OK. If I have time tonight, I'll try to sketch out one of those.

[GlyphGryph]

Darvi, no one can do back sprites. And no one cares if they are any good, really, so long as they get down. And if it isn't /painfully/ obvious, I much prefer fixing other people's sprites to doing my own, so I might be able to make even a bad one look passable, while I wouldn't have touched it otherwise.

[mr. macduggan]

What I found with back sprites is if you can find a real pokemon that's roughly the same shape and you emulate its backsprite as your source image, it becomes far easier to get the perspective right. Luckily, there are about 600 pokemon in various shapes and sizes, so if you know them decently well you should be able to pick a winner as your model. For the Magmette/Magmaphant/Vulcaphant family, I used Phanpy/Donphan/Regigigas respectively and it made it much less of a headache.
EDIT: Have these sprites I made been implemented into the game yet? The wiki says that we don't have sprites for that family yet, but I understand that it might be that they're not processed yet. Also, if they are simply not good enough sprites, that's OK too, but I would like to know. Specifically, Magaphant is missing any sprite files when you click on him.

Y'know, you guys should keep the species names short. They can only be so long.

Perhaps Catsplosion could be renamed to Catsplode.

Your sprites are definitely good enough macduggan, they're just not up yet. I think glyphgryph is giving them a once over with shading and stuff and they should be up after that. If you want you could gather them all in one post to make them easy to find, too.

Edit: Oh, that's a lie, the magaphette front sprite's up, it's just not linked in. I'll fix that.

[Bluerobin]

Uh.. what. It says it merged something but I never did that. I don't actually know what it did. hmph... now to figure out how to revert that.

Edit: I think I figured out what I did, not that it really helps. It's getting to the point where I think I might email all my stuff to someone else to put into the repo... I feel like I break something every other time.

Edit2: I dunno, I think that fixed it. It says it reverted it, but now I'm not sure there were any actual changes in the first place. Blah. Someone who knows what they're doing take a look at it. And maybe while you're at it, upload this Macookie sprite please.

After attempting to work with github, these are my feelings exactly.

[Bluerobin]

It's kind of bizarre because all of the programming/comp sci classes I've ever taken have been a breeze, but apparently as soon as you put weird names on everything I completely lose all ability to do much of anything.

[Darvi]

I mean things like calling the Boatborn-family Vengeful Spirits. That doesn't work because there can be only 11 letters.

[Reudh]

Spectre then.

[Darvi]

That works.

[Darvi]

There is now a tileset for the worl map in the rep.

If anybody wants to make a map, the tiles are 8x8 and the map itself is 208x144 or 192/144 apparently

[GlyphGryph]

Bluerobin, can I have any more details on what happened that you had a problem with? :/
Remember that the nice thing about github is you can't really /break/ anything without trying to really hard. At most, you can cause a temporary inconvenience that might take me a couple minutes to fix. And if you use the GUI, even that is generally unlikely I think.

What exactly was the problem?

[Darvi]

And if you use the GUI, even that is generally unlikely I think.

Yeah because using the GUI you're extremely unlikely to do anything at all.

[Sheb]

Well, since I'm terrible at pixel art and wanted to help, I did a Pullame (because it looked like the easiest Bayomon to draw). Here it is.



What do you think? Good enough?
