Pixel Art Challenge: Character Selection Menu

News Details


This week's challenge is brought to us by weekly challenge winner kakikukeko. Mockup a character selection menu of a game of your own. It can be any kind of game, puzzle game, beat them all, platform or whatever..

Rules:
  • You have to show (at least) one character and its name.
  • The character select must be a living character -- not a ship or other type of vehicle.
  • Size MUST BE 240x160 (can't be vertical) .. you can work half rez if you want (or mix some full rez/ half rez element), but your final picture must be 240*160.
  • Up to 64 colors
Here are a few examples, from the  simplistic look of sonic or metal slug (sorry gba version ^^) to the hardcore SFA3 ....  don't stick to those, there are so many other kind of menus...  good luck!

The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

Do Robots count as living characters? Also, this is going to be awesome. I'm gonna love to see all the originality coming out of this one.

@Kakikukeko: Oh, I actually missed the "Game of your own" part. Thanks for clearing it up! :)


kakikukeko (Level 5 Detective) at 4/30/2007 8:05:18 AM
Liman: If it's not too late too add some rules, I would prefer people to come with original characters .. (that's what I meant by a game of your own.. but I didn"t think of movie or comics characters...)

Ilkke: I just thought that some people may think it's too big for a week, and I prefer to see a half rez effort than no effort at all..  maybe I was wrong 

Liman (Level 3 Chief) at 4/30/2007 3:01:37 AM

Very cool idea. Very interesting to see what everyone will come up with!

By the way, does the character/s have to be original or can it be from a movie or something?

Good theme, kak.
but... half rez? wtf?

Presley (Level 1 Seaman) at 4/30/2007 1:57:09 AM
Awesome idea for a challenge, I'm getting ideas already :D

Mil (Level 3 Private Eye) at 4/30/2007 1:43:01 AM
Whaou, it's gonna be interesting! I hope I will have the time to make something.

This is going to be a great one.

SSX had one of the best character selection menus and who can forget the classic Gauntlet.   It really adds a lot to a game when all the little details are perfect before you even jump in.
