[GUI Elements]

Hello peeps.

It's time for the GUI Elements contest for the Sierra Template.

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/gqYpkAE.png[/imgzoom]

As you can see, this menu could really use some pizzazz and style.

Here is a list of what we need:

• A button:
  
  
  
  • Normal Button State.
  • Pressed Button State.
  • Hover Button State (Optional).
• A custom slider.
• A border for the GUIs.
• A border for the Display text.

Here is a visual aide with the walk icon, the current palette, a text window, a button and a slider to help as a reference:

Things to take into account:

• You can add a couple more colours to the palette if you need them, but be thoughtful about them working together.
• The final resolution of the template is 320x200
• Be creative with the borders of the buttons and the windows, but be mindful of the space they take on a screen that size.
• Remember that the display text border repeats itself to reach a variable size, so overtly complex borders on that one will not really work.
• The sliders don't have to be horizontal, they can also be vertical.
• I might change the icon borders to reflect the style winning here, so there is no need to use them as guides.

The deadline for entries will be on September the 4th.

[Proxima Centauri b]

Proxima Centauri b
Making First Contact

About 4.25 light-years from Earth sits a red dwarf called Proxima Centauri.
Around this star there is an exoplanet called Proxima Centauri b, right within the habitable zone.
We can only wonder what kind of life inhabits this planet.

Your job is to help us catalogue what species roam this distant place.

Guidelines:

• The alien creature can be humanoid, but should not be human, be creative.
• The creature should have a description that tells us something about the species.
• There are no limitation on palettes or styles. Animations are welcome.

Once all creatures are presented by August 1st a panel of xenobiologists will decide which of these creatures is more likely to be found.

And the winners are:

01 - Blondbraid - Eepuot	02 - Rocchinator - Revernauts (v2)
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/DgHF1CN.png[/imgzoom]03 - Izera - Antititties	03 - Nixxon - Teleported Creature

[The Template Background Competition.]

The Template Background Competition.
A.K.A. - Not the Background Blitz.

As some of you may know, we are making an updated Sierra Template for AGS.
We already have the icon bar and nu-Roger defined.

Now it's time to have a nice background, so Roger is not floating in the darkness of space.

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/7Q5NLzR.png[/imgzoom]
Doesn't he look lonely there?

Your task is to create a nice background for our friend.

The specifications:

• The background must be done for a 320x200 resolution.
• Roger should fit in it without having to scale him up or down.
• There is no thematic restriction, but Roger should not feel too out of place.
• There is no color restriction

For reference here is one image of Roger:

Te deadline is July 24, so there is lots of time.
Please keep the specifications in mind, since this background will be used on the Sierra Template.

Winner: Selmiak

[Looking for Love]

Looking for Love
(in Several Wrong Places)
With a title (stolen) from Sierra On-Line

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/QIdfWmM.png[/imgzoom]

This is Larry Frank.
Frank has always been unlucky with love, and he really needs someone in his life.
He feels that this is his last chance to find someone to be with because he is not getting any younger.
Frank is a good guy, but he is a little bit boring. There is a limit of how many people you can meet when your hobby is collecting novelty soap bars.

Your job is to find a suitor for dear old Frank.

Guidelines:

• Just like in all these new RPGs the suitor can be of any sex, gender or species.
• The suitor should be AGS-ready. We don't want Frank to end up with a sketch do we?
• Frank's dates should have a description telling us a bit about themselves. (Dating app descriptions are more than acceptable).
• There are no limitations on palettes or styles.

Once all the suitors are presented by May 16th we will vote to decide which one is the best (or worst, depending how mean you are) partner for Frank.

Trophies:

Our first place will get Frank's heart of gold.
Second place gets his stomach made in silver.
Third place earns a lovely bronze liver.
And for all the other participants, we have this lovely spray painted green kidney.

• You must depict a fantastic creature and how it would look living in modern times.
• The creature sprite should be AGS ready.
• The creature doesn't need to be humanoid but it must be clearly integrated with today's culture for better or worse.

The winners will receive the following trophies:
