For those who don't know this game is the sequel to Pixels: The Game! which was originally inspired by Pixel Survival, it's had its fair share of successes though failed when I tried to bring Pixels! further and created the website for numerous reasons but it all eventually came down to the fact that I had rushed it.

Anyways after that I suspect it appeared to everybody that I'd abandoned the project when in actual fact I've been working on content to re-launch Pixels! to make it so much better than it was before, so here's a quick list of the changes to Pixels! and why this time it will work:

Changes to Pixels!

• More focus placed on engaging story lines
• An improved website with more and richer content
• Release date announced at least a week in advance

Why Pixels! will work this time

• A 5 minute Pixels! animation is in the works for promotion purposes
• Enough advertising credit to send 4,000 visitors to the website
• Reward scheme to pay GM's, moderators and other contributors
• And with any luck the full support of a great community!

All Pixels! development prior to launch will occur on Bay12, re-development of pixels begins here.

Pixels: The Second Game!

Ok guys, welcome to Pixels: The Second Game! This is a re-imagining of the original Pixels: The Game!, the art style and rough concept was originally inspired by Pixel Survival and also by Nitrome Games (you may be interested to know my old boss once employed it's founders). The reason for restarting the pixels game was firstly I got a bit bored of it and secondly when I originally created Pixels I designed it so that players were supposed to be constantly scheming against each other, the only problem was everyone ended up working together!

Not what I'd planned at all, so anyway I came up with the idea (or rather was inspired by the mortal engines series of books) to have all the players live in the same mobile settlement in a world where towns and cities move around on great wheels and tracks and generally work together against or with the environment I create. Anyway it's fairly simple to join and play, just claim one of the pixels (One that's in a spawner) and start posting actions whilst bearing in mind how realistic it is and the setting, anyway I hope both you and me will enjoy this game very much 

Oh, and also if you can't get a spot straight away Aklyon has kindly made a very similar game with a different story-line so we can accommodate more players by the name of Pixelic Engines, Zyro has also created another game along the same lines (in space) by the name of Star Pixels and last but not least is yet another Pixels game (also in space) which is bieng run by Ehndras - Pixel Station.

Last but certainly not least here's the Pixels! OOC thread, check it out if you want to create you own pixels game too!

Rules

Each Pixel must eat 1 food per day otherwise they die, if their are multiple candidates a dice is rolled to determine which die

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

For aimed weapons I'll zoom into the area that will be hit, then close my eyes wave my finger arround a bit, open my eyes and wherever my finger is pointing is where the projectile will hit

For close fighting I'll do it like risk but with bonuses (Rolling for everybody lining one sides best up against the other sides best and whichever is higher wins) here's an example:

2 dudes with rifle's (1R and 2R) attack 1 guy who's unarmed and two guys with Pistols (1U, 1P and 2P)

1R rolls a 5 and gets a +2 rifle bonus = 7
2R 1+2=3

vs

1U 5
1P 6+1=7
2P 2+1=3

1P(7)vs1R(7) = no deaths
1U(5)vs2R(3) = 2R dies

I'll then keep rolling like that until everybody dies or I puase the game and people's can put in new actions if the situation changes a lot.

Spoiler: Spawners (click to show/hide)

Spawners can be built for 1 Scarcium with advanced facilities

Players appear in the area between the two doors and an icon identical to the player is displayed in the area above for identification purposes

Once dead it takes 3 in-game days for a player to re-appear in there spawner as an unclaimed pixel

Turn 1

Date: 1st January 2786 11:00 AM

After bieng in a mysterious stasis for several months the residents of habitat hope begin to rise to start the working day


I suggest first of all you try to elect a leader so when you travel there aren't any disputes, also a name for your group and habitat, I'd say you should name the aircraft too but that already has a name; The Jenny Haniver after the book I took it from. Also I'd suggest getting a way to defend yourself/attack because at the moment your best move would probably be to ram the enemy, then jump out of your habitat and try to beat them up 

Spoiler: Habitat Hope (click to show/hide)

The farm produces 5 food per day
You have the Jenny Haniver aircraft

Spoiler: Resources (click to show/hide)

8 Fuel
16 Food
3 Metal
1 Scarcium

Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)

To the north there is a gathering of traction villages which seem to be trading you can recognize the small-sized town of Ziggurut on the horizon which you remember lazily rolling across the barren landscape from your childhood days

To your west there is a habitat smaller than your own, if you give chase you may be able to capture it and salvage resources

[ashton1993]

BBB

like that

[Aklyon]

A game inspired by the Mortal Engines quartet? Awesome. i'll claim the one with the yellow corner shape.

[UltraValican]

I'll take the blue and pink one.

[areyoua]

I'll take the red and green one. At least, I think it's red.

[Aklyon]

How much metal would we need for a harpoon or something similar to pierce our foes with?

Also, more general questions: can we take over and/or eat other moving settlements or raid the few static settlements, or are we more like a scavenger-ish kind of place right now? Not sure how much your idea is using from the ME quartet.

[BunnyBob77]

Give me yellow/green.  Additionally, I vote that there is no leader and everything is settled by voting.
