the-brim backpack. I feel like nothing can stop me now!

Come grab your hard-earned bags of pixelated coins!

3rd place is shared by:

Spoiler

Mandle and Ponch
*Cassiebsg's vanity votes would have given the edge to Mandle and left Ponch penniless
