This week's challenge will be all about letters and lettering, it seems.
Also, the two games suggested are good examples of both ends of the spectrum ![]() |

Too bad I didn't wait to submit this one
![]() Okay, I put that here nevertheless so it can inspire some of you. ![]() Be careful with A, E, K, M and X. They are really tricky to realise in their insometric 3 ways of being. R is not that easy as well. Edit : This is the still picture : ![]() Edited by Elastico-Gadget - 28 January 2013 at 2:48pm |

No, I won't submit this to the challenge, but as it is corresponding to the theme I just show it here so it can be inspirational. (Not in its realisation of course ![]() (By the way, what is the english term for the opposite of "pejorative" ? Because by "embezzlement" I wanted to use a word that meant "misappropriation" but in the good sense... ) Edited by Elastico-Gadget - 28 January 2013 at 3:02pm |

Been a long time since I participated. Here's what I have so far...
![]() Wasn't sure if it had to be a scrabble/words with friends type game. Edited by tommyboy - 28 January 2013 at 5:07pm |

Isn't that font from some of the Final Fantasy games on Nintendo handhelds? I think it isn't OK to use fonts like that...

Finally decided to try one of these challenges, now that I feel confident enough. I've been working on a modular, 3x3 character design for a little while now (some of the characters look a bit weird, but I tried making it as legible as possible), so I thought I'd try something with that. I upscaled it quite a bit (500%) since it's incredibly tiny, but I might upscale the original version by 200% for the final version so I can add smaller text for the score and controls, and nice little extra details to polish it up a bit more and give it a little texture.
![]() It's kind of like a combination lock where you have to drag the dials up and down and see what words you can find. Here, I have multiple word solutions showing at once, but I might change in in the final version since I'm worried that might give people the idea you have to find multiple ones at once. EDIT: This is likely the final version, but I'll keep myself from uploading it just now so I can take some time to see if I can revise it at all. ![]() Edited by Sajextryus - 29 January 2013 at 9:46pm |

I guess you people are familiar with learning game clichés...
![]() I'm going with the ole "frog jumps lily pads" thing. |

Remember what I posted yesterday (a few centimeters above this post)? I scratched it. Now I'm doing something more original (and less family friendly)

Hey guys the mockups look amazing!
I just want to say that if any of you have a really good idea for it, we can talk about developing the game (I'm a experienced iPad/iPhone developer) Make your idea come true! |

Ok shaturu, here's what I think:
-The size of the boxes with the letters is distracting. Try using an exact size for all of them. -Going from ABC->Z is rather unorthodox seeing that keyboards go from QWERTY->M. -The clock/timer has some bad banding. -the arrow (At least I think its an arrow [right of CARROT|]) needs work -The enemies are very nice, but the spirit could use refining (and it also has a bad case of banding). -The text-face is a little wonky. Just seems odd and the G,W, R(on the top), and K are kind of strange looking. The game is rather confusing (how can there be a P1 and P2 if there is only 1 keyboard? Are they sharing it?) -The little character in the top-right is blending into the red. -I do not know what the lines in the center signify. -do you have another image after the first? Cause it may not have loaded. Its just a block on blank. Anyway, keep working. I like the little characters, but it still needs work. Edited by crozier - 01 February 2013 at 8:20pm |

Thanks for the comments, crozier! I'll work on them! :D
Yeah, I agree with you on the box sizes, it looks really messy :( Yes, and they are sharing the keyboard. I'll also work on the red character and make it green to have a contrast. The spirit is uhh yeah...kinda bad too, but thanks for the feedback, and I'll work on an edited version of it. Many thanks ~Shaturu |

How is it now?
:D ![]() For some reason I can't submit it even when including a valid small image Error! There was a problem processing your request. Please correct the following: All pixel art requires a valid small image. Small image file must have a GIF or PNG file extension. The image above is my detail file, and the image below is my small image. ![]() ![]() Help would be appreciated thanks! ![]() Edited by shaturu711 - 02 February 2013 at 2:49pm |

Well the problem is your small file is larger than 100x100, or whatever the max is. There's a lot of open transparent space that shouldn't be there. What you have to do is when you open a new document set the size to 50x50, then copy and paste your small preview file into the new document (make sure the program that you use doesn't auto scale).
I know graphics gale (and I think photoshop and gamemaker among other programs) can set the canvas size to a specific pixel, but I do not know about other programs like paint and whatnot. EDIT: And I really suggest spending a few moments to improve on your background for that mockup. Edited by crozier - 02 February 2013 at 8:22pm |

Zombies are approching! Press TAB to switch between propositions.
One word = machine gun (Press 1) Two correct words = MG+ Cannon (Press 2) Three words = Air-strick. (Press F2) It's a real time word-game. When your HP = 0, the final hope of human kind dies with you... ![]() |
